Gum Disease Can Be Scary…
We typically think of our mouth as a vehicle for talking and eating. We overlook caring for it while attracting bacteria day in and day out. Some bad bacteria can attack your gums and teeth. This could start the early stages of gum disease, also medically termed periodontal disease, if not looked after.
Gum disease starts out with plaque build up. The plaque sticks to your teeth and at first is not visible to you. If you don't make regular trips to a dentist who will usually scrape it off during cleaning, then it can build up over time at extreme stages. When this happens it turns into a hard substance known as tarter. When tarter builds up it can only be removed during a cleaning as it is too hard for you to scrape away.
In the early stages of gum disease, you will experience swelling of the gums, and maybe light bleeding as you brush. This stage is called gingivitis. Overtime, if you haven't sought treatment, the bone and tissue deteriorate, and teeth often become loose and may need to be removed, or they eventually fall out. This stage is called periodontitis. Another sign that goes along with this is bad breath. To prevent this from happening, the starting place is protecting your gums.
In most cases you can prevent gum disease. The rule of thumb for good oral hygiene allows you to take matters into your own hands. Brush after every meal, include flossing. Maintain a regular schedule for cleaning with your Dentist, twice a year is the norm. Even if you have noticed early stages of gum disease , a quick trip to your Dentist who will begin the necessary diagnostic in treatment will help you fight this off.
The good news is that gum disease is preventable. Attention to everyday oral hygiene including brushing, flossing and cleanings by your professional two times a yearly may be the only steps necessary to prevention.
With these measures, you'll be successful keeping your teeth and gums healthy.

Guar Gum Powder 10 lb box: HE $141.03 Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. This is our BULK DISCOUNTED 10 lb plastic-lined cardboard bulk pack. We also have this herb at a further discount in our 25 lb pack, and in 1 lb bottles and capsules. To find the other pack sizes, just copy and paste the herb name into our Search. Other common names: Guar, Guar Flour, Jaguar Gum, Guara, Cluster Bean Guar Gum is a water-soluble, dietary fiber that binds with and absorbs undesirable intestinal substances, including excess cholesterol, glucose and toxins, and removes them from the system. Moreover, its high-bulking laxative action stimulates healthy bowel function, relieves chronic constipation, and helps to control colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, diverticulosis and other bowel ailments. Its bulking action may also help in weight loss programs by filling the intestines and giving one the feeling of fullness and reducing the appetite. History: Guar Gum is a water-soluble, dietary fiber that is mechanically extracted from the seed of the Guar bean by mechanical separation of the endosperm from hulls and germs of the seeds. The Guar shrub is a coarse, summer-growing, leguminous annual that is probably native to India and is widely distributed across Africa and Asia, and found cultivated in small quantities the United States and Australia. It is deep-rooted and well adapted to semiarid regions; and in India, when farmers realized its drought-tolerance, they grew it as a forage crop for cattle, which gave the plant is name, Guar, meaning ''cattle fodder.'' Food reserves are stored in the beans as a gum, which, when extracted, forms viscous solutions that gel in cold water. The development of Guar's industrial uses took place mainly after World War II, when traditional suppliers of locust bean gum were unable to meet the increasing demand for water-soluble polymers. Guar Gum is a cold-water-soluble polysaccharide, consisting of mannose and galactose units. The ability to hydrate without heating makes it useful in many industrial, food, and medicinal applications. It is used as an emulsifier and stabilizer because it prevents oil droplets from coalescing. The largest market for Guar Gum is in the food industry, where it is used as a thickener and binder of free water in sauces, salad dressings, ice creams, instant noodles, processed cheeses and meats, to name a few. Guar Gum is widely used commercially in the textile and paper industries, where it is employed as sizing to improve finishing and density of papers and fabrics. In addition, it is used as a waterproofing agent in the explosives industry and also in oil drilling and mining industries. In the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sector, Guar Gum is employed as a thickener and stabilizer in toothpastes, shampoos |
