The Natural Dentist Healthy Gums Anti-Gingivitis Rinse (R&G)

Are you seeing red? When you floss or brush your teeth, that is….

If you are experiencing “pink in the sink” when you spit out your toothpaste, or blood on your dental floss, take heed. People mistakenly think this is a sign that they are brushing hard/well or flossing efficiently, but bleeding gums is actually a symptom of gingivitis, and it is a warning sign that your gums need serious attention.

Dentists estimate that 80% of us develop gum disease in our lifetimes, ranging from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis. If left untreated, however, gum disease may progress to other oral health issues, including tooth loss (it’s the #1 reason for adult tooth loss!). Other studies and experts, including Dr. Oz, have also linked gum disease to heart disease, stroke, breast cancer and respiratory diseases, such as COPD.

While it can happen to anyone, the following raise the risk for developing gingivitis:

• Poor dental hygiene
• Pregnancy/puberty/menopause (hormonal changes increase the sensitivity of the gums)
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Genetics/family history (30% of general population susceptible to gum disease)
• Smoking
• Stress
• Medications
• General illness

Gingivitis is due to the long-term effects of plaque deposits, and it is often painless, so bleeding gums may be your only symptom until it has progressed further along (other symptoms are swollen/tender gums, receding gums, and/or persistent bad breath). Luckily, one of the early warning signs of the gum inflammation IS the bleeding you see when you brush or floss, so it is your body’s way of telling you something’s not right. If you have a family history of this issue or notice bleeding when you brush or floss, you should schedule a dental visit to evaluate your condition, as well as take steps at home by adding The Natural Dentist Healthy Gums Anti-Gingivitis Rinse to your oral care regimen.

My thoughts...
I  recently received the Peppermint Twist flavor. I am always excited to try new oral care products and  was excited to try the Peppermint Twist! The flavor is a little stronger than I was expecting, but like with all mouthwashes, it does take some time to get used to a new flavor/brand!  I was not at all disappointed with this rinse, it has kept my breath fresh and my mouth feeling clean for hours!   I also have noticed a significant decrease in bleeding gums. This product is great at getting rid of coffee breath!!!
