Have you ever stopped to consider how sad our human condition is?  Just the fact that we have to have some form of currency leads to all kinds of problems.  People struggle to obtain more money, so they can have more power and control more people.

In any case, this is a bit sad in and of itself.  However, we are all human beings on this planet.  Why is it that we many suffer, for example those without food, while others have plenty.  With all our ability to wage war and kill our enemies, why can’t we kept people fed?

When you think of it in those terms, it seems a bit strange, doesn’t it?  I have always wondered about our currency system.  Is there really no other way to make things happen in this world?  The monetary system does seem to benefit those who ‘have’ over those who do not ‘have’.  Why is that?  Does it seem right to you?

Yet, there are many people in this world suffering in living conditions that others would never want to be in.  On the other end of the spectrum, there are people living in extreme luxury.  The average person has ‘nothing’ compared to them.  This disparity between the two extremes is strange, isn’t it?

Everyone was born as a human being.  Yet, some have a quality of life that far exceeds that of others.

However, I am not sure there is a good answer for all of this.  Communism did not work for human beings.  The issue of control and domination still come into play.  Instead of a utopia of equality, you end up with a dictatorship, oligarchy or some similar dysfunction system where the leaders are not elected by the people.

These problems are not very simple to solve.  Solving a dental health problem might be as straight forward as getting a hydrofloss or reading up on tonsil stone removal.  There is also therabreath for bad breath too.  But not something like this.  There really is no way that I can see to change the vast inequities that exist between the two extremes.

Part of the problem is power and possessions. No one really wants to help the people who are in a worse condition at their own expense.  Considering all of the tax dollars that are currently collected and spent on things that may not really be important,  why can’t we solve the problem of human beings that do not have enough food to eat?

Many people believe that having periodontal (gum) disease is a problem of old age.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  You can be a young child and have a problem with the health of your gum tissue.  The reality is that damage builds up over time and it is only when people are older that they start to see the accumulated problem. 

Because they only start to recognize it later in life, it is often associated with the later stages of life.  But in reality, up to 80% of people may have some form of gum disease right now.  Your chances do increase over time.  I saw a statistic on the Mayo Clinic’s website that up to 95% of people have some form of gum disease after age 65.  Such stats do little to dispell the myth that this is a disease of aging.

So, what do you do when the majority of people will not consider that they  might have some level of gum disease right now?  Well, there is really nothing you can do. Yet, the individuals themselves could choose a different path. There are ways that go beyond brushing and flossing to improve your dental health.  If brushing and flossing were enough, would so many people end up with gum disease and need expensive treatments to mitigate the effects of the disease?  The answer is: probably not. 

I hope that everyone can understand the truth about this problem and save their teeth as well as thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on dental work that could have been prevented!

Tooth loss, among other things, can be quite a devastating or a demoralizing experience. The most common factor or cause of tooth loss would be periodontal disease commonly referred to as ‘gum disease’. This is associated with advanced stages of gum deterioration. When the gums are afflicted with bacteria that secrete toxins onto and around the periodontal tissue. This is literally, the tissue that surrounds the tooth.

Obviously, we have all been cautioned to remain vigilant with our oral health care routines. But with our current realities especially as it relates to food and disease, it may take more than regular flossing and brushing to prevent and cure periodontal disease.

In line with this, there are some measures that one can take in order to prevent or stop the progression of gum disease.  Consider an oxygenated, pH mouthwash such as the Therabreath brand.  Make sure that you also have enough intake of Vitamin C, bioflavonoids, folic acid, calcium and niacin to combat pyorrhoea.

Another possibility is an essential oil blend that can help to kill harmful bacteria.  Oramd is one brand.  However, be forwarned, this can help, but you should also know that the daily disruption of plaque is necessary to help mitigate these problems.  An oral irrigator, like the hydrofloss may be helpful in this regard.

Periodontal disease is a condition wherein the bone structure that supports the teeth starts to erode as a result of the destructive waste products of anaerobic bacteria that accumulate under plaque.  Excessive alcohol and smoking can exacerbates already existing periodontal disease or facilitate the development of the disease. Vitamin B2 or riboflavin might help relieve mouth dryness. Mouth dryness can help the rapid proliferation and growth of bacteria.
