Dental infections are majority caused by bacteria. Such problems include; bad breath, gum disease, plaque and sensitive teeth. Gum irritation can arise from bad breath that is mainly caused by volatile sulfur compounds like hydrogen sulfide. They are produced by bacteria and cellular degradation. I plaque is not dealt with at the very initial stages it develops in to calculus which leads to gum irritation. This can also lead to gingivitis which results to periodontal disease.

Other than bacterial accumulation and general oral hygiene, gum disease might be a symptom of weak immune system. The poor immune system provides a conducive environment in the liver for bacteria to thrive in. This is because the liver is overworked resulting to ‘heat’ in it hence bacteria formation. The heat in the liver can also result from the spicy food you take, some other risk factors of gum diseases include, pregnancy birth control pills, smoking, alcohol and more medication.  They all cause congested or heated liver.

There are some common symptoms that can help you determine whether you have gum disease, these are; swollen gums that are red, when brushing or flossing your teeth you can notice bleeding, you will also have chronic bad breath, you can also notice that your teeth are loose and the space between the gum and the teeth widens.  There are various kinds of treatment that can reduce or clear the gum disease.  The treatment ranges from preventing the causes of gum infection to the actual treatment of the disease.

Concerning the heated liver, it can be treated in order to stop the survival of bacteria in it that can cause the gum disease.  You can do this by using anti-bacterial mouth wash from herbs. Research has shown that the Chinese herbal antibacterial mouth wash is effective for this.  The mouth wash also prevents the formation of plaque.  In the herb there are some contents that can help in the cooling of the liver.  These ingredients are known as “Chinese Gentian” and “Bitters”.  This also clears the bad breath associated by the gum disease.
