You Could Be Suffering From Gingivitis If You Have Bleeding Gums
If you find blood on your toothbrush, even when brushing your teeth gently, you could be suffering from gingivitis. This is an inflammation of the gums caused by bacterial growth. It is found between the gaps in the gums and the teeth and on the teeth themselves. Additional symptoms of gingivitis may include but are not exclusive to a bright red or shiny appearance of the gums, gums that are tender when touched, swollen gums which are abnormally enlarged, mouth sores and bad breath or halitosis. Gingivitis is a periodontal (gum) disease that is very varied, and the etiology has been separated into both local and systemic causes which involve inflammation and or infection. This infection is able to destroy the supporting tissue of the teeth if it is left unattended. Resulting bad breath from the inflammation is able to cause loss of self-esteem, and in severe cases even social isolation. There is growing evidence from medical research that gum diseases such as gingivitis may make people more prone to general inflammations of the body, heart disease, osteoporosis, pancreatic cancer, stroke and arteriosclerosis. The bacterial plaque and calculus (tartar); plaque accumulates in the gaps between the gum and teeth and tartar actually forms on the teeth and the only way to treat this problem is by dental debridement. This means apart from a normal brushing routine, you seek the professional assistance of a dental hygienist or dentist to remove the plaque and tartar by scaling and root planing. Even though the accumulations of these bacteria may be very small it could still produce toxins which cause gum inflammation. Over years the build up of this infection has the affect of causing deep fissures between the teeth and gingiva, affecting the ligaments, bone and gum tissue which hold the tooth in place. This loss of supporting tissue can cause the tooth to become loose, in which case it may fall out on its own or require extraction. Professional dental cleaning is suggested traditionally, for every 6 months. However in the case of recurring gingivitis inflammation it may be recommended for every 3 - 4 months, as it takes plaque approximately 3 months to grow back again. Author: Scott W.

Rejuv For Gums 1 oz: HF $14.39 REJUV™ for gums is perhaps the most powerful nourishing formula for gums available anywhere. A time-tested remedy of 24 plants and herbs used for healing and strengthening the gums, it is recommended for a whole range of oral conditions from receding gums, oral pain, swollen gums, swelling of gums and bleeding gums, to dry mouth. This unique, 'complete' product is unlike other products which can only target one oral problem. Some people have even said that it helped tighten loose teeth - REJUV™ can be used for all gingival conditions. REJUV™ for gums is the ONLY 100% herbal oral pain reliever and gum conditioner. Some of its plants and botanicals - like cassia and ficus bengalensis - have an astringent quality, said to be most useful for healing gum tissue. And research indicates that the sesame oil base (which soothes and nourishes, helps the herbs revitalize the gums and alleviate dry mouth conditions) has antimicrobial affects on subgingival plaque. In doing its healing, REJUV™ for gums also removes bacteria from the oral cavity, leaving the mouth fresh and revitalized. Made without chemical ingredients or alcohol, it allows nature’s full intelligence to help heal your gums and keep your mouth as healthy as ever. For best results apply REJUV™ for gums with DrTung’s gumbrush, designed for sensitive and receding gums. (Did you know that among Americans aged 35 to 44, 48 percent have gingivitis - or inflammation of the gums - and 22 percent have destructive gum disease? Older people have even more gum problems! ref: Surgeon General’s Report: Oral Health 2000) |
