Gum Disease And Gum Infection

Gum Disease And Gum Infection

Inflammation of the gums, bleeding gum, gum infectionsand increased sensitivity of the gums and teeth are symptoms that may alert you to gingivitis and/or other oral diseases that indicate a need to seek professional help.

It is not something you should let go. Untreated gum disease and infection is linked not only to tooth loss, but also severe problems such as heart disease and stroke.   If you see the dentist about this you will hear a suggestion about antibiiotics or sugery.

First, why not use some less harmful methods to see if you can get this under control.

CoQ10

I have found CoQ10 to be very helpful with gum disease and inflammation. CoQ10 quality may vary from brand to brand. That is why it is necessary to find a high quality one. I suggest that you read an article on the high quality CoQ10 I carry, created through a microbe process.

Hydrogen Peroxide Rinse

In addition, many people find that rinsing the mouth with one capful of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide diluted in a little water after brushing will help with gum infection quite a bit.  

Try to hold the Hydrogen Peroxide in your mouth for one minute, swishing it several times. (It will foam, so be prepared for that.) Then spit it out. Don't rinse the residue from you mouth. I suggest you do this routine in the evening after brushing and flossing the teeth, before you go to bed.

Once the gum infection and gum disease is down, do once a week for maintenance.

Also soak your toothbrush in a small cup of Hydrogen Peroxide between use to clean the toothbrush. Change the Hydrogen Peroxide every few days. Make sure to put the cap back on the H2O2 tightly.

Flossing and Interdental Cleaners

A survey in 2001 by the American Dental Association (ADA) showed that almost one in three adults clean their teeth using dental floss or interdental cleaners (brushes, picks or sticks to help clean between the teeth) once a day, and another 12 percent use these products twice or more daily.

About a quarter of adults reported that they floss or use interdental cleaners once a week or less, while 7 percent said they never use these products. Women (50 percent) are more likely than men (37 percent) to report cleaning their teeth with floss or interdental cleaners at least once a day.

Why is cleaning between your teeth so important? By flossing or using an interdental cleaner, you are removing decay causing plaque - the sticky film of bacteria that coats your teeth. While toothbrushing removes plaque from tooth surfaces, it can't do the entire job of removing plaque from between the teeth and under the gum line.

Tooth decay and gum disease or gum infection often start in these areas, so it is very important to clean them thoroughly to prevent cavities and serious gum problems. Using the Hydrogen Peroxide and swishing it around helps to get clear this bacteria between the teeth and in the gums, as well.

A sign at my dentist says, “ You do not have to floss your teeth, Only do the ones you want to keep!” Most things are a habit. Start your Children doing this early and hopefully make this a life long habit. Us older ones, It is a good way to keep your teeth. And flossing helps remove the bacteria that causes decay so that we can keep the ones we have. As well, this kind of care will many times stop bleeding gum and receding gum.
