Gum disease is the cause of Alzheimers.

[Dave24]

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is also associated with heart disease. Brehs...you need to be flossing, daily. You need to brush twice a day. Drink your water. And go to the dentist. Make sure your dentist is perio charting your gums: that means they are measuring the depths between each tooth to ensure your gums (and bones) are healthy. Periodontal disease is very expensive to deal with, and there is no cure. What you can do is PREVENT getting it by keeping your shyt clean.

If you get periodontal disease does that mean you will get alzheimers?

More like floss...which is my struggle...I can do it about 3 nights a week, but lord I’m too tired to do it every night. I need to up my flossing game as well as get back on the listerine

Try getting a waterpik (I think it's called) you basically floss with pressurized water

Yea, been meaning to get one. It’s not a replacement for flossing but definitely a good 1-2 combo, especially this nights I don’t want to floss

i've been fukkin wtih the tumeric paste for a while now. i do that before my toothpaste brushing.

edit: and i've never had any gingivitis or receding gums issues. my dentist is always impressed.

interesting...what do you add to the tumeric

interesting...what do you add to the tumeric

same that the link recommended:

To treat gums, the journal reported that researchers recommend applying a paste made of one teaspoon of turmeric, half a teaspoon of salt and half teaspoon of mustard oil. This should be done twice a day.


edit: oh and the paste is for your gums. i used my finger the first time, but tumeric stains (not permanent of course), so after that i just used a second soft bristle toothbrush for massaging my gums with the paste.

This pretty much sums it up. I unfortunately have a “mild” case of periodontal and yes they do the charting to see how much bone is lost or separated from gum. I do use an electric brush, an Oral-B, though I really should spend the money and upgrade. That waterpik is a good addition as well.

During Royal Rumble in Sunday, I was also watching this PBS special “Memory Rescue” on all the things that affect memory and caused Alzheimer’s, and gum disease was definitely discussed. I knew of the heart issues before, but didn’t realize the brain issues until getting my deep cleaning a couple years back.

All jokes aside, sorry that you're going through that.

Alzheimer's and dementia are conditions I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Mediterranean diet?

I googled earlier a little and vegetables/fruit/water/tea/black coffee/ sports drinks() were all recommended

Gum disease is also linked to heart disease. Brush your teeth brehs.

Floss after every meal. The food stuck between your teeth become bacteria then it travels to the heart and brain.

Any time I have bad breath it's usually food between my teeth. It starts to break down and causes the odor.
