Because
oral
health
is
a
crucial
aspect
in
maintaining
general
health,
it
is
necessary
to
be
observed
diligently.
Gum
disease
(gingivi=s)
is
the
most
common
and
poten=ally
painful
problem
that
can
be
experienced
when
oral
health
is
not
taken
seriously.
Warning
signs
and
symptoms
of
gum
disease
or
infec=on
may
include
inflamma=on
of
the
gums,
bleeding,
swelling,
bad
breath,
sensi=vity,
and
gum
recession.
Despite
popular
belief,
toothpaste
is
not
the
solu=on
to
this
ever
growing
problem.
Most
commercial
toothpastes
have
harmful
ingredients
(such
as
Sodium
Fluoride
[rat
poison],
Sodium
Laurel
Sulfate
[industrial
floor
cleaner],
and
Hydrated
Silica
[sand]
to
name
a
few)
that
can
actually
weaken
the
soU
=ssues
of
your
mouth
over
=me,
and
even
cause
more
severe
infec=ons
in
your
gums.
Having
healthy
gums
is
really
quite
simple
and
can
be
accomplished
by
establishing
a
good
oral
hygiene
program
consis=ng
of
both
personal
and
professional
care.
This
will
not
only
result
in
having
a
clean
mouth
that
looks
and
smells
healthy,
but
will
also
aid
in
the
preven=on
of
cavi=es,
gingivi=s,
Periodon==s,
bad
breath
and
other
dental
disorders.
Keep
the
gleam
in
your
grin
with
the
following
oral
hygiene
secrets
to
keep
your
gums
healthy!
2.
It
is
very
important
to
make
sure
that
your
mouth
is
free
of
debris
and
random
food
par=cles
as
they
serve
as
“food”
to
those
nasty
oral
bacteria!
Make
sure
not
to
feed
the
bacteria
in
your
mouth
by
flossing
at
least
once
a
day,
though
flossing
aUer
every
meal
is
preferable.
Be
gentle
and
don’t
force
the
floss
or
cleaner
between
your
teeth,
and
make
sure
to
keep
an
eye
out
for
stubborn
sores,
redness
and
other
unusual
changes
in
your
mouth
or
on
your
tongue.
3.
To
help
maintain
healthy
gums,
use
a
mouthwash
in
the
morning
and
evening
aUer
brushing
(don’t
forget
that
OraMD
can
be
diluted
in
an
ounce
of
water
for
an
all
natural
mouthwash!).
It
is
important
to
remember
that
over-‐the-‐counter
mouthwashes
are
very
powerful
and
kill
not
only
the
harmful
bacteria,
but
the
beneficial
bacteria
as
well.
Long
term
and
over-‐use
of
chemical-‐laden
mouthwash
is
ill
advised
because
it
can
eventually
cause
an
overgrowth
of
resistant
pathogens.
While
gingivi=s
is
a
growing
problem,
it
is
a
completely
treatable
and
even
preventable
condi=on.
The
demand
for
a
remedy
has
increased
as
the
awareness
of
gum
disease
has
grown.
In
turn,
the
op=ons
for
treatment
have
also
grown
as
the
market
has
become
inundated
with
a
number
of
products
making
various
claims.
However,
OraMD
is
the
only
all
natural
product
on
the
market
so
confident
of
its
effec=veness
that
it
is
backed
by
a
full-‐year,
100%
money
back
guarantee.
Proper
dental
hygiene
is
not
only
important
for
your
mouth,
but
for
your
overall
health
as
well.
Gingivi=s
poses
a
serious
health
risk
for
the
en=re
body
and
has
been
linked
to
condi=ons
such
as
coronary
artery
disease
(heart
disease),
stroke,
pancrea=c
cancer,
and
even
the
occurrence
of
premature
births
amongst
pregnant
women.
Though
there
are
numerous
causes
for
gum
disease,
there
is
really
only
one
way
to
cure
and/or
prevent
it,
and
that
is
with
a
proper
oral
hygiene
regimen.
3.
Foul,
odorous
breath
accompanied
by
an
unpleasant
taste
in
the
mouth
are
some
of
the
ini=al
signs
of
gum
disease.
Once
these
symptoms
are
no=ced,
if
immediate
ac=on
is
taken,
one
can
effec=vely
reduce,
if
not
completely
eliminate
the
presence
of
gingivi=s
altogether.
5.
As
we
age,
our
teeth
and
gums
are
aBacked
with
decay
and
erosion.
This
is
to
some
extent
inevitable,
but
the
process
can
largely
be
prevented
and
avoided
altogether
by
regular
aBen=on
to
correct
oral
hygiene.
Spending
a
few
minutes
a
day
on
an
oral
regimen
can
save
you
from
poten=ally
unpleasant,
unaBrac=ve,
and
unhealthy
consequences
in
the
future.
We
have
known
for
a
long
=me
that
superior
dental
hygiene
results
in
a
healthier
body.
An
unwriBen
rule
of
health
states
that
the
more
ac=ve
a
role
you
play
when
it
comes
to
taking
care
of
yourself,
the
more
it
will
pay
off
both
in
the
immediate
and
distant
future.
This
advice
also
stands
true
when
it
comes
to
taking
care
of
your
mouth
in
addi=on
to
your
body
as
a
whole
(you
know
as
a
child
your
mom
and
den=st
weren’t
nagging
you
about
flossing
for
their
benefit!).
Prac=ce
good
oral
health
and
your
teeth
can
last
a
life=me!
