Co Q10 (Coenzyme Q10) and Gum Disease - Chronic Periodontal Disease - The Cure Factor

October 9, 2010 – 8:32 am
I have chronic periodontal disease. I've been fighting it for years. Surgery, root scaling, root planing, frequent cleanings, good oral hygiene, and even using OraMD - a great natural product - only partially solved the problem. If I feel pain while biting down on an apple, the immediate fear is that I will lose another tooth. There seems to be a missing factor in this battle with gum disease for those of us that are genetically predisposed towards it. I think I've found the missing piece of the puzzle. CoQ10 I know about the relationship between CoQ10 and gum disease and in the past I've tried it, but never for very long. I didn't see speedy results and the cost of CoQ10 was prohibitive. Either I didn't use it long enough or it just wasn't going to work. I just couldn't afford the experiment. But just a little while ago I came ...

Gingivitis Is More Common Than Previously Thought

October 3, 2010 – 4:48 pm
Gingivitis is a disease that has the potential to cause significant oral problems, including bad breath, bleeding gums and the possible loss of teeth. General ignorance of the problem has caused it to grow into a significant public health concern. Reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plus the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) suggests that previous accounts of the prevalence of gum disease and gingivitis may have underestimated the problem by as much as 50 percent, thus indicating it may be far worse problem than previously thought.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Gum Disease Connection

August 21, 2010 – 12:27 pm
Here is another reason for good oral hygiene New York University researchers have found that gum disease may increase the risk of cognitive dysfunction associated with Alzheimer's disease. The NYU study says there is evidence that gum inflammation is associated with inflammation in the brain. Dr. Angela Kamer, assistant professor of periodontology and implant dentistry, led the research team that studied 20 years of data from Denmark that supports the hypothesis of a link between periodontal disease and AD. People with gum disease at 70 years of age were nine times more likely to test in the lower range of brain function tests compared to those with little or no periodontal inflammation. This is another good reason to make that dental appointment. End Gum Disease Now OraMD is an all-natural solution for gum disease

Periodontitis And PSA Levels In Prostatitis & Periodontitis Patients

July 5, 2010 – 11:49 am
Is there a link between Prostatitis and Periodontal disease? A recent study by Nabil F. Bassada DDS, MSD of Cleveland Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine wrote an article titled “Association Between Periodontal Disease and Prostate-Specific Antigen Levels in Chronic Prostatitis Patients” published in the Journal of Periodontology. The study investigated if links exist between periodontitis and PSA levels in prostatitis patients. By identifying that men having moderate to severe prostatitis also have periodontitis means that a predisposition to either condition can be measured by probability with early diagnosis and treatment options and prevent further inflammation and spread of bacterial infection. The results of the study of 35 men show the increased probability that both conditions are linked. End Gum Disease Now OraMD is an all-natural solution for gum disease

Difference Between Gingivitis and Chronic Periodontal Disease

June 2, 2010 – 4:34 pm
Genetics play a major factor in periodontitis Gingivitis is not an early, mild form of periodontitis. The evidence proves this to be true. From the body's response perspective, there are important differences. Gingivitis and Periodontitis cause different host responses. Numerous studies have proven that periodontitis is primarily a B cell and plasma cell response, while gingivitis is mainly a T cell mediated response. A genetic perspective shows that a progression from gingivitis to periodontitis involves the interplay of inflammatory mediators, DNA expression, and periodontal pathogens so for the disease progression to occur, the patient must be genetically susceptible to periodontitis. The inflammation from gingivitis acts as a switch to turn on the patient’s DNA, which may or may not dictate expression of periodontitis. If a patient is genetically susceptible to periodontal disease, when his or her DNA is switched on ...

Bleeding Gums, Gingivitis and Pregnancy

February 1, 2010 – 8:30 pm
Found in an article on the internet: By: April Scarlett "Bleeding gums are an ordinary part of pregnancy that up to 75 percent of expectant mothers experience. When bleeding gums are a more serious symptom of gum disease, however, the implications on the unborn child can be significant. A new study from Obstetrics and Gynecology shows premature birth and low birth weight aren't the only possible side effects of the bacteria found in patients with periodontal disease...Experts in the field of obstetrics and gynecology said this was an isolated case and that most women have enough natural antibodies to keep their baby from gingivitis-related harm, even though once any kind of bacteria get into the bloodstream, they can travel to anywhere in the body... The good news is most cases of periodontal disease can be easily treated with increased brushing and flossing." You can do even more to stop bleeding gums and gingivitis! End Gum ...

Don’t Neglect Your Mouth Or Skimp on Oral Hygiene

November 29, 2009 – 9:52 am
If something works to improve your oral health, do it. Don't skimp on oral health care. If you feel like neglecting that trip to the dentist for a checkup and cleaning, it is to your detriment. Your dental hygienist can clean below the gum line, something you can't do with only your toothbrush and dental floss. Regular dental checkups are very important if you want to keep your teeth, and I am guessing you do. As you grow older and if you have neglected your oral health care, you will begin to pay the price and regret those skipped dental checkups and cleanings as you watch your teeth disappear from your head!

Better than Arestin for Periodontal Disease?

August 16, 2009 – 8:11 am
End Gum Disease Now OraMD is an all-natural solution for gum disease What is Periodontal disease? It is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. It is a very serious disease that can result in tooth loss, even though it is generally painless, so patients might not even know they have it. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, consequences of this disease may include permanent tooth loss and even a higher risk of stroke and heart attack. Untreated gingivitis can eventually become periodontitis, causing the gums to separate from the teeth and form pockets (spaces between the teeth and gums). When the bacterial plaque enters into these pockets, the area becomes infected. Although there isn't much pain associated with gum disease, the consequences of this disease can be just as discomforting, including an unhealthy smile, in which the gums pull back from the teeth, offensive bad breath, gums that ...
