Oral Health - What Happens Next?
Chances are high that you have an oral health problem. Professionals estimate that perhaps as much as 80% of the adult US population suffers from some form of gum disease.
Clearly, if this is the case, something is very, very wrong. How could it be true that so many suffer from gum disease? Don't most of us go to the dentist on a regular basis to get our teeth cleaned? Don't most of us brush and floss our teeth every day? How could the percentage of people that have gum disease be so incredibly high?
Oral health, especially gum disease is a complex problem in the sense that there are many facets to look at. That is not to say that gum disease itself is hard to conquer. No.
There is a small minority of people that will suffer from gum disease no matter what. But the vast majority of people are not doomed in this way. It is really a matter of understanding and taking action.
Therein lies part of the problem. Understanding what gum disease is and what is needed to stop it or prevent it from coming back once it has been checked is desperately needed by the majority of people.
Information about gum disease is not always forthcoming from the professionals that we entrust our oral health to. There is one notable exception. Periodontists have special training in gum care. The focus of their practice is on the health of the gums.
Isn't that just another clue? There is an entire profession devoted to gum health and disease. You see, that eighty percent statistic isn't so far fetched after all, is it?
Even so, information and understanding is part of the problem. If people understood what gum disease is and how it sets up residence in the mouth of most human beings, they would have a much better chance to stop, check its progress or prevent it in the first place.
But how many have that understanding. Very few, judging the the statistics that oral care professionals site.
How can this lack of knowledge be addressed? I've written a book called, What You Should Know about Gum Disease - A Layman's Guide available at the GingivitisKiller.com website.
In this book, I take the information I gathered along with my own personal experiences and lay the whole problem out for people in a simple to follow manner. I also help people to understand what can be done to fight back against gum disease including discussion about specific tools and products that go beyond just regular brushing and flossing.
Honestly, there is a problem with my book. It doesn't draw you in like a good fiction novel. It could even appear too straight forward and possibly monotonous at times.
That is the trade off for having an information book. I wrote it to cut to the chase and get to the point. There isn't a lot of dancing around the subject and not a lot of flowery verbiage or prose.
Instead, I rely on readers' desire to learn about gum disease and what can be done to fight it to keep one's attention on the book. Frankly, if you have an active and noticeable case of gum disease, using fancy tricks to keep your attention won't be necessary. You are going to want to know this information as you read every last page.
As the author and a person who has suffered from gum disease and gingivitis, I have to believe that this book is a benefit to every person out there. If you aren't part of the eighty percent, then you need to prevent active gum disease from affecting your oral health. Finally, if neither of those situations applies to you, you might have a loved one, who could benefit from your new found knowledge. Therefore, you may want to know what is in the book.
This article is not meant to offer advice, it is for information purposes only. If you have or think you might have gum disease or any other oral health problems, you should visit your periodontist, doctor or dentist for diagnosis, advice and treatment.
Warm Regards,

Plaque and Gum Disease
Plaque is a biofilm that can start to reform about 30 minutes after removing it. Inside the plaque, bacteria find a nice place to hide and begin to multiply rapidly. The plaque provides optimal conditions for bacterial proliferation.
The first type of bacteria that forms within the plaque are the gram-positive bacteria. They are not deemed to be the bacteria responsible for gum disease. It is the second type, the gram-negative bacteria that is believed to cause gum disease. The gram-negative bacteria begin to inhabit and multiply in the plaque about two days after plaque forms. These gram negative bacteria produce an acid waste product that is detrimental to both tooth enamel as well as gum tissue.
This is why flossing is so vitally important. It is an efficient mechanical way to remove plaque from between and around the teeth.
The standard answer for how often you should floss is once-per-day. And this makes sense if you consider that the gum disease causing bacteria take about two days to get going. If you floss daily, in theory, you should be preventing gum disease.
However, there are questions to consider. Are you really getting all of the plaque off when you floss? Are you missing any? Do you miss the same spots all of the time?
If you miss the same spots all of the time, then you aren’t getting rid of the plaque in that area at all. It is able to facilitate the rapid growth and provide a breeding ground for the harmful bacteria that causes gum disease.
If everyone were flossing properly and efficiently, then there wouldn’t be so many people with gum disease walking around. The truth is most adults do have gum disease, as much as 80% after the mid 30’s. Yet, that is just a statistic. Gum disease can strike at any age, including children as young as 6 years old.
Since so many people have gum disease it seems unlikely that regular brushing and flossing, regardless of the reason, is enough to stop gum disease. Perhaps people don’t floss thoroughly enough. Perhaps, they don’t floss long enough. Whatever the reason, the statistics tell us that a lot of people are walking around with some form of gum disease.
The question becomes, what does work to rid one’s self of gum disease? I was told by a periodontist that a study conducted in Scandinavia indicated that getting a professional cleaning once every two months cleared up a lot of problems associated with gum disease.
Unfortunately, most insurance companies won’t or don’t recognize this as the standard of care that should be maintained. I was also told that the once-every-six-month model of professional cleaning was originally intended to fight dental cavities and not gum disease. Gum disease is a different ball game that requires more frequent professional cleaning as well as good home care.
I was told that I had gum disease. At the time, I was told that I needed a root scaling and planing treatment. I declined and bought a special device called a hydrofloss and used it daily. When I went in for my next dental checkup I was told that I didn’t need that root scaling and planing treatment any longer. I question the validity of the need for the root scaling and planing in the first place.
My gums do not bleed upon brushing and flossing any longer. If you have gums that bleed while brushing or flossing, that is often a sign of gum disease. No one ever told me that. In fact, I never knew it until I started researching gum disease. So be aware that if you have any bleeding while brushing or flossing you may have gum disease. Most people are not aware of this basic fact. As in my case, they often think bleeding is normal.
This article just provides basic information that may or may not be deemed correct by dental professionals or other experts. If you have or think you have gum disease, you should visit your dentist for diagnosis, treatment and prevention advice.

New article on Gum Disease
Gingivitis is a Funny Topic is a new article I wrote.
This is a disease that most people don't even know they have.
And even if they don't it is easily preventable.
So there is no reason to suffer from it.
I've also launched a site which I mentioned before,
Gingivitis Killer.com on this site, I talk about how
I found out that I had gingivitis after YEARS of not
knowing or at least not understanding what it meant
to have gum disease.
And if you would like to be kept up to date on what I have
to say about gingivitis and oral health, then sign up here:
You'll be glad that you did. No one should have to suffer with
a disease that most can prevent or stop cold in its tracks, if it
is already present.

Killing Gingivitis
Have you ever suffered from gingivitis or gum disease or know anyone who has?
Chances are, the answer to that question is, "yes".
The reason being that about 98% of the population is susceptable to gingivitis / gum disease.
Only 2% of people walking on the planet have a natural immunity to it.
If you are among those 2% of fortunate ones, then congratulations.
If you are like the rest of us - the 98% - head on over to GingivitisKiller.com
I struggled with gum disease, I didn't know I had it until some recession of the gums set in.
Find out what I did about it and what you too can do.
