Dental Health Tips and Remedies

Hi, I live in a hardwater area and recently purchased a Water filter kettle to reduce limescale. I have also lost a few pounds recently. I have just noticed today however that one of my top front teeth is actually going backwards, (I noticed this after inspection as my bottom teeth seemed to keep bumping off the top ones a lot). I am 35. I have also changed toothpaste lately which leaves a burning sensation in the mouth, but to be honest they all seem to do that nowadays, so I don't know is it the fact that I now take medication, or are all toothpastes like that nowadays. Anyway I am wondering could the water filter be removing vital minerals or whatever from the water along with the impurities. I read here on earth clinic that if you are supplementing with a multi mineral that it should be equal magnesium/calcium which I have now purchased online. However I have since been on the net and have seen a ionic mineral calcium 10mg. Would taking this upset the balance of the multi mineral when I start taking them. I have also seen a formula for bone support which includes calcium and zinc magnesium etc. Has anyone any advice which will get best results for my teeth. I really want to take the multi mineral for overall health though. Thanks

There is a site in here that TED talks about dental health and molybdenum and some other minerals, the teeth need more than cal mag d zinc boron, that is a good starting place. I always use what I own and then add new stuff, as I learn more information.

I take a full spectrum mineral that is 1 mag 1 cal and also take magnesium citrate for muscle with D and multi vitamins. Go to... how to change your life with magnesium by Carolyn Dean.

Coconut oil in the diet heals teeth and gums and intestinal tract, it's amazing in that it even removes sensitivities. I brush with it and coat my teeth before bed with a bit of baking soda. My teeth are back to WHITE WHITE , I have never had them whitened.

Clara: I just read an article on the ongoing research of Calcium as related to heart disease and stroke. Conclusion is to avoid over-supplementation or consumption of Calcium. So one needs to put more emphasis on Vit-D, Vit-K, and Magnesium. Phosphorus is not usually mentioned as it is the most abundant mineral in our diet, BUT if it is deficient, then results can be confused to Calcium deficiency.

Also, "absorption" of nutrients is a common and often underestimated problem. Candida Albicans is the most common culprit, along w/ H Pylori bacterium, but there are others like the nano-bacterias Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

I once heard or read that vitamin K was good for dark circles under eyes. I bought the cream but no results at the time. Anyway, I went to the store recently and they didn't sell vitamin k , so did some more reading and one site said getting vitamin K out of balance with supplements apart from doc prescription could be dangerous....so what is the verdict ??

Eating cauliflower and brussel sprouts is a safe way to get vit k ~Kathy~

Joy, Joy, Joy, you seem to be trying so hard and I feel you could be causing more problems trying to fix them. I'm sorry to be so blunt but none of us can believe everything we read. Test everything, hold on to the good and avoid evil. I learned the hard way to find out what foods provide me with the vitamins/minerals I need. There is plenty of what we need in the food and our food has been tainted. If you take vitamins/supplements on top of what you are eating you don't know what you could be getting too much of that contibutes to more problems. The toxic effects of some vitamins are also signs of a deficiency. The binders and fillers could be more of the culprits. Getting an updated nutrition almanac (because new things are discovered everyday) would be beneficial. I take magnesium powder in orange juice on top of a meal that includes complete protein. Magnesium binds with protein before it is absorbed in the intestines. Once in awhile I take 1000 mg of vit C hoping the amount of C offsets the amount of binders and/or fillers. Seems to be working so far. Oh, .. I also take BSM, turmeric and ginger) I am also full of adhesions due to multiple surgeries... another reason for the stool softener instead of the type of fiber suggested by someone else here.

It has been over a twenty year endeavor that I have learned this and I continue to learn. It all started with just wanting to avoid MSG. I would get headaches so bad I would vomit. The FDA is not telling the truth and they are not looking out for our best interest. We are all on our own to research and apply what we learn. Everything is not going to work for everyone. My PCP said that medicine keeps changing every four or five years. The medical profession is not keeping up with what is happening to our food supply. I do not mean to offend you, Joy, I've just noticed multiple postings by you and wanted to offer some suggestions to maybe look in a different direction.

