You might want to do a search on that herb on google or talk to a TCM practitioner about a formula for you. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hello, I am Sylvie Escarret, I have completed Basic , advanced and Psychotherapy in Chennai. I have a problem with my own gums which are retracting, revealing the roots of the teeth . Would you please give me some advice about the correct treatment, I have some hesitation . Thanks a lot and all the best Sylvie ==================================================== Dear Sylvie, Namaste. Thank you for your email. Medical Background: Gums that recede to expose the root surfaces of teeth is a common condition in adults over the age of 40. Many consider it to be just a sign of aging, and in some cases it is essentially that – often the result of wear and tear or years of aggressive tooth brushing. However, sometimes receding gums can be a sign of something more. In many cases, receding gums are caused by periodontal disease (gum disease). Three out of four adults have some form of it, and in most cases, it doesn't cause any pain and goes unnoticed. Common in adults, gum disease starts when bacteria containing plaque builds up on the teeth and gums. When the plaque is not removed daily, it produces toxins that irritate and inflame the gums. Eventually the inflammatory process destroys the gum tissues, causing them to separate from the tooth and form spaces called pockets. The pockets hold more bacteria, which only compounds the problem. In the early stages, gum disease (gingivitis), marked by red or swollen gums that bleed easily, is reversible and can be detected and treated by your dentist or dental hygienist during regular check-ups. As the disease progresses (periodontitis), it can destroy the bone and soft tissues that support the teeth. In advanced stages of periodontitis, teeth can become loose, fall out or have to be removed by a dentist. In fact, periodontitis is the culprit in 70 percent of tooth loss in adults over 40. The good news is these gum conditions can be prevented by good daily oral hygiene habits. Receding gums are best prevented by brushing with a soft toothbrush, using mild-to-moderate pressure and small circular or very short back and forth motions. Avoid hard toothbrush bristles and long horizontal brush strokes with excessive pressure on your toothbrush. If your gums have receded, it is sometimes possible to graft tissue to cover a portion of the exposed root surface and to reinforce the fragile, receding gum tissue to protect from further recession. Also common to receded gums is sensitivity that results from the exposed root surface. Your dentist can apply medications in the office, and /or recommend products for you to use at home that will help reduce sensitivity of these root surfaces and help protect the now vulnerable root surface from decay. The folloowing health tips can assure adults to look forward to keeping their natural teeth throughout their life. -Brush thoroughly with a soft tooth brush twice a day -Clean between your teeth daily with floss or interdental cleaner -Eat nutritious and balanced meals and limit snacking -Check with your dentist about use of supplemental fluoride, which strengthens your teeth, and about the use of dental sealants (a plastic protective coating). -Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral examination Pranic Healing: Source - Advanced Pranic Healing by Master Chao Kok Sui. 1.
