Pyorrhoea is the older, everyday name for periodontitis, the stage of gum disease in which infection spreads from the gums into the bone that supports the teeth. Many patients from Anand Nagar have heard the word from parents or grandparents, usually linked with loose teeth and bad breath.
Unlike gingivitis, pyorrhoea does not affect only the surface of the gums. It damages the attachment between the tooth and the jaw. The earlier it is treated, the more of that support can be protected.
It starts with plaque and tartar irritating the gums. Over time, the gum pulls away from the tooth and a pocket forms. Bacteria collect inside this pocket, out of reach of the toothbrush. The body's reaction to the infection slowly breaks down the bone around the root. As more bone is lost, the pocket deepens and the tooth may begin to move.
Because the pocket hides the problem below the gum, pyorrhoea can look mild from the outside while the damage underneath is more advanced. This is why a proper examination is needed rather than judging by appearance. The disease can also be more active around some teeth than others, so every tooth is checked individually.
Diagnosis involves measuring the pockets around each tooth and taking a dental X-ray to see how much bone has been lost. Mild to moderate cases are often managed with deep cleaning below the gum line. Infected pockets may be treated with a diode laser or LANAP. Where the disease is advanced, flap surgery, sometimes with bone grafting, allows the specialist to clean the roots directly. All procedures are done under local anaesthesia. Afterwards, regular maintenance keeps the infection under control.
