Periodontitis Remedies

For bleeding gums,

you can try just putting baking soda on gums {where bleeding} for couple minutes and then rinse with water and swallow. I had bleeding gums and it did work.

Try oregano oil and apply it directly on the teeth. Do it several times a day. Also take 1 tbs of baking soda and 1 tbs of sea salt mixed very good and after you brush your teeth put the tooth brush on that solution and brush your teeth, it will take about 3 weeks to see some changes, make sure to dilute oregano oil with olive oil.

Have you seen some improvement in the three weeks? Tooth pulling is so final. 20 min is usually recommended for oil pulling. Try using a different oil occasionally eg coconut, or adding essential oils to your oil pulling oil. DON'T USE TOOTHPASTE, try making a solution of bicarbonate of soda and use this with your tooth brush instead. Using it dissolved in water is not abrasive. Sea salt rinses are good too. Take large doses of vitamin C spread throughout the day. Eat foods that contain garlic. I had success with these things. Sometimes I use a solution of xylitol for a good swish. Sugar is obviously bad, but I have found going wheat free and drastically reducing carbohydrates is amazing. I would give these a try for another couple of weeks before you go to the extreme of tooth pulling. Good luck.

I have been oil pulling for about 3 weeks for severe gum disease. I use sesame oil three times a day for 10 min each time. I have been told by my doctor that the infection is too far along for oil pulling to be effective. His solution is to have my teeth pulled. Am I wasting my time with oil pulling and is there another option?

I have read you can take activated charcoal an hour before or two hours after having had medications or vitamins. I just use the two hour window.

Hello everyone. I happened upon this site because I've been trying to get a little healthier?! I've had REALLY BAD teeth FOREVER and reading some of these remedies has really been amazing!! I've already done oregano oil as a supplement for a natural antibiotic & use a couple drops with my toothpaste (all natural!! ) and haven't noticed too much of a difference?? I am really intrigued with the coQ10 option I've just read? We have heart disease in my family (my father) & my oldest Sister passed BEFORE 50 & one of my younger Sisters has already had a heart attack at 38 & they put a stint in? So I'm gonna make sure I tell the other 5 Sisters about the coQ10?! My Father was only 67 when we lost him & it's scary to know I'm creeping up?! So THANKS for the info on this! I was looking for my TEETH...but got 2 birds!! I will be checkin in on this site more often😇

ACV in the form of a tablet is available on Amazon.

I have slight gum recession which has gotten worse lately. I found out that it's because I was eating (cheating, actually! ) too much sugar! First, cut out all sugar, then start oil pulling with organic unrefined virgin coconut oil (put the glass jar in a pan of hot tap water first so some of the coconut oil melts). Put @ 1 Tablespoon in your mouth and swish it around for 15-20 minutes. Then spit it out into the waste basket (otherwise it'll clog up your plumbing pipes). Rinse well with warm water and sea salt. Search for oil pulling remedies here on the EC site for more info.

Also, when you were using the Apple Cider Vinegar, was it the organic unprocessed ("with the mother")? Did you dilute it? I'd suggest drinking ACV with Baking Soda and filtered or distilled water with a straw if you want the internal benefits. The straw will help the ACV bypass your teeth.

Apple Cider Vinegar. I kept reading about how healthy it is. I have problem with gum recession, when I was taking ACV it would make my gums hurt like crazy and further recede.

Hi, I'm using 3% hydrogen peroxide.

Yes, surely you weren't using more than 3% hydrogen peroxide in your mouth? Sensitive people should even dilute peroxide further to 1.5%. (1/2 water plus 1/2 3% hydrogen peroxide.)

I have gum disease and my teeth are starting to become loose. I started food grade hydrogen peroxide with a bit of baking soda. My tongue has turned black. Is this normal and am I doing it the right way. Thank you.

Baking Soda: Bleeding Gums and Bad Breath

For bleeding gums, I take a measured tablespoon of dry baking soda, put it directly into my mouth and swish it around for a minimum of 5 minutes. (DON'T SWALLOW) Be careful (DO NOT GARGLE) with it in the back of your throat because the baking soda is to harsh in this concentrated form on the soft tissues of the back of the throat. Also be careful when putting the baking soda into your mouth, make sure you are breathing through your nose while taking it because if you are breathing through your mouth, while in the process of putting the baking soda into your mouth, you may accidentally inhale the powder through your mouth and it will get into your throat and block your airway. After doing this for 5 minutes or so spit it out and rinse and take your toothbrush and dry brush your teeth and tongue (TOOTHBRUSH AND WATER ONLY) until you feel a neutral clean feel in your mouth. Do this morning and night. Also be sure to floss, (BEFORE) doing this baking soda regiment. I also use my regular toothpaste, but I use it before I do the baking soda regiment and before I floss. So here is a quick simple step by step of what works for me.

