A Natural Treatment of Gingivitis
Gingivitis is a condition that takes place before full blown gum disease takes place. If you have this disorder, it makes sense to treat it before it advances into gum disease.
The cause of gingivitis is usually bacteria. These bacteria in produce toxins, which in turn cause inflammation of the gums. To get rid of gingivitis, you need to kill these microbes before they have a chance to multiply and cause more problems.
Regular tooth brushing and flossing is the first step in the treatment of gingivitis. In many cases, though, the bacteria get entrenched and you need to increase your efforts. The healing combination of essential oils found in Oram Plus makes a great alternative to conventional toothpaste. Just put a few drops on a clean toothbrush and brush as usual.
It’s a good idea to get a new toothbrush every so often. The old ones wear out and can harbor germs. Do choose a soft bristled brush for best results.
Our kids, who have been super disciplined about caring for their teeth since their recent dental visits, have been setting a timer for 3 minutes, and brushing until it rings. What a great way to keep that old gingivitis at bay! Follow up with a daily flossing! (By the way, you might want to use a dental floss that is treated with tea tree oil for even more essential oil support.)
