24.04.2012

Nowadays, about 80 to 90 percent of the current population has acquired some form of gum disease. Some of them may already be experiencing pain wherein the disease is already in the advanced stage. This condition is known as periodontal disease or commonly called gum disease. Depending on the severity of the disease, this can be classified as mild or gingivitis, or the serious case called periodontitis. The bacterial infection can be low grade where the soft tissues of the gums, ligaments, and bone that support your teeth are inflamed or can be considered very serious when the supporting bones and tissues that hold the teeth in place are destroyed. Bacteria present in the mouth can multiply fast and form tartar, producing toxins which can provoke the body’s immune system. Periodontal disease can then freely destroy the structure that supports the teeth leading to tooth loss.

You will readily know once you have periodontal disease if your gums start to bleed even with gentle brushing. When our gums turn reddish and discolored in appearance, become tender, and bleeding is experienced, this will mean that you should schedule an appointment with your dentist at once. Bleeding is a sign of a serious case thus your dental professional is the only one qualified to suggest ways to overcome the problem. He will assess the situation in a professional manner and will know if the gum problem can still be prevented from spreading while treatment is recommended.

Nowadays, there are several herbal treatments for gums that can help bring back your oral health to its normal state. Oriental medicine like Chinese herbs can be incorporated with modern and advanced techniques in science in order to prevent disease before it occurs. A regime of gum packs used nightly can be used to heal the gums especially those made from herbs rolled in gauze. These gum packs consists of a combination of aloe, turmeric, powdered alum, willow bark, and vitamin E which can be tucked into the corners of the mouth for periodontitis treatment.

People can also use tooth brushes made from healing plants and twigs which are considered the traditional and natural way of cleaning the teeth. These disposable brushes work well as they provide a natural and healing bristle with the use of healing herbs. People in Asia use the twigs of the neem tree for this purpose which contain volatile oils stimulating blood circulation, and tannins which cleanse the gums and tighten them. The classic combination which is Ayurvedic comprises one part salt powder, an astringent, and two parts potassium alum in powdered form.

Natural herbal therapies work well especially if you have sensitive teeth or gums. These home remedies can easily be found online, and these were proven effective in restoring the teeth for the promotion of oral health.
