This month my mom went to the dentist office because she thought one of her crowns was getting loose. It turned out it was not actually her crown but entire tooth got loose.
So her dentist sent her to periodontist.
We went to periodontist and he performed deep cleaning and some antibiotic treatment on my mom's tooth and said that for now they will just watch and see if it gets better. Since I was there I scheduled my appointment as well because I have receding gums.
On my appointment periodontist told me that I actually need gum craft on 4 of my teeth. This procedure sounds too painful to me and so I want to try use natural ways to improve gum health and hopefully slow down or maybe reverse the process.
While waiting on periodontist appointment for my mom I did research on natural ways to treat periodontal problems.
So here are steps we are taking in order to keep gums and teeth healthy:
1. Vitamins and Supplements
This article from Institute for Optional Nutrition discusses how nutritional factors affect teeth and gum health. I learned that actually using certain vitamins can help gum health as well.
So I ordered and added these Vitamins and supplements to my daily routine:
Vitamin C (2-4g)
Vitamin A (100,000 i.u.)
Vitamin E (200-400 i.u.)
VItamin D
Calcium
Coenzyme Q10 (50-150mg)
Bioflavonoids (500 mg - 1g)
Selenium (200 mcg)
Folic Acid ( 2 mg)
Zink (15-30mg)
2. Sea salt mixed with warm water. I use it as often as I can.
Read here about sea salt for your teeth.
3. Coconut oil pulling. I wrote about oil pulling here and now I make sure I swish my teeth every day for 20 minutes.
4. Natural toothpaste and mouthwash. I switched to all natural toothpaste andmouthwash. We also use baking soda and xylitol for teeth cleaning.
Here you can read more about benefits of brushing your teeth with xylitol.
You have to be careful though when you use herbal toothpaste or mouthwash. I believe one herb was actually irritating my gums.
P.S. if you use invisalign make sure your retainer doesn't touch your gums.
Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts.
Here is beautiful smile for you! :)
