Caring Dental Gum Do not Forget

Written By Bersemangat on Jumat, 01 Juli 2011 | 17.52

Doctors believe, toothache is not a deadly disease. However, just a little careless in the care, unexpected disasters can happen. To maintain healthy teeth, gums do not forget cleanliness.

No we know, billions of bacteria in fact we are always ready to destroy the gums. According to the American Dental Academy, if you feel there are parts of the gums that often bleed or very sensitive, for example gum at the canine teeth, both can be a sign of gum disease.

It is said, about 80 percent of Americans experience one form of gum disorders, ranging from mild inflammation to infection that often recurs (gingivitis). When the degree has been passed, fever disorder will be very close.

Fuss, gum disorders are generally not known when it will come. This is because instead of teeth, gums generally we pay less attention to, before I know it problematic.

"The pain is usually the first indicator of gum problems. However, if the pain was too greatly, the degree of severity is usually high, "said Michael Rethman, president of the American Academy of Periodontology.

Systemic Disease
How did this happen, according to Rethman, because there are bacteria in the mouth that could avoid brushing the teeth every day we do. Bacteria were hiding, hanging on the skin called the sulcus, which is a meeting place for your teeth and gums.

When bacteria that attract the flock so that piling, colorless and sticky plaque was formed. In less than a day, plaque can harden into tartar attached so tightly to the teeth. Only doctors who use sharp tools are able to clean the way mengoreknya.

Toxins produced by bacteria themselves in turn causes inflammation. Before we realize it becomes more and more chronic inflammation, low grade infection called gingivitis already occurred.

If left alone without being treated, gingivitis will progress to periodontitis where the real problems began. At this stage a small layer of skin on the gums where bacteria lodged increasingly attracted away from the teeth and create a gap along the tooth root, so it not only gear, even bones that are the foundation became highly susceptible to infection. In this condition also the position of the teeth to shake or even a date.

Adverse developments were not enough to stop in the mouth. Chronic inflammation triggered by periodontitis is believed to be spread throughout the body that increases the risk of a person to attend a more deadly disease including diabetes, heart attack, and stroke. Before that happens, take care of the gums begin now.

Strategy Beating Bacteria
With oral health conditions that show signs of systemic illness as stated above, maintaining healthy gums become an important strategy. Here are some ways that served Alternative Medicine to maintain healthy gums:

Toothbrush
The first defense for maintaining healthy teeth and gums remain brush dental floss. "I saw 33 years of practice, there is nothing more than a toothbrush and use dental floss to clean. In addition to cheap, also proved beneficial, "said Stanley Dintcho, dentist in San Francisco. However, he added, only 20 percent of us who practice these instructions.

Dintcho recommends brushing at least three times a day, and using yarn cleaners - before toothbrush - at least once a day. Start brushing your teeth on edge near the gum line and brush with the movement from top to bottom or vice versa. Give much attention to the molars and do not forget to brush the palate and the tip of the tongue. Replace toothbrush every two months and be sure to see a dentist every six months.

Fruit and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants tamp the area affected by inflammation as well as neutralize free radicals, molecules produced bad bacteria in the gums and white blood cells that fight infection, low-grade.

In one study, researchers looked at the antioxidant activity in saliva (spit) people. They found, in people with periodontal disease, antioxidant activity of 40 percent below those with healthy gums.

"In the mouth held constant battle between the forces of destruction and healing powers," said Rethman. "Menu food high in antioxidants that help support the new cells that rebuild bone and gum layer." Strive to eat enough fruits and vegetables vary each day.

Vitamin C
Antioxidants derived from vitamin C are worthy of special attention. Antioxidants not only reduce inflammation directly, but also helps the mouth to glue back the gums to the teeth base by encouraging the growth of connective layers.

If you are deficient in vitamin C, collagen will not be able to glue the back gums, capillary vessels in the gums also become brittle, and will facilitate bleeding.

If you feel you are not getting enough vegetables and fruits, vitamin C supplements telahlah at least 400 milligrams per day. The amount is sufficient to protect cells in the gums. Selected types of supplements is more precise than the chewable tablet form. High acid content in vitamin C chewable supplements can erode teeth while you chew.

Calcium Consumption
Other dietary components that could be key when the beauty of your smile while showing off the gum is calcium. Adequate supply of calcium to ensure strong bones that support the teeth stay strong, so it can lower the risk of tooth loss.

Men and women need 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day. If you do not like milk, you can obtain it from supplements. For best absorption, per day swallow 500 milligrams of calcium alone and add 400 or 800 milligrams of vitamin D.

Coenzyme Q10
In the market there may be offering natural products for healthy gums as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). It is true that CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant. Even so, there has been no scientific evidence strongly linking nutrition with the successful treatment or prevention of gum disorders. In addition, the modest amount contained in toothpaste, according Dintcho, is considered sufficient.

So true, enhance endurance throughout the body with CoQ10 can indeed reduce free radicals are released by inflamed gums. When you hit gingivitis, it is okay to swallow 100 mg of CoQ10 per day. However, do not count it as a major defense base your gums.

In order to Mouth Stay Fresh
Gum disease itself is hidden a dangerous disease. However, other mouth disorders can be very painful, physically and socially. Fortunately, there are some natural remedies worth trying to mitigate them. Because besides cheap, too easy to be pursued.
Here are some to try:

Breath Odor
Halitosis, the formal name for bad breath, is a consequence that often accompanies gum disorders. Mouthwash could make a fresh breath back. Various natural herb products probably already available on the market.

Also, try the recipe also offered Sandra Senzon, a dental hygienist in New York City, author of Reversing Gum Disease Naturally, a warm sea salt that will be able to neutralize the acidity of the mouth and simultaneously kill the bacteria. Mix one tablespoon of sea salt into a small glass of warm water. Use the mixture to rinse the mouth three times a day.

Sprue
Not known what causes these painful little sores. There is a suspect, the cause is not-functioning immune system. There is a suspect because of stress. Others have said that because of inadequate nutrition.

Whatever the cause, there are little tricks to try to speed healing. Senzon advised to put lavender on the wound several times a day. Or try anyway propolis, such as rubber latex produced by the bees, to close the wound, as the use of plaster.

For canker sores often recur, buy toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulfate, detergents content on a toothpaste that can make mocous dry membranes in the mouth, thus making more painful canker sores.

Lip Blisters
Blisters on the lips caused by herpes simplex virus and will appear ASAT weakened immune system. One of the topical medication that is both leaf extract which in Latin is called Melisa offcinalis or also known as lemon balm.
