Pyorrhoea
Pyorrhoea, or
periodontal disease, to give it a proper medical term, is
disease of the gums. It is one of the most widely prevalent
diseases. It affects the membrane surrounding the roots of the
teeth and lead to loosening of the teeth, us formation, and
shrinkage of the gum. This disease is the primary cause for
tooth loss among adults
Symptoms:
The gums become tender, and on pressing, pus oozes out along the
margin of the teeth. Us from the cavities continually find its
way into the stomach. When the disease is far advanced, the gums
become swollen, and the stomach being sosed with increasing
quantities of pus, does not function properly. A sepsis may
appear in various forms, digestion gets disturbed, liver trouble
sets in, and the whole system is adversely affectedRoot cause:
Pyorrhoea is triggered by bacterial activity .A thin layer of
harmful bacteria is continuously building up on our teeth. If it
is not removed by tooth cleansing, especially after meals, it
forms an organized mass on the tooth surface in a short time.
This is referred to as bacterial plaque. When accumulated,
bacteria in plaque produce many toxins, which irritate the gums,
causing them to become inflamed, tender and prone to bleeding
easily. The bacterial activity is however, facilitated by the
lowered vitality of the system. Other factors contributing to
the development of pyorrhea include chemical irritants in the
mouth, incorrect brushing, stagnation of food particles, and
improper use of tooth picks.
