How Sesame Seeds Work on Your Teeth Sesame seeds, like other seeds and nuts, have a relatively hard exterior that breaks up when you eat the seeds. If you crunch down on a small spoon of sesame seeds, the texture of the seed and the pieces it breaks into while you chew will scrub gently against your teeth as you eat.

Receding gums If the soft tissue and bone that hold your teeth in place become infected, you could experience gum disease (periodontitis). If the infection is unchecked, the gums pull away from the teeth, or recedes. In a 2009 study, the ayurvedic practice of oil pulling showed a reduction of plaque in individuals with gingivitis.... Another 2009 study, showed that aloe vera can be effective in promoting oral health: injecting medicinal-grade aloe vera gel into inflamed gums resulted in improvement of periodontal conditions. Lastly, sage-based mouthwash was shown to effectively kill the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, which is the main bacteria in dental plaque responsible for the development of cavities.

Mental Health Mental health is directly related to your oral health. Traumatic experiences, depression, or stress often lead to clenching and/or grinding of teeth while awake and especially while asleep. This can cause bruising of the teeth and TMJ (temporalmandibular [jaw] joint) disorders. Depression and stress lead to a weaker immune system which increases the probability for an oral infection. That is why at Junction Family Dental Care, we take gum disease very seri...ously. We will analyze your bacteria, provide the best gum treatment and monitor your gum disease very closely. We also provide night guards to treat and prevent TMJ disorders, and immune system support recommendations. We also try to minimize the amount of stress and anxiety you feel in a dental office by providing laughing gas (nitrous gas); aromatherapy; a quiet, clean, and relaxing environment; noise cancelling headphones; movies and TV shows; blankets to keep you warm; and a therapy dog to help you feel more relaxed. We will also carefully monitor which drugs you take and help minimize the saliva reducing effects of certain drugs.
