Gum disease is an inflammation, clearly capable of causing disease in other parts of the body. The chain of events is likely to have been brought about by continued poor nutritional habits as well as poor oral health. This in turn brings about an increase in the quantity of enzymes, bacteria and germs that trigger the conditions for gum disease to flourish.
What is Plaque? Plaque is that white, sticky substance that forms on the enamel of the teeth, between them and in the area between the teeth and gums, called the sulcus. Plaque isessentially seen as the main cause of gum disease.
Look into any mirror as you run a fingernail along the base line of your teeth. You’ll see a white deposit. This is undoubtedly plaque. Plaque is a complex mix of different types of bacteria, protein strands, fluids and cells. So long as plaque is ‘healthy’ it will indeed protect the underlying teeth and keep away damaging bacteria.
Doctor. Ellie Phillips in her book ‘Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye ‘ describes healthy plaque as a kind of comforter that protects and covers teeth. If bad bacteria attack this comforter the whole equation changes and the comforter is no longer protective and instead becomes a source of risk and damage. Plaque can be a healthy layer on the surface of your teeth that only becomes unhealthy if and when your mouth becomes acidic. Bacterial toxins and enzymes in the plaque attack the healthy teeth and gums causing inflammation and infection.
The reason for gum disease is harmful bacteria in the plaque.This harmful bacteria harboured in the plaque turn sugars into acid. Normally this acid is weak and won’t seriously affect your tooth enamel or gums. Yet, under plaque, these acids aren’t eliminated by saliva and can consequently take on a new intensity. One kind of bacteria will eventually cause the gum to swell and bleed, create pockets as the gums loosen and pull away from the tooth. Another sort of bacteria will dissolve enamel and cause tooth decay. Removing the unhealthy plaque with the Phillips Blotting Technique, an exceptionally good plaque removal technique will get rid of the acid-forming bacteria. In a plaque-free mouth, even sweet foods are less destructive to the teeth. Eating healthy food is one step towards keeping your mouth alkaline and therefore helps to keep plaque healthy and encourage production of good saliva which in turn cleans the mouth.Taking good care of the body or a more holistic approach to taking care of yourself is a major factor in the prevention of disease. Traditional health practices found this out this approach centuries ago.
Your own saliva is the most highly effective mouthwash on this planet!
What is Calculus? Calculus, or tartar, is a tough coating that forms mainly on the inside of your lower front teeth and the outside of your upper molars. As it attaches to your teeth, the fastest way to eliminate calculus is to visit a dental hygienist. Though persistent use of the Blotting Brush is extremely effective it may take a little longer. You develop calculus if your body chemistry is out of harmony and is more acidic than it should be.
Tooth loss and gum disease is linked with all causes of mortality. Gum disease is a ‘co-morbidity that increases the burden of systemic inflammatory conditions and may increase likelihood of Cardiovascular Disease. In their book ‘Toxic Dentistry Exposed ‘, Dr’s Graeme and Lillian Munro Hall write: „If the pH of the body is more acidic than it should be, the key pH regulator mechanism removes calcium phosphate from the bones and uses the phosphate to regulate the blood pH. The calcium part is a waste product and is dumped; some of it around the necks of the teeth. The removal of calcium phosphate from your bones weakens them. Deprived of calcium, the bones are susceptible to developing osteoporosis, a disease of civilisation. Osteoporosis isn’t found in ‘primitive’ societies“.
From a family of Clydeside Scots, Graeme was born and brought up in Hong Kong. He lived for 35 years there, as well as in Borneo and Indonesia. Intrigued by the way in which the different Asian cultures approach their health and wellbeing, he studied aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine and became familiar with many other time-honoured healing methods, from the traditional Jamu herbal medicine healers of Java to the body balancing mechanisms of Jin Shin Jyutsu, from Japan. Together with his wife Phylipa, Graeme now runs Resources For Life a natural health business in Chichester, West Sussex and ToothWizards, an oral health initiative to help people achieve a degree of self-sufficiency in dental health.
