Pyorrhea is the general name of gum diseases. Intact gums are light pink in color and tightly surround the teeth. There is no gum bleeding or gum recession in healthy gums, and there is absolutely no bad breath in the mouth of a patient with healthy gums. If our gums are unhealthy, we may one day lose our teeth due to gum disease, even if we do not have any decay. If the gums are not treated, even healthy, decay-free teeth may be lost, and loose teeth with bleeding gums will fall out on their own, without even having to be removed. Gum bleeding is prevented, thus preventing bad breath and our teeth and gums are cleaned.
In addition to the above; brushing your teeth regularly (at least 2 times a day; in the morning and evening after meals, each brushing for 2 minutes and using circular movements) going to the dentist for check-ups twice a year, having our teeth cleaned every 6 months if necessary, using dental floss regularly every day, especially in the evenings, It helps remove hardened tartar from the areas we cannot clean, and our mouth and body regain a healthy structure.
