What is a natural remedy for gum disease?

is there a natural remedy for gum disease? i get social security disability, and don't have the money to see a dentist, and medicare does not cover dental or vision.....please let me know if there is something i can do for my gums

Floss!! There is a rinse called Chlorahexadine, but you if you have periodontal disease, you must have the bacteria and tartar removed from below your gums in order to get rid of the infection and the floss to prevent it from returning. It can affect your general health if you don't. It can contribute to high blood sugar in diabetics, it is the same bacterial plaque found in the arteries when you have heart disease, I could go on and on. The scary thing is, you can actually spread it to your spouse, or anyone else you kiss. For your health, please go and have a deep cleaning and then FLOSS every day. I have always told my patients, if for some stupid reason you ever had to choose between brushing or flossing, floss.

You shouldn't take that sort of risk with your gums since it could lead to more serious health problems with other parts of your body. You should see a professional about it.

Gum disease is a very serious thing and no one should disregard it. If you want a natural remedy, try http://www.themouthdoctor.com/gumdisease... , perhaps it can help you prevent gum disease. I hope you the best!

Well, I'm no dentist but I've heard that it is just as important to brush your gums as you do your teeth. Two to three times a day with a soft toothbrush. Flossing is important too. For you I would say Listerine. Rinse twice a day. If you can't afford Listerine try Walmart's store brand. Works just as good, half the price. Good luck.
