Keep your Teeth for life
Their Teeth!! Yes, it’s true, 43% of Americans have lost some or even
all of their teeth by the time they’ve reached age 45. And, what a shame
that is, because our teeth are really designed to last a lifetime, although
that won’t happen automatically, without our own personal effort.
There’s nothing like a beautiful smile to impress people we meet or
make us feel good about ourselves. And there’s no replacing a set of
healthy teeth for chewing food or even talking properly.
Tooth cavities are declining in the US because of fluoridation programs and
better tooth care products. Tooth loss is usually caused by the condition of
the gums, known as Periodontal disease, which is the loss of connective tissue
and bone that support the teeth. It starts before you can see it, usually from
improper care.
All Periodontal Disease begins with the condition, Gingivitis, which is inflammation,
swelling and bleeding gum tissues caused by a build up of dental plaque. It
is necessary to remove dental plaque daily through proper brushing and cleansing,
and by periodic visits to a dental hygienist. Let me say right here that we
should NEVER go to bed without brushing and cleaning our teeth every night.
It’s not the “teeth cleaning” that is so important here to
prevent gum disease…it’s the removing of all traces of food and
drink from our gums. Food and drink lodge themselves between your gums and
teeth and work against the healthy life of your teeth all night. If we do this,
have regular dental check ups and eat a healthy diet we can keep all of our
natural teeth forever.
Tooth loss is not an issue of age. If we’ve noticed our parents losing
their teeth, it’s most likely because of neglect, not because they’re
getting older. It is generally accepted by the medical community that tooth
loss can be prevented through education, early diagnosis and regular dental
care. Tooth loss does not happen overnight…it’s neglect for a long
period of time. One good note is that gum disease can be reversible if caught
in time.
Replacing teeth is very expensive and I’ve been told the false ones
don’t work as well as the original, natural ones. So, not only is it
less expensive to take proper care of our teeth, our natural ones function
better as well.
My dentist says I have the healthy gums of a 20 year old, even at 71, and
to keep on doing whatever it is I’m doing. So I pass on to you what I
have done most of my life:
My Personal Routine
I brush my teeth and gums well when I get up in the morning stimulating the
gum circulation. Make sure you brush the inside of the gums too. At night I
do the same thing again but also use a water-pick from inside the teeth and
gums as well as outside making sure to stimulate the gums while doing so. The
water-pick finds more particles still to remove after just brushing and flossing.
This total process stimulates the gum circulation, which is very important.
Flossing? I have never flossed. When a new dentist sees my teeth and gums,
the first thing they mumble is, “I guess you floss twice a day…like
a statement…it’s not even a question! I love to tell them, “I
never floss!…I use a water-pick!” I’m not against flossing…and
I don’t own any stock in water-picks…I just don’t think it
does the full job. Think about it…when you floss you can push food and
bacteria up under the gum while doing so. AND try using a water-pick AFTER
you floss…you will still see food particles come out in the sink.
When I feel the need I put a little anti-bacterial mouthwash in the water,
too, for added assistance and freshness. I also take Vitamin B-complex and
a good Antioxidant, which are not only good for the whole body, it also helps
the gums stay healthy and strong.
I wish you the brightest smile and a healthy, long beautiful life.
