my teeth are so weak that each season almost I see one of them breaking. help!?

Answer 1

My gums would be painful and bleed if I didn't take lots of vitamin C. I would take time-released form, and have done so for over 20 yrs. I did go as much as 6000 mg per day, but have cut down to only 2000 and seems stable. Ester C is a form of vitamin C that claims are made that it stays in your system for 24 hours (which is better than time-released, which is only 4-6 hrs). I have found a difference in quality and effects from different brands. I would suggest going through a vitamin store where they carry many brands, and give some a try. It seems that chain stores like Walgreens, CVS, Walmart carry some so-so brands that appear to not have as much "absorbancy" as some of the more expensive brands at the vitamin shops or mail order. Mail order is still a crap-shot, though. I've come across good and not so good. Need to just pay attention.

Calcium with Vitamin D is also helpful for the gums and teeth.

I would suggest that you call a dentist office or peridontist office and speak with the nurse or technician and see what they can suggest over the counter if you can not come in for an appointment. This is only probably a temporary reprieve from your ailment. It is best you not delay. Recent studies are indicating that oral health directly effects your heart; so best take care of it quickly before it escalates into an infection that gets into your bloodstream.

I'm going to paste an email that I had sent to me from the link posted below. I hope this helps!

"This is your 4th issue in a 4-part HealthGuide series on heart health. This message on daily oral care and heart health was written by Colgate®.

"Did you know that taking proper care of your mouth might be important to your heart health? A growing body of evidence suggests that maintaining healthy teeth and gums is important not only to the health of your mouth but also may be important to your overall health.

"Gingivitis or inflammation of the gums, is caused by the accumulation of plaque. Inflammation is the body's natural response when fighting bacteria and repairing damaged cells, so it can be a good thing. But if the inflammatory process occurs for a long period of time (i.e., weeks, months, or even years), it is considered chronic. Untreated gingivitis can result in chronic inflammation, which can lead to periodontitis, a more serious form of gum disease.

"Is There a Connection to Heart Disease?
While the research to date is not conclusive as to the exact nature of the relationship between oral and overall health, recent studies have demonstrated that there is an association between periodontitis and certain systemic diseases, such as heart disease -- a leading cause of death in both men and women.

"There are several theories about how periodontitis might be associated with heart disease. One theory is that bacteria may enter the bloodstream through the mouth and have the potential to attach to fatty deposits in the blood vessels, which may contribute to heart disease. Another theory is that the inflammation associated with periodontitis may play a role.

"Who's at Risk?
Without proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, oral inflammation can be a risk for anyone. It is estimated that 80% of adults have experienced some form of gum
disease. However, gingivitis, the first stage of oral inflammation, can develop at any age and may persist or recur frequently, depending on the health of the teeth and gums. In the United States, periodontitis affects about 35% (36 million) of adults with teeth and is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults over age 35.

"What Can You Do Now?
It's important to remind yourself -- and the ones you love -- about some simple steps you can take to maintain good oral health, which may also benefit your heart: Brush for 2 minutes twice a day.
Floss daily.
Brush with a toothpaste that is FDA approved to help prevent gingivitis.
Only Colgate Total® is both FDA approved and accepted by the ADA to fight gingivitis. It contains an ingredient that fights both bacteria and gum inflammation. A unique, innovative technology ensures that this ingredient keeps working for a full 12 hours.
See your dentist every 6 months.

So think about the simple steps that you can take to help your heart, including getting regular exercise, eating a proper diet, and perhaps even taking care of your mouth. Your heart will thank you for it! "

Now, keep in mind that this is part of an advertisement for Colgate brand products. You can find similar products that will work as well at any oral health counter. Just be sure to not let this slide by - today begin taking an active role in your oral health. Good luck!!
