I found something very satisfying for DENTAL CARE.....two drops of sage oil in a little water, and brush. It makes the teeth feel really clean and alive and does whiten.

Two years ago I had dry skin, dry mouth and dry eyes. I found out that if you are low in the omega oils, you're cells cannot hold onto water and you can stay dehydrated no matter how much water you drink. I started taking high quality omegas and not only did all my symptoms of dehydration disappear but the "floaters" in my eyes I had been bothered by also cleared up.

I wish I was smart enough to start this a long time ago. I have started using the baking soda, kosher salt mix, from day 1 I noticed the difference. Tooth pain started to go away, although I was suffering from an infection so its not 100% gone away. My gums have started improving, at first very fast now its slowed down but is still improving. I am starting to notice that my teeth are getting whiter, I have been using it for about 2 weeks now and I will continue to use it and enjoy the benefits. I have a few oral issues I am dealing with, especially because I suspect I have candida.

Here's my routine. First I swish with hydogen peroxide, then I dip wet toothbrush in a mixture of a little borax and baking soda. I have Dr. Bronner's peppermint liquid soap in an eyedrop bottle and drop a couple of drops of the soap on top of the borax/baking soda mixture. Then brush. Occasionally, I'll add a drop of oil of oregano especially if I feel the need to avoid a virus. My mouth feels fresh and teeth are white.

Try oil pulling. Oilpulling.org has a lot of information. I found out I have the beginning stages of gingivitis and did not want the deep scaling. I have been oil pulling with sesame oil 1 to 2 times per day since December 11. My gums look healthier and pinker, I no longer bleed when I brush, and my teeth are noticeably whiter. I also noticed other positives.

I have started using Hydrogen Peroxide diluted with water. I use 1/2 water and 1/2 Hydrogen Peroxide. I use it as a mouthwash and in my Waterpik. I have suffered from Halitosis for several years due to periodontal disease. I work, but due to high premiums, I don't have dental insurance. I have used products at the pharmacy, but this is more effective. I brush and manually floss with unwaxd dental floss. I use the Waterpik w/diluted Hydrogen Peroxide to irrigate between the teeth and below the gumline. On a job interview, I sat at close range w/the interviewer with no problems. It is not a substitute for professional dental care, but supplement it w/dental care. I also take Chlorophyll tablets(internal deodorizer) and Burdock Root (a blood cleanser).

To improve your dental health:
TAKE VITAMIN D3 (5,000iu) PLUS vitamin k2 (mk-7) (50mcg). These 2 vitamins will remove calcium from the blood and deposit it into the body and teethbones. That way your teethbones will, at least, be strengthen against acid.
Mama's Tooth Experiment

Hi MtM,
I had saved all our daughter's baby teeth as my mother saved mine. Mine stayed whole over the decades but every one of our daughter's split. That leads me to the conclusion sun screen prevented her from absorbing what was needed to harden her teeth from the sun.
I now regret not saving all of our daughter's teeth for studies that might prove how harmful sun screen really is for bone and tooth development/hardening. Maybe that would have been a "Nobel" thing for me to do. We only have a few just for a visual lesson.
I think the advertising insistence of sun screen use is not wise. Limiting ones exposure to the sun is wiser.

I wanted to let you all know of the benefits of using activated charcoal to whiten teeth. One website you can read about it is, Crunchy Betty and the other, is on YouTube with BeeyoutifulLiving. The former suggested doing a paste and leaving on teeth for 5 minutes and the latter has a recipe you put together to brush your teeth. It's 1/2tsp of activated charcoal, 1/2tsp of baking soda and 10 to 15 drops of peppermint oil. That's my toothpaste of a morning. I've been using that for the past week to whiten my teeth and what I like about the charcoal, is that it doesn't damage the enamel of your teeth. My teeth are really looking good. Pretty interesting stuff.... activated charcoal.