1. Brush with regular toothpaste (brush tongue as well)

2. Floss (I like using waxed floss)

3. Baking soda regiment, as mentioned above.

For years I have had bleeding gums, mouth odor etc. This is the only thing that I have ever tried that worked. When I went for my last dental check up, my dental hygienist told me that the pockets in many of my gums shrank dramatically!!! Some went from 7's to 3's and 4's and I had only been using the above regiment for only 3 months. I am now looking forward to my next dental visit in March 2017 to see how much more healthy my gums are!!!

Apple cider vinegar for gum disease

I have been using apple cider vinegar 2 to 3 x a day in a pineapple smoothie. It tastes great and has cleaned out all pockets of plaque on my gums. I rinsed mouth out with water after drinking smoothy so I so not erode enamel on teeth. The Apple Cider Vinegar also cleans out my stomache, relaxes me due to high content of magnesium. I recently started drinking my smoothy with a straw, that way teeth are protected from enamel erosion. My dental technician was amazed at how healthy my gums and mouth looked.

Do you know what is the right dilution for bloodroot in a water pic? I purchased the extract and it says it's for external use only. I have periodontal disease, pretty advanced, so I got a water pic with attachments that go deep into the gum. I recently read that bloodroot is very effective for P.D., but I don't want to poison myself...

I have researched all of the known benefits of propolis. My question is regarding the use of pure propolis powder in all my kitties organic food which also includes powdered Garden Of Life and plenty of probiotics. The cat rescue that I run sometimes houses numerous animals, many of which have been homeless, neglected, and abused. Some of these four legged fur babies suffer from periodontal disorders. I am currently using an herbal propolis tincture which I make into a homeopathic tincture so that it does not sting their mouths. But it is quite a job to medicate each one individually as well as impossible to treat the skittish ones. Please if anyone has any information or recommendations, on dosing amounts etc. that can help me help them contact me at the Earth Clinic website.

I am thankful for any help.

My very best regards,

Cheryl

Search oil pulling for gum problems. It will solve gum problems, bleeding gums, and bad breath in about 7 days. Also whitens my teeth.

For Gum Disease, henbane tea rinse mouth, do not swallow. An excellent remedy with 100% effectiveness of recovery, henbane tea, be careful not swallow! Just rinse your mouth with it every morning for a week. Full recovery.

What about pink Himalayan salt.... lots of trace minerals.

During the middle of the night my tongue found a huge deformation in the upper gum on the left in the back. Didn't know what it was but upon thinking that I have had recent occurrences of my upper tooth being loose, I sensed it was an inflamation/swelling of the gum. It was hard to the touch of my tongue. I knew that equesitum hyemale had strengthened the bond of tooth to bone before so I thought that it would possible take that down if it was swelling. I had 1tsp of horsetail powder by the name above mentioned in a tea bag soaking over night in a mug of water and had already drank some. I in the past took it into my mouth and held it there for as long as I could. Last night I did that for about ten minutes and spit it out. I thought the swelling had gone down a bit. So I did it again. I went to sleep and this morning I know it was swelling because it was completely gone. I have been taking the horsetail not religiously to get sillica into me and organic grass fed beef bone and organic chicken bone broth, which ever bones I had, also for the silica content, religiously every day at least 2 cups per day.

I hope this helps. It is the direct application (transdermal) that works the fastest. I have also been taking borax 3 times a day 3 tsp (1tsp in a liter of water solution) sometimes with food sometimes with juice or water. I noted it in a recent post and reported that I was still alive.

My pet Babe, my only living heir, has had a growth on her chest inside her left leg and she is getting borax 1/4 tsp 3 times a day with a little sardines. I had been giving her tallow with olive oil on it and nothing was happening so I thought that I may have been nourishing the growth. Two days ago I began applying the borax solution with a cotton swab and today it is much reduced. I find it problematic applying the borax liquid and was wondering if something like DMSO would get it in deeper. I read that lanolin is a carrier (getting a substance in sub cutaneously). Anyone with carrier experience, please help.

