There are few words in health care that make my toes curl more than \u201cgum scaling.\u201d They\u2019re like a fingernail drawn slowly across the blackboard of life. When patients come in for a check-up with me, they get their gums checked, a quick effort to save them from the moment when their dentist says, \u201cNow we\u2019ll get to work on those gums of yours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum health is one of life\u2019s tedious necessities. Even the densest planetary citizen knows that unhealthy gums cause bad breath, tooth decay, and, ultimately, tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let\u2019s say you\u2019ve got some gum issues right now, and your dentist has been hinting at a little work in the future. Here\u2019s a ritual I learned from Dr. Alan Gaby, who most holistic physicians acknowledge as the best in the business when it comes to nutritional medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right up front, this is a little complicated, but given the alternative, it\u2019s worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  High absorption Coenzyme Q-10 (UBQH)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  Folic acid in liquid form<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  Vitamin E 400 IU in capsule form<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  Buffered vitamin C powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Co Q 10 is the easiest: just take one capsule daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays: after brushing your teeth, brush your gums GENTLY, with the softest tooth brush you can find. Then, open a vitamin E capsule with a pin, squeeze out the oil, and massage it into your gum line with your finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays: after brushing your teeth, brush your gums GENTLY, using the powdered vitamin C as a tooth powder. Rinse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every night at bedtime: after brushing your teeth, use a cotton swab to paint your gum line with liquid folic acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice results in about 3 to 4 weeks. Think of the thrill of unalloyed pleasure you\u2019ll experience from hearing, \u201cLooks like we don\u2019t have to work on those gums of yours. Good job!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please floss every night too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
