Treating mouth ulcers and sores

October 3rd, 2006

It’s thought that the foaming agent in commercial toothpaste (SLS or sodium lauryl sulphate) might be responsible for a large majority of mouth ulcers, a massive 20% of the population have an allergy to it …and most people don’t even realise this when they brush their teeth with this stuff twice a day!!

A good way to prevent and treat mouth ulcers (or sores) is by using a good antibacterial, all natural and SLS free tooth treatment (such as Oram Plus)

How to treat an abcess on your gums

September 29th, 2006

A tooth abcess (actually spelt abscess) is when you get an infection in your gums; during this process, you will normally get a collection of ”pus” forming (this simply means your body is having a hard time fighting off the infection)!

You can dramatically help your body and immune system out by applying a strong anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal agent (such as Oram Plus) onto the area of infection… and it should start to clear up nicely within a few days :)

Does baking soda whiten teeth?

September 21st, 2006

…The simply answer is ‘Yes’, Baking soda is a great teeth whitener and it even helps neutralize any nasty breath odours!  

To use; simply dip a wet toothbrush into a little baking soda and brush as usual. For best results use in conjunction with Oram Plus as Baking soda doesn’t contain any anti-cavity or anti-bacterial agents! 

TRY IT; Baking soda and Oram Plus, makes your teeth look and feel great!!!

Are You Afraid of the Dentist?

September 13th, 2006

Now, here’s an article that I can relate to! “Dental Phobia Panic and Anxiety” looks at this all-too-common reaction to going to the dentist. Sometimes people have a bad experience with a dentist and can’t quite get over it. (I personally freaked out in the dentist’s chair once when I was 17.)

Other times, people are phobic about needles, and sometimes they just don’t like pain.

Of course, a little pain never hurt anyone. :-)

Does heart disease go along with gum disease?

September 12th, 2006

Heart disease is a leading cause of death among men and women. Unfortunately, there seems to be evidence that gum disease can predispose someone to heart disease. This probably happens because the bacteria that causes the gum disease gets into the bloodstream. From there they attach to the fat deposits in the blood vessels. The theory goes that the result can be blood clots or a heart attack.

If you have had a heart valve replacement or other known problems with your valves, you need to take good care of your gums. Also, be sure to tell your dentist about any problems you have with your heart.

Smoking may cause up to HALF of all gum disease cases!!

September 12th, 2006

I found an interesting article today on how smoking may be linked to gum disease, check it out by clicking here

Apparently new research indicates cigarette smoke destroys the antioxidants in your saliva called ‘glutathiones’ (which help keep your gums healthy)!!

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

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?

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.

Many people have found a remedy for their bad breath problems. Chronic bad breath can cause you to miss out on a lot of living. One of the major causes for bad breath is gum disease. Natural essential oils are the answer to this social malady.

Using Oram Plus has helped many overcome this problem. Oram Plus works to heal the gum disease so that you can have fresh healthy breath again.

The powerful healing oils send their essense into the areas where bacteria has been causing the gum disease.

Bad breath will soon be a thing of the past!

Can Gum Disease be Reversed?

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.
