My Experience With SEVERE Gum Disease (Periodontal disease diagnoses, treatments & natural healing)

[@PetrenaSchell]

If any of you are interested to hear how my journey has progressed since this video, here is an update video for you:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnmcq6RpabucjKM Wishing you all amazing health!✨️

[@TXMimi09]

I am turning 52 and knew I had some minor gum disease. I did 2 root scaling at a clinic. No one gave me hope. My deepest pocket was a 7. After watching your video I’m going to start taking better care of my gums. My was from family history plus smoking in my 20’s too. Thank you for sharing. I’m ordering what I need and making an appointment with a periodontist. Thx again for help those of us that are older and really worried. .

[@pureheart8666]

Hi do you have to go back for cleaning every 4 months for periodental disease .my hygienest told me I need to do deep cleaning every 4 months for my periodental disease and I was wondering if u do the same ?

[@JoseGonzalez-ed4hq]

They probably wanted it to get worse to make more money off u ..or just didn't care

[@pureheart8666]

What do you mean by they probably want it to get worse ?

[@JoseGonzalez-ed4hq]

@@pureheart8666 because think about if yor problem gets worse it's more work for them just like I've met people who would do a free checkup on something on your house and he would just break something to get himself work get it people do this all the time n they lie about stuff how r u going to know just like my heart problems when I went to doc in prison they said I have heart problems n I need to be careful or I'll die out here while I'm free they say I'm fine and wanted me to run a actually they wanted me to take drugs uppers an injection I think not . And I looked up stories online nurses complaining about what they are forced to do and stories of patients that they just didn't care telling them to eat alot more salt 🧂 y too make it worse because if u take the medicine they have it makes the heart 25 percent more stronger if they gave it to u maybe if it's at that percentage it would cure u but if it's bad you'll still have the problem and need meds n appointments. America likes to treat not cure

Periodontal disease is a wake up call. Thank you for making this video for us. Teeth are soooo important.

[@maxxwellbeing5208]

Same here. My gums were receding, I never had cavities, I'd got regular cleanings, and nobody said anything. Nothing about gum disease was ever mentioned, just that my gums were receding. I had to ask what should I do? He said, we could do regular cleanings..so I did that. Expensive. I was going every 2 months. The dentist filled the top of my teeth because my gums receded so much. My teeth started to get crooked, my pockets where 9 in some spots too. Finally I was getting sick of spending so much money and said how do were stop this. He tells me, "Oh, did you want me to book you in to see a specialist?" WTF? Yes I want this fixed. I went to the specialist and he looked at my file and just shook his head. He said if they would have referred me to him years ago, we could have avoided all the bone loss,constant appointments and saved my teeth. ( which are getting crooked, my front teeth are lose but he said extremely well maintained) He said some dentists do this without giving the referral because the constant cleaning make the a lot of money. The more problems you have the more money they make. So if a specialist fixes the problem. Less money for them. Now I could lose two, possibly 4 of my front top teeth, and my 4 teeth directly below due to gum disease and bone loss. I would suggest that IF anyone has any gum recession, request a referral to a gum specialist immediately. Remember, it's a business, they're out to make money and some could care less how many teeth you could lose because they will just make more money off of you. Thanks for this video. Good information.

[@scrogathon]

Just experienced this with my dentist. I spent over 5 thousand in the last three months fixing my cavities and having a deep clean done. My gums were still inflamed so he finally referred me to a specialist who even went as far as saying the hygienist was lousy and they missed lots of plaque. He said he will need to do surgery to help me now 😢

[@aidamtabirao2811]

This, video saved my gums and teeth. I had severe gum disease, I went straight in booking an appointment to my dentist after watching this video as this finally persuaded me to deal with issue of my bleeding/ receding gums. My dentist stopped my gum disease over a period of 8 months, across multiple appointments. To a point where he said it was 96% gone and bone/ gum tissue is growing back. that was nearly 2 years ago now and I am still gum disease free after massively improving my oral hygiene.

