303: How To Reverse Gingivitis + Bleeding Gums
Manage episode 373092402 series 2510351
I never thought that I would get diagnosed with gingivitis + struggle with horribly painful, bleeding gums.
But after months of intense stress, my mouth was really struggling at the end of 2022.
After what was one of the most painful dental cleanings of my entire life, the dentist explained that I had pretty bad gingivitis with pockets forming around my teeth.
Plus, a really sensitive spot on a tooth + weird burning spots on my gums that he couldn’t explain.
After this tear-filled experience, I promised my dentist to turn things around.
Since many of you know from other episodes of the Healthy Skin Show that the health of your oral microbiome is equally important to that of your gut, I want to share what helped me reverse gingivitis + bleeding gums.
Here’s what I did AND the products that helped me!
In this episode:
- How I developed bleeding gums + gingivitis
- What symptoms led to this diagnosis (+ what the dentist recommended)
- What steps I took to reverse bleeding gums
- The products that I used to treat my gingivitis
- What my dentist said at my six-month follow-up visit (amazing!)
Quotes:
I also discovered that many of the conventional + widely available dental floss products are coated with Teflon (PFAS)!
A recent July 2023 study found that the effect of hydroxyapatite on cavity prevention is very comparable to fluoride toothpaste.