OKAY---Joy, what I meant was to be looking more for what COULD HAVE caused or contributed to an ailment that could have taken decades to be revealed and possibly eliminating it. Using food as your medicine to help heal or correct it. Not everything will work for everyone but I cannot see a future for complete healing when supplements contain more harmful ingredients that can cause or contribute to any degeneration of organs or bones. I'm sorry if I am not making good sense... My brain injuries cause me some difficulty here. Being thrown from horses and out of a car, being stepped on, kicked, rolled over, having broken bones and ramming my head into our vehicle's door frame three different times, the MRI's show degeneration and a vertebra pressing on my spinal cord... I am not in any pain from those. My biggest problem is adhesions from multiple surgeries but I am learning how to work on that. Learning how to eliminate hidden sources of MSG from my diet started my road to recovery. EC has provided me with tidbits of information that is the cherry on my sundae. I guess now I've been OP for a month. You said you weren't doing it but I think you should. I use the CO and am very pleased.

You have not offended me, I appreciate your insights... and will take them into account. Thanks

I can tolerate eating it, drinking it, brushing with it and leaving a blob all over in my mouth before bed with a little soda(spit out in the morning) or in my biteguard during the day, but oil pulling sets off my sensitive teeth. I tried it a few times.

Maybe as time goes by I will be able to try that again. But for now I'm happy my teeth aren't hurting. Glad that OP with cocomut oil is helping your teeth and overall health. Love, Joy

I would like to try baking soda as my regular teeth cleaning agent but I read that it wears down tooth enamel. I know that a lot of people on here use it but how safe is it in the long run?

V, I've seen recommendations for using it only once a week.

Dental Root Resorption: Dentists and my research on internet has no clear causation. A horrible condition. Cells which are normally friendly decide to absorb the roots.

Appears mostly triggered by periodontal work and later distress. I found one non periodontal reference to very high acidic diet (I have). And one non periodontal reference to general sytemic health.

I want to take some action to prevent further resorption problem. Not enough info, and info is sooo dental-technical; difficult for me to understand.

Can you help?

I don't know what that condition is but I can encourage you to brush with coconut oil with a little baking soda in it. Eat some coconut oil to regulate blood sugars. Coconut oil is anti viral anti fungal anti microbial and anti bacterial. There are a lot of sites you can read up on it, if you are curious.... Hope it helps... my teeth are no longer sensitive and they are whiter and the floss comes out clean and the tongue is a healthy shade of red again.

There are also a few authors who wrote about healing your teeth with food and supplements and have some utube sites, can't tell you off hand ... Google search, Ted wrote about dental aids in one of these sites, I read it recently, maybe in children's remedies.

I was wondering if I could communicate with Joy from Battleground on her comment on healthy teeth. I also live right by her

Could you please recommend a Dentist for this and what was the cost. I'm in Toronto. Thanks

I highly recommend Gary M. McCown, D. D. S. , M. A. G. D. General Dentistry

Knoxville, TN (865) 579-3762

I live in Idaho and Dr. McCown is my dentist. I do not have much money but am very grateful and willing to go to TN. I went there 3 times in 2011 to clean up the mess from past typical dentisty. He is very much worth it! I have saved so much money in the long run and my teeth look so much better after seeing him (my orthodontist is good and yet didn't care for my teeth like Dr. McCown has). He is preventative and extremely good as well as very compassionate (and a great sense of humor). I also highly recommend the book "Am I dead?...... Or do I just feel like it. " By Fred Hughes. You will be suprised with the connection of modern day dentistry and cancer. I had breast cancer and now see how the work done on my mouth was a great contributor to the disease.

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

I am scheduled to go the dentist tomorrow and need a quick answer. they are going to charge me $600 for a deep cleaning. i definitely don't want to lose teeth, but that is a hefty price to pay? any suggestions...

Hi Sozo, I say look for someone else! That's ridiculous. My dentist whom I'd had for years kept ratcheting the price up and I stopped going. Then, a friend told me about her dentist and said he charged $70 for an amazing deep cleaning. She'd had him since the 70's and his prices and work are amazing. Not only that but he, himself did the cleaning not a dental hygienist like at my original dentist. So, I went and then took both my kids. And I live here in LA where prices can be ridiculous! So, look around and ask around. Best of luck 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).

Hi, do you have to do this daily? Thanks.

