Periodontal Disease (Pyorrhea) treatment in Allende

Periodontal disease, popularly known as pyorrhea, is a condition of the tissues that support the teeth —gums, ligament, and bone— caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar. As it advances, it can compromise how firmly the teeth are held in place.

Common symptoms: gums that bleed or recede, bad breath, sensitivity, and, in advanced stages, loose teeth.

Contributing factors: poor hygiene is the main cause, but smoking, diabetes, and a family predisposition also play a role.

Which specialist treats it? The periodontist focuses on diseases of the gums and dental support; the dentist and the maxillofacial surgeon take part depending on the complexity. If you notice constant bleeding or that your teeth feel loose, evaluating the situation with a professional in time makes an important difference in the health of your mouth.
