Department of Health and Human Services concluded that only 5 percent of dentists' time is spent in attempting to treat gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) and yet the majority of all teeth that are pulled (or fall out) are lost due totally to gum disease! This has not changed since then but has actually become worse. A study conducted by dental authorities in North Carolina states that: gum disease in America is "rampant." And it continues to escalate at epidemic proportions.

Studies also show that smoking increases the chances of developing gum disease, a contributing factor in poor glycemic control. In fact, smokers are five times more likely than nonsmokers to have gum disease. For smokers with diabetes, the risk is even greater. If you are a smoker with diabetes, age 45 or older, you are twenty times more likely than a person without these risk factors to get severe gum disease.82 Diabetes as an Accelerated Aging Reality Often diabetes doesn't get diagnosed until its complications begin to arise.

The Green Tea Book

Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews

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.

The good news is that with early treatment, gum disease is reversible. Healthy gums are pink or coral.They should also be firm and resilient when poked. And, of course, there should be no bleeding or pain. WARNING SIGN Gum disease (periodontitis) puts a person at increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Swollen gums can be a telltale sign that you're a smoker or that you've been clenching or grinding your teeth. They can also be a reaction to certain drugs, such as oral contraceptives, antidepressants, and some heart medicines.

The diagnosis of the gum disease and its predictable solution is based on over 30 years of study, research, and private practice, of Dr. Robert O. Nara. Dr. Nara is the founder of Oramedics International, the world's only group dedicated to helping people avoid tooth and gum disease rather than treating the results of the disease process with needles, knives, drugs, drilling, pulling and false teeth! Dr. Nara's solution is simple and effective, and it makes sense. He says that American forefathers used brine to preserve their food and kill bacteria.
Most people believe that gum disease is caused by plaque. Research studies by Socransky at Forsyth Dental School in Boston, and by Loesche at the University of Michigan showed that the plaque theory does not hold. The presence of up to five different types of destructive bacteria in gum diseases actually shows that plaque and tartar are not primary causal factors, but effects. Healthy gums attract only good bacteria, such as gram-positive faculative rods and cocci—predominately Actinomyces species and streptococci.
For situations of advanced gum disease, however, Dr. Nara recommends you also use Sanguinaria, an herbal extract, which has been used as a mouth rinse for centuries by native cultures. Gum disease indicates the presence of large amounts of toxins in the body, especially in the alimentary canal which begins in the mouth and ends in the anus. In addition to the above rinsing procedures, it is also important to address the underlying causes, that is, poor diet, dehydration, irregular lifestyle, congested liver and intestinal tract, and emotional stress.

Many studies have revealed a link between gum disease, cavities, and/or tooth loss and the incidence of cardiovascular disease and multiple sclerosis. gum disease is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, even after accounting for other variables.

One of the most common causes is poor oral hygiene, which leads to a build-up of plaque and gum disease. Most people have bad breath to a certain degree first thing in the morning, because while you are asleep the amount of saliva that is moved around the mouth decreases. Bacteria then start to work on any particles of food or other debris present in the mouth, creating an unpleasant smell (morning breath). Many illnesses can also lead to bad breath.

Gum Disease and Other Oral Disease Research conducted over the last few decades has shown that gum disease (periodontitis) can significantly increase the risk of stroke. In one study, 10,000 adults who participated in a health survey from 1970 to 1992 found that those with gum disease were at increased risk for stroke. According to researchers, the bacteria associated with gum disease enter the bloodstream, damaging the lining of blood vessels and stimulating clotting.