Resveratrol for Periodontitis and Gum Disease

Resveratrol! Either as Japanese Knotweed Powder (Polyganum) or Red Wine Extract. I am somewhat amazed by how miraculously well and quickly (in my case) this worked. Within days of using japanese knotweed extract, my teeth began to tighten up. (I had mostly 4's but a couple of 7 pocket depths in the front teeth.) And my dentist appt confirmed that my teeth were tighter. I had this suspicion that my gum disease was due in at least in part to constricted blood vessels. I had been a smoker for many years and only quit 2 years ago, but also felt that as I got older (I'm in my '60's) my circulation was not great. I had been working with massaging my gums in the morning when my teeth seemed looser -- and that would help. But once I took extract of Japanese Knotwood it happened pretty quickly. Turns out it's a vasodilator -- so in my case part of the problem would be reduced blood flow.

Hard for me to recommend a dosage because I'm hypersensitive and don't need much -- but I suspect using what's shown on the bottle in whatever form you use as a daily supplemental dose would be enough to see if you find a difference. (As a secondary benefit -- this also seems to have improved blood flow to my brain...I had felt the same way -- like the blood flow was constricted and I wasn't getting enough oxygen to my brain -- and this helped to clear some cobwebs.)

Be aware that Activated Charcoal absorbs impurities and MEDICATIONS that are in your system as well... so use at your own discretion.

I had gum pain so I started taking 500 mg mornings hesperidin. The gum pain improved immediately and disappeared over the next 2 months. Hesperidin is a bioflavinoid.

No no no, do not use hydrogen peroxide in straight strength like that for 40 minutes a day, (and twice a day! ), or even straight at all. It's killing live tissue. Wow.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

I tried this method and the first day my mouth felt amazing. The second day, however, I noticed more bleeding in my gum. This is day number three and I have stopped using this method. The inside of my mouth and gums feel raw. I definitely should have diluted the acv.

Pharmacies like walgreens carry it as well.

This is a question & concern we get all the time. Activated charcoal isn't abrasive.

Jillery, did you notice if swishing with h2o2 thinned your tooth enamel?

I had been getting Astilin pellets put into my gums for the pockets around my gums by the dentist... like pockets of 5 to 9. I started using those plastic picks to floss with and when I was done I swished peroxide around my mouth. I HAVE NO MORE POCKETS AND MY GUMS ARE GREAT!!!! My current dentist says to keep what I am doing as he saw the old records and cannot believe what healthy gums I have now.

Where do you find these tinctures? Extracts for tea? Like bark! And are they affordable? Thanks in advance!

One head's up about aloe Vera juice: a lot of them sold in stores contain quite a lot of sugar, which is definitely NOT healthy...

I think she is counting how many (9) 5mm pockets she originally had-- and now only has (4) 5mm pockets. And she no longer has any 7mm or 6mm pockets.

(But I don't understand why (6 pockets) that were 4mm would have increased to 7 pockets if the other gum areas were improving.)

I had chronic gum disease inflammation. Tried cleanings and many natural products. The best was rubbing oil my Oil of Oregano and Bentonite Clay on my gums a few times a day. At night I would rub White Oak Bark powder. I also take 3-4 drops of Oil of Oregano 2-3 times a day either under the tongue or in water. I noticed the tips of my front teeth's enamel was wearing thin. I tried the natural remineralizing powder and it worked. I also make my own mouthwash and added natural green Stevia powder to it. Stevia prevents tooth decay.

Here's the remineralizing powder (brush on and keep on for 3-4 minutes then rinse with water).

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. calcium carbonate
• 2 tbsp. bentonite clay
• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 1/4 cup Himalayan salt, whirled in your spice grinder until a fine powder

Yes, Betaine Anhydrous, aka TMG, works. I have been going through gum pain for past 2 years and I couldn't figure out the issue and I spent lots of money. Recently I bought raw betaine anhydrous powder and I drink it with my pre-workout powder. Not only I get good pump but my gum ache is almost gone, this is miracle. Give it a try, all you gonna losse is 10$

I've rinsed with H2O2 3% 1:1 or even 1:2/1:3 solution only twice with a few days break between. It made my tongue whiter. Now, after the second rinsing I can "feel" the white coating on my tongue. I feel as if hydrogen peroxide has killed all the bacterias in my mouth, like my tongue is completely sterile now...

What can I do now? I'll definitely NOT rinse with h2o2 anymore...

