Gum disease can be a serious problem that affects nearly three quarters of adults in the UK at one time or another. Many people mistakenly believe that gum disease is not that serious and will probably clear up on its own, but this could be making a big mistake. Recent studies have conclusively proved the link between gum disease and heart disease. Infections in the gum can easily enter the bloodstream through the mouth and cause a chain reaction that leads to a narrowing of the arteries around the heart. This could be very dangerous and even fatal in some circumstances.
There are many ways to treat gum disease that involve surgical treatment and conventional medicine but there is also a large movement to treat it using more traditional methods. In many areas of medicine and science as a whole, the reinterpretation of traditional medicine is being proved time and again with scientific evidence. It is for this reason that many London W1 dentists are now recommending things such as Echinacea as a treatment. Dropping a small bit on some gauze and keeping it next to the gum overnight will help to ease the inflammation and allow the body to fight the infection.
Aloe Vera and clove have also both been found to have anti-inflammatory qualities that can aid in the successful treatment of gum disease. It is very important that gum disease is treated early s it can become the more serious form of the disease, periodontitis, which will involve far more serious treatment. If you think you may be suffering from gum disease, then make an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible to receive treatment.

If you have ever experienced tooth pain you will be all too aware of how unpleasant and debilitating it can be. Dental pain can be caused by a number of factors. One of the most common is enamel erosion. Enamel is the top layer of the tooth that is there to protect the more sensitive dentine and dental nerve that form the inside part of the tooth. If the enamel is eroded by decay or general wear it can expose the more sensitive parts of the tooth to extremes of temperature and bacteria. This will cause sensitive teeth, which can involve very sharp pain that makes eating, and especially drinking, very difficult.
Root canal treatment is a complicated procedure, and therefore it is usually only done in extreme cases. The treatment is given to patients who are constantly prone to infection in a particular tooth, rather than lose the tooth the treatment saves what is an otherwise healthy tooth. The procedure is about as painful as any other treatment, in other words you won’t usually feel a thing during the process. First of all the dentist will drill into the cavity of the tooth called the Pulp Chamber, and remove any infection that remains. Then further drilling will remove the nerve ends and any blood vessels that serve the tooth. What is left is a hole in the centre of the tooth, this is then filled with an antibacterial based substance, the most common used is Gutta-Percha which is a natural latex made from the sap of a tropical tree. Once the cavity is filled it is allowed to harden, then a