Francisca, I never heard about a possible connection between dental implants and dryness in eyes and mouth, but your posting sounded very similar to my own experience. Since some time ago, I'm not sure how long, I have had problems with dry eyes in the morning. When I wake up I barely can can keep my eyes open due to the strong dryness. I have to walk to the bathroom with my eyes closed, rub my eyelids with my fingers with some water to give some moisture to my eyes and only then I can keep them open. I also wake up with a completely dry throat and tongue so I need to have a zip of water. Guess what, it happens that I also got dental implants about three years ago. That's interesting!

Re gum problems: buy calcium chips (I get mine on-line). You slide a piece up under the gum. Never shove it up there, you just want to fill the space between the infected gum and the tooth under the gum. I put one of these chips in and the next morning my gum was around 75% better and by the next day there was no more problem. The gum reattached to the tooth. The best way to get calcium into your mouth tissues is topically. This method worked wonders for me.

I keep oral hygiene in good standing by doing the following: First, I put about a Tablespoon of Baking Soda in my mouth, then put some water (preferrably filtered), and swish it around as a mouthwash. I then put wet my toothbrush, add some baking soda, pour on my toothpaste, and brush my teeth. After I'm done brushing, I repeat the earlier Baking Soda mouthwash. It has kept me satisfied as far.

Hydrogen Peroxide diluted with water as a mouthwash really works to clean my mouth and my breath fresh. After reading Jill's post, I tried 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 1 water as a mouthwash once a day for a week and found it was too strong for me. My teeth felt really sensitive. Then I diluted 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 3 part water, once a day, and this works great. I have been doing this 3 weeks now and my mouth feels really clean and can see that my teeth has whitened some. My gums look and feel healthy. I'm going to do this the rest of my life. Thank you so much for sharing! I really appreciate!

Baking soda does a good job of cleaning but is too abrasive for my teeth. I have been using organic food grade diatomaceous earth. I haven't noticed any tooth sensitiviy like I did with baking soda. After I brush with toothpaste, I wash off the brush, dip it in the diatomaceous earth and brush a little more. It feels like you've just been to the dentist and had your teeth cleaned. Since I've been using it my dentist always comments that my teeth look so clean. About once a week I put a little peroxide in my mouth and then brush with the diatomaceous earth. My teeth definitly look whiter.

I actually had a dentist tell my ex and I in late 1983, to brush before bedtime with baking soda and regular 3% h202. This would keep us from having any cavities. I did this eventually dropping the use of toothpaste. I would brush morning and night with the paste and the would rinse with straight H2O2 until my mouth stopped fizzing. I also wouldn't eat or drink for a minimum of a 1/2 hour. I hadn't been to the dentist in 13 years and when I went I had no gum health issues. Or cavities, or any other major dental ems. I did have many filings in my mouth in my back molars that never reacted with the peroxide. There is a man called Bass who developed a method of packing the gums in a mixture of baking soda and H2O2. It is a packing of the paste into the inflamed gums or abscesses and leaving for a predetermined amount of time. I have never had to have my teeth bleached since the daily use of peroxide whitens them.

There are a few problems with Flouride. #1 is Dental Flourosis(where flouride causes bad teeth, so dentists give you more flouride, which makes them worse). #2 it displaces iodine, causing iodine deficiency. #3 Flouride binds with Heavy Metals like Lead and Mercury, known carcinogens. I believe this is why flouride is Mutagenic.
Studies show that people who live in flouridated communities have higher levels of Lead in their blood. Iodine studies show that when people are given high doses of Iodine(6 milligrams/day), they start urinating Lead any Mercury at 3-fold increases. Nice. Fluoride, Bromide, and Aluminum also come out.
For bone health, Magnesium supplements reverse osteoporosis, so I suspect they are good for teeth as well.

I was once prescribed fluoride by a dentist as a mouth rinse. After my first use, I immediately noticed that my gums and teeth was covered in plaque. I had to brush my teeth a couple times to remove it. I tried the fluoride a second time and had the same results. I then read the insert and one of the side effects was that it could cause increase plaque. I have since started brushing with tooth soap and toothpaste with natural ingredients. I also brush with baking soda, peroxide, and turmeric.

Baking soda is not abrasive...use a soft head toothbrush and you will be fine. I have not used toothpaste for over 30 years and no problems. Always use a waterpik to flush debris out between teeth every brushing, you still need to do a quick floss afterward to get the "scum" off the enamel between teeth.

