Periodontitis: What it is and how to understand if you are affected
Periodontitis is an advanced form of gum disease that occurs when plaque and tartar build-up lead to inflammation and infection of the gums. Symptoms include bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth. At Archway Dental Group, we use advanced diagnostic tools to identify the signs of periodontitis early, enabling us to provide tailored treatments that stop the progression and protect your smile.
Pyorrhea: the disease of the gums
Pyorrhea, another name for periodontitis, is a serious gum infection caused by poor oral hygiene and bacteria build-up. It can result in swollen, tender gums, and even tooth loss if left untreated. At Archway Dental Group, our team focuses on preventive care and advanced treatments to eliminate infection and restore gum health, ensuring long-term protection for your teeth and gums.
Periodontitis pain
Pain from periodontitis often manifests as gum tenderness, sensitivity while chewing, or discomfort in the teeth. At Archway Dental Group, we prioritise your comfort by addressing the infection causing the pain. Through treatments like periodontal scaling and root planing, we effectively reduce inflammation and discomfort, helping you regain a pain-free smile.
Periodontitis: Treatments and Costs
Treating periodontitis typically involves a combination of non-surgical and, in some cases, surgical interventions. At Archway Dental Group, we offer procedures such as deep cleaning and periodontal surgery for advanced cases. We provide a transparent explanation of costs during your consultation and offer flexible finance options, ensuring you can prioritise your oral health without financial stress.
Pyorrhea: Symptoms and Causes
The symptoms of pyorrhea include swollen gums, bleeding while brushing, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth. Common causes include poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetic predisposition, and certain medical conditions. At Archway Dental Group, our focus is on identifying these symptoms early and addressing the underlying causes through personalised treatments, ensuring optimal gum health.
