Gum disease, known in dentistry as periodontal disease, begins much earlier than it is detected. Millions of people suffer from periodontal disease, which begins with gingivitis, a slight swelling of the gums, and ends with tooth loss. Dentists unanimously declare that the development of periodontal disease is facilitated by our “soft” diet of heat-treated products, which entails the decay of tooth enamel and, as a result, gum disease.
Medical treatment includes the use of antibiotics, laser therapy, tooth extraction and many other activities, the need for which is determined by the dentist himself after an appropriate examination. Treatment of periodontal disease with folk remedies offers gentle methods of treatment using herbal preparations.
After determining the diagnosis and prescribing treatment and after consulting with the attending physician, it is not forbidden to help the methods of official medicine and apply alternative treatment of periodontal disease. Together they will give excellent results.
Treatment of periodontal disease with folk remedies does not include the use of expensive or inaccessible drugs, so it is easy to practice at home.
The rules included in the folk treatment of periodontal disease are extremely simple and reasonable. Following these rules will be useful to all people - with identified periodontal disease and without it.
1. Daily gum massage.
For this type of massage, treatment of periodontal disease by folk methods suggests using a toothbrush (massage) with rubber soft bristles, and in the absence of such - with your own thumb and forefinger. Only 5 minutes a day carefully massage the gums, and that’s it! Massage stimulates blood circulation in the gums, accelerating the healing and removal of bacteria.
2. Vitamins.
It is necessary to supplement the daily diet with vitamins that contribute to the regeneration of gums: up to 1000 mg of vitamin C per day, B-complex, magnesium and zinc. Your doctor may also recommend coenzyme Q-10, which speeds up tissue repair.
Treatment of periodontal disease with folk remedies involves the use of various plants in the form of decoctions, lotions or fresh.
3. Burdock root.
1 teaspoon of dry burdock root, brew a glass of boiling water, cool to room temperature. In the morning, after brushing your teeth, rinse, holding the liquid in your mouth, rolling between the teeth, drawing in with sound, trying to get the broth into all the holes.
4. Rose petals.
Rinsing from the petals of red roses is done similarly to burdock. This rinse has not only a wonderful effect, but also a wonderful psychological effect.
5. Rosemary.
Fresh rosemary can often be found in stores and markets, but if not, buy dry rosemary. If you stretch a few leaves and use them to massage the gums, the effectiveness of the massage will affect much earlier. The healing process goes at a triple rate.
6. Tea tree oil.
Drop a few drops of tea tree oil on your toothbrush twice a week with regular brushing . This oil acts as an antiseptic and antibiotic, reducing localized infection.
7. Aloe vera.
Natural slices of aloe leaves are needed to rub gums before bedtime. You can put the leaves cut along along the affected areas of the gums, hold for a while until you have the patience, then spit it out. The more often you do this, the faster healing will go.
8. Baking soda.
Replace toothpaste with baking soda only after consulting a dentist, despite the fact that soda is an ingredient in many toothpastes and powders. If the doctor permits, then keep a closed jar of soda in the bathroom and, applying it to a damp brush, brush your teeth 2 times a day.
9. Pseudo-electric toothbrush.
Imagine that your brush has become electric. No need to buy a regular electric brush. These brushes are too hard and vibrate too fast. You just need to make reciprocating movements along the gums with a simple brush. You can not make movements with pressure, you just need to clean very quickly to remove all plaque. If the gums are bleeding, then you need to buy a brush even softer.
The treatment of periodontal disease with folk remedies has been tested for centuries. It does not harm in any way, but only enhances the effect of drugs and methods prescribed by the dentist. The goal of traditional medicine is to stimulate the self-healing of the body, helping it in this and awakening internal reserves.