I have been severly ill for over 17 mths. The symptoms have been debilitating. I will spare all the details I had many doctors and ND tell me that they have seeb people disabled from infected root canals and mercury fillings. I think everyone needs to get educated on this subject, My MD order the Clifford Test (metals and chemical ) allergy test. He told me that before having any fillings put in I needed to have this test, I found out I'm deathly allergic to mercury, formaldehyde and tons of other things. Apparently some dentists in the US once used Sargenti Paste ( paraformaldehyde) in fillings this is really dangerous stuff DO NOT ever have these put in your mouth I think they are using it in the UK. This stuff was in a root canal that was just extracted and I'm having all the mercury removed and one more root canals extracted I believe this these things can be making people deathly ill.

You could easily make your own soap in your kitchen. If you want, I can send you a super simple youtube video and you probably have the oils in your cupboard. 100% coconut oil soap would be the absolute simplest soap, super cleansing, great lather, mild tasting. But any handmade soap will work. I personally would choose one scented with essential oils for this application. Peppermint being my pick.

I am 63 years old.
I had problem with my teeth for years. About ten years before I had fillings in four or five cavities. About a year ago again there was problem of receding of gums, and gingivitis. More over one of Right side Third Molar ( Wisdom tooth) was getting loose and paining like any thing. Situation became so bad that I was not able to drink plain water without screaming. The dentist advised me use special tooth paste and mouth wash for sensitive teeth. Then I started gargling with Neem water. Some how problem came under control.
Then I searched Earth clinic and found oil pulling therapy for mouth problems. I started with Sunflower oil a table full early morning. It was amazing, within a few days every thing started settle down. I am not sure the gums receding is fully cured, but there is no more pain, no Hot and cold feeling problem and the good thing is the loosen wisdom tooth is not so loose any more. I am very comfortably eating all types of food chapatis, meat, rice hot and cold beverages. Now all my family members are doing oil pulling regularly. Most of my relatives and friends have started and getting benefit of this therapy. Thanks to Earth clinic.

Removing Dental Fillings

I attended a seminar on the dangers from mercury/amalgam fillings many, many years ago. At the time I had a lot of amalgam fillings but not the resources to get them extracted professionally and I began to despair...until...the speaker said, and I quote "If you cannot afford to get the amalgam fillings removed, the next best thing is to take selenium regularly as this binds to the mercury in the system and passes out of the body" I hope this information helps you as it helped me.
I am now in the unfortunate position of discovering that many of the replacement white composit fillings are made of "questionable" substances. I am now trying to locate a dentist that uses Quartzite epoxy.
I use approximately half a teaspoon of baking soda to brush my teeth and, because nowadays most soaps have added glycerine, I use natural soap flakes (no glycerine) afterwards to disinfect the mouth and also drink the Sodium Ascorbate mixture recommended by Dr. Judd.
I hope this helps.

I use baking soda in this way: take your toothbrush and dip a little in 3% peroxide, soap the toothbrush using unscented bar soap and finally, touch some salt mixed with baking soda. This protocol was written by some holistic dentists. This procedure takes a few seconds but the results are very good. (You also can add one drop of evergreen oil or mint oil on top of salt and soda.)

Yep, ACV is harming my teeth :-(
I started using ACV for other health complaints. Worked brilliantly for my prostate issues! Sadly it is certainly bad for my teeth. My teeth become sensitive after using ACV, and I have noticed cavities forming. Be careful!!
I still need the ACV as it is the best remedy for my prostate issues out there. Right now I am using a straw, but that only really saves the front teeth as the wisdom teeth and molars still get attacked by the acidity. I have to do more testing but I don't think the ACV helps my prostate when mixed with Bicarb to reduce acidity (although I found it could act as a laxative, in this case that would be due to osmotic pressure I think)
I'm wondering what else I can do ..
Making ACV gel capsules would be ideal but beyond my capabilities.
Rinse with bicarb before and after?
Take calcium supplements

Zark: You can buy ACV in tablet form at many health food stores. My standard prevention for prostate problems is 50-100mg zinc daily plus 3mg copper for balance. Occasional or during flare-up take a few capsules of Stinging Nettles. Occasional Cranberry or D Mannose kills the bad bacteria in the urinary tract, which if untreated infects & inflames the prostate.

