This has scared me because I dont want my teeth dropping out! I am going to keep my mouth spotless after my scaling and cleaning but want to know has anyone else been told their teeth are loose and they dont feel like they are? Is it too late for me lol?

I Cured My Gum Disease With Jarrah Honey
My gum disease cure. I am thirty years old. When I was 27 I was told that I had advanced periodontal disease. At the time I had been reading about Australian Jarrah honey. I began flossing my teeth with it, pushing the honey deep down into the periodontal pockets. I was flossing three or four times a day and within weeks my gums had stopped bleeding. The pockets slowly began to close up. Three years on I a virtually pocket free. I only have one small pocket remaining. The worst one I had is now about a third of the size it used to be. Over the last three years I have had no cavities develop. If you cannot get jarrah honey, find the most medicinal honey available in your country, or E mail me and I may be able to help. It is also a good idea to look at why the disease developed in the first place eg, vitamin c deficiency. Good luck.

Chilli,

I have "moderate-to-advanced" periodontitis. I've been told I had a tooth that was very loose, but it doesn't really feel like it. I think dentists have a different standard of determining what's lose than we do.

I am getting over a major tooth infection and some of my teeth have been feeling slightly loose lately, but I'm not sure how much that's a false sensation. See my comment to Heather on this forum, re: dentures.

I moderate an almost inactive forum and write a column on it with lots of info called "My Periodontitis Diary":

If clicking onto the above doesn't work, try typing or pasting it in your address bar.

Good luck.

Jarrah Honey
I have a loose tooth and receeding gums. I can feel a pocket at the roof of my mouth where the loose tooth is. How do you stop this thing? Can honey alone do this?

what cause periodontal disease is plaque (food bacteria that live in our mouth) when this plaque stay for a long time near thegums it cause inflamation on the gums and inflamation cause bon loss and bleeding. Removing this plaque daily with the floss prevents periodontal disease formation a progression, that medical honey it is not the one that get rid of the periodontal disease ,the thing is that when you floss with that honey you are FLOSSING the plaque away at the same time so relieving your gums from what is causing the inflamation.

And NO dont use bee honey because it contains sugar and you will be nourishing the bacterias so you will end with more periodontal disease and also a lot of cavities.


hope that this information help !

Treating Advanced Gum Disease
To all who think they may have the symptons of gum disease here are my tips
1.If you smoke give up and this will help in your treatment.
2. Get a good dentist who you want to devise a treatmant plan with, it will cost but I think keeping your teeth is the bigger cost.
3. Eat anything with Vitamin A,C,D and E.
4. Get an electric toothbrush , use a sensitive toothpaste start off with flossing but Te-Pe are better to use but make sure they fit your teeth.Get a good mouth wash and use uptwice a day.
5. Start with the treatment plan, deep pocket descaling, no pain means no gain and start to aim to reduce the pocket sizes, bleeding and plaque.
6. Extra advise brush straight after eating, flush also by drinking water and when not possible use gum recognised by the dentist board.
7. Finally give it time.

I have been having traetment now for 6 months the results are fantastic I halved the gum disease and reduced plaque and my teeth do not bleed anymore. I have further treatment to go and I want to be 100% free of gum disease and it will probably take another 6 months.

Good Luck , don't give up it could cost you your smile
