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 become infected and bleed and teeth that become loose, possibly fall out, or have to be removed.

An effective drug used to treat periodontal disease is Arestin, minocycline hydrochloride, in the form of microspheres. A small amount of this powder is placed inside infected periodontal pockets just after the dental professional finishes the scaling and root planing (SRP) procedure.

I have found that using an all natural product called OraMD may be just as effective as an expensive Arestin treatment. For me, giving up conventional toothpaste and mouthwash and using only the natural oils of spearmint, peppermint and almond, the only ingredients in OraMD, have helped me control the chronic infection of gum disease better than anything I have tried. I use this product along with regular dental checkups and cleanings.