Dr Bronner's liquid soap for tartar on teeth. I didn't realize I had tartar! I floss, brush with a coconut oil/sea salt/baking soda mix/oil of oregano, and rinse with regular peroxide. The tartar is in between my teeth, on the back side. I couldn't see it but I could feel it. Tt was causing some weird type of vibration in my mouth. Somehow I got the idea to turn off the light in the bathroom and check my teeth with my flashlight. And there it was. Yuck!
So I started my online research. The one thing I came upon time and again (that wasn't very expensive and that I already have in the house) was Dr. Bronner's liquid soap. Those who reported using it said it would SLOWLY wear the tartar away. I've brushed with it before in a pinch so the taste wasn't unknown to me. I was willing to try again. I'm happy to say that so far it's been working, and yes, slowly like everyone said. It really just depends on how much tartar is involved and (I guess) how old the tartar is.
It's been about 2 weeks now, brushing with one drop of the peppermint liquid soap at least twice a day. It makes a LOT of suds. My teeth feel silky and clean. I have also ordered a food grade peroxide to rinse with. I wish I could have taken pictures before I started up to now. But how in the world would I have gotten the camera into my mouth???
I am so thankful because I don't want another bloody dental cleaning, caused by the girl having to scrape sections where the ultrasonic didn't work well enough. Will post more in another week or two.

With respect to flouride, it is poison. In fact, this stuff is used to poison rats. The stuff that is put in the water supply is flouride chemical waste that other companies get rid of and sell. More to the point, we're over-flouridated. its in water supply, its in the mouthwash you buy, and its also in the toothpaste you buy. There is a study that provided a link to the rise of cancer to flouride.
Getting a filter to filter out flouride is expensive. A much cheaper method would be to ask/pressure your city council/county council to discontinue adding floride to the water supply. Get them to hold a public referendum on this.

Removing the metal fillings in my mouth has made an enormous difference to my health. I had a holistic dentist replace the metal fillings (the regular silver/mercury amalgams) with non-metal, non-toxic materials, one filling per month until finished.
Once he had finished, the eczema that I had endured for years on many parts of my body cleared up completely, my chronic fatigue disappeared, and my mental clarity and speed improved markedly.
It has been five years since he finished the work and the negative symptoms have not returned.
The organic diet that I had been on for many years was not enough to overcome the ethylmercury that I was building up while the toxic fillings were still in my mouth.
Once the metal fillings were removed though, I feel that the organic foods helped speed a full recovery.

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to post regarding this important information on healing the teeth. So many people come on EC searching for answers to teeth issues and gum problems. Over the past couple of weeks I had put up audio interviews with remarkable people and dentists who are healing people's teeth rather than drilling, root canaling, removing teeth. Among them was Ramiel Nagel who I really was fascinated with his information. Actually, I learned so much from all of them! I hope others listened to these.
Anyway, I ended up ordering Ramiel's book called "Cure Tooth Decay" because I wanted to learn even more from him and also wanted in print, the information he had given. The book is really great. Each chapter is filled with valuable information. He details Weston Price's valuable work in healing teeth and then extrapolates on the information. Some of the information on what to eat in the diet to actually heal teeth and even stop cavities in their tracks is in chapters 3 and 4. I think, most importantly, this book empowers us regarding our teeth and teaches that fillings, root canals, implants, etc. Are unnecessary but, we can help our teeth to re-generate given the right information! Best of health to you, Lisa

Wow! That is outrageous. I have been having awesome results in taking care of my teeth by oilpulling with coconut oil and brushing with turmeric. Teeth are whiter than they have ever been as an adult and it has removed plaque. My mouth is very clean feeling and teeth very smooth. I see my gum line has come up as well. I oil pull right after I brush first thing in morning as it gets rid of any stain left from the turmeric and then brush with baking soda if there remains any bit of staining, but usually the oil pulling takes care of it. I oil pull strickly for the benefits to my teeth but if any other health benefits come from it, I'll take it. I notice that I need to blow my nose a few times after I pull, most likely it is cleaning me out.