Try using sage as a mouthwash for bleeding gums. I buy a toothpaste which has sage in it. It stopped my gum disease and it helps heal bitten lips. Bites took me 4-7 days to heal as it swole up and kept on being bitten... Now I know I've bitten myself 'cuz it hurts but that's the last I know about it! I know it also sooths and heals the gastrointestinal tract. Good luck.

When I was a girl, I had canker sores often in my mouth. Once my mother bought an over the counter product for them. I didn't like the taste and wasn't consistent in using it. Now I realize it had hydrogen peroxide in it, because when I rinse with hydrogen peroxide, it tastes like that medicine did! It takes me back 40 years instantly. Of course, that medicine probably cost several dollars, and a bottle of peroxide back then was probably a quarter.

These days if I use hydrogen peroxide in my mouth, I do dilute it to 1%. 3% seems too strong for my mouth. So I just put one part peroxide and 2 parts water in a little cup to rinse my mouth.

Ken: Do you dilute the drugstore bought H2O2 before rinsing your mouth? Tx, Larry

Gum Problems:

I find rinsing my mouth with drug store H2O2 after I brush my teeth has kept gums in perfect shape. I've been doing this for 10 minths now and the dentist never has to clean my teeth.

I used to have bleedings sore gums all the time, but no more...just rinse and don't swallow. Any sore in my gums goes away over night.

I bet your denstis witll never tell you this. Google H2O2 and Gums. Wow!

Hi , I know this post is so very old and I am probably to late to make much of a difference if your gum disease has progressed. I got diagnosed with this horrid disease also and read up about it, Apparently I came across a dentist called Rami Nagel who cured his daughter's dental decay.

Well overall, I learned that a diet that is rich in grains that has not been prepared the correct way can lead to huge dental probs. Since I started eating more wholegrain stuff and became vegetarian that was the start of all my health issues. Apparenetly these grains are covered in physic acid natures way of protecting the grain and the body can utilise it, intact it binds to calcium and zinc and other minerals important for bone and removes it froth body as it passes through the system unassimilated. It has to be removed through sprouting soaking or souring. Google it up online, there are lots of sources.

Vit d also imperative and a good homemade remineralising toothpaste, flossing and I think mostly change diet, avoid sugar like plague. This is day 3 for me with no sugar, wow its hard, I did buy some xylitol for when I fancied a hot chocolate to take that craving for sweets away. Even too much fruit is bad, for teeth, that has decay or other issues. I hope even though it is years after your post, you or someone else finds this little bit of info helpful. Sorry I have not given lots of details.

Hi Joe, thank you for your post. I am in full agreement. I deal with my teeth myself having much support from HEALING YOUR TEETH NATURALLY online for years. It is a scam indeed and in my opinion, criminal, when researching, especially root canals and the effects of this ignorant practice. They learn how to make money, not to help fellow man.

People who poison with fluoride and mercury should be avoided. There is much one can do, yes, with abscesses as well.

Thanks, Namaste, Om

Baking Soda is the cure all for your dental and mouth care. But you first need to understand how and why it works.

First let me mention what I used to use and what the condition of my mouth was. I am 43 years old. And I was raised as a "Crest kid". I thought my teeth looked good growing up. But it didn't keep me away from the dentist. I still got cavities. My teeth are food traps. So that made it even more difficult. But no matter how much I brushed, the problems would not stop.

I eventually suspected that toothpaste was not working at all. I began hearing about how Fluoride was toxic anyway. So I looked for alternatives. I had already been using baking soda for occasional stomach acid and washing hair. I also became aware that it helps get rid of cancer. And as it also turns out, baking soda was once a common cure for many health problems years ago. That is, until the political lobbyists worked to cover it up.

After some education, I realized that the reason baking soda is so marvelous for the human body is because it has a pH level that is very alkaline. And modern bodies are often very acidic due to the diet and water that is being supplied to the public these days. This affects hair, teeth, and every other part of the body. So baking soda basically fixes the pH for us. It helps cure cancer by making the body more alkaline, which will kill acid loving cancer. It helps hair by making it alkaline. So. When you wash it afterwards, using acidic shampoo, your hair will be more alkaline than it otherwise would be. And your hair will be more thicker and alive than ever. Baking soda helps your mouth by making it alkaline. Acid is what ruins your teeth.

I actually began using baking soda to brush my teeth more than two years ago. Every one of my mouth problems went away and never returned. Furthermore. Cavities that were starting came to a halt. They never worsened. The amazing thing here is that I only brush once a day. I still eat sweets more than ever. I basically wet my brush, stick it down into the baking soda, caking it on. I drip water drops on it until its full wet. Then spread it all around my teeth and then brush everything all through my mouth. I then take water into my mouth and swish and gargle well. Then spit. I do it once more to fully get out the baking soda. My mouth is then very alkaline. It then becomes IMPOSSIBLE for bacteria or any other monster to live in there ruining my teeth.

