Were you positively diagnosed as having pyorrhoea? Pyorrhoea is an advanced stage of gum disease where you have persistent blood and pus oozing from your gums and your teeth become loose. I am sure at this young age your condition may not be that bad. After scaling you need to follow strict cleaning regimen to keep the gum problem away. Understand from your dentist the correct brushing technique which you need to use and other protocols to be followed.

After scaling you have to put your efforts to keep those areas clean and healthy. Sometimes subgingival scaling and curettage is required, and sometimes surgical intervention is required to make your site self cleansing. Proper treatment and post-op care will definitely give you relief from your situation.

Hi lybrate-user. Yes pyorrohea is treated by scaling. Scaling removes the deposit tartar and makes gum healthy. Long time pyorrhea needs thorough scaling and curretage.

Hello, scaling is a very superficial cleaning procedure which we do even in healthy teeth with deposits because it cleans at a very superficial level. As told by you are having gum disease periodontitis (pyorrhoea) so that require a deep round of cleaning and curettage. Sometimes other remedies like flap surgery, bone graft etc may be required based on the condition. So get one full mouth x-ray done and visit a nearby dentist for further treatment. Thanks.
