Make it a part of your daily routine for strong teeth and healthy gums.

 

Common Causes and Risk factors of Gum Disease: Plaque buildup is the primary cause of gum disease. If left untreated, it hardens into tartar, irritating the gums and leading to gingivitis and eventually periodontitis. Common Risk factors for gum diseases include smoking, diabetes, and poor oral hygiene. Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is characterized by inflammation, redness, and  Bleeding and swollen gums. If gingivitis is not addressed, it can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease where the gums pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that can become infected. This can eventually lead to Alveolar bone loss, teeth mobility and tooth loss. Smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease, as it impairs the immune system and makes it harder for the gums to heal. Diabetes also increases the risk of gum disease due to its effect on blood sugar control and immune function. Genetic predisposition can also play a role in some individuals.

The Ayurvedic Advantage for Healthy Gums: Ingredients like clove and neem possess antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help combat gum disease. Clove’s analgesic properties soothe inflammation, while neem fights bacterial growth. Dabur Red Paste incorporates these powerful herbs to support gum health naturally. Furthermore, the IDA Seal of Acceptance awarded to Dabur Red Paste emphasizes its ability to provide comprehensive gum care. These natural ingredients can complement other gum health practices.

 

Tips for Preventing Gum Disease: Tips for preventing gum disease include brushing daily with a tested and trusted product like Dabur Red Paste and flossing to remove plaque. Proper brushing technique, including cleaning along the gum line, is essential. Flossing daily helps remove plaque from between the teeth, where a toothbrush can't reach. Regular dental check-ups for early intervention are critical. These check-ups include professional cleanings that remove tartar buildup and allow dentists to assess gum health. Maintaining a balanced diet to support gum health is also important. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides essential nutrients for gum tissue. Using herbal mouth rinses can also help prevent gum infections. Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption is crucial for gum health.
