The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) considers periodontal infections to be a medical problem.

Gum disease is not just a dental issue; it can have numerous effects on one’s overall health and challenge one’s general well being.

Do You Have a Gum Infection?

Take the Test and See... 1. Do you have tender, painful, itchy, or swollen gums? Do you have sore bleeding gums? 2. Do your gums ever bleed when you brush your teeth, floss, or use a toothpick? 3. Are your teeth feeling loose? 4. Have you noticed any spaces developing between your teeth or do they seem to be moving? 5. Are your gums receding (pulling away from your teeth)? 6. Are you troubled with constant bad breath? 7. Have you noticed pus oozing out from your gums when you press on them? 8. Have you noticed any changes in your bite or in the fit of your partial denture? 9. Are you pregnant? Have you been diagnosed with pregnancy gingivitis?

If you have a gum infection, read on…

If you answered “Yes” to one or more of the questions in the test, you may have a gum infection. You’re not alone! Gum disease, a chronic bacterial infection, affects nearly 75-90 percent of the general population at one time or another. These chronic infections have been linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, ulcers, diabetes, respiratory diseases, and pregnancy complications.

It does not have to be this way! Gum disease is easily prevented and gum treatment can be non-surgical, using a simple, antibacterial self-care program pioneered in the 1970s by Dr. Paul Keyes (“Keyes Technique”). Today, Sheila Wolf is carrying this message of oral and whole-body health to millions.

Sheila, affectionately known as “Mama Gums,” has been practicing dental hygiene since 1971. Working at the leading edge of non-surgical periodontal care, her mission is to educate and empower people to take control of their own mouths. She has brought her message to places as far apart as California and Connecticut, Israel, Africa, and the hills of Kentucky.
