Thank You Is Always Nice to Hear…

June 25, 2009 by david

Yesterday, I received a call from a woman in Virginia. She has been reading my information on gum disease. She wanted to thank me for the information she was reading from me via email.

One day her dentist told her she had gum disease. It was a shocker for her. This is the same story that plays itself out over and over and over again not just in this country but around the world.

Gum disease is no joke and if you think you are safe, you need to rethink that assessment. There are indeed some people that appear to be immune to gum disease – They make up a whopping 2% of the population.

What are the chances that you are part of the other 98%?

Here is some commonly accepted beliefs about gum disease that may help to crystallize this point:

1. Statistics vary but you will hear estimates that vary from between 20% at the low end to 80% at the high end of people who are suffering from gum disease right now.

2. The mayo clinic had posted an article to their site that said they expect that 95% of people will have gum disease after age 65.

Now, do NOT think you are safe if you are under 65. You could be 6 years old and have it.

What happens over time is that the damage becomes more evident. That’s why people have a mistaken notion that gum disease is a middle age or old age problem. That is simply not the case at all.

It’s only that gum disease has been amassing its damage – often but not always – slowly, over time. It seems like you ‘suddenly’ realize you have sore, inflamed gums and perhaps receding gums.

But the truth is, this doesn’t usually happen overnight. A person could have been harboring gum disease for many, many years without recognizing it. All that time, the damage is adding up.

But I go to the dentist on a regular basis? – one might protest.

This has been studied and the plain truth of the matter is that dentists often do not inform you about gum disease until it is time for an expensive, potentially painful and time consuming treatment.

Let’s not say anything bad here. I’m not saying all dentists are like this. There are some very good dentists who do pay attention to this issue.

I’m just saying the majority just don’t focus on your gum health. They are more concerned about your teeth and the health of your teeth than your gums. It’s just that they have a different primary focus for their practice.

The truth of the matter is that the number one cause of tooth loss is gum disease. It is NOT cavities or anything else, it is gum disease…

Next: Read more about stopping the progression of gum disease or preventing it in the first place…

– Sincerely,

David Snape

Are You at Risk For Periodontal Disease…

June 1, 2009 by david

You cannot lapse when it comes to your oral health, because gum disease has been tentatively linked to severe health problems. Heart disease, cancer and even dementia are very real worries, it pays to arm yourself with knowledge.

Sub par oral hygiene is not always the real cause of periodontal disease. Lot’s of people brush and floss regularly but still develop this problem. It won’t do to blame yourself.

Yes, it is true that the regular habits we were taught are helpful, but I think it is unwise to rely on brushing and flossing alone. I certainly would not discard them, but on the other hand, it is likely that you are going to need more than just brushing and flossing to protect your dental health.

Yes, You have got to remove dental plaque on a regular basis. Not doing this will allow plaque to build and inevitably form tartar. That will also lead to a buildup of bacteria, which can cause periodontal disease.

Here are just a few of the many risk factors for developing gum disease:

Smoking is a risk factor for this disease. Studies have shown the strong link between tobacco use and many oral illnesses. The smoke is destructive to your body’s tissues and this is true in the mouth as well.

Hormonal changes are a risk factor as well.

Stress can lead to gum disease as well. It is well known to result in a variety of health problems. Gum disease can be added to that list.

Next, follow the links below to learn how to stop gum disease and prevent it from coming back again.

Who Contracts Gum Disease And Why?

May 31, 2009 by david

book1-3[1]Gum Disease is not prejudiced. It can affect people of all ages, races and lifestyles. There are however some factors which will leave a person more vulnerable to this disease.

Obviously, proper dental care and hygiene are factors in whether or not an otherwise healthy person will develop periodontal disease. This is why we are so frequently reminded of the importance of regular brushing, flossing and dental visits. This will reduce the build up of plaque, which contains the bacteria responsible for gingivitis.

[However, this can’t be enough for most people or there would not be such a high incidence of gum disease in the world today! ]

This disease is caused by bacteria, bacteria create infection, and people with lowered immune systems are more susceptible to infection. This may be why people who suffer from illnesses which compromise their immune system such as cancer and AIDS to name a few, are more likely to have gum disease .

