Periodontal Disease
“Excellent place to buy Periodental therapy and dental products. Very friendly staff. 5 of 5 services!” -Kent
We’ve known for a long time that gum disease is an inflammatory bacterial infection in the mouth which starts as gingivitis and progresses to periodontitis. It attacks the gums and soft tissues which support the teeth, and eventually leads to bone loss and loss of teeth if not treated. There is a systemic, internal relationship between the mouth and the rest of the body. As the inflammation spreads through the bloodstream, it increases risk of many grave medical conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. What happens in the mouth, good or bad, ends up in the body. What happens in the body, likewise, shows up in the mouth.
Science shows that gum disease can start or get worse with 4 major issues
-
- A high bacterial level in the mouth
- Poor nutrition
- Medical issues
- A weakened immune system
Pharmaden is a new way to approach periodontal disease (vitamins for gum disease). It’s the only dental supplement supported by a double-blind study from a major American university, Loma Linda University Dental School in California, showing reduction of pocket depth (pocket depth refers to the interface between the gum and teeth), bleeding, and plaque – the three main components of periodontal disease.
Pharmaden used 62 studies to develop the right combination of natural (not synthetic) ingredients to get results consistent with those found in Loma Linda study.
Key components of the Pharmaden product line are:
PerioTherapy:
This supplement is designed to support the immune system and promote gum health. The Loma Linda study showed that when the people in the study took this product there was a significant reduction of pocket depth, plaque,and bleeding. PerioTherapy contains echinacea. Echinacea speeds up the immune system and should be taken for 1 month. The Loma Linda double blind study used PerioTherapy for 1 month.
Pharmaden’s PerioTherapy is the only supplement backed by a double blind study to show a reduction in pocket depth, plaque, and bleeding.
The First 30 days take PerioTherapy and OsteoTherapy+:
PerioTherapy serving size: 1 capsule. Suggested use: 1 capsule twice daily with or without food or as recommended by your dentist or hygienist. Take as directed by your dentist. Always check with your physician before taking any supplement or medication.
OsteoTherapy+:
OsteoTherapy+ Remineralization Support. Bone Loss Support/Systemic Mineral Support is essential, yet often overlooked in gum disease, orthodontia and oral surgery. Fortunately, Pharmaden’s OsteoTherapy+ is a unique formulation designed to provide mineralization support to assist the body in maintaining optimal bone density.
Doctors recommend getting 1,000 mg of elemental calcium a day. Vitamins are a supplement, not a replacement. Since you get calcium in your normal diet it is recommended to take a supplement that is 25-60% of this recommended 1,000 mg, depending on your diet, so 250-600 mg.
1 serving (2 capsules) of OsteoTherapy+ is currently 426 mg of elemental calcium. It is recommended that anyone with a good, nutritious diet take 2 capsules once a day and anyone with an average (American) or poor diet take 2 capsules twice a day or as directed by your physician.
It is recommended not to go over 1,000 mg of elemental calcium per from supplements because this increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney and GI issues.
When talking about bones, calcium does not strengthen the bone. This is why OsteoTherapy+ contains other necessary nutrients. For instance, studies show taking vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium supplements does not have a significant decrease in bone fractures & instead taking MK4 with calcium and vitamin D does significantly lower bone fractures. MK7 has been added because it directs calcium to your bones instead of your arteries so they do not harden.
The First 30 days take PerioTherapy and OsteoTherapy+:
OsteoTherapy+ serving size: 2 capsules. Suggested Use: 2 capsules twice daily with or without meals as a dietary supplement or as recommended by your doctor. Always check with your physician before taking any supplement or medication. *Women patients should continue using OsteoTherapy+ along with PerioCare. OsteoTherapy+ can help with osteoporosis protection, especially in women over 35 years old.
PerioCare:
Follows PerioTherapy/OsteoTherapy+. It is usually recommended by dentists to be taken at home for daily gum health maintenance.
After the First 30 days start PerioCare (Continue OsteoTherapy+):
PerioCare serving size: 1 capsule. Suggested Use: 1 capsule twice daily with or without food or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Remember to always check with your doctor before taking any supplements. Supplements should be taken 1 hour before or after taking medication.
