Periodontitis(Pyorrhoea): Causes and Symptoms

Image
The inability of a person to keep his/her teeth & gums clean is the primary reason for developing Pyorrhoea /Periodontitis. This means the patient who doesn’t brush regularly or doesn’t do it properly, is at a very high risk of developing it. At the beginning stage of infection, the bacteria build up in plaque around the gums leading to bleeding from gums while brushing teeth. During this stage, no bone loss has occurred & the problem is reversible. When the gum infection is untreated for a longer duration it can lead to periodontitis, which is an advanced stage of gum disease . At this stage, the pocket is developed around the tooth/teeth, leading to gum and bone loss. These pockets collect all the edible, sugary liquids, and make it more infected. The immune systems fight these bacteria by creating a plague around the gum line. During this process, the disease progresses making the pockets deeper and destroying the gum and bone tissue. The teeth are no longer attached to gum

What are Sealants in dentistry?

  Sealants are applied on a child’s chewing surface that supplements protection against tooth decay. They are thin coatings of plastic used to seal the pits and fissures engrained on the chewing surface of the posterior teeth. Hence, sealants are like a fence that will prevent the occurrence of plaque and acids in the biting area. Many times brushing and flossing are ineffective in deeply cleaning the teeth depressions and groves. The remnants of food particles in the mouth enhances bacteria thereby dissolving enamel covering of the tooth. We suggest applying sealants soon after permanent molar eruption in a child, nearly between 6-12 years of age. Sealants application doesn’t require injecting general anesthesia. It takes a few minutes per tooth to paint sealants. As per the treatment procedure, our professionals will first thoroughly clean the child’s chewing surface and condition it with a peculiar solution that will bind sealants to the enamel. If required we may use “curing” light
