Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hi Kristi: I have problems with my gums so I asked on the list what to do. If you look up the posts under my name and about gums and hawthorne, you'll find the questions I asked. I started using the Sonicare toothbrush recently. I use herbal toothpastes such as with tea tree oil in it from the health food stores. I also use black walnut drops on my toothbrush as an aid to put enamel back on my teeth. Then I'm getting ready to try a supplement called coral calcium. I've also used a ViaJet water pick on and off in the past. Take care, Gums Hi All, I'm going to pop in with a " dumb " question too. This may be totally unrelated to the thryoid, but lately Ive noticed that my gums are really sensitive. They even bled a little today when I brushed them. I know it's not gum disease as I have always been very particular about taking care of my teeth. Has anyone had this before?

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hi Kristi, There have been several posts about gums, fairly recently too. But for me, I was diagnosed with benign mucous membrane pemphigus of the gums, a couple years ago--they figured it was GD related. My gums were red, sore, blistery, I couldn't brush without breaking the skin--it was bad. I had a biopsy to find out what happened, and the only treatment I did was to switch toothpaste to some Chinese herbal stuff called jie yin--you can get it at any Chinese grocery or herb shop here, my perio guy recommended it--and to a Sonicare brush. The condition went away, luckily, in about 6 months. I also get my teeth cleaned 3x a year rather than 2. Other people have had some gum problems. You might try an archive search.