Now let me add. Do not fall for the gingivitis LIE. The dental industry is a big scam. They want your money. Its the same ole corporate/political scam to swindle the public. To keep us dumb. If everyone brushed with baking soda every day, most dentists would be out of business. Tooth decay cannot occur when your mouth is alkaline.

Which brand of fermented cod liver oil and COQ 10 is recommended? Thanks a ton

To add to this for Kay in Jax-- and for anyone else reading-- try fermented cod liver oil. It will help rebuild your roots, teeth and gums. Take lots of it, at least 1-2 tbsp every day. It also heals your gut if you eliminate all processed foods and sugars while taking it. I also highly recommend eating black walnuts. They do a FAST and easy job of remineralizing and healing teeth. I had a toothache once and chewed it and it was gone that very hour. We try to have our whole family chew some every so often, since we are dentist free.

WARNING!

I am a scientist who has worked with hydrogen peroxide and familiar with considerable research regarding peroxide. I also am a strong believer in natural products and medicine, when possible. Please be aware that there are many forms of hydrogen peroxide, and what you typically buy at the store is NOT considered safe for consumption or oral use (in fact, many scientists do not condone use of this type of hydrogen peroxide for use in wound healing, either, as it kills beneficial cells as well as potentially infectious ones). What is used in oral products like mouthwash, toothpaste, or whitening products is not the same thing. Hydrogen peroxide that is produced in our bodies has benefits with regard to signaling processes, but is also damaging to the body--and our bodies produce other endogenous chemicals to counteract its effects. Recommending to a large group of people a chemical that has been consistently shown to be harmful in this type of use is ill-advised. I highly recommend revising your article on gum health to either remove or, at the very least, clarify your stance on the use of hydrogen peroxide. Thank you.

A few more things. Many years back, I developed sensitivity in my teeth with nothing in my mouth. any hot or cold would worsen them.

I tried using baking soda in water held in my mouth for 45 minutes a day 2 times per day. I tried that for 10 days and it was not successful. i

I decided to try 3% hydrogen peroxide and holding that in my mouth for 30 or 40 minutes 2 times per day. I would scrub the gums with the tooth brush also on and off. it was a way to massage the gums. After about 5 to 10 days - I forget exact time - my teeth sensitivity went away never to return. I wasn't even sensitive to hot or cold any more. teeth felt good.

Of course, I didn't know if it would work but it did. Whether it was the strength of the h202, the length of time I kept it in my mouth or a combination of the two that made the difference, I don't really know but it worked.

My gums would have that slight white gum burn from the 3% but it was no big deal and went away after I solved my sensitivity problem and stopped using it.

If you use dmso, i'd dilute it to 50% to 60%. This will minimize any burning. You don't want to get it on your lips either or outside of your mouth at full strength although you'll survive it if you do. DMSO is something that you get use to using thru trial and error. some people just swish it around their mouths.

I can only give you my experience. These are like tools. I am just showing you the various ways I used them or can be used.

Ultimately, how you experiment with them is up to you. Because you don't know if something is going to work, there may be some trepidation of failure ir despair from failure. That has happened with many many many health problems that I have had. When I have failure, I come up with something else to try. Ultimately after many attempts, I figure it out where things get better. Sometimes I have to fight and claw my way to success. The way to approach any possible failure is to think up new experiments to try while you hope that what your currently doing works. develop back up plans ... plan a, plan b etc.

Your bottom gums are fine but upper gums weak. Wow. Never ceases to amaze me on the never ending twists and turns to any particular health problem. This would appear to be some type of gum infection.

I would still try the Biocell HA. You have nothing to lose and who knows maybe it could help with other health problems even if it doesn't help the gums. Who knows, maybe the nutrients could tip the balance in fighting the infection. For someone younger, maybe vitamin C complex is enough.

Another thing I would consider is using DMSO on the inside of your top gums with Q tip then a few minutes later, put some hydrogen peroxide against the inside of your gums.

Don't allow DMSO to touch your cheeks. I did that and the skin peeled. Adjust dilution of DMSO to your own liking. I have used 99% with no problem in past. h202 will be way more effective than herbs against pathogens since it has oxygen as a weapon.

