A miracle to prevent your gum disease - the simple salt water treatment
By Simon Chobod

One of the most important advises that you will seldom hear from your dentist - rinsing your gums with a simple salt water solution
(half tea spoon of salt for a glass of water) twice a day for a few months will eliminate the need for gum surgery
except in the most advanced cases.
The deep pockets are usually the result of swollen gums. The salt water treatment reduces the swelling
and with it the depths of the pockets. It gives almost the same results as surgery, but with much less pain and money.
The salt water treatment also does wonders to eliminate bad smell from your mouth.
The bad-smelling bacteria live not only on your gums.
Many colonies of them thrive on your tongue and in the back of your throat.
The salt water treatment helps to eliminate them as well as an additional bonus.
Another good advise: if the deep gum pockets are cleaned on a regular basis by a qualified periodontal assistant
(such procedures can be performed without surgery), it can reverse the deterioration in many cases and restore the healthy tissues.
Why dentists don't tell you that? Well, in our litigation-happy culture a doctor may be better off
by recommending gross over treatment (which is very difficult to prove), rather than not recommending enough treatment
(which makes it easier for patients to sue him, if they do not regain their health).
The amount of money we spend on dental medical services is already insane and it grows every year.
A dentist pays hundreds of thousands of dollars for his rising insurance costs, office maintenance,
assistant and secretary salaries. If he makes less than $400,000 a year, he considers himself a failure.
Now, if you were in his place, what would you recommend to a patient? A salt water treatment?
How much can he charge you for such advice?