[@PetrenaSchell]

Oh my gosh, this makes me so happy to hear!🙌💕

[@Lilyofthevalleyys]

Did you have periodontal disease? How many times did you go see your dentist?

[@elisareyes8371]

How did your dentist stop the disease?

[@aidamtabirao2811]

@@elisareyes8371 I had deep cleaning done which required scaling around my gum line and teeth. This was done in 2 sessions, top and bottom (I chose this option than doing it all at once). After which I had 2 follow up session to check my oral hygiene X-rays etc. one of session required my teeth to be lightly cleaned again. But it was just a matter of maintaining a good oral hygiene after the two deep cleaning sessions. It took about 11 months to go from periodontal disease to being stopped and 96% gone with about 1 month gap between the deep cleaning sessions. Although gum disease will never go away after getting it, if you maintain a strict oral hygiene routine then it will likely not relapse. I got braces now to fix the overcrowding and my bite which required getting 1 teeth removed to facilitate this. Which will further help prevent gum disease coming back since cleaning will be easier.

[@rachelross5829]

I was diagnosed last week with periodontitis, not advanced but still past the gingivitis stage. I’ve been a bit down about it and it’s so comforting to see how positive and proactive you are. I have an appointment next week for an hour long clean and do feel good about taking action.

[@hazelnuteyes]

Hi loves. Im so sorry this happened to you. How are you doing now? And what was your periodontitis symptoms? My dentist told me my gums are swollen but she didnt say it was periodontitis or maybe i didnt hear her well bc she was talking to me during the scaling 🙄 but ye im super scared bc mine has been inflamed for a year and i only found out its swollen gums. The dentist told me to take care of my oral hygiene, floss everyday and use soft bristles. I hope to hear your reply from you soon

[@bigbang259]

i stopped or cured idk mine with antiparasitic herbs, wormwood + clove mixture. That's parasites in the gums, they feed on blood sells. The body is trying to kill them hence bone loss. Dr mark bonner told me that

[@Diaryofyoyo]

Same ! I have a cleaning this morning I am nervous don’t know what’s going to happen. My old dentist said I had gingivitis but then said it cleared up and said my medicine I take was irritating my gums a bit when to another dentist because they seemed terrible and now have chronic periodontal disease I wish the previous dentist was better. It made me feel so done afterward

[@trix4487]

​@TheJagaNut how did it go?

[@Diaryofyoyo]

@@trix4487 it went actually really well. I didn’t get any areas numbed I kinda just took the pain. My gums flared up a little bit here and there after but now stable and just flossing brushing and tee pee sticks just making sure no food is left between my teeth so it doesn’t get bad again. She said I shouldn’t need this treatment again and should heal up well because I had already been doing a much better job. My dentist was a private one in the uk though and cost £365 pounds so was expensive but I notice a big difference tbh especially on the inflamed gums. I’m seeing more triangles on my teeth but that’s just because the inflammation is going down now and I am seeing the gum loss slightly but it’s not too bad visually on my teeth but is different. But at least now my gums are becoming healthy

Hands down the best video I have seen on overcoming Periodontal disease. I have heard of all these methods to help with oral health. This smart cookie put it all together and used all the tricks at once. Happy for you and it Wonderful that you are here to encourage others to march forward. My story is different. All my life I suffered with severe depression. What comes with that is a very low drive to "live". All my dentist told me how "bad" I was, How bad my teeth were. If I had a dentist that encouraged me I may have felt more drive to brush and floss. I had a negative association with Oral health since I was a child. I have severe periodontist, my dentist told me to go search for a peridontist that takes my insurance. He was 3 hours away and I am low income. Sadly I do not have the drive this gal does or the income to support all the tools needed for better oral health. Please be encouraged by her and do all that you can to better your oral health. She has proved that the work does pay off.

