See book keywords and concepts |  An early stage of periodontal disease, gingivitis is a condition that involves an inflammation of the gums. Deposits of food particles, mucus, and bacteria often cause an accumulation of plaque. gingivitis is the accumulation of plaque around the teeth that causes the gum tissue to become swollen, red, and infected. The gums often bleed. Aside from poor dental maintenance and care, a poor diet, poorly fitted fillings that irritate the gums, and frequent breathing through the mouth can also aggravate or cause gingivitis.
If gingivitis goes untreated, it can develop into periodontitis. |
Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews
See book keywords and concepts |  In most cases, gingivitis results from poor dental hygiene practices; proper daily brushing and flossing and regular dental cleanings greatly decrease the chances of developing gingivitis. When gingivitis progresses untreated, periodontal disease can develop.
In periodontal disease, plaque-filled pockets form between the teeth and gums. The gums become inflamed, enlarging these pockets and trapping even more plaque. Over time, the gums detach from the teeth, pus forms as a result of the infection, and the affected tooth loosens and may even fall out. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Other bacteria, specific to gingivitis, are also inhibited by green tea. Like conventional treatments for gum disease, green tea is most effective at the earliest stage of development, and is probably ineffective if gingivitis progresses to the serious condition of periodontal disease.12
THE EFFECT OF GREEN TEA ON BAD BREATH
Plaque not only causes tooth decay and gum disease but is also the primary cause of bad breath. The odor of bad breath, or halitosis as it is technically called, comes from a combination of bacteria, decomposing food, and decomposing tissue. |
Marshall Editions
See book keywords and concepts |  Some drugs cause a condition known as hyperplasia of the gums, the symptoms of which are very similar to gingivitis. The most common of these drugs are phenytoin, an antiseizure medication, and nifedipine, which is a blood pressure medication. If you suspect any of these causes, see your doctor.
Dental treatment: Regular teeth cleaning together with professional plaque removal are essential. X-rays are usually taken to make sure the disease is not affecting the bones. Changing your toothbrush every three months is also important as worn brushes do not remove plaque well. | | Gums feel tender and sore

¥Prevention: gingivitis can occur mildly or as a more severe ulcerative form, known as trench mouth. It occurs more commonly with the hormonal shifts associated with conditions such as pregnancy. It is also associated with excessive use of alcohol and tobacco, a poor dental hygiene routine, and ill-T fitting dentures. Treatment involves prevention by looking at and addressing any one of these situations. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It can be used in mouthwashes to treat canker sores, gingivitis, or pyorrhea.
The leaves are the only plant part considered edible, but they are rarely used as a food, as they are prickly and bitter. Echinacea has an aromatic, earthy flavor when prepared as a tea.
Other Uses
Echinacea was used in Native American sweat lodges to help the participants endure extreme temperature; its effectiveness could perhaps be attributed to its cooling properties. | | It can be used as a gargle to relieve sore throat, as a mouthwash to treat gingivitis, as a poultice to alleviate toothache, and as an eyewash to get rid of conjunctivitis and sties. It can even be used as a douche or enema to reduce inflammation or get rid of infection.
Edible Uses
Chamomile flowers are edible raw or cooked. They are often ingredients in various liqueurs such as vermouth and Benedictine.
Other Uses
Chamomile has a wonderful scent; it was used as a strewing herb in medieval Europe and is used even today as an incense and to flavor pipe tobaccos. | | It can be used as a mouthwash or gargle to eliminate gingivitis, pyorrhea, sores, or soreness in the throat. It also can be used as a douche to treat cervical ulceration, leukorrhea, or vaginitis.
Edible Uses
The young shoots (less than 10 inches in height) can be prepared like asparagus. (If consumed when more mature, however, they will have strong cathartic properties.)
Other Uses
Baptisia is well known for its use in dyeing. | | The essential oil is often added to toothpastes and mouthwashes for its ability to combat bacteria, freshen breath, and prevent gingivitis.
As a flower essence, peppermint helps users to overcome lethargy and mental dullness by promoting clear and quick thinking. It helps users to see a future in which their desires are achieved. It can be helpful for those who have an excessive fear of losing their health, material goods, or loved ones.
Although both are edible, spearmint is a better choice than peppermint for culinary arts, because it is slightly less cooling and less medicinal tasting. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The periodontal disease process typically progresses from gingivitis to periodontitis.
Signs and Symptoms
Gingivitis is characterized by redness, contour changes, and bleeding of the gums. Periodontitis is characterized by localized pain, loose teeth, dental pockets, redness, swelling, and/or signs of infection. X-rays may reveal destruction of bone in the case of periodontitis. |
Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan
See book keywords and concepts | | Inflamed gums can also signal the bacterial infection Vincent's stomatitis or necrotizing gingivitis (aka trench mouth). In severe cases they can damage oral bone and gum tissue.
A BUMP OR HOLE ON THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH
If you feel—or more specifically your tongue feels—a bump or lump on the roof of your mouth, don't overreact. These protrusions are most likely signs of palatal (torus palatinus), bone growths on the roof of your mouth. Believe it or not, these are benign protuberances, often caused by nothing more serious than eating hard foods that irritate the palate. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The increased prevalence of dental problems, including periodontitis (bacterial destruction of the bone and tissue supporting the teeth), abscesses, gingivitis (inflamed gums), dry mouth, and soft tissue lesions, among people with prediabetes or diabetes is associated with oxidative stress, glycation-induced damage, and increased risk of infection in gum tissue. Glycotoxins damage blood vessels, collagen, and other tissues and thus compromise the health of the gums and teeth. |

No health hazards or side effects are known in conjunction with the proper administration of designated therapeutic dosages. Large internal doses could lead to indigestion or constipation. | | A hypersensitivity reaction known as plasma cell gingivitis may occur with the herb, and may cause severe gingival inflammation, discomfort, and bleeding (Serio, 1991). One study suggests the allergy is rarely an autonomous sensitization, but rather a consequence of pollen allergy on the basis of immunologic cross-reactivity (Ebner, 1998).

See book keywords and concepts |  For this reason, sage has been found to be beneficial for fighting such inflammatory conditions as gingivitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
In animal research, sage was found to be antihypertensive (it lowers blood pressure). And in one study—yet to be confirmed in humans—it had an antidiabetic effect. Recent research has confirmed something that herbalists have long known: Sage works as a memory enhancer.
It's also used for combating indigestion, excessive perspiration, and sore throats. And if that weren't enough, it's also been found to be helpful with menopausal night sweats. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Levels of CRP rise substantially when there's inflammation or acute or chronic infection, with things like gingivitis, prostatitis, or vaginal infections. It's also an important predictor of cardiovascular risk because you're more prone to plaque rupture and clotting. A primitive immune system that's more like a shark's than a sophisticated one like a mammal's, CRP doesn't pinpoint exactly where inflammation is, but it does indicate whether inflammation or some type of infection is present. | | They help with ailments ranging from too much gas to irritable bowel syndrome to a weakened immune system that tolerates gingivitis. Lactobacilli, for example, have been used in the food industry for many years because they are able to convert sugars (including lactose) and other carbohydrates into lactic acid. This not only provides the characteristic sour taste of fermented dairy foods such as yogurt but acts as a preservative by lowering the food's pH and creating fewer opportunities for spoilage organisms to grow. |
