Gingivitis Answer

Basic Concept
Gingivitis is caused by bacteria. Bacteria are killed by antibiotics. Antibiotics cure gingivitis.


Gingivitis Answer
Expose the bacteria by brushing and flossing. Then, use a mixture of 500 mg of antibiotic in a 1.5 ounce pocket irrigator filled with a non-alcoholic mouthwash. The pocket irrigator can direct the antibiotic under an inflamed gum. One drop per inflamed area is sufficient. It can be used one or two times daily. Use a non-alcoholic mouthwash afterwards to spread the antibiotic to the rest of the gums. The inflammation will subside quickly. But, the gum will take some months to reattach to the tooth after the inflammation is reduced. It is necessary to push the gum towards the tooth with your finger and a red tip.


Gingivitis Maintenance
The application of an antibiotic to the gum will kill the bacteria that cause gingivitis. Too much will cause discoloration of the tongue. A mixture of 500 mg of antibiotic in 16 ounces of non-alcoholic mouthwash can be used once a day as a substitute for toothpaste. An electronic toothbrush helps to get the antibiotic under the gum line. Crunches with a red tip are needed to get the gum to reattach to the tooth.


Antibiotics
Cephalexin capsules are easiest to mix into mouthwash.

Act is a good non-alcoholic mouthwash.
