HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR PYORRHEA
Pyorrhea
is a very common periodontal disease that affects gums surrounding the roots of
the teeth. It leads to inflammation, irritation and pus in gums further
resulting in loosening of teeth. Pyorrhea is the primary cause for tooth loss
in adults.
Causes ---Pyorrhea is caused by bacterial
infection. Food
particles get stuck in crevices between teeth. When teeth are not brushed
properly and regularly, bacteria build up on teeth plaque. Bacteria convert
these food particles especially the sugar into acids. These acidic elements
putrefy the gums and teeth and induce Pyorrhea like conditions.
Other common causes of Pyorrhea
include external injury of teeth and gums, improper use of toothpick and incorrect
brushing.
Symptoms-Pus oozing from margins of
teeth- Swollen and inflamed gums-
Loosened
teeth roots.-Sepsis of digestive tract or liver disorders, if pus persists for
a longer time.