Yet, it is really a question of the chicken or the egg? The researchers are finding all of these links but they can not tell if the diseases feed off each other of if one causes the other.

Cigarette smoking is a contributor. It should not come as a surprise that cigarette smoke also promotes the production of plaque on the teeth.

Hormonal changes within the body and also genetics are factors in periodontal disease. This disease is also known to result in lower birth weight babies for pregnant mothers who are suffering with it.

Why – ‘What You Should Know about Gum Disease’ ?

May 19, 2009 by david

bookLast October (2008) I published, “What You Should Know about Gum Disease” because it is something that *almost* everyone on this planet needs. Let me explain: there are actually only about 2% of people on this Earth that have a ‘virtual’ immunity to gum disease. The other 98% of us are prone to problems. I’m in the 98% just like you most likely are.

What is said here is spoken in general.  If you have a specific question about your unique situation be sure to ask your dentist.

The second biggest problem with gum disease is that many of the people that have it, don’t know it. They have NO idea – and maybe YOU have no idea. In fact, problems can go on for years before your dental professional may notice it and tell you about it.

There are a number of reasons this happens. Let us not say anything bad here. We will just say this is how it is for now. It would be great if there was a much larger focus on preventing the problem in the first place. This is another reason What You Should Know about Gum Disease is in existence.

What typically happens is that a person goes along their merry way thinking everything is ok. Then one day: BAM! You get hit with the rude announcement that you have gum disease and you need a Scaling and Root Planing treatment done right away – OR YOU COULD LOSE YOUR TEETH.

Think about what it feels like to be on the receiving end of that. Wow! You panic, you shiver, you say YES to the treatment because you are scared out of your mind.

But…. Hold on a second. This DID NOT happen over night. How come no one told you about this before? Think this situation is uncommon? Not in the least. It happens. In fact, it happened to me. I didn’t like the options I was given.

I went home, I researched and I realized that there was something VERY wrong with this model of doing things.

I found solutions…

I implemented the solutions I found…

I GOT RESULTS

When I went back to that same dentist’s office – where I turned down the SRP treatment – THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED!

I could see the look on their faces, it fun to watch. They said, “Whatever you are doing, keep it up.” “You don’t need that treatment anymore”.

Want to know what they didn’t do? They never asked me what I was doing so that they could tell the other patients. Does that make you wonder?

I mean, here is this big problem that people have, this guy apparently found some answers – BUT THEY NEVER ASKED ME WHAT I DID?

HMMMM? Let us not say anything bad here…

If you can read between the lines, you will understand that this is another reason I wrote the book for you.

Perio Therapy For Gum Health….

May 16, 2009 by david

Perio-therapyDr. Katz has created a wonderful brand of products called Perio Therapy. I have written about these products in my book: What You Should Know about Gum Disease, ISBN: 978-0981485508.

There are a number of reasons why this is a good set of products. The mouthwash is pH balanced. This is helpful for a number of different reasons. First of all, it is protective of your dental enamel. Low pH mouthwashes can chemically harm your tooth enamel.

Another reason why pH balance is important for a mouthwash is because the bacteria that cause gum disease also like a more acidic environment. By rinsing with a nice pH balanced mouthwash, you are doing yourself a favor there and you are doing even more towards inhibiting the anaerobes that are responsible for causing gum disease.

In addition, the mouthwash itself contains oxygenated compounds – the anaerobes (anaerobic bacteria) do not like oxygen, that is why they are called anaerobes (they ‘shun’ oxygen). This boost of oxygen can aid in keeping the population down to a minimum.

The benefits do not stop there. The Perio Therapy products also contain zinc which is believed to support the health of gum tissue. This mouthwash also contains tea tree oil – believed to have anti-bacterial properties as well as essential oil of spearmint which is also believed to have anti-bacterial capabilities.

All-in-all if you have gum disease, these Perio Therapy products are likely to help you. This is why I like them. Next: Click Here to Check out Perio Therapy Products and learn more about them for yourself.

 

And here are some excellent coupons you can use on these products.

Gum Disease: Make Your Gums Healthy Again…

May 14, 2009 by david

There is one thing you really need to know about fighting gum disease: One size does not fit all. The human body is unique to each person. As you may know, in medicine, there is never a single treatment that works 100% of the time. People are different and different treatments or different combinations of treatment work for different people.

