Like I figured out before and described in my former blogs, the reason for my periodontal disease isn't that I brushed my teeth too hard twenty years ago or don't clean my gum and teeth properly. The reason that 80 % of my gums are decaying is a "bad bite". My upper and lower teeth touch each other on two points only; all other teeth rub each other when I bite down and stress my gum.
But for sure, my periodontal disease also has to do something with bacteria built up on the exposed roots and heavy plaque built through my mouth fluid.
Back to the periodontal disease treatment today. My holistic dentist in Brevard County, Florida introduced me to her dental hygienist who performed an awesome root planning on my teeth. It took 1 1/2 hours, but now they feel so clean and look much better.
I will have a follow-up appointment and second regular cleaning in two weeks to check if my disease and gum infection improved or if other steps have to be taken. My periodontal disease treatment started today.
I really underestimated what periodontitis or its cases means for my body and what could happen if it would be left untreated like
- heart attacks
- disordered breathing
- snoring
- cardiovascular disease
- ear problems
- eye problems
- bruxing
- posture problems
- TMJ
- headaches
- migraines
- whiplash
- mouth breathing
- diabetes
- and other bad habits and pains
My holistic dentist also checked the proper or improper functionality of my joints, jaw, bite, spin, ears, eyes, etc. The purpose of this exercise was to find the reason for my "bad bite". But not only that, the goal also was furthermore to know which other pain this "bad bite", or the reason for it, is developing in my body. I sometimes have migraines, starting with neck and back pains, blurring eye sight, tingling fingers, etc.
She will create proper braces for me to even out my upper and lower bite so that my teeth come together when I bite down.
My follow-up meeting in regard to the analysis of the exercises above will be in a week. I am curious about the result and how this will improve my decaying gums and the other pain in my body.
To help me improving my gum disease and periodontitis, my dental hygienist recommended a professional toothbrush, an oral irrigator, and other products like tooth paste, tonic, etc.:
- Rotadent (a powered toothbrush, very effective by all gum diseases)
- HYDRO FLOSS (a new oral irrigator, clinically proven to help fight plaque & calculus)
- Tooth & gums paste and tonic from Dental Herb Company (made with green tea extract)
- Min-Chex from SP Standard Process (recommended by my holistic dentist to improve my breathing and jaw/joint/teeth movement while sleeping)
All overall, I am happy I went through and did what I had to do, finally fighting my gum disease periodontitis with any weapons I have.
Hi, I know this is an old post but I am hoping to get the name of your dentist. I am looking for a holistic dentist, and being new to Brevard County, I am having a difficult time finding one. Thank you! -Nicole
