Gum disease is generally caused by an overgrowth of bacteria, namely prevotella, so adding a drop of tea tree oil to your toothpaste before you brush would be helpful. I have found consistently good results at preventing gum surgery by having my patients take CoQ10. I would say 100 - 200 mg a day would be best since it sounds like the gum disease is advanced. CoQ10 can be expensive... it generally is less expensive in the form of Ubiquinol and more effective as well. |
