Heal gum disease in a week or less
by Michael Edwards
(NaturalNews) Gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease. Untreated gingivitis can advance to periodontitis, to which there are many degrees. Aggressive periodontitis occurs with people who have gum disease but seem to be otherwise healthy or at least have no other disease that conventional medicine has deemed a cause of periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis includes inflammation within the supporting tissues of the teeth and bone loss. Necrotizing periodontal disease is a severe infection in the gingival tissues, periodontal ligament, and the bone. And then there's Periodontitis as a manifestation of other disease(s).
In all other cases of gum disease, the gums can be healed within a week, and usually within just a few days. With a case of another disease causing the periodontitis, the disease itself likely needs to be remedied to fix the gums, but the mouth can at least be brought to a much higher level of health with the following practices, regardless of other chronic health conditions. For anyone with teeth that have suffered root canals or that have metal fillings, the following procedures should be followed indefinitely.
Teeth take longer, but the same rules apply. As long as they are there and aren't completely full of filling material, there's hope for teeth, even those with visible cavities and depleted enamel.
It starts with diet. Eat acidic, nutrient robbing junk, and your teeth and guns will rot. Get the right nutrition while you fix your gums, and ideally, you will keep your gums and the rest of your body healthy with nutrition from that point on.
Raw, organic, fresh vegetables are the most important part of our diet. Fruit is a close second. Every other type of food is a distant third. Eliminate refined, processed foods. Refined sugar, like soda for instance, is so acidic it literally leaches minerals and vitamins from your teeth and gums as it passes through. So does white rice and most breads.
Don't smoke. Even smoking marijuana is terrible for the gums and teeth. It introduces a huge concentration of free radicals and carbon into the mouth that causes chemical reactions, rendering our cells damaged and depleting the mouth of vitamins and minerals.
Chew on garlic. It sucks, but it's worth it. Chew on garlic regularly, and eat garlic with salads (eats lots of vegetables; make lots of very diverse salads). When you chew on garlic, chew with your mouth open, and breathe through your mouth.
Fix the intestines. Whatever infection is in your mouth, it's in your intestines, too, and it's seeping into your blood stream as well. Fix the intestines and typically, the whole body follows suit.
Take up oil pulling. Try coconut oil with a touch of Shillington's formula (see below) or a microbe killing essential oil.
Floss. Even when it makes the gums bleed, it's important to floss and floss properly; it speeds healing of the gums and prevents cavities at the gum line as well.
Wherever there is infection, there are almost always candida and bad bacteria (bad meaning it's harming us, but all bacteria has its place). Often there are other parasites to be aware of, but not always, and that's another article (see the further reading below).
Make your own toothpaste!
The mouthwash and toothpaste most people use is crap. This includes the most of the overpriced brands in the natural section at the local health food store. Chewing on garlic and brushing with baking soda and unrefined sea salt does more for teeth than any store bought toothpaste. Check out some of the sources below for homemade toothpaste recipes.
For very serious chronic periodontitis, or just to have a good all around mouth formula, I highly recommend doing Shillington's Tooth and Gum Recipe (there's also another toothpaste recipe on that page). It's not necessary for healing gums in most cases, but it radically speeds up the process regardless of how seriously the gum health issues are, and it is truly an amazing formula with lots of benefits for your entire mouth.
