It is commonly knowr. as pyorrhea, and next to tooth decay is the most pre- valent dental disorder, according to the Dental Institute of America. Broadly speaking, pyorrhea consists of diseased pockets about the teeth, the tissues supporting which become irritated Ls reasons, causing lowered re- sistance to the invasion of germs. In time, the germs destroy more supporting tissue, the tooth is loosened and -often lost. Pyorrhea literally means a flow of pus. glect and ignorance account for startling prevalence of this disease,” s the Institute, “for dental science has evolved a simple and highly effective method of treatment. Vast numbers of people are losing their teeth from sheer lack of dental care.” Statistics by some authorities indicate that the percentage of Afmericans having pyorrhea range about as follows: At 20 years, 10 per cent; at 30. years, 50 per cent; at 40 years, 80 per cent; at 50 years, 90 per cent or more. _ Records show that in nearly all ad- vanced cases there is evidence of total neg- lect of professional dental attention over a considerable period of time. So whether we call it pyorrhea or use the more fearsome term, periodontoclasis, we should look out for this highly pre- lisease, and have it treated eorly, the vaient thus preserving health and possibly ex- | | tending life.
