What is Periodontitis?
The term “periodontitis” refers to bacterial infections of the gums. These infections cause many problems. They cause inflammation of the gums, but also cause bone to be lost near the teeth. The term “gingivitis” refers to mild gum inflammation. When it has been happening for several years and has started to cause bone loss, the name Periodontitis applies.
Traditional dentists and dental hygienists recommend having the gums and teeth cleaned professionally (and expensively - by them!) every 3 or 4 months. I wonder if that is really necessary. It seems like there should be some natural remedy that could counteract the progression of gingivitis and periodontitis.
Actually, in the case of our seventeen year old son, we have ordered a bottle of Oram Plus.
This preparation is a combination of natural essential oils, herbs and plant extracts… our son is scheduled to have a gum treatment done tomorrow afternoon. I’ll be sure to fill you in on everything we find out.
