How dental advice could fix your prostate
Are you a man who has been suffering from pain and burning with urination? Is sleeping through the night a thing of the past thanks to that constant urge to go just one more time?
You may even be living with pain in your stomach, low back and groin.
If so, you’re likely suffering from prostate problems — you know, that little gland that is responsible for making sperm — well, it’s now responsible for making your life miserable.
Many men think of prostate problems as a sign of getting older… Something they just have to live with.
But, nothing could be further from the truth.
Because, not only can you find relief from your prostate pain, it might be even easier than you think.
And, it all starts way above the belt…

Gum disease and prostatitis
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine and the Departments of Urology and Pathology at University Hospitals Case Medical Center discovered a connection between gum disease, prostate inflammation (prostatitis) and the lives of men suffering from the condition.
In the study, men with confirmed inflammation of the prostate gland were tested for blood levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels – a high level is a sign of inflammation and potentially a very serious health issue.
They also completed a questionnaire to measure their quality of life and urination issues. The men were then examined for gum disease and guess what?
Every single one had moderate to severe gum disease!
The participants were then treated for their periodontal problems but given no treatment at all for their prostatitis woes.
And, the results were amazing…
With dental treatment only, over three-quarters of the men showed decreased levels of PSA and their symptom scores and quality of life also showed improvement.
That’s right… Almost 78% of the men in the study got relief from their prostatitis problems just by fixing their gum disease!

It all starts in your mouth
How could that happen you ask?
According to the researchers, it’s because gum disease not only affects your mouth, but is a system-wide condition that can cause inflammation in various parts of the body, including your prostate.
Clearly, if you’re having prostatitis difficulties, improving the health of your teeth and gums should be at the top of your priority list.
Here are a few things you should be doing:
- Start with the basics – Make certain you brush and floss at least twice a day. This will help reduce the amount of plaque buildup on your teeth (the usual cause of gum disease). Also, be sure to rinse your mouth with a mouthwash that’s used to treat gingivitis.
- Watch what you eat – You should also avoid sugary foods and drinks since they contribute to tooth decay.
- Try oil pulling – This method has been raved about not only for curing swollen, red gums, but even reversing gum disease with bone loss. Oil pulling does just what the name infers – it ‘pulls’ toxins right out of your mouth and gums. Basically, you put one to two tablespoons of oil into your mouth and swish for 20 minutes before spitting it into the trash can and rinsing and brushing your teeth.
It removes plaque build-up and has been studied in several triple-blind studies to be very effective. Just be sure to use 100% organic oil – sesame, olive, or coconut is best – because you wouldn’t want to be swishing pesticide-laden oils around in your moth for several minutes at a time.
- Rinse with salt water – Another method that has been shown to be effective against gingivitis is rinsing with salt water. Just add 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of salt to a glass of lukewarm water and mix well. Swish the solution in your mouth for up to 30 seconds and spit it out. Repeat two to three times per day.
Prostatitis problems can keep you in pain and in the bathroom but they don’t have to be a part of getting older. Improve prostate pain and inflammation by healing the root of the inflammation and getting healthier gums and teeth.
