Why a Supplement in Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontitis is not just a “simple” gum infection. It is a chronic condition where the immune system overreacts. The real damage is not mainly caused by bacteria themselves, but by the body’s exaggerated inflammatory response. This leads to tissue destruction, gum recession, and in severe cases even tooth loss.
That is why supporting the body can play a crucial role. Oraguard, developed by periodontologists, is designed to work on four levels:
- Reducing inflammation – by helping to calm the immune system’s overreaction.
- Limiting oxidative stress – through antioxidants that neutralize harmful free radicals.
- Correcting deficiencies – many people lack key nutrients such as vitamin D, vitamin C, and essential minerals needed for gum health.
- Supporting healing – the right micronutrients foster the regeneration of gum tissue.
In this way, a well-structured supplementation program can complement periodontal therapy. It is not a replacement for treatment, but an additional tool to make both body and gums more resilient.
