DIY Personal Care Products For Dental Treatments

By Kimberly Myers


As people get older their immune system is degraded. This makes them be prone to various illnesses including dental problems. In addition to a good charge routine, checks up and regular dental treatments with some DIY personal care products are essential.

If dental charge routines are not followed properly or not followed at all, the mouth and teeth become infected. The most prominent is the plaque and tartar that easily build upon fangs if good treatment routines are violated. The periodontal disease is caused by the plaque and tartar that is left unattended to for a long time. With time these manage to destroy the structures that support teeth. This leads to a person experiencing loose molars that will later fall out.

Bacteria multiply more quickly in warm and humid places. This makes the mouth a perfect place for it to breed. Practicing good care routine like brushing teeth or flossing are the ways used to remove the bacteria and prevent the building up of tartar.

Visiting the dentist on a regular basis to get cleaned up reduces many dental conditions. Periodontal disease can develop into gingivitis if left untreated. At this stage, the gums would be bleeding, swollen and you will be having difficulties when chewing. However, there would still be a chance of recovery at this stage if proper care routine is immediately done and maintained.

If an individual does not go to the dentist to get the gingivitis treated; it eventually develops into periodontitis. In gingivitis, the inflammation will only be on gums. But, in periodontite, the inflammation would have spread to the molars and incisors thereby creating pockets. At this stage, fangs get loosened by the reaction of the combination of excessive bacteria and the good bacteria produced by the immune system to fight infections. The supporting structures get damaged hence teeth increasing the chances of falling out.

There are various causes of gum disease which like smoking, hormonal changes and other illnesses. Hormones are known to make gums too sensitive. Sensitive gums are easily affected by bacteria that cause gingivitis. If neglected, gingivitis then develops into gum disease. There are some illnesses that affect some body parts more including gums. Illnesses like diabetes, AIDS, and cancer are known to affect gums. In some cases, gingivitis is hereditary.

Medication also causes gum inflammations. This happens in two ways. Firstly, medication promotes overgrowth of gum tissue. This excessive gum tissue tends to get stuck on molars and incisors if good charge routine is not practiced. If left for a long time, it starts to build up into plaque and tartar. Also, some medication side effects include dry mouth. In this case, there will not be enough saliva to help protect the mouth from potential bacterial infections.

If you find yourself having red swollen and bleeding gums, bad breath, difficulty when chewing because of pain; it would be ideal to visit a dentist. This is because these are the main signs and symptoms of gum disease. To further help yourself, frequently practice good care routine like brushing and flossing of teeth. If this becomes routine you will have healthy gums free of infections.
