Periodontal Disease Natural Treatment - Periodontal Disease Home Remedy

Periodontal means "located around a tooth." The term refers to any disorder of the gums or other supporting structures of the teeth. Treatment with natural methods stresses nutrients that fight infection and rebuild bone.
    Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) is considered to be an early stage of periodontal disease caused by sticky deposits of bacteria, mucus, and food particles called plaque. Researchers believe that plaque accumulation causes the gum to become infected and swollen, and to bleed. As the gum swells, it forms a pocket between the teeth, causing a trap for more plaque. The gum becomes red, soft, and shiny. Other possible causes of gingivitis include breathing through the mouth, badly fitting fillings wchih irritate surrounding gum tissue, and a diet consisting of too many soft foods that rob the teeth and gums of much needed "exercise."
    If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to a condition called pyorrhea (periodontitis). This is an advanced stage of periodontal disease often related to a deficiency of vitamin C, bioflavonoids, calcium, folic acid, or niacin. It occurs when bacteria get between the gum with painful and bleeding gums. This slowly eats away the bone in the jaw. Abscesses are common. Severe cases will require surgery to remove the infected tissue from the gum and reshape the bone.
    Causes of pyorrhea include poor nutrition, improper brushing, wrong foods, sugar, chronic illness, glandular disorders, blood disease, smoking, drugs, and excessive alcohol.
