gum disease

noonesperfect

Well I can only go on what my dentist tells me and apparently I have excellent gum health. (ex smoker, late 40's). I use Neem toothpaste, nuff said.

I am 34 and have gum disease. I see the hygenist every 6 months.

I am really concerned about my 2 front teeth as the gums have receded quite a lot there. The term "coffin shaped" teeth come to mind!! I am getting paranoid that they will get wobbly and will fall out:eek:

The dentist just lectures me about flossing and doesn't really say much else.

Could I eventually lose my front teeth do you think?

As my gums occasionally bleed when using a pneumatic drill (aka Braun electric toothbrush), my dental hygienist a few months ago recommended Corsodyl gum/tooth paste and the Corsodyl daily mouthwash which is just a watered down version of the regular mouthwash. I can honestly say my gums now feel firmer and the bleeding has stopped...of course this is in addition to regular flossing, good brushing technique, regular dentist/hygiene visits etc. My mouth also feels A LOT cleaner compared to using a standard toothpaste/mouthwash combo. When you first use the toothpaste, it'll be the most disgusting thing you have ever tasted (think of seaweed mixed with faeces and lots of salt) but after a few weeks once you get used to the taste, you can only taste the mint. The mouthwash doesn't taste as bad as the original version but isn't nice either. The only problem is the price....the toothpaste/mouthwash costs about 4 pounds each though Boots regularly do a 3 for 2 offer on these. Don't think i will ever go back to a normal toothpaste again

If there was a toothpaste, or indeed 'oil' that could cure gum disease, the inventor would have made a fortune.

The only way to control/cure gum disease is exceptionally good cleaning. The more the disease has progressed, the better the cleaning has to be to control it.

What goes on the brushes/interdentals/floss is of secondary benefit at best. What is essential is lots of time spent with the brushes. There are no short-cuts or 'miracle' cures.

Hello lads:j
I think we should learn more about alternative treatments.Why?
It isn't so expensive like special drugs or surgery.
In our situation I advise to think about magneto-therapy
It is pretty good and not so expensive.Moreover therapy is absolutely safe and painless.Useful article to read magneto-therapy.eu
This is my point of view,if disagree please write your opinion about it

I completely agree, we should find out more about 'alternative' treatments.

As a start, maybe take a group of 100 or so similar people with a problem. Divide them into two groups, and provide one with the therapy to be investigated, and the other group with either a placebo, or the previous 'best' therapy.

So as not to allow any bias in the test, maybe don't let either the patients or the providers to know which therapy they are providing. (Double blind).

After a little while, you could then look at all the patients and see whether one group or another did better.

Simple?

You woud think so wouldn't you, but the reason most 'alternative' therapies tend to stay 'alternative' is because whenever anyone tries to do this, they are found to be no better than the placebo, or not as good as what we have already.

Any 'alternative therapy' that gets through this process and is found to work, automatically becomes known as a 'therapy'.

Your magnets might well work, but so far, no-one has managed to carry it out on a large group of people and prove that it works any better than waving a magic wand at somebody (Which, just by pure placebo effect will 'cure' some people.)
