GUM (PERIODONTAL) DISEASE:
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease is an inflammatory condition affecting the gums and the structures supporting the teeth. It often starts as gingivitis, a mild inflammation caused by plaque buildup, which can affect up to 90% of people. If not treated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe condition that can lead to:
Loss of gum attachment
Bone loss around the teeth
Tooth loss
What Causes It?
The disease is driven by bacteria like Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola. These bacteria invade the gums and trigger an immune response that, while trying to fight the infection, can also damage the gums and bones.
Key Risk Factors:
Poor oral hygiene
Smoking
Diabetes
Aging
Genetic predisposition
Impact on Your Health
Periodontal disease affects about 50% of adults, with 10-15% developing severe forms that can impact overall well-being and quality of life. It’s also linked to other health issues:
Increases the risk of heart disease by up to 44% in older adults
Raises mortality risk in type 2 diabetes patients by 3.2 times
Contributes to 15–50% preterm births
EviWelle Toothpaste:
EviWelle Toothpaste is designed with natural ingredients to support you and your family’s oral health:
Bromelain: A natural enzyme from pineapples that reduces inflammation and plaque.
Lactoferrin: A natural iron-binding protein that inhibits bacterial growth and supports oral immunity.
Erythritol & Betaine: a natural sugar helps reduce biofilm, balance oral microbiota, and protect against dry mouth.
Ornithine: a natural amnio-acid supports tissue repair and periodontal health.

Bromelain: The Pineapple Enzyme
Bromelain, derived from pineapples, has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that make it a great addition to oral care. It helps:
Disrupt the growth of harmful bacteria and plaque
Reduce inflammation and bone loss
Reduces Gum Pockets
Protect against chronic periodontal infection
Break down staining proteins → brighter smile
Natural alternative to bleaching
Improves overall gum health

Lactoferrin: Nature’s Protector
Lactoferrin is a natural protein found in milk, saliva, and tears. It offers multiple protective benefits simultaneously:
Reduces harmful bacteria without disturbing healthy ones
Prevents plaque bacterial adhesion and invasion
Reduces inflammation and supports bone health and regeneration
Reduce oral malodour
Protects Implants by reducing the risk of bacterial on implant surfaces
Gingivitis and periodontist management
Erythritol & Betaine: A Powerful Duo
• Erythritol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in microorganisms, algae, fermented foods, lichens, mushrooms, fruits, vegetables, and even in animal and human tissues.
• Betaine is a zwitterionic organic compound that naturally occurs in beetroot and is also present in many plants and animals.
These natural substances work together to:
Remove plaque gently and effectively
Inhibit harmful gum disease causing bacteria
Improve comfort during dental care
Ornithine: Supporting Gum Health
L-Ornithine, a naturally occurring, non-protein amino acid found in foods like meat and fish, helps:
Reduce gum pocket depth
Decrease gum bleeding
Support immune response and gum tissue health
