Gum Disease Treatments

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!

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.

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.

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.

Gum disease has some irritating symptoms, such a chronic halitosis and unsightly spaces between the teeth. In fact, the teeth can become discolored and icky looking. Oram Plus is a natural healing compound that fights gum disease, and even works to reverse it.

Natural essential oils are able to penetrate with their healing power, while other medications simply work where they are applied. This means that Oram Plus, which is made of essential oils, is able to get under the gum line into those pockets where the bacteria are growing. Then it kills these bacteria, the very ones that cause gingivitis and gum disease!

Because Oram Plus kills those bacteria, the problem with bad breath is eliminated. And in addition to all these benefits, Oram Plus also includes ingredients that kill pain! This means that you can get rid of discomfort as well as giving your gums the best chance at bouncing back from gum disease.

Oram Plus comes in a little bottle, and might seem expensive, but you only need a drop or two when you brush your teeth. It’s that powerful! It’s really quite economical, and has a fresh, natural taste, too.

According to statistics, people are keeping their teeth longer these days than ever before. Among people who are over 65, less than a fourth of them have lost all their teeth! Most can honestly say that they have better dental health than the generation before them.

Unfortunately, there aren’t that many dentists who are skilled in geriatric dentistry (or dentistry for older people.) Older people have different needs than younger dental patients. Some of these problems are the presence of a chronic illness and the patient being on a variety of medications. These factors affect dental treatment.

Gum disease is often linked with other illnesses, such as diabetes and heart disease. Gum disease is the most common chronic condition among people, with most people developing it if they live long enough. However, good oral hygiene will definitely help to postpone it as long as possible.

Another problem seen in older dental patients is dificulty eating because of missing teeth, gum disease, or reduced saliva output. Add to this the slower recovery rate for older people, coupled with financial woes, and you can see that older people often do not get the dental care they need. Healthy gums and teeth contribute greatly to the overall quality of a person’s life regardless of age.

Periodontal Disease : Informative article by Dr. Zablotsky, Sacramento Periodontist is a great website for learning the facts about gum disease. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see a drawing of teeth which changes to show the progression from healthy gums to gingivitis to periodontal disease. Remember, though, that just because you have symptoms of gingivitis, it’s not a death sentence or anything! Not everyone who has gingivitis goes on to develop gum disease, and with preventive measures, such as good dental hygiene, and using healing oils, you can halt the process.

Why would a yogi refuse anesthetics in the dentist’s chair? Because he preferred to transcend dental medication.

Overheard in a restaurant:

Diner 1: “Rats, I forgot my false teeth!”
Diner 2 reaches in his pocket: “Oh, don’t worry. Here, try these.”
Diner 1: “Too loose.”
Diner 2: “How about these?”
Diner 1: “Too tight.”
Diner 2: “OK, how about these.”
Diner 1: “Hey, these are great! I’ve been needing to find a good dentist!”
Diner 2: “Oh, I’m not a dentist. I’m the local undertaker.”

Here are a few common questions people ask about gum disease, along with the answers.

1. Is gum disease a common condition?

Yes! As many as seventy percent of all people eventually develop it. This makes it the most common problem people have with their oral health.

2. How can I keep from getting gum disease?

Cleanliness is the key to preventing this malady. Always brush and floss every day, and get your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist as often as recommended. Use the brushing techniques your dentist shows you, too. As for the type of toothpaste to use, there are reasons to stay away from commercial toothpastes. A healing blend of essential oils can be used instead.

3. What if I already have gum disease?

The first step is a professional cleaning by a dental hygienist. After this, brush twice a day with healing natural product, and floss daily, too. The professional cleaning will remove the built-up tarter that makes gum disease worse.
