plaque the Enemy

What is plaque?

Many of the foods you eat cause the bacteria in your mouth to produce acids. Sugared foods, such as candy and cookies, are not the only culprits. Starches, such as bread, crackers, and cereal, also cause acids to form. If you snack often, you could be having acid attacks all day long. After many acid attacks, your teeth may decay.

Plaque also produces substances that irritate the gums, making them red, tender or bleed easily. After a while, gums may pull away from the teeth. Pockets form and fill with more bacteria and pus. If the gums are not treated, the bone around the teeth can be destroyed. The teeth may become loose or have to be removed. In fact, periodontal (gum) disease is a main cause of tooth loss in adults.

One way to prevent tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease is by eating a balanced diet and limiting the number of between-meal snacks. If you need a snack, choose nutritious foods such as raw vegetables, plain yogurt, cheese or a piece of fruit.

How do I brush my teeth?

• Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against the gums.
• Move the brush back and forth gently in short (tooth-wide) strokes.
• Brush the outer tooth surfaces, the inner tooth surfaces, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
• Use the “toe” of the brush to clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, using a gentle up-and-down stroke.
• Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.

Healthy Mouth

Hello folks. I was thinking back on my habits, (bad and good) and remembered the times I should have and could have but didn’t clean my teeth and gums. The few seconds I would have lost each of those times would have saved me a lot of pain and suffering, not to mention money. I think I’ve finally got my mind right and so I try and clean my teeth and gums several times a day. It has made a tremendous difference in my oral care. I brush and rinse and message my gums and have improved my condition drastically. I even sleep better. I can hold conversations without worrying about chasing the dog out of the house because of bad breath. If you don’t already, take the extra few seconds and start cleaning your teeth and gums a couple of times a day. I promise you will notice the difference. therabreath

Bad Breath

If you are like me, then you’re probably thinking “Not another breath spray – isn’t rinsing and brushing enough?“

It’s a valid question……and one that I think I’ve tried to answer before, but I don’t mind doing again.

Let me start by saying this – ‘Bad Breath’ is the odor of the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC’s) that are created from the anaerobic bacteria that live in your mouth, between your teeth, beneath the surface of your tongue, in the back of your throat, and in your tonsils (if they exist).

See the picture to the right…. reaching your mouth, teeth, and front of your tongue in regions D, E, and F is simple – tens of thousands of you do it every day with our TheraBreath Oral Rinses and Toothpastes. But what about the production of odors “farther” back (Regions A, B, and C) – in the very back of your tongue, deep in your throat or in your tonsils?

Happy Gums

When the gums or tissues in your mouth, that support the teeth, become inflamed or damaged, the most probable diagnosis will be, periodontal disease, Gingivitis is its most common form. swelling of the gums may lead to bleeding or mouth odor, and gingivitis may lead to periodontitis if left untreated. This is a disease that is caused when the bones that support your teeth become unhealthy and the tissues around the teeth swell and the result is tooth loss. This may also be an indication of diabetes. Also this condition can occur during pregnancy.

Treatment

to treat gingivitis brushing and flossing several times a day is the best course of action. messaging the gums is a good practice. Use a soft bristle toothbrush and spend about two minutes brushing. And of course it is important to continue regular professional care.

You’re about to learn how you can have clean, fresh breath every day for the rest of your life.

Bad breath is caused by Anaerobic Sulfur Producing Bacteria which normally live WITHIN the surface of the tongue and in the throat. These bacteria are supposed to be there, because they assist humans in digestion by breaking down proteins found in specific foods, mucous or phlegm, blood, and in diseased or “broken-down” oral tissue. Under certain conditions, these bacteria start to break down proteins at a very high rate. Proteins are made up of Amino Acids. Two of the Amino Acids (Cysteine and Methionine) are dense with sulfur. These sulfur compounds are actually by-products of anaerobic bacteria (Fusobacterium and Actinomyces, among others). Everyone needs these bacteria, because they assist the digestion process. But, unfortunately, for some, as yet undetermined reason these particular bacteria are found in higher numbers in those anguished by Bad Breath. (Various theories attribute this to hormonal changes, a history of medications, usually antibiotics or sulfa drugs-which create an imbalance of oral bacteria, or even Genetics-these disorders appear to run in some families.) We do know however, that it seems to be evenly split between men and women.
