receding gums

[M-o-ggy]

This may seem an odd question and if it is then please accept my apologies. Does anyone know if receding gums are linked with Parkinson’s and if so what is the treatment for it.

I haven't had a proper read about coenzyme Q10 for a long time, but I remember it's good for your gums, as well as all its many other properties, so maybe you can do a search on it...

I agree. You must use ubiquinol reduced form and you chew the gel capsule. I do it twice daily. I'm told my gums are excellent.

Do you have a link to the one that you use?

[mrvl in reply to gomelgo]

I've always been manic about my teeth; Maybe because at age six I had nine baby teeth extracted in one day. By army dentists working in shifts.

Gastroparesis is a common sign of PD. That's regurgitating stomach acid. I worry that the acid will Lead to enamel erosions and periodontal disease. The only thing I've found to help is toothpaste made by adding ozone to various oils.

Ozone kills bacteria quickly and the effect lasts for days, I use ozone toothpaste but also inject ozone in hopes it will help PD. .

thank you for this. I am curious about the toothpaste. Where can I buy it !

For anyone who has gum disease here are some ideas…

There is a connection between gum disease and dementia because the tiny bacteria lodged in the deeper layer of gum can travel along the nerve pathways towards the blood brain barrier .. a subtle and long standing problem can lead to neurological issues.

The good thing is you can address this is various ways…

Stop any form of sugar especially before bedtime…This includes wines beers biscuits etc..and avoid mouthwashes as this seems to speed up the problem because it also destroys the good bacteria which actually controls pathogens in the oral areas.

To address bad bacteria quickly …Put one drop of tea tree oil on your index finger and just run it along the inflamed gum leave for a minute do not swallow! then brush from the gum towards the teeth .. not down nor sideways….you can also use a drop of oil of cloves.

OIL PULLING

Then introduce the use of extra virgin coconut oil .. daily oil pulling not only reaches below the gum line and hard to reach areas…coconut is a natural antibiotic.It actually softens hardened plaques too enough to brush away after a few weeks of this treatment.Always swish a tablespoon of this morning and night..for at least five minutes.. always spit this into a plastic disposable..

There is a toothpaste called Purify made by OralB… this is the only one that keeps my gums healthy… it is available from the French Amazon site.

Lastly taking an natural adaptogen like andrographis panicular will act as a antibiotic that only destroys bad bacteria throughout the blood stream…

Also look into white elderberry extract.

Plaque holds these critters in place 24/7 so get to an oral hygienist and then keep to a protocol to stay on top of your oral health…

I used to brush minimum 6 times a day, and see a dentist for extensive and difficult cleaning every 6 months to get rid of a large amount of plaque and still I got cavities along the exposed gum line due to receding gums.

Now , I brush when I wake and before bed only and I use an antiseptic mouth wash every time I am in the washroom (maybe 15 to 20 times a day) .

No receding gums, It was 2 years between cleaning at the dentist and the dental assistant that does the cleaning said that there was no plaque build up and it took very little time.

I believe we brush too much. Try a good mouthwash.

It's a screenshot of the product I use. IT TASTES BAD so hold your nose closed while brushing. I mentioned I believe it can help with PD symptoms. Studies show that ozone kills bacteria on contact by disrupting the envelope surrounding it. Visualize a big soap balloon. It pops when you touch it. That's how ozone kills bacteria. I've been over-due for a checkup and cleaning for two years. It will be interesting what the dentist says about ozone. A lot of dentists now use ozone to treat dental disease.

NORMALLY LINKED WITH AGE.

[Hidden in reply to STEWBABY]

Yes and the other thing with age is you lose the ability to get nutrients from food thereby depleting a good gut micro biome .. so you need to be more pro active…… a good gut brain axis is essential to avoid dementia and poor health.

[Wonky-Bride]

See a gum specialist so that the plaque that has built up under the gum line can be dealt with and then regular visits (every 4 months) to the hygienist after that.

I don’t believe that gum disease is specific to PD but it needs to be treated professionally. Not pleasant but worth it!

[gomelgo in reply to Wonky-Bride]

I get 4 cleanings per year, but I have gum disease in my family, both my parents. But I stopped getting root canals, and started using a powder toothpaste. I think that helps. Now I just need to figure out how to stop the sugar cravings ...

Hi M-o-ggy,

I have never heard of any gum-related symptoms related to PD. But of course gum recession IS related to aging - I don't know whether that applies in your case.

[M-o-ggy]

Thank you for all your replies. I really appreciate it. asked on this forum as I have a visit with my PD consultant and was wondering if this was in some way linked to PD.

Background inf I have had bleeding gums for about two years. Dentist says gums are healthy although on one tooth there is a clear sign of decay at the gum line ( or where the gum line was. Suggest I buy a new toothbrush and use toothpaste instead of salt. They also suggested I might be ill.

Off to the Dr for Blood tests One CBC (KH) came back as repeat in one month. Repeated at a month and results are satisfactory.

Dr and Dentist say that considering my age, my teeth are excellent and my dentist said that my teeth didn’t need cleaning

Why then do my gums bleed when I clean them and the gums tingle; which was my original comment to my dentist

You people have given me a lot of inf to work on.

I would like to change my dentist but it is virtually impossible to find one with spaces available

Thank you to every one.
