Gum disease is quite common among the average adult. It can range from simple gum inflammation to serious diseases that can damage the soft tissue in the gums and the bone that supports the tooth. In severe cases there is ultimate loss of tooth. The bacteria which are for ever present in our mouths combine with residual food particles and mucus in the mouth and form a sticky substance known as plaque.
If this plaque is not removed daily by proper brushing and flossing the bacteria found in it, inflame the gums. The gums become red and swollen and bleed easily. This stage is known as gingivitis and it can be cured with due proper care and oral hygiene. If gingivitis is not treated then it leads to periodontitis which is a severe form of gum disease.
The gums become severely infected and they start pulling away from the teeth forming small pockets that become infected. The gums, tissue and the bone that supports the teeth get damaged and begin to erode. As a result the teeth may become loose and may eventually off.
Cure Gum Disease
Neem
The first goal of treatment is to contain the infection and destroy the bacteria which are damaging the soft tissue and the bone. Take a tender neem twig and chew its end to flatten the top into brush like bristles. Rub the flattened top all over the gums and teeth and keep chewing it now and then so that its juice can mix with the saliva.
Brush your teeth with the neem twig daily, for five minutes then rinse your mouth with water. Neem will destroy the bacteria, remove the plaque and heal the damaged tissue and bone.
Mustard Oil

Take a glass of hot water and dissolve one teaspoon of sea salt into it. Use this solution as a mouth wash and rinse your mouth with it.
Take a mouthful of the solution and swish it around your mouth for a few seconds before spitting it out. Do this until you have used up all the solution. Use this mouth wash two or three times daily to remove the infection and reduce the swelling in the gums.
