Gum Disease Treatment - Causes of Sick Gums and Pyorrhea

Causes of Sick Gums - Pyorrhea.
By Dr. George Meining,D.D.S.,

My dentist told me I have pyorrhea. Will taking
Vitamin C stop it?

Like the majority of diseases,Pyorrhea has several causes
that work together to create degenerative tissue breakdown.
Lack of Vitamin C is just one of the causes of sick gums.
More important is your balance of minerals. There has been
so much emphasis placed on vitamins in recent years that
most people forget our need of minerals is often more vital.

Almost everyone seems to feel calcium is essential in the
matter of tooth decay,but few see the importance of calcium
in the eatng away of the jawbone that supports their teeth.
Incidentally,pyorrhea is sometimes called arthritis of the
teth.

This gum disease is primarily an imbalance of calcium and
phosphorus and can be as simple as too little calcium dietary
intake. Before you rush out and buy calcium you should know
it is the ratio of calcium to phosphorus that is important.
The imbalance of these two elements can result from high
amounts of calcium and too low phosphorus,or low calcium and
low phosphorus or high calcium and high phosphorus dietary
intakes.

Each of these imbalances can exist from one’s food selections
but can also occur for a number of other reasons. Sugar,
caffeine products,alcohol and a variety of drugs all upset
the normal ratios of calcium and phosphorus. Though your
defense mechanisms do their best to keep the balance within
normal ranges,continued indiscretions eventually pay their
toll. Obviously if you do not consume sufficient calcium you
will have to draw the calcium you need from your storage
warehouse,your teeth and bones. If continued long enough,
softening of bones will result. Usually the higher stress
areas such as the bone that surround teeth,discs in the
spine,wrists,fingers,ankles,hips are the ones that break
down.

While periodontal disease(pyorrhea) is more prevalent as
one gets older,it’s now frequently seen in children.
It’s kissin’ cousin,arthritis,has related body chemistry
and is also an increasing problem in youngsters.

It is critical to kill the bacteria in the
mouth and gum area before the bacteria
penetrate into our tooth decay process. That

While calcium and phosphorus seems paramount,other minerals
are also essential. The hair analysis studies we do today
will often reveal low manganese and zinc and at the same
time high lead or mercury levels. Actually we test some 15
to 20 elements in the hair as optimum nutrition demands
disclosure of any and all problem areas.

Swollen Gums:
My boy’s gums are quite swollen and red around the bands
being used to straighten his teeth. I am quite concerned
that they are being permantly damaged by all the wires.
Our orthodontist says to brush them good and they will
be all right, but I don’t know. M.T.

Most othodontists today make well fitting bands but they
do irritate the gems. Brushing teeth and gums is helpful
and very essential to keep them in reasonable health.
Most children (and adults also) brush but few spend
sufficient time to get all the food off the teeth.
With orthodontic appliances it is more difficult but not
impossible,your family dentist should be cleaning your sons
teeth at least every six months and examning for cavities
and gum trouble. That is not part of the othodontists
responsibility.

Nutritionally much can be done to minimize the problem.
Low intake of starch foods such as cookies,cake pie,
pastry,candies is important for healthy gums as well as
for decay prevention. Raw fresh fruits and vegetables
twice a day along with a good multiple vitamin is called
for.

If you are doing all this and trouble persists,additional
supplements of the following vitamins will help: 500mg C,
25 mg B3, 5 mg B6,and 100 mg niacinamide. Help tablets
to supply iodine and trace minerals along with bone meal
also aid in preventing spongy,bleeding gums.