My body toxin load is so high that twice daily oil pull really contaminates my mouth & teeth, regardless of using otc mouthwash and occasional H2O2 swishing; I don't use coconut oil but otc veg oil (proly got gmo's) but I at least fortify the oil w/ vit-A & E and BHT. My teeth have never been darker. Yesterday and today I applied 35% H2O2 w/ a q-tip directly on teeth w/ a foaming result. Some whiteness seems to be already appearing and a small but prominent stain seems to be diminishing. I could be hallucinating from hopefulness but I know the H2O2 will whiten. For mineralization I have been swishing water during whole body mineral bath which also seems to be strengthening the teeth. Also an apparent tapeworm cyst in my jaw has reeked havoc on my teeth by spewing out pathogens by the millions (i figure).

Now that Sjogren's Syndrome has been eliminated as the reason for my very dry eyes and throat during the night I started to think back to when it all began to try to see if I could find any connection to something that happened back then. The only thing I could think about is the placing of a dental implant. I know that it sounds far fetched but think about it, they place a metal device in one's jaw bones..... During the night my eyes become worryingly dry and so does my mouth now, so much so that I have trouble sleeping as I keep drinking water. For the eyes I got a cream which helps quite a bit. I know that if I phone the surgeon he is going to tell me that there is no connection whatsoever. I will phone him anyway but I wondered whether someone here has ever heard of something similar. I know dental implants can give problems but never heard of something like this. Thanks for any tips you people might have!

What soap do you recommend to brush teeth?
Fillings
Posted by Linda (St. Paul, Mn) on 05/29/2011
Carly- I had the same problem 12 years ago. I had replaced all my old fillings with new ones and could not chew on one side because it was so sensitive. My holistic dentist did not know if it would get better. This was 3 months later! Then I found a farm to get raw milk from. After drinking it for one week I was pleasantly surprised by being able to chew on the side that was formerly so sensitive! As another bonus, the sensitivity of my teeth in general has improved. No more sensitive spots! To be fair, this was also about the same time that I started eating more organic veggies and Celtic sea salt. During this same period of time, a breast lump that I had had for 3 years also dissappeared. I think that had more to do with replacing the old fillings than the addition of raw milk to my diet. Good Luck!

Hi Lisa - No... I have not tried it. Interesting, possibly raw milk would work.... I will look into it. I do know it is supposed to be great stuff.
Thanks!

To the dentist. We love our dentist. We love our cleanings. I am not a fan of murcury as we ALL know it is a neurotoxin EVEN in small amounts!
I got 4 fillings by an amazing dentist and my health began to fail soon after. I had twiches in hand and my immune system wet downhill until I cleansed for a very long time.
Now I go ONLY to a holistic dentist.
It is 2011 not 1970.

Hi Kate I recommend you read the articles in "Healing Teeth Naturally" I just have the same problems with my teeth and just got the xylitol (I can't find right spelling) powder, and I am ordering the horse tail herb. Hope you can benefit from it. Aurora

Re: vitamin K... For general bone loss I would recommend adding Natto to your diet... Takes an acquired taste but works well mixing it into a grain... Like rice (with eggs).. -also very important, some form of weight bearing exercise.
Here is info on Natto and bone density...

Also you can do a search on "remineralizing teeth" to find an eHow article.. Oil pulling, No glycerin toothpaste.. I prefer some tooth powders, or make your own with calcium.
Removing Dental Fillings

I also began oil pulling recently and also noticed some of the same 'symptoms' as those described here about a month into the regimen. (Tenderness and some bleeding from one of my upper rear molars.) Very pleased to learn that with perseverance, the 'problem' should resolve on its own. I'd like to begin using the soap flakes mentioned here, but am uncertain what to buy. Without naming the product you use, can you describe it well enough that I'll know what I'm looking for? Thanks!