[@VardhanDental]

Being a periodontist i truly appreciate your efforts in taking care of your oral health and educating other and encouraging them on this journey. As periodontal diseases are mostly hiddenn and painless in nature but have serious issues in their advanced stages of the disease. Most patients neglect as it is only some kind of discomfort and has no pain thinking it will go on its own. We give advice in the best intrest of patients, but most of them think in terms of business. But, It is their wisdom to take an informed decison before hand rather than going for extensive and expensive replacement of teeth insted.Please don't neglect your oral hygiene once the problem is solved, maintain oral hygiene protocol

@@PetrenaSchell is severe periodontitis actually treatable 100% as a lot of people say it isnt but it probably is regardless of how severe it is, because if you get rid of the infection completely then you've got rid of the gum diseas as its an infection oin your mount so if you treat it it should be done. Have you got rid of your gum disease?

[@gregh7457]

I had swollen gums and my wife bought a water pic. I love that thing and wish i had found out about them sooner. I toss in some listerine mouthwash and peroxide and blast around the gum areas. At first there was lots of blood and yes i brushed every day but it just wasn't cutting it. Anyways, no more blood and puffy gums

Thank you so much for telling us all the things to help with peridontal disease.

[@stealthvegan]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I also have advanced gum disease & it was a shock to find this out. My gums have always been red & inflamed but my regular dentist never said anything apart from brush twice a day & floss. I’ve now lost 70% of bone in my jaw. Not to be alarmist but I do suggest to those in the same situation to have a bone density scan. I did this and have been diagnosed with osteopenia & am very close to osteoporosis. I was diagnosed at 48 which is very young. I’m also now peri-menopausal which further complicates things as the change in hormones is known to make gum disease and osteopenia/osteoporosis worse. I live in a constant state of anxiety about what the future looks like & it is hard to be positive but we must. Sending love & healing energy to all.

And then you have to start going in for regular cleanings. And brush and floss twice a day.

You litterally went DEFCON 1 on your gums and used every weapon out there to fight periodontitis. Kudos! One thing to remind you though, D3 will NEVER absorb in the body unless you have sufficient magnezium levels. It is not omega 3, but magnezium that helps our bodies receptors to activate calcium absorption.

Infections should be taken seriously and I immediately started an extensive cleaning regime in and around that bridge...My infections have disappeared and everything is well....What I've learned is some dentists are more interested in money than your health...Sorry to say

Hi petrena! Thank u for sharing this topic because I was just last friday diagnosed with Periodontal disease with bone loss causing movement esp on my 2 front teeth. Yes, I was shocked. We discussed about the disease, the procedure and price including eventually 2 implants but will still depend how much bone loss it is and her total estimate 3k euros we're in belgium. As i have a dental plan insur. she first must send me the quotation for me to know how much is covered. I am glad my husband supported me. The cause she said was all about genetics. But deep inside me, I know I have strong gums and teeth and feel they are hard and holds tight. But yes, I get abscess every now and then coz of those 2 front teeth. What I do with abscess is I slice a garlic thinly then slip it in where the abscess is plus warm salt gargle with cloves when I get them. This procedure works magic and fast subsides everything. But i got bothered I have infection deep inside that's why I booked an appointment and have my 2 front teeth fixed permanently with implants. But knowing I have Periodontal disease to deal with is shocking. I am really happy thru your vlog that there is a cure as long as you continue with the self cleaning even after the treatment. I have read that Periodontal disease doesn't totally disappear, it's ongoing if you neglect it. Sadly, it's for life. Correct me if I am wrong. I will look forward on your next update. Sorry too long. Just happy to know it's truly common, there is hope for treatment and be back normal. Thanks again.

I’m a pretty young adult. I have a long journey of dental work ahead of me. Growing up I had depression teeth, braces for 5 years, and lived with a parent who only took me to the orthodontist every 2/3 months and I wasn’t going to the dentist consistently. I’ve had major work done on my teeth and it’s honestly so scary how much I’ve had done at my age, 21. When I got my braces off I had to get so much work done on my teeth. I am making appointments for the first time since getting braces off (year and a half ago) I take such good care of my mouth now, but I know I damaged my teeth and gums. I know it’s not too late for me. I started oil pulling today- and I just got a new tooth Phillips gum care tooth brush. I’ve been taking care of my teeth regularly brushing and flossing since I got braces off- but I wanted to get a better brush that’s much softer and try oil pulling regularly. Thank you for making this post. I haven’t been diagnosed with this, but my gums are irritated some and I know they aren’t perfect we can absolutely say that. But I am nervous for what can happen from not taking care of my gums and the damage I’ve already done. Part of me feels like I can never have children because of how much work was done on me. I am so afraid of what could happen to me potentially from a pregnancy. Maybe this is weird, but I would really love to talk to you through Instagram or email or any type of private chat if you have any space in your life for that. Dealing with dental struggles seriously is the hardest part of my life. I’m scared.

