Many people have some form of gum disease, perhaps as many as 80% of people living on this planet.
The mayo clinic states that by age 65 – 95% of people have some form of gum disease.
However, this does not have to be the case. There is nothing wrong with going to get your teeth cleaned every three months.
What you do at home is far more important, however.
The reason why is because the plaque that houses the harmful bacteria builds up every day. Therefore, to effectively stop the progression of gum disease, you must disrupt this plaque every day.
The longer the plaque is left intact, the more of the ‘bad’ or anaerobic bacteria will grow. The more they grow – the more toxic waste products they dump onto your teeth and gums.
These waste products can contribute to both cavities and gum disease.
If brushing and flossing alone were effective then it stands to reason that up to 80% of the population would NOT have some form of gum disease.
Therefore, it also stands to reason that you need more than just brushing, flossing and using a mouth rinse to prevent the progression of this disease to more serious forms.
The anaerobic bacteria that cause these problems do not like oxygen – therefore use an oxygenated mouthwash.
The anaerobic bacteria do like an acidic mouth – as is created by eating acidic foods and not taking steps to adjust your mouth pH afterwards. A pH balanced mouthwash will help with this as will chewing xylitol gum.
There are many additional things you can do to aid your dental health. Your dentist is correct, many much more serious disease have been linked to periodontal disease. Even ancient civilizations recognized that the health of the mouth reflected the health of the body! Most people want to look at a horse’s teeth before buying him…
You can stop the progression of this disease by taking the right actions and by educating yourself about what else you can do besides regular brushing and flossing. At the early stages you can have a very, very good chance of preventing things from progressing to a more advanced stage.
Educate yourself and you can have health gums and teeth for a lifetime!