Some things that are helpful are oral irrigation, essential oils, herbal remedies, brushing gently (not hard) and using dental tape over regular dental floss. Unfortunately, the myth exists that mere brushing and flossing will prevent gum disease. That may be true in a few cases for some very unique individuals, but it is not true for the majority.

Most people, according to statistics, either have now, or will have some form of this disease in their lifetime. To be proactive or to defeat an existing case of gum disease requires more than a basic understanding. It is crucial to learn what you can about this disease because so many people contract it and it can, in the worst case scenarios, cause your teeth to fall out.

You do not want this to happen to you. You also do not want to get to the point where your options become limited. That is when you have lost so much gum tissue and your teeth are so loose that only surgery may help. Then too, you may find the results limited.

The goal is to keep your natural teeth and avoid implants and dentures. When you go down the path of dentures or implants, you could lose bone mass in your jaw as well. Be aware of these things. Few dentists have time to educate their patients properly. Next: Follow the links below to learn what you can do to stop gum disease and prevent it from coming back!

April 30, 2009 by david

Not sure how this one slipped past my radar until now, but it happens sometimes. I always try to tell you about the good deals out there.

There is a sale right now, buy 2 get one free. Here are the products that are on sale:

–> https://tinyurl.com/cka9c8

You can get some good deals now, but the sale is ending soon.

Specifically for gum disease, look for anything labeled Perio Therapy –

These are the gum disease fighting mouthwashes and toothpastes.

What is special about them?

They have pecially formulated oxygenated compounds.

If you have read my book, then you already know about the Perio Therapy formulas.

If not – The bacteria responsible for gum disease are anaerobic in nature. Oxygen kills them.

There are very few mouthwashes on the market that have oxygenated compounds in them. Perio Therapy is one of them.

Perio Therapy formulas also contain other powerful ingredients such as zinc and pyrophosphates – pyrophosphates are for stopping / reducing plaque build up.

And you’ll be happy to know that Therabreath sells my book as well. (though it is not part of the special)

Check out the Perio Therapy and other products on special at:

Your Dental Health IS Important…

February 10, 2009 by david

Preserving your dental health can save you from experiencing pain and spending excessive amounts of money at the dentist’s office. 

Why do people have so many problems with their teeth and gums?  What if it isn’t your fault?

Check the statement(s) that best describe you.

Then click the button below to find out how you can improve your dental health and avoid, reduce or prevent painful and costly dental expenses in the future.

I have had a cavity filled

I have had MANY cavities filled throughout my life

I have had a tooth that chipped or broke for no explainable reason

I have had a crown or multiple crowns placed

I have been to  two or more dentists who told me completely different things were wrong with my teeth or gums

I feel that my dentist makes entirely too much money from me and others. 

I have wondered if I really need all the dental work my dentist has prescribed

I am suspicious of my dentist

My dental health is out of control and I do not know what to do about it.

My gums have bled or still bleed when brushing or flossing

I am experiencing receding gums

My breath stinks and I cannot seem to control it.

I have been diagnosed with gum disease, gingivitis or periodontal disease currently or in the past

I have had or have been told that I must have a Scaling and Root Planing (SRP or Deep Cleaning) right away…

 

It is truly amazing when you think about it,  isn’t it?  Everyone knows of at least one other person who suffers problems with their teeth and gums.  Should it really be this way. 

Wasn’t the human body designed to last a lifetime?  Why should our gums bleed and out teeth break or need fillings?
What is going on here.  Is this normal? 

A growing body of people and even professionals don’t think so.   They understand that something is out of balance. But what is that something?   

What if there were steps you could take at home to improve your dental health, the health of your gum tissue and your teeth?  Would it be worth finding out about?  You bet it would. 

I have had many dentists in my life and I have discovered that some (not all) seem to be concerned more about their pocket books than the prevention of problems in my mouth.  I have been told that I needed all kinds of treatments, only to find out that was not true at all.  It’s truly disturbing.

Are you concerned about your dental health the way that I am?  Click the button below to learn  more…

Sincerely,

David Snape
