I Found An Answer To My Chronic Gum Disease
January 19, 2009 – 4:59 pmI 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 deepening. Basically, I want to keep my teeth and avoid expensive implants or dentures. But what was the answer? The dentist suggested injections in my gums of a special antibiotic that lingers in the tissues that would halt the infection for a couple of weeks. This didn’t sound appealing to me. The shots are expensive, painful and would need to be re-administered each month for the rest of my life. This, to me, was out of the question. Who would want to go through that expensive and painful process every month? And there is no guarantee it would work to save my teeth.
I searched for an answer, wondering if there was a more natural way to fight gum disease, something I could do at home to enhance my normal oral hygiene and give me a fighting chance against this oral disease. And I eventually came across a product called OraMD. It sounded good to me. It is an all natural product made from very concentrated oils of spearmint, peppermint and almonds. The company that makes this product claims that it would kill the bacteria in my mouth, enter and linger in the pockets that formed around my teeth to heal the infection, and they offer a money back guarantee. At this point my desperation drove me to try it.
I vowed to follow the program suggested by the maker of this product. It is nothing complicated, just a bit scary at first. Why is it scary? They suggest giving up toothpaste! No more brushing your teeth with toothpaste. You brush your teeth with OraMD. It sounded weird to me. And on top of that they recommend not using mouthwash anymore! You freshen your breath with a few drops of OraMD. I was willing to try anything because nothing else was saving my teeth.
You might wonder why the OraMD people, Trusted Health Products, ask you to give up toothpaste and mouthwash. Toothpaste contains Sodium lauryl Sulfate and they claim that this chemical can damage the tissue in your mouth and interfere with saliva production. The problem with mouthwash is that most contain alcohol which can also damage the tissue in your mouth. And I just read online that some scientists are now linking mouthwash with oral cancer, but this is not proven.
After months of using OraMD I went for my regular dental checkup and cleaning. The verdict of the doctor and dental hygienist was that my mouth looked great. They said to keep doing what I am doing. The chronic periodontal condition was not worsening and was not causing further bone loss. This was good news to me. I found an answer to my problem that works for me. I will continue to go to my dentist for three to four cleanings a year and to keep a check on my oral health while I continue to use OraMD instead of toothpaste and mouthwash.
