There is the Keyne's method - I might not have the
right spelling.
Basically you make a paste of baking soda and a little
hydrogen peroxide,
and rub it gently into your gums once or twice a day.  
If you think the
hydrogen peroxide is too harsh, use plain old water.
Placque can be so
intractable, that you can't get the paste where it
should go.  I used to
do my own chipping on the placque under the bottom
front teeth with a nut
pick, but that was in the first six months or so - I
have used the method
for so long, I have forgotten what the treatment was
like at first.  My
gums were rimmed in white, that is for sure.   I have
been
doing this for twenty plus years and it really has
helped.  Warning, most
dentists think it is voodoo dentistry.  It can also be
abused.  I have
heard horrible stories of people keeping hydrogen
peroxide in their mouths
for long periods of time and this can be really nasty.

    This is the Keyes method.  I think there is a Keynes' method, but it's
"In the long run we're all dead."

Joel, you have been using the baking soda and h202 for 20
years..correct...Does it prevent the plaque formation or does it remove the
plaque instead of your nut pick.

Dr Keyes did this big research study here in Michigan about 20 years
ago.  The research looked good and caused many dentists to switch to
the Keyes technique of brushing with baking soda and peroxide.
Then,,,,, some universities tried to repeat the results gotten by Dr.
Keyes.  No one else got similar results.  His study was then proven to
have been less than optimal.

Since there is a slight lull to SciMed.Dentistry, will take advantage . The
subject being periodontitis, it might be worthy to note that the important part
of the gum is that if it adheres to the tooth,   and is in good condition, it
matters not so much if there is some bone loss, (unless too much where tooth is
loose) the gums have a  good chance of remaining healthy.
Okay, that is my in for off the topic, as maybe a profile of the person
disrupting the dental group (omitting parts as the perogative of a woman),
elderly means elderly, my daughter says it more tactfully (ancient) . 5 feet 5
inches, 150 lbs. two children, grandchildren, medications are Ativan and a
sliver of Vicodin for pain, a cat for a pet that found its way to my house, of
Hebrew Iranian descent, dark skinned, and live alone in the state of Illinois.
Totally of uninterest to the world, just some stubborness comes with age.
Equally of uninterest, Arafat's nephew says his uncle died of unnatural causes.
and hospital ruled out any traces of poison known to them"   Of course crohns
is not known to them.
Just rack this up as nonessential, just wanted to have a say, as tomorrow is
not guaranteed. (to anyone, but more so the one that feels it.)
And loved the poem or writing on the Embers theme.   If anyone ever went to
camp as a youngster, they perhaps can appreciate the sentiments it speaks of.
They were the some of the best days of life.   Sounds a little like Day is
Done, sung every night at camp.
If this is disrutpting to dentistry, it is not meant to be.  Sometimes the mind
does not differentiate what our body and mind brings to thought, teeth and
other things being equally important.
Make any sense?  Probably not.

Nothing is disruptive to dentistry ........ there are various degrees
of separation between dentistry and everything.

Dentistry --> teeth --> people --> people typing --->. posts.

See?

Gotta pay attention ...
