I’ve been doing red light therapy every morning for age related receding gums for awhile now. I hold the light about 6” away from my open mouth for 20 seconds. Has anyone else tried this?
Red light is helpful for the gums and even the back of the throat. A caveat is that exposure of the thyroid for an excess amount of time could be problematic. But definitely the light will be helpful for the mitochondria.
I’ve used red light, a bit differently…
Ray recommended incandescent “…250-500 watt, at a distance that doesn’t warm you too much, as long as you want…”
From the book “Red Light Therapy: Miracle Medicine ” it’s recommended to use a distance of 1- 2 feet, and a time of ~15 minutes. Also want to be relaxed…
sooo..for the gums, maybe lie on side facing light with mouth open….
I’ve recently used it for an oral abcess, and it seemed to work fine…
Hope this helps…
Cheers!
BobI haven’t noticed any results. There isn’t a lot of information out there. I’ve read some studies on PubMed but they’re inconclusive. I’ll keep it up. It may be something that takes awhile.
Bob, my light is infrared so I don’t think I would be able to use it as you suggested since it’s stronger. My goal was to regrow dentin layer of tooth.
“Red Light Therapy (RLT) is an innovative method for treating receding gums. This non-invasive treatment uses low-level red light to stimulate cell activity, promoting faster healing. It reduces inflammation, enhances circulation, and encourages growth of new tissues, thereby aiding in gum regeneration.”
‘Your mouth is the entry point to your digestive and respiratory systems. When your mouth is unhealthy, bacteria can migrate throughout the body, causing serious, sometimes life-threatening issues. Poor oral hygiene not only causes cavities, gum disease, teeth sensitivity, and other mouth issues, but it has been linked to the following health issues:
Diabetes
Endocarditis
Cardiovascular disease
Rheumatoid arthritis
Alzheimers
Dementia
Pancreatic cancer
Pneumonia
Low birth weight or premature birth
It’s clear that a good oral health routine is vital to maintain your health, but unfortunately, most people are unaware of what actually creates good oral health. Due to the false information perpetrated by the $18.5 billion dollar toothpaste industry, most people end up with poor oral health.’Thank you for both of those articles. I feel assured that the infrared light is effective for my needs. The problem with most articles is they don’t give you the strength/power of the light and the amount of time for this power. My light is 830nm. I use it at 6” for 20 seconds. I may have to do more research.
