"Preserving Your Smile’s Foundation with Comprehensive Care"
What Do Healthy Gums Look Like? Gums that are unhealthy can be sore, swollen and bleed. You may also notice loose teeth and bad breath (halitosis).

Pyria (calculus, red swollen gums, bleeding gums )
Pyria is a severe gum infection that damages the soft tissue and bone that support the teeth. If left untreated, it often results in tooth loss. The disease involves inflammation of the gums, pockets forming between the teeth and gums, and eventually destruction of bone and connective tissue.
Pyria treatment or bleeding gums basically focuses on the removal of plaque, reducing swelling or redness of gums, promoting reattachment of healthy gums to teeth; minimizing the risk of infection; and stopping the progression of gum diseases.
Treatment options for pyorrhea depend on the severity of the condition. They may include professional deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar, antibiotic therapy to control infection, gum surgery to repair damaged tissues, and ongoing maintenance to manage the condition.
Stains on teeth
Stains occurs when stain particles, such as pigmented residue from food or drink, build-up in the film of protein that covers the tooth enamel. Extrinsic tooth stains are typically caused by tobacco use or by regularly drinking coffee and tea, wine or cola drinks.
Limit foods and drinks that stain teeth, like tea, coffee, cola and red wine. Drink lots of water and rinse your mouth after drinking beverages that could cause tooth discoloration. Quit smoking.
Scaling and Polishing: A dental hygienist removes surface stains and plaque that regular brushing can’t remove. This is often the first step in improving the appearance of stained teeth. Air Abrasion: This method uses a stream of air and fine abrasive particles to remove surface stains more effectively than traditional cleaning.

The clinic provides treatments such as scaling and root planing to manage periodontitis, along with ongoing maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence​
3. What is Pyorrhea (Pyria)?
Pyorrhea, also known as pyria, is a severe form of periodontal disease that leads to the discharge of pus from the gums due to infection.
