How can I tell if my gums are healthy?

You will be able to recognize if your gums are healthy because, when they are, you will
observe the signs or “symptoms” of healthy gums.
Your gums will be pink, firm, and
never bleed or hurt with routine brushing, flossing, or when chewing food.

It’s nice to have healthy gums because healthy gums wake up your smile! They
can make your smile attractive. They can make your teeth more attractive. They can even
make your breath fresher.
Think of what this means for your social life.

How do I know if I need to improve my gum health?

On the other hand, when the condition of your gums is less than healthy, you will be able
to recognize certain signs that signal it’s time to improve your gum health. Have you ever
noticed any of the following signs or symptoms?

  • Heavy plaque accumulations around your teeth, especially at the gum line. Plaque
    is a cream colored sticky substance on your teeth that is loaded with germs. If you
    scrape some of it off and hold it near your nose, it has an unpleasant odor.
  • Tarter and stains around your teeth, especially at the gum line. Tarter is hardened
    or calcified plaque.
  • Bleeding gums, especially when you brush or floss your teeth, or when you eat.
  • Red looking gums at the gum line and between your teeth.
  • Swollen, puffy gums at the gum line and between your teeth.
  • Teeth that are becoming loose or are already loose. Spaces that develop between
    your teeth that weren’t there before are a sign of your teeth becoming loose.
  • Persistent mouth odor or bad breath, especially if a mouth rinse or mints don’t help.
  • Mild recession of your gums. Recession alone is not a sign of gum disease.
  • One or more of the above and lack of pain. However, if your chronic gum disease
    evolves into an acute gum abscess around a tooth, you will likely have pain.

If I think my gums aren’t healthy, what can I do to improve my gum health?

Visiting your dentist and having your gums and teeth checked is one way you
can improve the health of your gums.
Your dentist and dental hygienist are the only
people who are professionally trained to properly inspect your gums and teeth, and
professionally clean them. Naturally, only a dentist can recommend appropriate treatment
for your gums.

If treatment is recommended and your dentist is holistic, you are more likely to receive
gum treatments that focus on eliminating the germs associated with gum infection
without
using antibiotics
. To find a holistic or biological dentist, go to the International
Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) and click on the “Find a Doctor”
link on the home page.

Brushing and flossing regularly at home is also helpful because it reduces the number of
germs on your teeth and under your gums. The primary benefit of brushing and flossing is
to remove germ filled
plaque, thus making your breath smell better. Removing plaque on
your filings also helps your fillings last longer.

Will visiting my dentist completely improve my gum health?

Unless your dentist is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and its profound effect on
your health, it is not likely that just visiting your dentist will
completely improve your gum
health. That’s because
it is only by adding effective, nutritional support to any
treatment recommended by your dentist that you will significantly improve the
health of your gums and experience the best outcome possible for your gums.

Has your dentist ever discussed or suggested nutritional support for improving the health
of your gums? Are you aware that an effective, well designed program of specific
nutritional support can make your immune system extremely resilient and robust? Does
your dentist understand the close connection between the health of your gums and the
health of your immune system? Do you?

Why is the health of my gums so intimately connected with my immune system?

this means your immune system is only as good as what you eat? This means that a
well nourished body will also have a well nourished immune system
, and a well
nourished immune system is able to help your body
resist disease better than a poorly fed
one. Or looking at it another way, a well nourished body doesn’t make mistakes.

Furthermore, when your immune system is really strong, then it stands to reason
that
every organ and part of your body will benefit from its strength.

Why is this so important? The answer is because your mouth is part of your body. As
obvious as this may seem, many people, including well meaning dentists, ignore your
nutritional status, believing that gum treatments alone are sufficient to improve the health
of your gums. The dental profession seems to have lost its way in its understanding of
how health works. Most dentists believe that it’s possible to somehow successfully improve
your gum health by just focusing on gum treatments or dental hygiene cleanings, while
ignoring the rest of your body, especially the connection between your nutritional state
and your immune system.  

When your immune system as strong as possible, it becomes a formidable
obstacle to the germs associated with gum disease. Essentially, it prevents them
from infecting your gums and harming you.
So, the crucial, fundamental solution
for improving the health of your gums is to make your immune system as strong
as possible.

How do I make my immune system super strong?  

You make your immune system incredibly strong by creating an internal, slightly
alkaline, health promoting state in your body. The way you go about doing this is
to:

  • Follow a healthy life style by consuming the right kinds of foods and drinks,
    including fruits and vegetables and other foods that are organic, whole grain,
    unprocessed or raw, and contain no added sugars, chemicals or synthetic
    ingredients of any kind.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Avoid as many environmental toxins as possible.

It’s also helpful if you:

  • Breathe fresh air, drink clean water and get adequate sleep.
  • Find meaningful work and caring, fun relationships.
  • Appropriately manage your stress.  

However, if you are like most people, you will probably not be sufficiently
motivated to follow all these lifestyle recommendations and consistently apply
the essential conditions for health just described.
This results in a weakened
immune system that cannot function optimally.
So the easiest solution for
strengthening your immune system and improving the health of your gums is to
compensate for the health creating activities missing in your life style,
by simply
adding all natural, organic, green whole food supplements to your diet.

What are some other benefits of taking organic whole food all natural
supplements?

Supplements made from natural, organic whole foods uniquely enhance the quality or
your body’s physical, mental, and emotional well being, because
they accomplish the
same things that natural and organically grown foods do.
The human body is a
marvelously designed living organism with the ability to grow, regulate, repair,
and defend itself when given high quality, natural remedies containing the full
spectrum of nutrients derived from natural and organically grown foods.
When
you add all natural, organic, green whole food supplements to your diet, you strengthen
and support your immune system by elevating the health of your entire body. At the same
time, you improve the level of health of your gums!  

And like many people, you may find that these all natural supplements will also help you:

  • look younger
  • live longer
  • feel a whole lot better

So, whatever health benefits you are seeking, you are invited to try these all natural
supplements and see for yourself how they can elevate you to a new level of confidence
regarding the health of your mouth and the rest of your body. That means greater peace
of mind for you.
How much is that worth?
