Pyorrhea, or periodontitis, is a severe gum infection that can damage the soft tissue and destroy the bone supporting your teeth. Treatment includes deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), medications, and improved oral hygiene practices. Bad breath, often caused by gum disease, bacteria, or poor oral hygiene, is also treated alongside pyorrhea. Regular dental visits and proper care can prevent these issues from worsening. Timely treatment ensures healthy gums and fresh breath.
