Pyorrhea is not a pretty sight. In the early stages gums are discolored and become a dark red instead of their fresh pinkish color. As the disease progresses gums recede, pockets form and bleeding occurs.
Advanced periodontal disease (Pyorrhea) can effect the whole body causing in some cases life threatening health issues like:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Problems controlling Diabetes
- Respiratory disease
- Pancreatic cancer
- Low birth rate babies
Gum disease starts as a progression in three stages with Pyorrhea being the most serious.
Gingivitis is the earliest stage and is reversible; gums become inflamed from plaque build up at the gumline. There may be bleeding during flossing and brushing.
Stage 2 is where you begin to see irreversible damage to supporting bone and tissue. Pockets may form below the gumline; food and plaque become trapped. At this stage there is still hope if treatment is received early enough to prevent more damage.
It is at the third and final stage where Advanced Periodontitis wreaks total havoc and destruction on the bones and supporting structures of the teeth. Teeth can shift, become loose or even fall out. Aggressive dental treatment may be too much, too little too late to save teeth.

Yes it may be hard to believe but the very toothbrush you clean your teeth with can cause mouth infection, gum disease, bad breath and tooth decay.
When you really think about it all those nasty little germs you scrap off your teeth stick to the surface of your brush. They can infect or re-infect gums and soft tissue traveling deep below the gum line.
What’s On The Surface Of Your Toothbrush
To reduce the risk of infection clean and sterilize toothbrush bristles.

It is a sticky mixture of food particles, bacteria and mucus.
What Is Gingivitis
It is a mild form of gum disease.
If caught and treated in its early stages brushing and flossing may remove much of the tartar and plaque but dental visits still may be required for a full assessment.
When Gingivitis is left untreated it can progress to (more…)
