Gum Disease is a Serious Problem For Too Many People

Unfortunately,  too many people suffer from this problem.   Equally unfortunate:  Most of those people do not know they have it!

Since many people do not believe or think they have this problem, they naturally do not do anything about it.   This might lead to gum recession and tooth loss.

Gum disease is considered to be the number one cause of tooth loss.   Replacements, such as implants are quite expensive.  Implants don't always work the first time.  This requires a waiting period and a second try.

The costs are high and who knows what the pain and recovery factors are.   I would prefer to keep my own natural teeth than find out.  You?

Brushing and Flossing

 These are certainly a good idea and should be done daily or at your dentist's recommendation.   However, are brushing and flossing enough?

For some people, they may be all that is needed and they may never develop gum disease.   However, it is a mistake to think that people who have gum disease don't 'take care of their teeth', because that isn't necessarily the truth.

Of course, not brushing and flossing is probably going to help a problem develop.   However, as stated before, dental pros tell us that  75% of people seem to have some gum disease.

In my way of thinking, this says that brushing and flossing are not enough for all people to remain safe from gum disease.  Therefore, while important, they may not be the answer for the majority.

I say that because a lot of people think that if a person has gum disease it means they do not take care of their teeth.    In reality, a person can brush and floss 'religiously' and still develop gum disease.

Don't be fooled by that simple mentality, the problem of gum disease can be a bit more complicated - but not too much so.

Interesting Perspectives From My Customers

I had an interesting conversation with one of my customers who purchased a Hydro Floss today.

We talked about the work of Weston Price and potential problems with some popular health food items today.  We also talked about radioactivity in Europe and now on the West Coast of the US.

It is quite amazing how many of us easily forget about the radioactive disasters of yesterday that can be affecting our food supply and ourselves today.

Anyway, I digress.  We are here to talk about gum disease.  But, I truly enjoy the different perspectives I hear from my customers about all things health.  Regardless of whether I agree or not, it is almost always interesting hear various viewpoints from everyone.

At any rate, one thing we can be relative certain of is that about 75% of the population exhibits some form of gum disease right now.  Ask any dentist, hygienist, periodontist, or oral surgeon, they all know the problem is widespread.   That is why I believe every family needs the information contained within this book, whether they realize it or not.

A few weeks ago,  an anesthesiologist who also bought this device from me and works for a busy hospital told me that he was sure that gum disease had an awful lot to do with the cardiac disease they were constantly treating.  Many researchers have long suspected links between gum disease and many other diseases.

When you think about this, it isn't really all that new.   As you can see in history, one always checked the condition of a horse or other work animal before purchasing it.   Theyintuitively knew that a diseased mouth reflected the state of the rest of the body.   They would not buy work animals with bad teeth.    Isn't that fascinating?

Gum disease is a big problem.   Many times you can do something about it.   However,  if regular brushing and flossing were 'always enough', would we see the high incidence of gum disease that we do?  I will leave the answer for you to think about.    Perhaps you will draw the same conclusion  I have.

Knowledge is Power

If knowledge is power, not having enough would be ignorance then, wouldn't it?  Sometimes the technical language and professional language are a big barrier to understanding.
The subtitle to What You Should Know About Gum Disease is "A Layman's Guide To Fighting Gum Disease."

It is so for a reason.   I have put things in an easy to understand format and repeat the key points over and over again from different angles.   It is to drive home what this disease is and what you have to achieve to overcome it.   While the amount of effort varies from person to person, because every body is different, it is hard to get anywhere if you don't have the right information.

One key point is that the fight against gum disease,  regardless of whether you want to stop it or prevent it in the first place is a daily struggle.   No one is going to work on your teeth everyday, except you.  It isn't practical or possible to get a dental cleaning every day.  Yet, the plaque must be disrupted every day.

Perhaps brushing and regular flossing really are good enough for some people,  but what about the majority of people?   Again, you can draw your own conclusion.

Perhaps the book: What You Should Know About Gum Disease is one that belongs on your family's health book shelf?

Fear of Going To The Dentist

Many people are afraid to go to the dentist and this is a fear that must be overcome.   On the other hand, it is very important to find a 'good' dentist.  That would be one that actually cares about you and is not willing to charge you for unnecessary treatments or diagnostics.

Unfortunately, we live in age where many people just routinely take advantage of others.  They think that is 'normal', but it is not.   It is a very perverse mentality.

I think people should be under the care of a good doctor and get their teeth cleaned on a routine and regular basis.   There is, in my opinion, real value in regular office cleanings.

But again, it is imperative that you find a good doctor.   Fear is not necessarily unfounded.  Finding a doctor that has a high moral standard is very important.

Unnecessary work can be irritating, painful and very costly.  You need a doctor you can trust.   I do believe it is not so easy to find such doctors today.  But, I do believe they are out there.

I have indeed heard a number of horror stories over the years and I have my own bad experiences with some 'professionals' as well.

What You Do At Home Is Important

While it is very important to be under the care of a good and honest doctor, it is also important to focus on what you do at home.  Every good dental practitioner will agree that the greatest positive or negative effect on your dental health, under normal circumstances, has a great deal to do with your home care.

This is because the plaque or biofilm that house the 'bad' bacteria must be mechanically disrupted daily in order to stay ahead of any problems.   You can only see your dentist a few times a year and certainly not every day.   Therefore, what you do at home is extremely important.

If brushing and flossing every day where ALL that was needed for everyone, then you wouldn't see so many people with gum disease.  That is a clue and something to think about.

I speak in general terms only.  Specific questions about your unique dental health situation should be directed to your dental health provider of choice.

Teeth Whitening:  On my twitter profile at  http://twitter.com/davesnape  I have been getting questions about teeth whitening lately.    I am not the biggest fan of teeth whitening.   In fact, the teeth of some people are supposed to be a bit on the yellow side.

But, if you are one of those who insist on whitening your teeth.   These kits may be of use to you:
