What is the treatment of periodontal?
Hi, Generally, very basic line of treatment or the first thing to do in any periodontal disease or condition is oral prophylaxis/ cleaning/ dental scaling. Then the further treatment will be according to the severity or condition of the periodontal disease, which are (in order of less severity to more severity) root planing, deep curettage, flap surgeries with or without bone grafting. Most important thing in periodontal treatment rather in any gums related treatment is maintaining the gum condition after treatment by proper brushing, regular use of antiseptic mouthwash and other things which are specified by dentist after that particular treatment.
Can baking soda cure gum disease?
No, baking soda cannot 'cure' gum disease (periodontal disease). Currently, there is no universal cure for gum disease. Gum disease can usually be effectively 'controlled' with proper care and treatment, but once periodontal disease has been diagnosed, the signs and symptoms can return at any time. Periodontal disease is differentiated from simple gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) by the loss of periodontal attachment, that is the destruction of the tissue surrounding the teeth that attach the tooth to the jaw. A dentist or dental hygienist can examine your teeth and gums and tell you if you have periodontal disease or gingivitis. Baking soda can be incorporated into the treatment of gum disease, but has never been demonstrated to be effective in the control of gum disease by itself. The first step in controlling gum disease is determining the cause of the disease and the extent of the condition. The most common cause of gum disease is long-term poor oral hygiene and lack of professional care in a dental office. If caught early, gum disease can usually be controlled with improved oral hygiene and non-surgical treatment in a dental office. If the disease is advanced or severe, sometimes surgery is necessary to get the condition under control. Other factors that impact gum disease include smoking, worn out dental fillings or crowns, systemic conditions such as diabetes, a family history of gum disease (genetic predisposition), some medications, and inadequate nutrition. The best course of action is to see a qualified dentist and follow his/her advice.
Where does Legionnaires' Disease get its name from?

Is Gingivostomatitis contagious?
Periodontal Disease is not ContagiousPeriodontal disease is a multi-faceted disease. The initiating factors are primarily oral bacteria, and these bacteria can be spread from person to person. So, in that respect, periodontal disease is technically 'infectious' because it takes direct contact (person-to-person, intimate kissing) or vector contact (sharing a toothbrush for example) to spread the bacteria. Being in close proximity, such as working in the same room with someone with periodontal disease is not enough to contract the disease. The other leading risk factors that determine whether someone will develop the disease are as follows:1. Are you a smoker? Over 50% of people with advanced perio disease are either current or former smokers. Smoking, among other things, inhibits the body's defenses from fighting the disease.2. Underlying chronic systemic disease, such as diabetes. Conditions like diabetes interfere with the body's natural defenses and healing.3. Family history. It has been shown there is a genetic predisposition to developing periodontal disease. As much as 30% of the adult population may be genetically predisposed to periodontal disease.4. Oral hygiene. Inadequate oral hygiene practices (not enough brushing, flossing, etc.) allow the oral bacteria to thrive.5. Irregular or non-existent professional care. Over time, personal oral hygiene is simply not enough to ward off periodontal disease for most people. Routine preventive and periodontal therapy by a qualified dental professional can go a long way in helping avoid the consequences of periodontal disease. They can also recommend strategies specific to your particular situation.6. Age. The older a person is, the greater risk for developing perio disease.7. Medications. Certain medications can interfere with the body's natural defenses against periodontal disease. Examples would be drugs that cause xerostomia (dry mouth) or drugs that cause hypertrophic tissue growth, such as Dilantin or other anti-seizure medications. Discuss your particular situation with your healthcare provider before stopping or changing any medical therapy.Some risk factors are controllable (smoking, oral hygiene, professional care) and others are not (genetics, age). Work with your dental professional to control those factors you can, and forget about those you cannot.Periodontal disease is a chronic, inflammatory, progressive, degenerative condition that has been shown to be the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. While it is not curable, it can, in most cases, be controlled with adequate personal oral hygiene and appropriate professional care.Don't worry, you cannot contract periodontal disease simply from being with someone who has the disease.But One Exceptionyou kiss someone who has advanced periodontal disease, there could be a transfer of microorganisms that cause the disease.

Fiber and the Diabetic Diet?
Eat more fiber! Dietary fiber offers three main benefits to diabetics. First, fiber expands in the stomach. This creates a sensation of satiation and thereby promotes weight loss. Second, fiber helps to clean the vascular system and lower your risk of heart disease. Third, fibrous foods assist with blood sugar control. Some healthful foods that are high in fiber include fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds. Apples, avocados, bananas and cashews are among the highest-fiber options.
