[s-A] gum health

 

 

> " A health program should have as its thesis the anticipation and

prevention of disease rather than its mere identification and

treatment. " --Drs. E. Cheraskin & M. Ringsdorf

>

> Brief, random thoughts on the problem of gum disease:

>

> 1. Avoid sugar - germs love it. Sugar also depletes your immune system.

Sugar also causes calcium loss from the bone. Osteoporotic bone leads to

weakened tooth support in the jaw -- loosening and eventual loss of the

teeth. This leaves little for implant support should they be desired.

Dentures constructed for people with osteoporosis need constant refitting.

> 2. Be certain to eat a protein breakfast daily. If 'eating' one is a

problem, you can have a protein drink.

>

> 3. Make food supplements a habit (calcium and magnesium, Co-Q-10, Vit. C,

Vit. E, etc.)

>

> 4. Exercise

>

> 5. Relieve stress - Dr. F. Klenner found that a fit of rage could deplete

one's vitamin C level 3,000 mg. We like The Sedona Method - superb -

> 6. Occlusion should be checked and corrected by a competent DDS.

>

> 7. Immaculate Oral Hygiene practice. See a DDS whose hygienist has the

knowledge and time to teach you 'hands-on.' One cannot 'tell' a friend how

to swim or ride a bike.

>

> 8. Correct habits that could cause and aggravate gum disease. Here we

think of myofunctional therapy for the deviate swallowing pattern.. > >

>

> An added suggestion: Use the unique qualities of colloidal silver. We

spray it on the Rota-dent tip (or regular tooth brush). You can also

occasionally spray some in your mouth and swish it around before swallowing

it.
