Gum Disease

There isn't really a best brand of toothpaste. The best brand of toothpaste is according to the person who uses it. For example, person A may like Oral-B, but person B may like Crest. So there really is no good or bad toothpaste.

Some people suffer from body odor as a result of poor personal hygiene. This includes failure to wash thoroughly, failure to use deodorants and antiperspirants, etc. Additional contributors to body odor can come from failure to wear fresh clothing, underwear, socks, t-shirts, etc. And finally, poor oral hygiene can cause halitosis (bad breath). The common source of many of these odors is bacteria that are growing in or on the body, such as in the warm and moist area in your armpits or in the gums from improper or no regular oral hygiene.

The above can be described as life-style choices. However, another experience people can sometimes encounter is culturally based. In a country or region where diet includes high concentrates of fish, oysters, prawns, conch, etc, the natural oils that seep through the skin in perspiration from that type of diet body can conflict with the odors from a person of a culture whose diet may be wholly carnivorous, (beef, pork, lamb, etc), as fats and oils from those meats can emit a wholly different odor than seafood. Other diet ingredients, including curry powders, chiles, garlic, asparagus, etc. can also affect the "natural patina" of someone.

And, there is the possibility of odor accumulation in fabrics, especially nylon and polyester clothing. Despite how creatively laundry detergent manufacturers scream that their product removes stains, etc, through cold-water washes, the truth is, removal of accumulated body oils and other odor-retaining soils may require a more vigorous wash cycle, including use of hot water. Sometimes the bad odor you have lingering in your workout clothes, for example, is the odor of bacteria or fungi/yeasts that are not being properly removed during washing in cold water and have begun to build up. It may even require a small amount of chlorine bleach to get rid of odors like these (once and for all) in fabrics when the smell is produced by microorganisms.

Tooth decay is a common health problem, second in prevalence only to the common cold. It has been estimated that 90% of people in the United States have at least one cavity, and that 75% of people had their first cavity by the age of five

The yellow may be staining, she might not be brushing them too well(like most kids). Make sure she is brushing with a soft bristle brush twice a day, at least, and for one full minute at least. Most kids brush for 20 seconds and the bristles aren't really coming in direct contact with all the surfaces of all their teeth.

Nicorette gum contains nicotine, the addictive ingredient in cigarettes. While nicotine does not 'cause' gum disease, it has been shown to contribute to the severity of the disease.

Nicotine is toxic to cells called fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are cells that create and rebuild connective tissue in the body. Connective tissue is destroyed in gum disease, and when fibroblast function is impaired by nicotine, the body's ability to fight off the disease is significantly limited. Therefore, gum disease generally tends to be more severe in people who ingest or inhale nicotine.

it can be an ulcer. some people have a gum problem where they get these quite often. they sell small bottles of ointment to put on it that you apply with a brush. and if it hurts when you eat you can get Orabase made by Colgate and that will temporarily cover up the ulcer while you eat so the food can't reach it and irritate it.

ANUG is the abbreviation for Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis, a relatively severe and painful infection of the gums.

It is very serious and if it starts to turn to a burnt black color then it is caused by smokeless tobacco and soon after the black spots takeover the white spots you can and will die! It doesn't take that long! If you get these symptoms I would go to a doctor and STOP USING SMOKELESS TOBACCO OR EVEN SMOKING CIGARETTES!!!!

it is not a law

It is always best to brush your teeth twice a day, to keep your mouth healthy.

Not illness just bad breath germs and bacteria

Gum Disease can be prevented by maintaining good oral hygiene.

There are several types of gum diseases. The first is called gingivitis, which can, without treatment and care, become the more advanced version called periodontitis. Gingivitis is relatively easy to fix, but can be prevented through proper brushing and flossing techniques. Another gum problem, although it is not a disease, is called receding gums. This is when the gums slowly pull away from the teeth. It occurs from one of two ways: overbrushing or not brushing enough. You can tell if you have gingivitis or periodontitis if your gums are red, swollen, and bleed to the touch. Receding gums can be identified when too much of the tooth is exposed, and the tooth is too far into the gums.

My 4 year old niece fell hard on the ground and hit her face. When she got up she was bleeding from her gum right over her 2 upper front teeth. She keeps saying her teeth are hurting but I'm not sure if she really means teeth or she just doesn't know the difference between teeth and gum but either way should this be something to worry about? Her teeth seem normal though, just some tumering from the fall.

What should be done in such case before considering taking her to a doctor/dentist?

I haven't heard of this occurring, No. But to be sure speak to your doctor. :o)

Unlikely, unless maybe the abscess enters the brain. But more general problems would be expected then.
