Amazing Gingivitis Remedies
By Michael Smith, MD
Painless gingivitis remedies are now available in supplement form. Despite regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleaning, it is challenging to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Most of us just give up.
But don't neglect your gums. As we have come to learn, plaque-induced gum disease causes more than just bad breath. Chronic gingivitis (inflamed gums) can lead to a host of serious health problems, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, and even cancer.
But there's good news. Researchers have discovered two key nutrients for healthy gums. The two all-natural gingivitis remedies, with daily use, can help to...
1. Sooth inflamed gums.
2. Prevent tooth decay.
3. Stop bad breath.
4. Ease inflammation throughout your body.
5. Support a healthy heart and digestive system.
Remedy #1: Oral Probiotics
After years of study, a new oral probiotic lozenge may change how millions can achieve optimal oral health. A microbiologist from New Zealand, Dr. John R. Tagg, is credited with advancing the science of using probiotics to enhance oral health. What was remarkable about Tagg's work was that a species of friendly bacteria, called streptococcus salivarius, occurs naturally in the mouth. Unlike other probiotic species, these strep organisms lived in benign symbiosis with the human oral cavity.
Dr. Tagg found that S. salivarius produces proteins that reduce inflammation and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. These "bad" bacteria are responsible for cavities and gingivitis. Testing Dr. Tagg's discoveries, Swedish scientists succeeded in reversing symptoms of gingivitis in just two weeks by administering oral probiotics to people with gum disease.
The two beneficial strains of bacteria they used were S. salivarius and B. coagulans. This amazing gingivitis remedy is now available without a prescription. Just one lozenge a day is all you need for healthier gums.
Remedy #2: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
CoQ10 is needed by every cell in your body to make energy. Without it, cells stop working and eventually die. Unfortunately, the natural production of CoQ10 declines with advancing age. The loss of CoQ10 within the oral cavity leads to gum disease and tooth decay.
Supplementing with CoQ10 can dramatically reverse the symptoms of gingivitis. I suggest that you take 100 mg/day by mouth and apply CoQ10 directly to the gums (prick a hole in the softgel and squeeze the oil on your finger).
Please note: the best form of CoQ10 is called ubiquinol. Cheaper products use a less potent (and less absorbed) form called ubiquinone. Spend the few extra bucks and get ubiquinol...it's worth it.
Summary
The amazing all-natural gingivitis remedies really work! At a fraction of the cost for traditional treatments, the natural remedies, oral probiotics and CoQ10, will promote a healthy mouth and body.
