Are There Ways to Decrease Your Likelihood of Developing Gum Disease?

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Gum disease is the most common chronic disease condition on earth. More than half of all people eventually develop it if they live long enough. While aging is one of the risk factors, there are other factors that a person can control, which can lower your chances of developing this condition.

For one thing, quit smoking. It doesn’t matter to your gums whether you smoke cigarettes, a pipe, or a cigar, all are damaging to your gums. In fact, smokeless tobacco may be the most damaging of all. Your general health will thank you, too, when you give up this harmful habit.

Because gum disease is fought off by a healthy immune system, stress can be a factor in developing the disease. Depression, poor coping skills, and even financial woes have all been linked to an increased risk of gum disease.

If you have diabetes, your chances rise, but controlling your blood sugar will help you avoid the disease. It will help you prolong your life, too! Certainly, it is worth it to control your diabetes if you possibly can.

Pregnancy is also a time when a toll is taken on a woman’s teeth. Gum disease can be the result. If you happen to be pregnant, make sure you get your nutrition, including plenty of protein and calcium. Also make sure you take good care of your teeth by brushing and flossing them regularly.

Factors you can’t control include a predisposition to gum disease because of genetics. Even if it runs in your family, however, there are things you can do, such as using all-natural Oram Plus to promote gum health.

What are Receding Gums?

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Sometimes gum disease is called “periodontal disease.” Periodontal refers to the area around the tooth, or the gums. When this area becomes infected with bacteria, it affects not only the gums, but also the bone that supports the tooth. As the infection progresses, the gums pull away from the teeth.

Pockets form along the gum line. Bacteria grows in these pockets. A dentist or dental hygienist can discover these pockets by inserting a tool into them. A treatment from the dental hygienist will involve placing antibacterial powder down into these pockets. A treatment like this is very expensive, and is not expected to halt the progression of the disease for good, but only to slow it down.

As the gums recede, the supporting bone also begins to disintegrate. Ultimately, if the progression is not halted, the teeth will fall out. Fortunately, there are natural methods of treating receding gums & gum disease. One of the most effective is Oram Plus, a blend of healing essential oils. A couple of drops is all it takes to add the healing essence to your gums and begin the process of restoring your dental health.

Can Gum Disease be Reversed?

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

According to Rose, it can. Rose has Crohn’s disease, which affects many parts of the body including the gums. Read her testimonial about Oram Plus. Dentists will tell you that if you have gum disease, you will have to go to the dental hygienist every three months for the rest of your life. Not if you use Oram Plus, though. The progression of this disease can be halted and healing can take place.

Is Curing Bad Breath Possible?

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

Are you one of those people who has a hard time keeping your breath fresh? Chances are you have gum disease. If you do, your breath might feel fresh right after you suck on a mint, but it isn’t long before it begins to trouble you again.

By the way, how can a person tell they have bad breath if a friend or family member doesn’t tell them? One dead give-away is a bad taste in your mouth. You can also lick your finger and then smell it. Yuck? Well, fortunately there are things you can do.

For one thing, you can make sure you always brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth any time you brush your teeth. In fact, if your gum disease has already run its course and you’ve already lost your teeth, you can still brush out the inside of your mouth! There are also special tongue cleaners on the market for cleansing any bad smelling bacteria off your tongue.

Curing the gum disease, though, will let you keep your teeth longer, and will also help in curing bad breath. The best treatment you can give your gums is to brush with a natural essential oil blend formulated just for gum health. My son is having great results treating his gum disease!

What Causes a Toothache?

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

When a person complains of a toothache, it generally means they have pain in the area of the teeth or possibly the jaws. The pain, as you know, can be excruciating. A toothache can be caused by a variety of factors. Cavities in the teeth, a cracked or broken tooth, or a root that is exposed are some common causes.

Since gum disease causes the gums to recede away from the roots of the teeth, it can cause a toothache, too. Oram Plus contains essential oils that dull the pain you feel from these exposed roots.

Another pain people feel in their teeth comes from temperature changes. I have found that I can chew something hot, but I can’t when my teeth are cold. And I can’t chew anything cold at all. That makes eating salads really hard because, especially in restaurants, they are usually icy cold.

Here are a few tips for easing this pain. Try popping your salad into the microwave for twenty or thirty seconds. It takes the chill off without cooking it or making it wilt. Leave fruit out in a fruit bowl instead of leaving it in the refrigerator. It won’t hurt your teeth at room temperature. Any cold foods can be allowed to set out for a little while. My teeth have hurt when eating cottage cheese, for instance.

And of course, get a little bottle of Oram Plus, which will work to heal the gum disease as well as deadening the pain of a toothache.

Bleeding Gums?

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

Did you know that it is not normal and healthy for your gums to bleed when you brush or floss your teeth? It’s long been thought to be a sign that you’re doing a “good job” brushing when your gums bleed. The truth is that it is a warning sign of gingivitis, which often leads to gum disease.

The best thing you can do for bleeding gums is to switch from a conventional toothpaste to an all natural gum health treatment. Conventional toothpastes contain all sorts of synthetic, unhealthful ingredients, including fluoride. While fluoride is reputed to be good for your teeth, it is one of the most toxic chemicals known to man.

Natural essential oils are great healers. By treating bleeding gums in the beginning, you can prevent gum disease later.

Thyme Oil is a Potent Healer!

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

Healing is greatly sped up when you use certain essential oils. One of these oils, found in the formula called Oram Plus, is thymus vulgaris, or thyme oil. Thyme grows wild in southern Europe, but is grown in gardens around the world. Thyme is in the mint family, but has a range of medicinal properties unique from the rest of the mints. The oil contains chemicals called phenols which account for its anti-microbial activity. The germ fighting power of thyme oil is reported to be strong.

In the past, thyme has been used as a temple incense, to ward off diseases, and to encourage the heart of a knight heading off to battle. Now it is considered among the best oils to do away with bacteria. Since bacteria is at the heart of gum disease, it makes sense that thyme oil would be included in an oil blend designed for gum health.
