WHY PerioTherapy Works so well & Testimonials

"It may be that bacteria under the gum are triggering the immune system to cause inflammation not only in the gums, but in the blood vessels also!"...President of the British Dental Association.

Think about this for a moment: You wake up in the morning, go into your bathroom and brush your teeth. After a few brush strokes, you notice in the mirror or sink, that your gums are bleeding. But, you just ignore it & keep on brushing. Would you ever ignore bleeding if it came from your eye, ear, or hand? Of course not! Once bleeding starts – it’s a sign that something is terribly wrong! It also means that your body armor (your skin) is open & susceptible to invasion by unwanted bacteria & viruses.

hydroflossteeth.jpg (35071 bytes)The skin of the oral cavity is known as Oral Mucosa. It is very rich with blood vessels and if outside bacteria and the toxins they produce get into the blood stream, they are off and running throughout your body. As the illustration above shows, plaque and tartar buildup destroy the health of your gums and allow the supporting bone to weaken – leading to eventual tooth loss, if not caught in time (Gum Disease - not decay - is The #1 cause of Tooth Loss). However, what the most recent International research shows and what American Dentistry has failed to comprehend is that Sulfur Compounds produced by anaerobic bacteria are the True Villains in many oral disorders - from swollen and bleeding gums to Bad Breath. And now as groundbreaking research shows, eventually to systemic problems such as heart disease, strokes, and pneumonia.

Anaerobic Bacteria Produce Sulfur Compounds, Which Allow Toxins to Enter Your Blood Stream Through Swollen Gums!

These anaerobic bacteria have the ability to extract sulfur compounds from proteins produced when your gums are swollen and bleeding. Some of these sulfur compounds are classified as Thiols. These dangerous sulfur compounds have recently been found to allow Other Bacteria – and the toxins they produce – to infiltrate below the gumline. If your gums are already swollen and bleeding, these bacterial toxins may get into your bloodstream and travel throughout your body, most significantly to your brain - leading to strokes, or to the heart - leading to heart attacks!

Professors Robin Seymour and James Steele of the University of Newcastle Dental School in England say that you are less likely to get coronary heart disease if you have a healthy mouth.  In fact, these 2 specialists reviewed 10 studies dating back to 1965.  Two of the larger studies, done here in the U.S. had striking evidence proving this point.  Their analysis was reported  to the British Dental Journal.  Their article stated that Periodontal disease (gum disease) may be as significant as smoking and high cholesterol when it comes to Heart Disease!

As the doctors stated, "An interaction between specific bacteria in dental plaque (anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria) and platelets (the components of blood involved in blood clotting) has also been suggested as contributing towards the association between periodontal disease and coronary heart disease."

A recent 1996 study involving over 1,100 individuals found the incidence of coronary heart disease, fatal coronary disease, and strokes were all significantly related to their baseline periodontal status.  Of course, smoking and diabetes have been implicated in both Heart Disease and Gum Disease. High Sugar Intake and Lack of Fluoride are also related to tooth decay and Gum Disease and could be additional contributory factors to Heart Attacks & Strokes.

"PerioTherapy Products contain Oxygenating Anti-bacterial Agents, Fluoride, and no sugar.   It uses natural Stevia and Natural Flavors to make a great-tasting and useful product.  No artificial colors, etc, and No Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (Soap)!"

They suggested that periodontal disease should be looked at as a chronic infection.  Dr. Seymour stated that there is a lot of evidence now saying that chronic infections may be an important trigger for "atheroma" formation (degenerative changes in the arteries).  The link between bleeding gums and heart disease & strokes appears most obvious in men aged 40-50 years old.

Dr. Geoff Craig of the British Dental Association welcomed the report, stating, "Dentists should continue to emphasize that improving dental health generally - and gum health in particular - helps to maintain natural teeth and may also help to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."

More Research - This Time from the United States

According to a recent study at the University of Minnesota, 2 kinds of bacteria breeding in dental plaque around inflamed gums can bring about "blood clumping".  This is technically speaking the first step towards forming a clot that can trigger a heart attack.

At the university, experiments on rabbits found that these bacteria, which originate in the mouth, also caused abnormalities in the heart!  Again, the standard risk factors like high cholesterol, lack of exercise, poor diet, and being overweight need to be amended by adding Periodontal disease (inflamed bleeding gums and excess sulfur produced by anaerobic bacteria.)
