Pyorrhea, also known as periodontitis, is a serious gum disease that results in inflammation, bleeding, pus formation, and eventually loosening of teeth if left untreated. Ayurveda provides natural and effective ways to treat pyorrhea and restore oral health.

What is Pyorrhea?

Pyorrhea (Periodontitis) is a serious gum infection that leads to:

• Loose or shaky teeth

• Pus and bleeding from gums

• Formation of hard tartar (plaque)

• Foul smell from the mouth

If not treated in time, teeth become weak and start falling out.

Causes of Pyorrhea (According to Ayurveda):

1. Improper oral hygiene – Not cleaning teeth regularly or correctly

2. Frequent untimely eating habits

3. Indigestion and weak digestive fire (Agni)

4. Liver dysfunction – leads to acidity in the blood, affecting gums

5. Heavy, non-vegetarian or greasy food

6. Excessive consumption of pan, gutkha, tobacco

7. Breathing through the mouth instead of the nose

8. Not chewing food properly

9. Chronic constipation, indigestion
