Don’t Be Afraid, Gingivitis is Reversible…
Relax, there is good news if you have this. Gingivitis is the reversible form of gum disease. If found early enough it will not progress to the advanced stages of periodontal disease. If you only have this mild form of the disease, you should be able to reverse it and prevent tissue loss.
How did you get it? There are many forms of bacteria in our mouth. When you think about it, you may realize that the mouth is one of the dirtiest parts of your body. You could never fully get rid of these bacteria.
First, when you try to wipe them out, you never get all of them. Second, you are always eating or drinking – every day. Therefore, new bacteria can enter your mouth relatively easily.
The key point is that not all of the bacteria in your mouth are ‘bad’. There are only certain species of bacteria that will cause problems like gum disease or bad breath. In fact, I think researchers are still uncovering which strains of bacteria are a problem and which are not.
There are several strains that can cause gingivitis. This is what typically may happen. You build up plaque daily. Plaque is a sticky, living material that forms as a combination of things such as bacteria, saliva, very small food substances, etc.
Some items that may help:
1.An ozone generator can be a powerful tool for dental health that may help you to stop gingivitis before it gets a chance to take hold. You can simply ozonate wate and use it as a mouthwash.
2. Therabreath may help with special mouthwash that was designed for fighting gum disease.
Another item that might be useful is the essential oil blend called oramd.
Once the plaque forms it develops a nice place for the ‘bad’ bacteria to live, grow and reproduce. When the plaque grows it creates a barrier against oxygen, something this type of bacteria doesn’t like. They then secrete toxins that harm your teeth and gums.
