Re: Re: Periodontal Disease - water-pik (REPLY)

[Guest guest]

I was using the water-pik, which did not help for me.

I needed a very good electric toothbrush to stimulate my gums. This is what

worked to save my gums and teeth, along with CO Q10-225 mg/day, peppermint

toothpaste (Tooth & Gums Paste) by Dental Herb Company along with their (Tooth &

Gums Tonic) mouthwash. Also flossing. :-)

PS my infection went so deep into my gums, that I did initially have planing

and scaling work on my gums by my hygenist.

Two tips for anyone who has gingivitis (from mold or otherwise)

One of the best investments I've ever made is a WaterPik. It cleans the

teeth really well. You should still floss, but I would also WaterPik if you

want to get the teeth ultra-clean. (brushing with peroxide and baking soda

also helps) Do it at least twice a day.

Another tip, adding a tiny amount of (pure or from crushed tablets) folic

acid to a final mouthwash or the WaterPik fluid really helps your teeth heal

faster.

Read that on Medline.. tried it, it also helps..
