Gum Disease and Inflammation
Inflammation of the gums, bleeding gums and increased sensitivity of the gums and teeth are symptoms that may alert you to gingivitis and/or other oral diseases that indicate a need to seek professional help.
I have found CoQ10 to be very helpful with gum disease and inflammation. CoQ10 quality may vary from brand to brand and so I do not have a suggestion as to how much to take. I suggest Muscle testing or kinesiology testing to allow your body to choose how much it might need. If you can not find someone to do this follow the directions on the bottle.
In addition, many people find that rinsing the mouth with one capful of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide diluted in a little water after brushing will help. Try to hold it in your mouth for one minute, swishing it several times. (It will foam, so be prepared for that.) Then spit it out. Don't rinse the residue from you mouth. I suggest you do this routine in the evening before you go to bed.
Once the gum disease is down, do once a week for maintenance.
Also soak your toothbrush in a small cup of Hydrogen
Peroxide between use to clean the toothbrush. Change the Hydrogen
Peroxide every few days.
Make sure to put the cap back on the H2O2 tightly.
A recent survey by the American Dental Association (ADA) showed that almost one in three adults clean their teeth using dental floss or interdental cleaners (brushes, picks or sticks to help clean between the teeth) once a day, and another 12 percent use these products twice or more daily.
About a quarter of adults reported that they floss or use interdental cleaners once a week or less, while 7 percent said they never use these products. Women (50 percent) are more likely than men (37 percent) to report cleaning their teeth with floss or interdental cleaners at least once a day.
Why is cleaning between your teeth so important? By flossing or using an interdental cleaner, you are removing decay causing plaque - the sticky film of bacteria that coats your teeth. While toothbrushing removes plaque from tooth surfaces, it can't do the entire job of removing plaque from between the teeth and under the gum line. Tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease often start in these areas, so it is very important to clean them thoroughly to prevent cavities and serious gum problems.
A sign at my dentist says, “ You do not have to floss your teeth, Only do the ones you want to keep!” Most things are a habit. Start your Children doing this early and hopefully make this a life long habit. Us older ones, It is a good way to keep your teeth. And flossing helps remove the bacteria that causes decay so that we can keep the ones we have.