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!

i just got my routine dental cleaning and my dentist wants me to start planning for veneers on several teeth which would cost thousands of $ as insurance doesn't cover because it is considered cosmetic. I also have receeding gums. Is it possible to remineralize teeth? if so I am willing to try whatever I can first. is there diet (foods to eat/not to eat and supplements to take or not to use?) i will appreciate ANY and ALL information to help avoid this dental work! I value your advice. thanks

I have looked at natural/organic soaps for this purpose, but am confused by all the other ingredients. I assume one should avoid glycerin, since that is the ingredient in toothpaste that seals in the bacteria?

Most of the natural ones seem oil-based, and I do NOT want to have any unintended oil-pulling effects at this time (don't want to risk any toxin releases until I am stronger. ) Also, there are scents etc which make some of the soaps literally unpalatable. Do you have any suggestions, even if you can't specify brand names?? Thanks so much.

thank you bill for the information. I have started using soap for brushing, will start with peroxide as well. I was wondering your thoughts on the enclosed link that says you have to eat meat and no grain to remineralize teeth?http://paleodietlifestyle.com/preventing-and-healing-tooth-decay

thanks again

I agree with Sue from Fairfax, Va Usa, I have been checking soaps both brand names and from the Health Food Stores and cannot find a soap that does not contain glycerin. I even Googled "soap without glycerin" and did not get a good answer. Therefore, I think this should be on the exception list and soap names allowed. Maureen

Re: Maureen. Check out olive oil soap. There's a popular brand that doesn't have glycerin. I have used it before to brush my teeth. You might need some time to get used to the taste.

Aside from that try googling tooth soap. There's alot of companies selling soap made for brushing teeth.

We found a tea-tree oil and baking soda toothpaste today that was the only one in the store (health food store) that did not contain glycerin.

We were shopping for my husband who has had perfect teeth until very recently- now developed three very small cavities. We are unsure why except that we have stopped drinking milk for the past year or so.

As far as the oil pulling questions, I really think that for the minute or two the oil would be in your mouth would not be enough to produce significant oil pulling effects. All the oil-pulling instructions I've read indicate to swish the oil for at LEAST 20 minutes. So I think you would be okay. You could always just try it very short term and monitor your reaction. Good luck!

Use unscented or peppermint castile soap. Look for one made by a certain "Dr. ". Use google or amazon and it will show up. It is also in many "big box" retail stores and health food shops near the soaps and toothpastes.

I just bought a German made toothpaste biomed, calcimax, which supports enamel strengthening and remineralisation. No fluoride. It contains calcium hydroxyapatite. Also, Ingrid a medical intuitive recommends Bamboo extract. I recently ordered capsules from India.

Hi Frances,

Did it help remineralize your teeth?

Hi - Two weeks ago I had an old filling replaced with a new, larger one in a bottom molar - due to part of the tooth breaking off. It is an amalgam filling. Yes, I know, but I don't have dental insurance, and this was the least expensive option. He wanted to do a crown. Yikes. Anyway, it was pretty traumatic.

My question(s): Does anyone here on EC know how long a new filling can be sensitive, (too cold, and chewing) - it is normal to have it bugging me two weeks out? Also - does anyone know of anything that with help hurry it along to feeling normal again? :-)

Thanks for any help or reassurance at all.... I am scared this sucker will never be normal again!

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!

Thanks Linda - I am lactose intolerant so can't do the raw milk - I would if I could though! Sounds like trace minerals may be key here. Yes, if I had dental insurance (and were a bit braver! ) I would love to get rid of all of the mercury in my mouth. Good for you! :-) Thanks again.

Hi Carly, Have you actually tried raw milk? I ask because my husband is very lactose intolerant and so are my kids and yet when we changed over to raw milk last summer they can all drink it w/ absolutely no side effects at all! Anyway, that's my two cents...

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.

If you are still unsure about mercury amalgam fillings, watch this non-selling video on their risks and removal. It is kindly provided to us by the IAOMT, a non-profit worldwide organization that is publicizing the risks of mercury fillings and how to have them safely removed. http://healthymouthsummit.com/smoking-teeth/

Can you please tell me the name and address of holistic dentist. Or anyone who is reading this, please let me know if you know any good holistic dentist in chicago land area

Hi Everyone... There was a man called Dr Gerard Judd who was a Phd Chemist for 33 years. For 18 years he was a researcher in fluoro-organics and dental health. He was very anti-fluoride and some of his research results and simple advice might well surprise you. He also wrote an interesting book called "Good Teeth, Birth to Death"

Here is a letter from Dr Judd to the US Government which specifies and advises exactly what people should do do maintain healthy teeth. The letter is here:

http://www.life-enthusiast.com/news/o_dental_health.htm

Dental health is very important to the rest of body health. Ted from Bangkok has continually made the point that teeth are a major point of entry via cavities, fillings etc for bacteria and viruses as well as for heavy metals from fillings -- which usually go into the lymph glands and are so easily dispersed throughout the body from there.

