Improving Gum Health with Propolis Posted: 01-30-06 00:07am
I have never had any dental problems. A
few months ago I developed gingivitus
according to my dentist. Some of my gums
receded and it scared me. Since then I
have been following a rigid oral health
regime. I floss, brush twice a day and use
mouthwash. My gums are at a stalemate.
They dont get any worse but they stay
puffy. Any ideas for how to improve their
health? My dentist keeps telling me to
just keep brushing .. but they dont seem
to get an better. ANy help would be
appreciated.
Thanks

You can try propolis, a by-product of bees
for helping to improve the health of your
gums.
