Pyria of the gums means bleeding of the gums, which does not occur in healthy gums. Bleeding of the gums can happen spontaneously, or after slight provokation, like after brushing the teeth. This usually occurs when there is inflammation of the gums, as the blood vessels beneath the gums will dilate and can rupture more easily. This is a serious indication that there is something wrong with your teeth, and should be seen by the dentist as soon as possible.

First off, everyone should be brushing their teeth at least two to three times a day and flossing at least once a day. Ask your dentist or dental assistant to show you proper brushing and flossing technique. Visiting the dentist twice a year (every 6 months) for a check up and dental prophylaxis is a typical time period for many. (For example the National Health Service (NHS) Dental Services in a 6 month study period in 2010 found that 71% of patients in the U.K. were having a dental check up every 9 months; however, they also feel the interval between visits may be shorter than necessary and this is a source of unnecessary treatment).
B. Gum Recession: Bacterial Infection (Periodontitis) : Gum recession can result when a patient has gum disease (periodontitis). The causes, treatments and outcomes are different from what is involved when gum recession occurs as a result of the patient having "thin, fragile gum tissues". Periodontitis is a more aggressive disease and can destroy not only the gum tissues, but also the underlying bone which supports the teeth. The result of untreated periodontitis is the loss of some or all of your teeth. Even though "gum recession" may have been what caught your attention, this page will discuss what you need to know about periodontitis since this gum infection may have caused your recession and will affect all of your teeth, not just the one(s) with recession.
Oral Surgery : includes a lot more that simply the removal of teeth. It also involves repairing fractures of the jaw, TMJ treatment, skeletal discrepancies (in conjunction with the orthodontist) and implants.
Oral Surgery is a specialty of Dentistry. This means that when a procedure is complex, we would typically refer a patient to a Oral Surgeon. However, most of the time, a procedure can easily be performed in the general dentists office.
Extractions are generally one of a few different types. They can be SIMPLE, SURGICAL, IMPACTED, or PARTIALLY IMPACTED. When a tooth is IMPACTED, it means that either the tooth is under the tissue (tissue impacted) or deeper, under the bone (bony impacted). When teeth have had a root canal done on them, they tend to be a little more brittle and they could fracture in the process of removing them. Many baby teeth become "hollowed" out as they are in the process of being replaced by an adult tooth. During that time, the roots could become fragile and easily break off a root, since they are often very thin and fragile. For this reason, we generally prefer to let the baby teeth fall out on their own.
WISDOM TEETH : The third molars are the most common teeth that people think of when they think of oral surgery. These teeth generally come out between the ages of 17 and 23, however, they could come out as late at 25 or so. Generally speaking, if your wisdom teeth haven't come out by age 26, then you are probably going to be one of the "lucky" ones who doesn't have to have their wisdom teeth out. Often the wisdom teeth are extracted for a number of reasons. The primary reasons include, they come in crooked, they get decay easily due to their difficult access for cleaning, they are coming in at such an angle that they are pushing the adjacent teeth and/or and they can develop a periodontal pocket easily. They often can become food traps and jeopardize the 2nd molar in front of the wisdom tooth.
PYORRHEA DISEASE OF TOOTH AND GUMS : Periodontitis /ˌpɛrioʊdɒnˈtaɪtɪs/ or pyorrhea /ˌpaɪəˈriə/ is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium, i.e., the tissues that surround and support the teeth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth. Periodontitis is caused by microorganisms that adhere to and grow on the tooth's surfaces, along with an overly aggressive immune response against these microorganisms. A diagnosis of periodontitis is established by inspecting the soft gum tissues around the teeth with a probe (i.e., a clinical exam) and by evaluating the patient's x-ray films (i.e. a radiographic exam), to determine the amount of bone loss around the teeth.[1] Specialists in the treatment of periodontitis are periodontists; their field is known as "periodontology" or "periodontics".
The word "periodontitis" comes from the Greek peri, "around", odous (genitive odontos), "tooth", and the suffix -itis, in medical terminology "inflammation".
