Your gum is a very important organ that helps to hold your teeth and also act as a protector for the root of your teeth. The health of your gum is very essential to all of the things you do with your teeth including smiling.
Oral hygiene, brushing and flossing habit is not learnt in old age. Parents should be responsible enough to inculcate good dental care habit in their children. When I was young I did not understand why I should brush my mouth before going to bed every night.
But now that I am a parent, I dread that my children could develop one of the dental diseases that are caused by poor oral hygiene. So I make sure that they brush and floss properly and at regular times
If you have poor oral hygiene habit, soon tartar and plaque will begin to build up on your teeth and under the root separating them from your gum. This lays the foundation for gingivitis, tender and swollen gums. If dental carelessness continues then gingivitis could develop to periodontal disease called periodontitis. Worse is you may never know unless a dentist examines your teeth.
If you are like some people who eat everything under the sun and refuse to brush and clean your teeth, then don't be surprised if as you grow older you find that you are not able to make optimum use of your teeth, especially in chewing. Gum disease can demoralize and make you listless.
Pain is a terrible thing, but it is hell when it resides in your teeth. By now your teeth has been thoroughly separated from the gum and disease causing bacteria has taken over both teeth and gum, and all the pockets created by the separation. A tooth or teeth can become candidate(s) for pulling out, because of resultant bone loss.
The bone that holds the teeth does not grow back, so also is your gum. This is why it is very important that prevention should be your watch word, and if an infection occurs let it be found out on time, so that it be nipped in the bud either with orthodox medicine or herbal remedies
However, let me say that before applying natural herbs a dentist should examine your dental condition and possibly carry out planar root scaling for cases that are more than gingivitis, so that the plaque and calculus separating teeth and gum be taken out completely.
Adequate brushing and flossing will keep your teeth from infection, but if carelessly your gum becomes infected, then no amount of brush or flossing can cure it. The following natural remedies will help to return your gum back to health:
The following are some of the natural remedies you can use to deal with gum disease
