(prHWY.com) October 26, 2012 - USA, AL -- 26th Oct 2012 - We are really concerned about overall health, healing, and doing this naturally. Scientific evidence is catching up with common logic to reveal that the best way to minimize disease and improve health is through what you eat and altering habits (no tobacco products, brushing and flossing teeth). A big step to over come is that most people suffer from poor diets but they think they are fine.
Illinois Oral Surgeon - By the time we end up with bleeding or gum pain, mouth ulcers or sores, or a problem tooth, there are usually tell tale signs of problems along the way. This is because gums and teeth are highly sensitive to nutritional issues and deficiencies.
The most typical lapse is in dental flossing. Some people stop flossing because of bleeding gums. However, the dental profession has confirmed that bleeding during flossing is a sign that insufficient flossing is taking place. And they see bleeding as a sign of periodontal disease (which leads to loosened and lost teeth). So, keep moving in the right direction and keep flossing.
Ties have been made between dental hygiene and overall health. Problems with teeth and gums are signs of deeper health issues, including a lack of important nutrients. Eating certain types of foods robs the mouth and teeth of important healing and health-building agents; and NOT eating certain real, whole, raw foods deprives the mouth and teeth of the ability to heal.
Since the mouth is the first step in the digestion process, an unhealthy mouth leads to a type of starvation that results from the inability to break down foods and use them in the cells. Of course, sugar has been implicated in dental problems for hundreds of years, but there are other lesser known substances that are just as harmful, including toxins, artificial ingredients, refined foods, soda and acidic "food" ingredients.
Another serious factor in dental health is smoking and the use of tobacco products which restrict healthy blood flow to the mouth, cause oxidation within cells and the destruction of tissues, thus damaging teeth and bones.
Illinois Cosmetic Dentistry - Unfortunately, by the time there is an diseased tooth, the best that can be done is often at the hands of a skilled dentist, because an untreated (or mistreated) infection can spread rapidly through your body. The mouth has an obviously close relationship to vital organs such as your eyes, ears, nose and most importantly the brain. A spreading infection could be fatal.
Typically, oral surgery is performed to remove a problem tooth and historically has involved the potential of removing some jaw bone (if infected or destroyed). Replacement teeth and antibiotics are a common course of action. Not only can steps be taken to improve your health to recover more rapidly from the procedure, but also how to prevent future problems, attack problems when they do pop up, and most importantly how to eliminate existing gum pain.
