Gum Disease, Learn how to Cure It!
"More than 75 percent of Americans over 35 have some form of gum disease."
This page will teach you the theory of the cause of gum disease and how to prevent it for life. Further you will learn stadegies from readers of Cure Tooth Decay who cured their bleeding gums and receding gums naturally!
Gum disease is the degeneration of the periodontal ligament that connects the tooth to the socket. It is also the deterioration of the tissues around the mouth leaving the gums swollen, inflamed, and roots of the teeth overly exposed.
Symptoms of Gum Disease
- swollen gums, also known as gingivitis
- bleeding gums
- loose teeth
- receding gums
- increase size in gum pockets
- death of gum tissue
- tooth loss
Conventional Gum Disease Theory (Not Accurate)
"Periodontal gum disease is caused by a bacterial infection that can irreversibly damage your teeth if left untreated."
According to my research bacteria does not cause tooth decay, and it cannot be the cause of gum disease. At best, bacteria eats the decaying gum tissue in your mouth. The theory that bacteria causes gum disease leaves you powerless to stop it.
Do Dental Cleanings Prevent Gum Disease?
Flossing, brushing, and tooth plaque removal are suggested methods for preventing gum disease. If these methods worked, it is questionable why 75% of the U.S. population over 35 would have gum disease. Either most of us do not brush, floss, or have teeth cleanings, or, cleaning the teeth does little to nothing to prevent gum disease. However dental hygiene cleanings can help with certain forms of gum disease.
Indigenous groups retain healthy gums without cleaning.
"Many primitive peoples not only retain all of their teeth, many of them to an old age, but also have a healthy flesh supporting these teeth. This has occurred in spite of the fact that the primitives have not had dentists to remove the deposits and no means for doing so for themselves." - Weston Price
What this means is that plaque cannot be the cause of gum disease. Rather plaque happens in the body when the bodies internal chemistry, the pH balance, is out of sync. This happens due to a faulty diet, excess sugar, and environmental toxins.
How To Treat Gum Disease Naturally Part 1
This is a summary submitted by Johanna N.
"I wrote you a long time ago with question about gums, and gingivitis. I have been on a long quest to heal them, and I follow a very strict diet of traditional foods, and still suffered from swollen bleeding receding gums. After using my mouth as an experiment, trying everything out there, I can finally say that my gums are healed. I would like to share what I have tried and what finally worked, since you are compiler of this info. Your suggestions on your site and book for gums helped, but I have added a few extra things that eventually worked."
In addition to following a traditional diet as described in my book Johanna found successful natural gum treatments. Here is what actually worked.
Gum Disease Treatments That Work
"1. Camu Camu: I take 2 teaspoons of camu camu a day, and have muscle tested that this is the main reaon for my gums being healed. It is a natural vitamin C powder, AND has bioflavaniods. I have read that a worn immune system is the main reason for poor gum health. It really all comes down to dietary reasons. My gums were red and swollen, and so were my daughters. After taking this and giving it to her everyday in raw yogurt, I see an amazing difference. I cant remember the last time I saw healthy light pink gums, and no more bleeding! My daughters gums are beautiful too!."
I would would not use synthetic vitamin C, but I think acreola berry powder, which is very high in vitamin C probably would work as well. Also raw milk has vitamin C like properties Johanna said she drank it but it didn't help the gum problem. Let's continue...
"2. Ioxan mouthwash formulated from Edgar Cayce - see baar.com. It is amazing and I still use it. I feel such a difference in my gums fom this alone. "
3. I floss daily with floss from local health food store.
4. Uncleharrys.com tooth powder: I love this stuff. My teeth feel clean after brushing, and look whiter.
5. Dr Christophers tooth powder from herbsfirst.com: This is a great combination of herbs that is almost all of the suggested herbs from your site. I leave this on my gums sometimes, and brush with it too, and it is great. I alternate beteen this and uncleharrys tooth powder."
I also have a recipe for Dr. Christopher's tooth powder in Cure Tooth Decay that is very potent.
Another person wrote that the OraMD has helped periondontal problems.
Treatments That Did Not Help or Were Detrimental for Gum Disease
Uncleharrys miracle mouthwash: Great ingredients, but it made my gums feel worse. I may be allergic to something in it. I don't use it anymore.
Tooth soap brand: Made my mouth feel worse. The company was great at refunding my money. (editor's note: it may have been the essential oil used inflamed the gum condition)
Toothpastes, or xylitol.
I tried a waterpik and only noticed a small difference, so I quit using it. I also decided that if my toddler couldn't use it, I wouldn't either.
Conclusions
Pyorrhea is an advanced stage of gum disease in which ligaments and bones that support the teeth become inflamed and infected. It is partially a result of the process whereby important nutrients are borrowed from the gums and transported to other parts of the body (such as the vital organs). Dr. Price explained:
Pyorrhea in the light of our newer knowledge is largely a nutritional problem
Johanna was eating a whole food diet, but her diet stilled lack important nutrients. Indigneous groups like the Eskimo, ate large quantities of food high in vitamin C, in their case, whale blubber. By restoring missing nutrients to her body, and by using topical herbal treatments which clean, nourish and build the gums, she was able to have success in curing her gum disease.