Thanks Bill, ever since someone recommended this book here a while ago I have been trying to get it but it is quite expensive so, after someone else gave me the Internet link I am now trying to have my husband print it. Funny enough he had to become a member of Facebook in order to print the book. Have you ever tried to clean your teeth with soap and if so how do you do it? Do you rub a bit of soap on your toothbrush or on your teeth and if so what kind of soap? Doesn't it taste disgusting? I am dying to read the book and will post here my review when the link is ready!

Hi Francisca... I hope you're well and happy. I have indeed been trying Dr Judd's advice. I've been using ordinary bar soap to brush my teeth -- three good scrapes on the brush and away I go!! And it doesn't taste that bad either. I use a very basic unfancy bar soap with no perfume etc. I'll stick with it I think, makes sense when you read his explanations.

Toothpaste normally contains fluoride as well as glycine. We all know about fluoride, but glycine(as well as food fats) tends to coat the teeth and it is hard to remove this film -- toothpaste doesn't work and alot of toothpaste actually contains glycine -- this film apparently stops the enamel properly forming on the teeth and is a very important feature for dental health. Food fats and glycine tend both to coat the teeth and both inhibit enamel formation of the teeth. The only thing that can easily remove this fat or glycine film is simple bar soap. Bar soap also kills gum bacteria and helps to prevent gum disease. Dr Judd researched all this and proved it all mainly through observational testing.

Also whenever you eat or drink acid food like drinking coke or even fresh fruit juice -- this contains acid -- which is what actually damages teeth and not bacteria(bacteria damage gums). So to prevent cavities, always drink water after a meal to wash away the acid. This all seems like good common sense to me.

But I still use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate or dilute Iodine as a mouthwash periodically as recomended by Ted.

Thanks once more Bill! I have just had the first cold for over 7 years but other than that I am ok and I wish you a wonderful new year! I will try the soap. Usually the soap I have at home is either Aleppo soap, which is a very old Syrian soap and you find it easily here in France (it seems to be the oldest soap on earth)or else Savon de Marseille which also seems quite good (very French). I have no idea whether any of those would do..... I have the feeling that Aleppo soap might be better as the Marseille one seems to have been good but now not anymore so I will be ditching it (I have just done some research on it). I always try to drink some water after eating or drinking acids and never clean my teeth within 30 minutes of eating as the enamel is then softer. Do you dilute the Hydrogen Peroxide? And do you use it as a mouth wash every day? I will try to find it in the pharmacy tomorrow. I hope my husband manages to print Dr. Judd's book soon, no idea why he had to become a member of Facebook to do that anyway! I will try the soap tonight, wish me luck..... And thanks for all your good advice!

Hi Francisca... I dilute the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide when I use it to clean my ears or nose -- I dilute with the same volume of water which then creates a 1.5% HP solution.

But as a mouthwash, I just squirt the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide directly into my mouth and swish it round. It froths up alot so you only need about a teaspoon or two. And when I take it internally as a drink with water, I mix 6 to 10 drops in a glass of water.

Bill, the web page mentioned above is not available on site. Do you have another url?

I have had a history of gum disease for years. Now, I have bone loss which has gradually caused a small space in my front teeth to a large space and the teeth have moved. The dentists of course, all want to give me braces, implants, etc. All which is very expensive. I have begun to floss 2x a day and rinse with Listerine 2x a day. I am in my 60's and I really would love to have beautiful teeth so I can smile. Oh, by the way, I wore braces for 5 years when I was in my early 30's. Anyone out there know what I can do without going to the dentists. P. S. Six years ago when the space was very small, the dentist wanted me to wear braces. Apparently when the braces came off the teeth would have moved, since this was a "bone loss". Glad, I didnt spend the money! Thanks for your help

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

KAY: As I'm sure they told you (the same ones who haven't cured you! ), loss of the facial sp. Maxillary bone mass is a sign of either osteoporosis or advanced gum disease, or both. Have you heard of this guy? Brilliant chemist, worked on the Manhattan Project, now near 90. His book of a dozen years ago did not amuse the ADA! That might even be why the book is out of print and you have to scrounge the net. Basically you want to try most of all the Vitamin C/Baking Soda= sodium ascorbate fix in it.

