Many people eat processed foods these days & these foods do not provide the necessary mineral that the body needs for healthy strong teeth thus decay & gum problems have their beginning....
Inflamed gums means bacteria are travelling throughout the blood & can cause a myriad of diseases including heart disease & Alzheimers.
There is a school of thought which says if you practice 'oil pulling' this ensures clean gums.
I myself practised this everyday, not knowing the mouth has a 'microbiome' just as the 'gut' does.
Oil pulling ( I used coconut oil with essential oils added) kills ALL the bacteria, both the good and the bad.
I learn that it is fine to use oil pulling perhaps twice a week but as soon as you finish, it is best to rinse your mouth with clean water then re-establish the balance of the bacteria by using a probiotic powder or drink & rinse your mouth with this.
The good bacteria actually protect the gums & stop the bad bacteria from gaining entrance to the deeper pockets of the gums.
So I have followed this protocol for some time and can honestly tell you it works. My gums are the healthiest they have been for a long time & getting better all the time.
If you look at Dr Axe'x website he has a wonderful recipe for home made toothpaste.
