How I Cured My Chronic Gingivitis

I Am an Ordinary Person with a Real Story.

My name is Rose Mudd. I want to tell you about my experience with gingivitis and how I cured it with a completely natural remedy that worked for my chronic condition.

This completely natural remedy cured my gingivitis and solved all of the problems that I had with the resulting periodontitis. Deep pockets. Chronic infections. Painful teeth.

Gingivitis to Periodontitis. Receding Gums and Bone Loss.
I Had It All.

My story begins with bleeding gums and a relatively mild case of gingivitis. I was about the age of 30. I took steps to clear up the initial bout with a visit to the dentist. He did a deep clean and I followed up with better oral hygiene: daily brushing and flossing.

But a couple of years later I got gingivitis again. And it was bewildering to both my dentist and me. It seemed to have no apparent cause. My dental hygiene was on the mark.

The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene. If you don’t regularly floss and brush your teeth bacteria builds up to form plaque and plaque turns into a calcified material called tartar. As tartar begins to build up it irritates the gums at the gumline. Eventually the gums get inflammed, turn red, become swollen and if this condition is neglected the gums will begin to bleed. Plaque is easy to get rid of with regular flossing, brushing and rinsing but tartar is another matter. You should floss at least once a day, brush at least twice a day. Brush and rinse with a potent anti-bacterial non-toxic antiseptic.

Poor Dental Hygiene Is Not The Only Cause of Gingivitis.

The dentist was at a loss to explain my recurring bouts of gingivitis until one day I walked into his office with yet another gum infection. When he asked me what was wrong I said that I just spent a week in the hospital and the whole time my gums were bothering me.

He asked me why I had to go to the hospital. When I told him I thought I was having a heart attack but it turned out to be severe anemia. He asked me how long I’d been anemic. For the last six years. I replied. He just looked at me and heaved a big sigh. Then he said: Well my dear that explains your gingivitis!

Anemia? I Was Flabberghasted. I Am Not a Doctor.
I’m a Computer Geek.

I had no idea that anemia caused gingivitis. I didn’t think to mention it to the dentist the first few times I was diagnosed with anemia. And he never asked. Yes I did fill out one of those tell us your medical history forms the first time I saw him but at that time I hadn’t yet been diagnosed with anemia. I just had a severe and unexplainable case of gingivitis.

It was shortly after my first visit with him that I was diagnosed with anemia but I didn’t think to mention it to him and he never asked again about my health.

I suffered with anemia on and off for about six years. I complained many times to the doctors that I felt really tired. They never checked me for anemia. I have hypothyroidism and so they always blamed that and ran thyroid tests or upped my dose of thyroxine.

Believe It Or Not It Was a Naturopath Doctor Who Discovered My Anemia!

It wasn’t until I went to a naturopath that the subject of anemia came up. I explained how sick and tired I was of feeling tired! It didn’t take her long. Almost immediately she said: Go back to the GP and insist on a blood test to check for anemia. The general practitioner that I was seeing at the time was chagrined when the blood test showed I was severely anemic.

I still did not make the connection between anemia and gingivitis. As time went on, I became anemic again but it sort of crept up on me. I was working a very stressful job, long hours and I was getting ready to go on a big long holiday thinking that I just needed a good relaxing break from it all.

It Was a Nightmarish Experience

I was so severely anemic that I ended up in the hospital and didn’t get to go on that holiday. In the end the cause of my anemia was easily solved. But by this time I had already developed periodontitis. My gums receded in many places. I have significant bone loss and at one point I had bone infections below the gumline. I had to have the gums cut open, the bone scraped away and gum grafts in some places.

The Gingivitis and Resulting Periodontitis Cost Me Money and Caused Significant Pain for Years.
Until….

It was impossible to go a full six months without a cleaning. For years I visited a periodontist every three months for a scaling and to keep my gums in check. And yet, in between scheduled visits I often ended up in his office with deep-pocket gum infections. Why? Because it is very hard to reach the bacteria in those deep pockets with floss. Not even a waterpik helped. And I always had to have a numbing injection so he could clean deep below the gumline. And then…dreaded antibiotics.

To Pull Or Not To Pull…

Eventually I lost one tooth…a useless molar at the back of the mouth. The dentist wanted to crown it. But the periodontist said A waste of money. You’re going to lose that tooth in the next year or two. And sure enough I did.

But there was another tooth that was a constant bother…sensitive to bite on and constant infections around the gum because of a deep pocket. I was ready to have it pulled and replaced with expensive bridge work…because I was tired of the constant pain and the recurring infections in the deep pockets around this tooth. The dentist…not one to pull teeth…gave me a strong dose of antibiotics and suggested we give it another two or three months.

Before my next appointment I discovered OraMD. And I Still Have That Tooth I Wanted to Pull!

I honestly cannot remember how I found OraMD. But the testimonials were too convincing too ignore. Not to mention the money back guarantee. I ordered a bottle immediately.

Today, more than three ten years later, I still have the bone loss but I didn’t lose that tooth! The sensitivity I had all around my teeth is completely gone and I now have pink healthy gums and stable, strong teeth and no more infections! I haven’t had one gum infection since I started using OraMD.

The Simple Fact Is: I No Longer Have Problems with Plaque Or Recurring Deep-Pocket Infections.

Now I visit the dentist only once every 10 or 12 months for a normal scale and checkup. I use OraMD in place of toothpaste. I use it every day, twice a day along with regular flossing.

My last dental appointment was on the 10th of August, 2009…almost 11 months since my previous visit. Eleven months between visits…in the last 10 years that is a record. My dentist is still amazed at the healthy condition of my gums and asked me to supply the information about OraMD. For the second time, he noticed that I had hardly any plaque build up. And he couldn’t believe how healthy my gums are. He even called in his colleagues to hear my story. I was in and out of the chair in less than 20 minutes.

I saw my dentist again in January 2010 because I wanted a quick checkup before embarking on a long overseas trip. Everything was good. Generally no plaque! He did a quick scaling of one or two spots and a soda blast (new cleaning technology) just to be sure. It is now August 2010…8 months later. I’ll schedule a regular checkup in the next month or two but I don’t have any of the discomfort around my gums that I would normally experience before I discovered OraMD.

It is now 2014 and I continue to be free of any gingivitis or periodontitis trouble. I still use OraMD!!

If you have any sort of problem with gingivitis or periodontitis, I strongly recommend that you try this product to get relief. It contains only three ingredients…all completely natural…and it just works.
