Pyorrhea, also known as periodontitis or periodontal disease, is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth, leading to inflammation of the gums. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions can exacerbate the condition. If not treated, it can result in gum recession, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral care are essential for prevention and management.
Is pyorrhea contagious?
If you had pyorrhea, the part of your body that would hurt is your gums. Pyorrhea is a severe form of gum disease that can cause inflammation, pain, and infection in the gums, leading to symptoms such as gum recession, bad breath, and loose teeth.
I think pyorrhea is the disease, a periodontist is the type of dentist that treats it. My father had it and it seems to be genetic.
found it! pyOrrhea!
PYORRHEA IS A discharge of pus (short simple answer). Commonly, when we talk about "pyorrhea", we are refering to a dental disease. In it's advanced form, there will be a formation of pus between the bottom (roots) of the tooth and the gums around it. Many times it will cause the loosening of the tooth also. Anyone who thinks that they may have it, or starting to have it, should see their dentist ASAP!
The correct spelling of the dental condition is "pyorrhea" (gum inflammation, periodontitis).
Pyorrhea, also known as periodontitis, refers to a severe gum disease characterized by the inflammation and infection of the gums, leading to the deterioration of the supporting structures of the teeth. It can result in symptoms such as gum bleeding, bad breath, and tooth mobility. If left untreated, pyorrhea can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues. Regular dental care and proper oral hygiene are essential for prevention and management.
Pyorrhea, also known as periodontitis, is not directly hereditary, but genetic factors can influence an individual's susceptibility to gum disease. Family history may play a role in predisposing people to conditions like inflammation and immune response, which can affect oral health. However, environmental factors, such as oral hygiene practices and lifestyle choices, are also critical in the development of pyorrhea. Regular dental care and maintaining good hygiene can significantly reduce the risk, regardless of genetic predisposition.

Pyorrhea, or periodontal disease, is only related to Type 1 Diabetes, and is not directly linked to it being the cause of Type 1 Diabetes or vice versa. Periodontal disease is only related to Type 1 Diabetes in the sense that a study showed that Type 1 Diabetics showed deeper periodontal pockets and more periodontal attachment loss as opposed to non-diabetics. Those traits are the most common on patients with Pyorrhea, or periodontal disease. These symptoms of periodontal disease seem to appear among Type 1 Diabetics because some Type 1 Diabetics do not have very great metabolic control, which could lead to higher susceptibility and a greater sign of symptoms in Type 1 Diabetics. Type 1 Diabetics do not have these symptoms, but rather have a greater appearance of what a symptom is close to and thus have a higher susceptibility to Pyorrhea.
