Periodontitis - #19566

I’ve been having some serious issues with my gums lately, and it’s been getting me really worried. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed my gums have started to bleed more than usual when I brush my teeth, and sometimes even when I’m not brushing, I can see blood on my pillow or in my mouth when I wake up. I also feel like my gums have receded a bit, especially around my back teeth. I know this can be a sign of periodontitis, but I’m not sure if that’s what’s going on. At first, I thought it was just because I wasn’t brushing properly, so I started brushing more carefully and using mouthwash. But the problem hasn’t gone away, and sometimes my gums feel swollen and sore. I’ve also noticed that my breath has become a little foul, even after brushing, which makes me self-conscious. I went to my dentist a couple of weeks ago, and they confirmed that I have gum disease, but they said it wasn’t too severe yet. They mentioned it could turn into periodontitis if I don’t take care of it, and I was given a deep cleaning to remove plaque buildup. The dentist suggested I might need to start using special toothpaste and possibly go for more cleanings, but I’m honestly a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing. I’ve read a lot about how periodontitis can cause more serious issues if it’s not treated early, and I’m scared of the thought of losing teeth or having other complications. Since I’ve always been interested in Ayurveda and its natural approach to health, I’m wondering if there are any Ayurvedic remedies or practices that could help with my periodontitis. I know there are herbs like neem and turmeric that are supposed to be great for oral health, but I’m not sure if they could help with something as serious as periodontitis. Can Ayurvedic treatments really prevent gum disease from getting worse, or are they better for early-stage gum issues? Should I keep up with the deep cleaning my dentist suggested, or can I rely on natural remedies to improve the condition of my gums? I’m really looking for something to prevent it from turning into full-blown periodontitis and avoid the need for more invasive treatments. Has anyone had success with Ayurvedic solutions for periodontitis or severe gum problems? What should I be doing right now to help my gums heal and avoid further damage?