NOTE the phone number near the very start! You may as well try it to see if it works, because his $15 cost is dirt cheap, and on Amazon it's not even available except through third-party sellers at twice the price! http://www.scribd.com/doc/451268/Dr-Gerard-F-Judd-Ph-D-s-Good-Teeth-Birth-to-Death-The-Prescription-for-Perfect-Teeth-Originator-of-the-Alcohol-Cure

Here's an excerpt from a page I saved no longer publicly available. Site went pay about 3 years ago. But the info here is enough that you can do your own search for additional details.
Article Summary

In 1945, Dr. Weston Price described "a new vitamin-like activator" that played an influential role in the utilization of minerals, protection from tooth decay, growth and development, reproduction, protection against heart disease and the function of the brain. Using a chemical test, he determined that this compound ?which he called Activator X?occurred in the butterfat, organs and fat of animals consuming rapidly growing green grass, NOT HAY OR STRAW! And also in certain sea foods such as fish eggs. Dr. Price died before research by Russian scientists became known in the West. These scientists used the same chemical test to measure a compound similar to vitamin K. Vitamin K2 is produced by animal tissues, including the mammary glands, from vitamin K1, which occurs in rapidly growing green plants. A growing body of published research confirms Dr. Price's discoveries, namely that vitamin K2 is important for the utilization of minerals, protects against tooth decay, supports growth and development, is involved in normal reproduction, protects against calcification of the arteries leading to heart disease, and is a major component of the brain. Vitamin K2 works synergistically with the two other "fat-soluble activators" that Price studied, vitamins A and D. Vitamins A and D signal to the cells to produce certain proteins and vitamin K then activates these proteins. Vitamin K2 plays a crucial role in the development of the facial bones, and its presence in the diets of nonindustrialized peoples explains the wide facial structure and freedom from dental deformities that Weston Price observed.
Main Article (On the Trail of the Elusive X-Factor)

Here's VITAMIN K2; just remember it's FAT-SOLUBLE, as it is found in butter originally! So take with oils or fats: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=vitamin k2&go=&form=QBLH&scope=images&filt=all

You will have to get the dosage off the bottle label, or ask a naturopath. Here's the retail X-Factor' Butter Oil with the K2 in it: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=x-factor butter oil&go=&form=QBLH&scope=images&filt=all

Re, vit K, if taking anti coagulants, get advice, vit K is an antidote for some of these. Happy and healthy new year, Kolin.

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.

Hello everyone this is my 1st time posting. hope i'm doing this right i'm in a lot of trouble. i guess my docs think i have osteomylitis in my jaw & collar bone. the pain is horrible i'm scheduled for oral surgery next month. any remedies out there that can help me?

thank you, TONY

I have also been oil pulling for a few weeks now and a ton of plague has come off of my teeth. Teeth are whiter too.. I will continue. I did have flu like symptoms and felt ill, but I knew it was the detox..

Bee, which oil are you using?

I had my metal fillings removed and IMMEDIATELY I was able to breathe through my nose better. It was so much so that it burned a little at first like when you get way too much oxygen (ever use one of those nose strips?) My dentist said that I must be highly allergic to mercury. I did not expect this to happen. Do not ever let anyone say that metal filling are not dangerous.

I have a bump on the roof of my mouth,I don't know what it is. my dentist saw it and didn't feel the need to xray because he said people get them. I want to use HP to see if it will go away. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i should use it in my mouth? Thank you for your responses. Mary

I crush about a cup of peppermint leaves with a mortar and pestle. I then put about a cup of baking soda in a short wide-mouth jar. Then I add the peppermint leaves, put the lid on and shake. You can keep it in the bathroom and when it's time to brush, just pour a little out into your hand or a small paper cup and dip your wet toothbrush into the mixture. Your mouth not only feels clean but the peppermint is really refreshing.
