Gum infection treatment options are multiple, but very few actually deal with the root of the problem on a long-term basis. Thus you may only be treating the symptoms. The following are some of the symptoms of gum infection:
- Bleeding gums
- Swollen and red gums
- Mouth sores
- Painful gums
- Loose teeth or dentures fit differently
You may have a gum infection and not even have any of the signs of gum infection. This is an important point to remember. In fact, many of the products focus alleviating only the symptoms and not the core problem.
There are several causes of infected gums: biting on a hard piece of food, blunt force, lack of proper nutrition, inproper brushing (too hard!), and so on. At the foundation of all of these things, however, is the presence of bacteria in the gums. When bacteria is not kept in check, then you have an “gum infection” whether you feel it or not. Infected gums often show the signs of the presence of bacteria (of course pus is a common sign).
The difficulty is that the bacteria live in hard-to-reach places that most products never effectively reach. Mouth washes are temporary and can actually be quite harsh on your gum line. Gum disease is essentially an infection of the gums and root structure of your teeth. It is more systemic than a local infection stemming from a precise incident, but nonetheless the root of the problem is the same – bacteria.
There are natural essential oils that are available that not only are free of harsh chemicals, but also are anti-bacterial and remain in that crevices of your gums, unlike many of the commercial products.
