If you are looking to potentially prevent gum disease and live a better life “dentally”, continue reading. The National institute of dental and craniofacial research states: Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It’s typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque to build up on teeth. Plaque is a sticky biofilm that develops on teeth as a result of the bacteria that naturally live in the mouth. Inflammation is a large factor and indicator in gum disease..

Stages of Gum Disease | Periodontitis

There are four stages when it comes to gum disease which then can lead to advanced periodontitis if left untreated. The first stage is simply gum inflammation with no bone loss. Stages two and three involve slight to moderate inflammation which includes bleeding gums. This then causes progressing bone loss. The last stage is advanced periodontitis: heavy bleeding, pain and discomfort, and bone loss from the tooth root.

Gum disease is also known as periodontal disease occurs when inflammation and infection are present, leading to a weaker gum and bone structure. The CDC reports that around 47% of Americans aged 30 years and older already have some form of gum disease. Additionally, 70% of adults 65 and older already have periodontal disease. So what exactly causes gum disease? Bacteria. When there is food or particles in your mouth that are not cleaned or removed when brushing or flossing, this bacteria may turn into plaque. If plaque remains, it will turn to a harder form called tartar or calculus. This makes your teeth much more difficult to clean, which means having a dentist remove it for you during your dental cleaning appointment.

Symptoms of Gum Disease

There are many signs of poor dental health leading to gum disease. The following warning signs provided by the CDC include painful chewing, sensitive teeth, gums that have pulled away from your teeth, tender or bleeding gums, bad breathe, swollen gums, and loose teeth. What leads to this? Several factors can lead to gum disease including if you have crooked teeth, stress, poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, and more!

Prevention

Fortunately, there are ways to prevent periodontal disease from occurring. The most essential steps you can take right now is ensuring that you are brushing and flossing every day in order to remove the bacteria.

Chance are, you have heard of CBD being talked about over the news, sold in a variety of stores and farmers markets, and spread all over the web. CBD is short for cannabidiol which is the non-psychoactive chemical compound from cannabis. It can be derived from both hemp and cannabis. What is CBD used in? It is typically seen in tinctures, edibles, vapes, cosmetics, and now toothpaste to help with inflammation, seizures, nausea, anxiety, pain, and more!

All cannabinoids, including CBD, produce effects in the body by attaching to certain receptors. CBD directly interacts with the endocannabinoid system and a number of proteins in the body and central nervous system. The endocannabinoid system contains two types of receptors, CB1, which is predominantly expressed in the brain and CB2, which is primarily found on the cells of the immune system. Most cannabinoids can bind to both types of receptors- CB1 & CB2. This is true for both the endocannabinoids – anandamide & 2-AG- and for phytocannabinoids like THC. However, the phytocannabinoid CBD doesn’t directly trigger either receptor. Instead, it modifies the receptor’s ability to bind to cannabinoids.

Our signature CBD Dent Fluoride Free Mint Toothpaste contains CBD(Cannabidiol), and CBG (cannabigerol). CBD has been shown in various studies to reduce inflammation and pain. It also has been shown to have antibacterial properties. CBG could stimulate bone growth as well as have antibacterial properties. The possible benefits of cannabinoids should help reduce inflammation and bad bacteria that can cause gum disease. CBG could also stimulate bone growth to help with periodontal disease in some cases.
