How Do You Stop Bleeding Gums, Gingivitis, Periodontitis?
• Realize that this is a wound to your body – the same as an infected cut on your arm. You must eliminate the cause – keep the wound clean. Many people own an electric oral irrigator of some sort. It usually gets stored in the same place – under the sink gathering dust. Out of sight – out of mind. If there was a small cut on your hand that bled every time you washed your hands, it wouldn’t take you long to get to the doctor. The same thing is going on in your mouth, however you don’t see it (but you can sure smell it). Luckily, there is a simple and inexpensive way to clean those pockets every day. Electric counter top oral irrigation units just don’t get used as often as they should. • Use an oral irrigator that attaches to your shower head or sink faucet allows users to flush particles out which are trapped between the teeth and under the gum line. • Make a rinse with one ounce of hydrogen peroxide and one ounce of warm water. Slosh the liquid around in your mouth for 15 to 20 second