This is amazing, I'm so happy for you!! Dental problems are the worst. I had the gum surgery on my front 2 bottom teeth about a year and a half ago. It wasn't bad at all. I had pretty significant bone loss, so my periodontist did something to help regrow the bone and it was very successful. The teeth were loose and kind of falling to the sides, but as the bone grew back my teeth straightened back out. I have one more spot that we're watching, but he's hopeful that we won't have to do the surgery there. I hope you're still doing well!

Thank you sooooo much for this video Petrena. I've seen 4 dental specialists since May and have been traumatised by what their predictions are. You've given me some super useful information and so much hope. My worst pockets are 7 and I have a small amount if bone loss. I'm already doing all the things you are except use neem tea for gargling instead of the oil (a lot cheaper!) And also make snd eat my own sauerkrautfor probiotics. I'm booked in to see a periodontist end of this month. I now know what questions to ask due to watching you videos. You've given me so much reassurance. Thank you x 100!

I have severe periodontist disease and have lost a lot of my teeth. I have no insurance and live with the pain of the disease, cracked teeth, loose teeth, pain deep in my gums, not being able to eat and even drink water. I have diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and so on but I had no idea I had this problem until just a few years ago. It has advanced very quickly.

This is the most helpful video I've ever come across on this topic. I just found out last week that I need full mouth root scaling & also surgery along with bone grafts & will be losing 4 of my teeth (in the far back thankfully) which is very sad for me. You've helped me to rethink EVERYTHING about this issue & I'm ready now to confront it. Thank you so much ❣

Such an informative and reassuring video thanks for posting this, I was told I have it today and it really did crush me especially at age 36 it’s not something you want to hear . I’ve invested in a good electric brush, gum paste and mouth wash so I’m hoping I can slow it down and help healing. I’m terrible for brushing so hard and I’ve ruined my gums by doing this so now I’m being very gentle

After scaling and root planning it is recommended to get maintenance cleanings every three months to keep the infection under control.

[@Robnord1]

That is exactly what I heard from my former dentist. I'm seeing another dentist now, and that painful and expensive routine deep cleaning will be saved as a last resort.

[@imveryhungry112]

I have gum disease I have to get the cleanings every 3 months. I have no choice because of my gum disease

[@Robnord1]

@@imveryhungry112 Unless *you* really want to be hooked on the deep clean every 3 months, I suggest you check out Dr.Ellie Phillips DDS videos here on youtube. Her tooth and gum care system is said to reverse gum disease, even for those told by a dentist (who profits greatly from it) that you *must* get 3 month deep cleanings. I have been on her program 7 weeks. My gums quit bleeding, are no longer red and puffy, and it appears to be working. They look better and feel better. It only took 7 days! In 4 1/2 months I'm going in for a checkup to verify Dr.Phillips program is working. Deep cleans are painful and expensive. I want to avoid them completely. I'm seeing a new dentist now also. Turns out my dentist who insisted on deep clean every 3 months was exaggerating my gum disease severity. Imagine that. Good luck to you.

[@candelariadelazar4390]

@kasibantechristopher2559 straight away. First, scaling at the dentist, it was necessary. I took control of my mouth hygiene immediately after the procedure: didn't use antibiotics or chemical mouthwash. Cleaned the wounds with herbs, sea salt and colloïdale silver. Once the wounds had healed I have been oil pulling (almost) every day with amazing results. I love it, my teeth and gums have changed so much, always imp. I brush once or twice a day with soft brush and natural toothpaste. Big improvement, now about 6 months. No more bad breath or ugly taste, the infection is gone.

