Paria (Pyorrhea) Treatment
Gingivitis or Paria (Pyorrhea), commonly known as gum disease is an inflammation of the soft tissue area (gum) which surrounds your teeth. Throughout the day a thin layer called biofilm forms over your teeth, this is known as plaque. This is a sticky and natural layer made up primarily of bacteria. As these bacteria in plaque feed on the sugar you ingest, they excrete acid and it is this acid which causes tooth decay.
When you clean your teeth you will be removing this biofilm layer but if the film is not removed adequately enough then it can begin to harden, particularly in between teeth where it’s difficult to clean. As it hardens it turns into a thick cream coloured layer called tartar.This tartar can then irritate the gums whilst also giving the bacteria a really good place to read and hide. This inflammation of the gums, caused by the buildup of tartar then turns into gum disease.
Causes of Paria (Pyorrhea)
Pyorrhea typically happens when you lack dental hygiene. It can also be hereditary in the case of aggressive pyorrhea or caused by being immunocompromised, as in the case of cancer or HIV patients. Letting bacteria stick to your teeth in the form of filmy plaque or tartar will deteriorate your teeth from its enamel to its periodontium tissues
The most common causes of pyorrhea
Poor Dental Hygiene
Bacteria tend to spread if you don’t kill them with mouthwash or brush your teeth clean off all plaque and food bits. Flossing also helps a lot in scraping the plaque and the remnants of rotting food in between the spaces of your teeth. If you don’t brush and floss twice daily and mouthwash occasionally, you’re in for a rude awakening
Complacency and Neglect
Complacency is a slow but sure killer in and of itself. When you’re complacent with your dental habits to the point where the coating of plaque on your teeth has become tartar or seemingly enamel (it’s not, by the way), then that leads to dental destruction of the highest order. You don’t realize how neglect can affect your teeth and gums until it’s usually too late.
Plaque and Tartar
When bad oral bacteria are allowed to run rampant in your mouth, they tend to form off-white or yellow film of protein and leftover food that’s teeming with germs called plaque. When this plaque hardens due to calcium deposits being put in the mix, it turns into calculus or tartar. The longer plaque stays on tooth enamel, the worse off your teeth and periodontium will become down the line.
Gingivitis or Mild Periodontal Disease
Great things start from small beginnings. Bad things too. Plaque left on your teeth can cause gingivitis, which is the mildest form of periodontal disease. This condition is defined as inflammation and irritation of the gum around the base of your teeth, which is also known as the gingiva. Gingivitis is reversible with good home oral care and professional dental treatment, as with periodontitis.
Periodontitis or Severe Periodontal Disease
By failing to reverse gingivitis, it can worsen and develop all the way into Paria or periodontitis. In other words, gingivitis can directly result in periodontitis, which causes pockets to develop between teeth and gums as your periodontal tissues die out. These pockets where the periodontium and gingiva used to be will then be filled with plaque, tartar, and (of course) bacteria.
Diabetes and Paria
Certain conditions can cause other conditions to surface in your body. This is the case with diabetes and Paria. If you have diabetes, your chances of also developing periodontitis also increase. Diabetics are often asked to observe dental hygiene to save themselves from further complications like dental disease
Smoking
Smoking tobacco is bad for you in many ways, including its impact on your dental health. Yes, there are links between smoking cigarettes and Paria development. Continuing to smoke while your periodontitis is being treated also interferes with the treatment so you better get a nicotine patch and wean yourself from smoking altogether.
Treatment of Pyria
Periodontal disease or Paria (pyorrhea) is curable but there is a point of no return you should be aware of with this disease. You might not be able to save some or all of your teeth if your Paria is particularly bad, despite it being curable or reversible.
Long story short, you should brush and floss daily as well as gargle with mouthwash in order to keep bacterial populations low and your Paria risk even lower. Here are important things to remember:
Brushing
You should brush twice a day or even three times (best habit, brush your teeth after breakfast and dinner) a day to avoid developing Paria or any other kind of oral disease. You should also brush properly and don’t scrape too hard with your brush. Move the brush in a circular pattern and do it thoroughly but gently instead of roughly and shoddily. Brush at least 2-3 minutes daily and don’t forget to regularly change your toothbrush as well every 3-4 months.
Flossing
Kids nowadays know flossing as a dance but these Millennials and Gen Z children should also be aware of how to properly floss in the dental sense. Many simply slip the floss between the teeth then pull it out in mere seconds, thinking they’re done. What they’re supposed to do is use a piece of floss on each individual tooth and then scrape not only the stuck bits of food but also the plaque on the tooth surface until all the teeth have been properly flossed.
Mouthwash
Mouthwash is at least a bit more self-explanatory than flossing or brushing. Just gargle with the mouthwash and then spit it out, right? In certain situations, like when you have a bacterial infection or swelling infected gums, you might need to let that mouthwash stay in your mouth for at least 30 seconds before spitting it out. Ideally, you should use antiseptic mouthwash and use it after brushing and flossing. It also helps get rid of bad breath.
Home-Made Remedies
You can also make use of home-made remedies to help fight or prevent Paria. For example, you can chew an onion in order to kill germs that assist in periodontitis development. Onion also helps treat the bleeding gums symptom of both gingivitis and periodontal disease. You even have the option to eat fruits enriched with Vitamin C such as lemon and guava. Lemon prevents gum inflammation as well.
Dentist Visit
You should regularly visit your dentist. This is important because he’s the one who’ll keep tabs on the healthiness of your gums. He can also do thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums that are even more effective than everyday brushing and flossing known as prophylaxis for at least every 6 months. Your dentist knows best and can provide the right treatment for your issues.
Scaling: This procedure involves the dentist removing tartar and plaque on your teeth, gums, and periodontal pockets. This buildup of yellowish and brownish material is directly causing your
Paria
Special debridement tools are needed to access these areas because they’re beyond the reach of flossing, tooth brushing, or prophylaxis treatments.
Deep Cleaning
If you’re a patient with moderate Paria and deep periodontal pockets where there used to be gum tissue, bone, and ligaments, you should avail of this treatment. It’s a package deal to treat chronic gum disease using the services of scaling and root planing.
Flap surgery and bone grafting
In case of advanced periodontitis we recommend flap surgery with or without bone grafting depending on the condition of the underlying bone.
Root Planing
The infected root is then smoothened out using dental instruments like a drill or a laser. The bacteria usually collects at the root and the pockets caused by your receding gum line, thus necessitating cleanup and removal. What’s more, infected tooth roots need to be planned in order to begin their healing.
