Let me begin by stating the obvious, which many people don't realize regarding gum diseases. The root cause of nearly all gum ailments--caries, gingivitis, bleeding gums, etc are caused by a bacterial infection in your mouth. These bacteria colonize your gums and teeth and live and multiply by consuming the food we eat, but especially sugars and carbs which is why we are told since birth how bad it is to eat sugar and not brush your teeth before going to sleep for example. The reason why gums keep deteriorating despite our best efforts to brush and use washes (and in my case, years of increased hygiene on my part) is because this is ultimately a progressive infection. Like all bacterial infections, if left untreated at the source they can and will progress towards irreparable damage. We all know some infections can kill you in days like anthrax, or slowly for 20 years like syphillis. Gum disease is like the latter. We can cure those infections and plenty more with antibiotics, so why then I thought is there no obvious treatment for gum disease which is caused by a bacterial infection in the same way? Well...it turns out there actually is a cure. It has been known since at least 2002 and since with numerous studies published by Walter J. Loesche et al. Look up "The nonsurgical treatment of patients with gum disease: results after five years.” From the article:
"RESULTS: The initial treatment benefits were sustained, as the number of teeth needing periodontal surgery or extraction was 0.06 teeth per patient after 1.1 year, 0.22 after 2.3 years, 0.51 after 3.6 years and 0.86 after 5.1 years. CONCLUSIONS: A noninvasive treatment regimen for an anaerobic infection in teeth seriously compromised by gum disease resulted in a reduced need for surgery or tooth extraction for at least five years after completion of the initial treatment"
What is the treatment? A one week course of 500mg of Metronidazole twice a day. A cheap and readily available antibiotic in since the 1960s. This cured my gum disease exactly as this study proved. 3 days after beginning treatment I noticed a reduction in blood after brushing of 75% and by day 7 there was not a drop of blood when I spit out the toothpaste for the first time in at least 5 years. I broke down and cried before I could even swish my mouth with water. I was that overcome with emotion. I literally could not believe what I was seeing. Not only has the bleeding stopped completely but the tartar buildup has gone away as the bacteria was exterminated. I did not even remember what a healthy mouth tasted and felt like anymore. You do not need to try anything else, and you do not need to get your teeth pulled out before it is actually the very last resort, which orthodontists do not tell you since they are not even aware of these studies. There is a cure for gum disease. It is called Metronidazole, and in one week it cures it. Beg your GP for a prescription or acquire some through one of the better known overseas pharmacies. It is dirt cheap. It works. It is a miracle. It has changed my life and if you've kept reading this all the way to the end and I manage to change someone else's life before it's too late and the damage is irreparable I will be happy.

I could not afford regular dental care so I didn't go to the dentist again until my early forties. It was then I was told my gum disease was worse and that I would need deep cleanings every 3 months in order to save my teeth.
Once again, I could only afford one deep cleaning. With no insurance that costed about 1200 dollars.
I started researching like crazy what I could do on my own to help. I found information about blue LED lights killing gum disease bacteria (discovered after dentists noticing improved gum health after using blue lights to whiten teeth). Then about red light improving inflammation, circulation and healing. And infrared light that might even help regrow bone and gum tissue and help with pain and sensitivity. So I bought a DPL medical grade device mouth guard which has all three and started using it every day.
I finally went to the dentist again recently and was all prepared for more deep cleanings and bad news. I told her my grim history of gum disease and she almost did not seem to believe me! She said my gums were pink and healthy looking with little to no bleeding and that she wasn't "falling into any pockets" as she was cleaning my teeth. She said there was barely any plaque to clean off and that was after not going to the dentist in 6 years! I 100% contribute this to using the mouth light every night.
Unfortunately, I do have bone loss from my previous bout which showed on the x-ray and one tooth that has gum recession. She told me to put baking soda around the tooth twice a day and it would "strengthen" the bone that is there.
Between baking soda and the LED lights, my breath has never been better! I used to wake up with an awful taste in my mouth and I don't ever get that anymore. My teeth feel very smooth and look clean and white.
It seems that red light has many wonderful benefits to it and was discovered by NASA. It is even used by many practices now for all sorts of afflictions. I believe light therapy is at the forefront of future advancements to help many problems, gum disease being one of them.

One evening I swished my mouth with pure apple cider vinegar. After a few hours, I went to the bathroom and looked at my gums. I could not believe it. The redness has gone in 80%, and it looked like the gum started to heal. I'm so surprised this was the best remedy in weeks, will continue to use for a few days.

After reading posts from this website for gum ulcer remedies, I came across one using hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide completely eradicated my infection. This was after my dentist gave me 2 rounds of antibiotics ( 2 months apart) and the infection came back a 3rd time. This infection was very difficult to be rid of as it was under a permanent bridge. I used the 3% store grade 3x a day at first, for a few months. Now I just use it 2x a day to maintain a clean mouth after brushing and using my Waterpik flosser. I swoosh it around my mouth for 1 minute, then spit it out and rinse. It has also done wonders for eliminating plaque. I just had a dental checkup and my hygenist was very pleased. She said I had very little plaque. I am so happy the infection has not come back, and it's been 6 months since the last one. I did not want to go back on antibiotics since they weren't doing the job.
According to the following link
https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/collagen/
Several high-protein foods are believed to nurture collagen production because they contain the amino acids that make collagen—glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These include fish, poultry, meat, eggs, dairy, legumes, and soy.
Collagen production also requires nutrients like zinc, which is found in shellfish, legumes, meats, nuts, seeds, and whole grains; and vitamin C from citrus fruits, berries, leafy greens, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
According to the website https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/wheat-germs-vitamin-mineral-composition-9508.html, a quarter-cup serving of wheat germ offers 3.5 milligrams of zinc -- 44 percent of the recommended daily intake for women and 32 percent for men, according to intake guidelines set by the Institute of Medicine.
According to the website https://www.eatingwell.com/article/2052728/6-foods-with-more-vitamin-c-than-an-orange/ broccoli, kiwi, bell peppers, pineapple and papaya are high in vitamin C and other important nutrients.

