Finding An Answer To Chronic Periodontal Disease

May 10, 2009 – 8:41 am
I've been battling chronic periodontal disease for over 10 years. Believe me, there is a reason they call it chronic! Despite the surgery, despite regular quarterly dental visits for checkups and cleanings, despite the daily oral hygiene routine, it is still a struggle to keep from losing teeth. The one significant discovery I made in my search for an answer to save my teeth was a very good product called OraMD. This is not something you find at the corner drugstore or in a large commercial chain like Rite Aid, CVS or Walgreens. This is found only on the net, at least that has been my only source for acquiring this all natural product. Using this product requires a break from the normal routine of using standard toothpaste and alcohol based mouthwash. When you use OraMD, you use only OraMD. The exception to the rule is ...

Gingivitis Can Develope Into Chronic Periodontal Disease

February 25, 2009 – 8:04 pm
Gingivitis is something that should not be ignored. If your  gums are bleeding it is time to see a  dentist, and soon! Gingivitis can progress into serious chronic periodontal disease and that can mean the loss of your teeth, and even more, this condition may even be linked to heart disease and stroke. Do you have a personal oral hygiene regime that works for you? If your gums are bleeding  then you need to change what you are doing and develop oral hygiene habits that work.  I waited too long by ignoring regular dental visits and my bleeding gums developed into chronic periodontal disease. I've lost most of my back molars and have difficulty chewing. I now have impeccable oral hygiene but I paid for my lackadaisical attitude in oral hygiene with loss of teeth. The other effect of having chronic periodontal disease is the constant battle with gum infection. ...

I Found An Answer To My Chronic Gum Disease

January 19, 2009 – 4:59 pm
I have chronic periodontal disease. It is something that requires constant maintenance in order to hold on to my teeth. One of my greatest health worries is losing all my teeth. I was informed by my dentist that there is no cure for chronic periodontal disease. This means it is truly up to the individual to take as much control as possible over your dental hygiene if you suffer from gum disease on any level - from bleeding gums to gingivitis to chronic periodontal disease. Not only do you need regular cleaning's three or four times year, you need to develop an advanced oral care plan you can do at home.   I searched for an answer that would control the infection that my dentist said I would always have. I wanted to fight this infection and stop the erosion to the bone around my teeth and  stop the gum pockets from ...

Extreme Cases of Gingivitis

December 4, 2008 – 8:33 pm
These are the physical results of having an extreme case of gingivitis: When gingivitis symptoms are neglected, the teeth may either fall out or may have to be removed due to bacterial infection.  Infected pockets in the gums  surrounding the teeth is the major cause of premature tooth loss. Extreme gingivitis can escalate to chronic periodontal disease. The good news is gingivitis symptoms are almost always preventable or controllable if simple oral hygiene along with regular dental checkups are followed. Always reat gingivitis symptoms early to prevent the disease from getting out of control. Explore this blog for good advice on how to treat gum disease naturally using botanical oils.

Gum Disease News: Dental Health Links to the Whole Body

October 16, 2008 – 9:07 pm
I found this important bit of news on the internet: (Ridgewood, N.J.) Could it be that how we care for our teeth and gums may have implications for the development of chronic disease? “Yes, current research supports it, and our center is taking it very seriously,” says John R. Varoscak, D.D.S., periodontist and head of the nation's first Oral Systemic Evaluation Center. The Oral Systemic Evaluation Center is taking an interventional approach to the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease. “Until now, there has not been a dental center with a focused program to evaluate and treat periodontal disease, with the recognition that its presence has a significant effect on one's overall health and well being,” says Dr. Varoscak. “Our goal is to prevent this condition from progressing, at the expense of good health, particularly for patients at a higher risk for heart disease, diabetes and women considering pregnancy.” Gum disease my result in ...

Bleeding Gum Problems During Pregnancy

October 11, 2008 – 8:25 am
Bleeding gums during pregnancy is a common occurrence because pregnancy generally worsens any existing gum problems. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can exaggerate the body's normal response to dental plaque. Increased hormonal activity changes the way the gum tissues react to the bacteria in plaque, resulting in an increased likelihood that a pregnant woman, if her daily oral hygiene isn't very good, will develop bleeding gums. The plaque that causes bleeding gums does so by irritating the gums, making them bright red, tender, swollen, sensitive, and bleed readily. There is a positive side to this problem and that is most cases of bleeding gums during pregnancy can be prevented with proper oral hygiene. An all natural product called OraMD can help control the bacteria and plaque in your mouth without harsh chemicals or alcohol. This can be a concern during pregnancy. Many women have an increased interest in a healthy, ...

Tooth Pockets

October 5, 2008 – 11:23 am
When you don't take care of your teeth, cavities are not the only concern. You can still lose all your teeth and it isn't from decay. It is from gum disease – periodontal disease – that can start out as bleeding gums and turn to gingivitis then progress to chronic periodontal disease. When gingivitis progresses and pockets form round your teeth, this is a dangerous condition where a place is created in your mouth where bacteria can hide and do damage. The pockets become deeper and the bone around your teeth is eaten away. Your teeth loosen and eventually fall out. And not only is tooth loss a factor but there is evidence that chronic gum infection can cause heart disease. If your gums are bleeding take action now. Go see your dentist. Have your mouth checked out and have your teeth cleaned. You should be doing this twice a year anyway. ...
