Is pyorrhea the same as gum disease?




Pyorrhea is commonly used to refer to gum disease, but it is not the preferred modern clinical term.


Dentists generally use terms such as:
  • Gingivitis
  • Periodontitis
  • Periodontal disease


Therefore, when a patient says, “I have pyorrhea,” a dental examination is needed to determine whether the problem is gingivitis, periodontitis or another oral condition.