You can try Glycine as an amino acid to help build collagen in the body. Glycine is the most abundant amino acid in collagen. There are other supplements that help the body form collagen such as Lysine, Proline, Threonine and Vitamin C and these can all be used with Glycine to increase collagen production in the body.

I have been tearing my hair out trying all kinds of protocols that should have worked such as Hydrogen Peroxide, Propolis (sleeping with cotton all of propolis against the gum), salt water rinses to name a few.
Anyway, I finally decided to try two new things. Clove which I have been rubbing against the gum and sometimes just resting a clove again against the gum. This definitely helps and I am thinking it is because it is anti parasitic?
But the missing link that I am really excited about is probiotics! There are special ones for oral health that you suck. Look for good quality/good reviews. Also have bought a good probiotic for gut health too. I feel it's all interconnected. Two days later I have no pus coming out of the gum for the first time in months. At bedtime, my protocol is rinse mouth with sea salt water, brush with propolis toothpaste, a really good clean using a water pick with bicarbonate soda (PH). Or you can just gargle and clean with it if you don't have a waterpic. Then finally I suck the oral probiotic.
Do some research on gum disease and probiotics and you will see there are quite a lot of compelling evidence it can help re populate the mouth with the right kind of bacteria to fight the bad... I'll report back in a while to say if it has really worked but I am feeling very encouraged by the past few days.
I am also during the day time rubbing some clove 'dust' against the gum.. this can also be clove oil but I am just using crushed up cloves.
If I had the money I would go straight back to the clinic I used to visit who did 2 hr laser therapy (I did about 6 sessions over a few months). This brought my pockets down from 8/10 to 2/3 and some bone regrowth, but sadly it has all come back again as not been able to visit them for a number of years.
Good luck anyone suffering too. Its a nightmare and upsetting to have such gum loss and potentially lose teeth later down line if I dont' get on top of it but hopeful this new protocol might be the missing link! TBD

In 2010 in my mid-50's, my gums would occasionally bleed and some of my teeth were slightly loose. A daily 500 mg capsule of hesperidin corrected both of these these problems. I would order capsules from SwansonVitamins or PipingRock, but now I order the 500 grram bag of hesperidin powder from BukSupplements and take just a level 1/4 measuring teaspoon which is about 500 mg mornings and evenings.
I also had sensitive teeth at the time, but 2 capsules twice per day of the NOW brand "Calcium Apatite Caps" corrects this and prevents cavities.

Tea Tree Oil

Anyway without getting into all that too much, I've found that tea tree oil diluted in high alcohol mouthwash does the trick. I don't know how toxic it is in this application though as I know the mouth absorbs things quite easily. Hopefully it's ok. But yes it does work about as well as chlorhexidine but without the change to sense of taste.
It's very odd because I find the high alcohol mouthwash on its own doesn't seem to work and the tea tree in water by itself doesn't seem to work either. So... I'm still experimenting!!
I am trying to find a better solution still though. Maybe hydrogen peroxide but I never had much success with that in the past. I'll try again :)
Multiple Remedies
1. Get teeth cleaned.
2. Use mouthwashes with salt water, or hydrogen peroxide diluted. There are other mouthwashes botanic that you can use as well.
My husband had old crowns and he had to have them replaced. I can say honestly the new ones are very good.

A couple of days later, I realized that my gums were more tender and bleeding a bit more than they had for weeks. This made me think that maybe the zinc picolinate had been helping my gums heal. I looked it up online to find that there are some studies suggesting a correlation between low zinc levels and bleeding gums.
I now take 100 mg of zinc picolinate in the morning and 100 mg in the evening and my mouth is loving it.

Today my gums no longer bleed. I was amazed at the results within only a few days. I realized that Gingivitis must be a bacterial issue.
Oil Pulling
Am thinking that 20 minutes of brushing each day may well be on the excessive side. Please know that a dentist's technician had also informed me years ago that my gums were in critical need of the "peeling back and scraping", and that I was "at risk of possible heart problems" among other unpleasantness because of this. My intuition strongly shouted "No", and during a second dental exam at another dentist's office I was subsequently assured that my gums were all perfectly fine. There are way too many doctors and dentists who think we're all money cows. No surprise really, as the medical industry is the 5th largest on Earth.
Having said that, you could well be in need of the procedure, though perhaps a second opinion from a reputable dentist's office may be in order for you. Am suggesting: Just saying "No" to the dark fear tactics so commonly employed by the medical industry as a whole. Darkness is parasitic in nature and it feeds on fear. Without fear it cannot feed and it flees. Am wishing you well.