I was really encouraged by your video. I have struggled with gum problems for 20 years and recently had a gum infection, which scared me. I saw several doctors, and was recommended for the same procedure you had. Like you, I was shocked to the diagnosis because I thought I was doing okay relatively. I had one 7 I think on a place I had a gum graft previously. I go for frequent cleanings and also wondered why am I just now being told I need a deep cleaning? Maybe the infection would have been avoided if I had I had known to go sooner? I mainly appreciated your positivity and gratitude, because honestly it has had me really down the past week dealing with this. It is also encouraging you mentioned the age thing because a lot of people in the offices are older, but my problems started in my 20s, maybe earlier.

The fact that you found out by an orthodontist and not your dentist is negligence. It is there job to notify you of the signs. The fact that you only found out when it was severe is sad. I wish you a well recovery.

Thanks for sharing. Besides flossing, waterpik and electric toothbrush, some doctors recommend a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide(not everyday but ounce in a while. Like ounce a week). You buy one that says 3 percent and dilute it. It kills all the bad bacteria. I had the same procedure done 3 months ago. Also had severe periodontal disease. My gums haven't bled ever since I had my deep cleaning.

[@PetrenaSchell]

I actually just got some of that recently. I have tried it in my waterpik. I am looking forward to see how the healing progresses with its addition. Thank you so much for sharing that as well!

I was so sad and scared because my dentist at western dental made me feel so bad they told me it was incurable! I was mad at myself for waiting until after my braces to get a check up and cleaning. That’s my fault. I have 4-7 deep pockets in my gums lots of 5s and 6s.

​@PetrenaSchell Thanks for sharing your journey, it's really terrifying and I felt so alone. So I'm at ease knowing that there are many who suffer from this too. My question is, how did you cover the costs for the treatments? Does your country have dental insurance or did you get assistance with funding? I'm now needing to book my deep root cleaning, for my first step towards my treatment, but here in South Africa, our health insurances don't cover this disease. So right now I'm so overwhelmed with the costs involved, also needing implants and bridge as I have 2 severely loose teeth in my bottom jaw

[@PetrenaSchell]

Hi! I am sorry to hear you are also suffering with this. It's definitely not cheap! And I also do not have insurance. I just have had no choice but to make more money and pay it. My periodontist was really good though and he let me do payments, instead of paying it all upfront. Plus, I have done so much natural healing of it on my own, it has saved me from surgery so far. I would suggest asking your periodontist if they will do a payment plan for you. Sending endless having vibes to you. ✨️

[@bill6289]

Be careful with the electric toothbrush you can actually do more harm than good if you're not careful. I had to lose a tooth ( no advanced gum disease.) because it receded my gum line so badly to the point where the roots were exposed. ( I wasn't careful.) I'm glad it's working for you, but a regular toothbrush will serve you just fine, just brush away from the gum line.

[@PetrenaSchell]

Thanks for the heads up!🙌

[@ayrezazu6267]

I agree. I used an electric toothbrush and Waterpic for years and I truly believe they caused my gum loss. I only use manual brushes and flossers now. I do love the Proxy brushes. Also I have been using tooth mousse to add calcium to my teeth. And rub your gums with Vitamin E oil which promotes healing.

Where do u get that? How do u use it?

[@marar3042]

@@juliettamartinez5191 Many people made such experience. Even some honest dentists gave this advice. It is very important to get the knowledge. You're learning through experience. We should always make a blood test regarding vitamin D3 . If it's under 100 then you know you have to do Something. If it's between 100 to 140 but your teeth are in no good condition, which sounds strange, it's a sign that the calcium is not well delivered to your bones, which means you need the help of vitamin K2. Check also your neck. Your neck and your teeths playing a big role in such kind of cases. Your muscels should be soft and relax. I recommend 3 days before and 3 days after a dentist visit to get a massage regarding your neck. A manual therapy would make sense.
