Stopping Gum Disease - Can You Do It?

The majority of people can do something about gum disease if they really wish to. It is easier to prevent gum disease in the first place, but many people, up to 80% of Americans, already have a problem to solve.

A lot of pain and money can be saved, but if your gum disease is moderate to advanced, you need to take action now. If you have mild gingivitis, you are in a better place.

Many problems may stem from our nutrition. Excessive sugar intake may not only contribute to the accumulation of plaque and tartar but they may also offset the ability of your body to maintain the proper calcium and phosphorous balance to keep your teeth healthy and free of cavities. This modern diet of ours may be 'killing us' slowly.

On the surface level, plaque must be disrupted daily in order to prevent the formation of tartar. Failure to do this will result in the accumulation of bacteria that can harm both your teeth and gums. However, there have been, in the past, indigenous groups of people that did quite well without the modern toothbrush. Their diet was a healthy one.

If you are on the modern diet, which you almost certainly are if you are reading this, then you do need to work to prevent that tartar build up. As with all things there are alternative views but for most of us, this holds true.

When your are able to keep the plaque to a minimum, your gums may become healthy and pink again. Lost gum tissue is difficult to recover. Surgery and gum grafts are not going to yield results that are equivalent to preventing tissue loss in the first place.
