The basics of oral hygiene and dental care for people with bad breath and bleeding gums
There are different types of toothpaste on the market. Some are specifically designed for people with bleeding gums and bad breath.
Fluoride and toothpaste: these two ingredients can help prevent cavities and also reduce the amount of plaque on your teeth. Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens your teeth by making them more resistant to acid attacks, while toothpaste helps remove stains from your teeth.
Toothpaste: This type of toothpaste contains hydrogen peroxide that helps kill bacteria that cause bad breath, gum disease and other oral problems. Toothpaste also contains potassium nitrate that helps reduce inflammation caused by bleeding gums. The AAP has issued a warning that children under 12 should avoid this product because it can cause serious health problems.
Treatment options for gum disease
Gum disease is a common dental problem that can be treated with a variety of treatment options.
Scalpless dentistry is the latest innovation in dental treatment and has been gaining popularity since it was first introduced in the 1990s. One of its benefits is that it causes less trauma to teeth and gums than other forms of treatment, meaning there is less risk of gum recession. This treatment option also offers faster recovery time for patients who have undergone surgery for gum recession and for those who experience chronic pain from periodontitis.
