Pyorrhea, also known as periodontitis, is the inflammation and destruction of the tissues and bone surrounding the teeth. Periodontitis mainly begins with gingivitis. Gingivitis refers to inflammation of gums as a result of plaque formation due to poor oral hygiene.
Homeopathy has shown wonderful results in dental diseases, including pyorrhea. Homeopathic medicines for pyorrhea help to provide symptomatic relief, reduce the inflammation of tissue surrounding the teeth and prevent further damage and destruction of structures around the teeth. Homeopathy helps by strengthening the structures supporting the teeth. Homeopathy seems to work magnificently in cases of pyorrhea having mild to moderate intensity. In such cases, homeopathy can help to halt further advancement of the complaint and prevent the need for surgical intervention. Homeopathy is recommended to treat pyorrhea of both acute and chronic type.
There is a long list of medicines for pyorrhea in homeopathy. The most suitable medicine is selected based on individual case presentation. These medicines bring symptomatic relief in pyorrhea cases. Signs and symptoms like pain and tenderness of gums, swollen gums, bleeding gums, bad breath, receding gums and metallic taste in the mouth are treated well with homeopathic remedies.
Homeopathy in cases of pyorrhea fixes the root cause, thereby giving long-term results rather than temporary short term relief. For achieving the best results, it is advised to use any homeopathic medicine only after detailed case evaluation by a homeopathic doctor. A proper and complete course of treatment for the prescribed duration of time is very essential to get the best outcome. The treatment time varies from case to case depending on the chronicity of the complaint, the severity of problem and how quickly the body responds to homeopathic remedies.
Homeopathy is a very safe treatment option for pyorrhea cases. Due to use of natural medicines in homeopathy, no adverse side-effects are felt. Homeopathic medicines are devoid of any harmful chemicals, so these medicines act very gently in a very harmless way in any case of pyorrhea.

Cause and Trigger factors
Pyorrhea usually starts from gingivitis (gums inflammation). Gingivitis when left untreated, leads to periodontitis. Gingivitis is a milder form of the disease and in gingivitis, no irreversible changes take place. However, persistent gingivitis leads to the formation of deep pockets between the gums and teeth. These pockets get filled with plaque and bacteria over a period of time and start damaging the tissue and bone surrounding and supporting the teeth. Eventually, the teeth lose their grip and fall off. Certain factors increase the risk of pyorrhea. These include poor oral hygiene, tobacco use, low vitamin C, being overweight, using medicines that cause mouth dryness, and health issues that lower immunity.
Sir, I have been suffering from pyohorrea for the last few days. Bleeding from my teeth is putting me in very pathetic situation. While cleaning my teeth and spiting, bleeding comes from my mouth. Bad smells comes from my mouth. It also destroys the test of the food. Sometimes, it forces me to vomit. May I know the reasons of this. Sir, help me giving me some suitable solution to this.
Thanking you. Yours P.C. Mahalik.
Dear Dr Sharma
I would be grateful for any advice you can give me. I have been suffering with swollen gums for a very long time, but over the past 2-3 weeks the right hand side of my lower gum line has become extremely painful, although strangely the pockets seem to be improving a little in that area. The gums are not too inflamed but the pain seems to be in the bone and radiates up into the jaw an even the ear.
I have been taking Merc Vic 30c for the last 2 days and dosing 2 to 3 times a day – sometimes dissolving the soft tablet in water and other times simply putting it under my tongue. There is little improvement so far, and the pain seems to get worse in the evenings and can cause me to awaken during the night.
I should just add that I am severely dental-phobic and so could not contemplate any visit to a Dentist or Hygenist for the removal of plaque.
So, any help and advice you can give me on a suitable homeopathic remedy would be very much appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you.