I know for periodontal disease, people use baking soda. They hold in the mouth for 20 or 30 minutes I think to let it soak in. So maybe another thing to add.

Given the uniqueness of your problem, please keep us informed on any progress or non progress. Even if you were to lose your teeth, you want to go down fighting trying to save them.

Hi Prioris,

Just wanted to add my experience -

I am kindof facing a similar situation with regard to my gums. I visited a natural dentist due to a very loose tooth and he believes its the root canals I had 20 years ago that is the cause for all my tooth/gum issues. He thinks they should be removed.

I have been meticulous in taking care of my teeth. Having oil-pulled for atleast 4 years (to no avail), used a bunch of herbs and anything that I thought would remotely help my gums/teeth. nothing has helped so far. According to the dentist there is only so much the body can do and with a root canal it is pretty much stymied in its efforts to heal itself. what is interesting is that the bottom jaw is fine, bone density is great and teeth are good. the top jaw - where there are 2 root canals is the one with a lot of issues and also bone loss.

That can be very terrible news to hear all your teeth will need to come out. Whatever you do - do not listen to the dentist. They are ignorant of natural cures. Do everything you can to keep them. The body has the abilitiy to heal given the proper nutrients and care. Also be aware that I am 60 years old.

I don't know everything about the state of your gums so use these things. I would come at it from different angles. Nutrients and cleansing.

I tried oil pulling to help the weakening gums but to no avail. I think how well it helps depends on how nutrient deficient ones body is and whether it is just primarily a bacterial cause. The older one is, the more likely it is a depleted nutrients in your body so oil pulling would likely help less.

From a cleansing perspective, you can use hydrogen peroxide (1 part water, 1 part H202).

Brush your gums with it briefly upon rising and before bed. It will be a form of massage to get blood circulating in them and minimize bacteria colony in your mouth. I don't know the state of your gums so just be gentle until nutrients start to build up. You don't have to do it long but just enough.

For nutrients, use Biocell HA. It has Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen which has high absorption. This is what will put nutrients back into your gums. As a side benefit, your spinal column will get replenished.

Take 3 to 6 capsules per day on EMPTY stomach all at once. Best time is upon rising or before bed. You can use more or less. It accumulates in the body but given the state of your gums, I'd go higher dose for first couple weeks. I used doctor best brand because it was least expensive.

My gums were weakening disintegrating due to age and some teeth were starting to feel loose. I happen to stumble on a cure while looking for a way to cure my herniated disc which it did. I used Biocell Hyaluronic Acid. It toughened up my gums within 3 months but I expect sooner. I can't tell you exactly when they toughened up my gums because I was focused on the herniated disc and only realized afterward.

When I went to have my first dentist appointment in around 13 years, they found virtually no pockets in my gums. My gums feel very strong. My teeth and gums are tight.

I hope this gets you out of your situation. Many people take care of their teeth very well all their life but they end up losing all their teeth due to deteriorating gums as they age.

Be careful with clydamycin use in the first site of this remedy. It could cause an extreme case of c difficile, mine lasted 6 months and had to buy all new clothes to fit my bag of bones frame. My eyes were also affected by nutrients not being absorbed from intestinal tract. I will never use clindamycin again. I had never had diarrhea for more than 3 days in my life

Aurora --- no need to go to Mexico. At least visit "healing teeth naturally" online.

It has saved me thousands of $$$$ . I am attending to them daily and do oil pulling as well. Best to read and find the many ways that are otherwise kept from us for the sake of commerce. Enough said. Namaste Om

Yes, I went to the dentist and he told me that my teeth all had to come out, I came out of his office crying and my daughter told me I should seek a second opinion. Long story short the second dentist told me that it was probably because I was in peri-menopause to seek the counsel of an endocrinologist. I started to read about hormonal unbalance, reducing my hot flashes etc. and kept my teeth for another 14 years.

After having cancer and getting radiation and chemo, my teeth are loose once more. When I visited the dentist, he only wanted to take them out, but I think it is hormonal again as my body had to deal with so much. I do what I can to keep my body from falling apart in spite of cancer and radiation. Read here that salt, ( shocking how simple remedies can be) can kill the microbe that causes the gum disease, I started using it a few weeks ago, my teeth feel a lot better. I am planning a trip to the experts, this time in Mexico, to see if they will give me a chance to explain my situation, for how can they help you? If they don't know your history or what you have experienced? Sorry this is so long, but I hope it's a help to you or somebody else, Aurora

I would be worried about the charcoal scraping off the enamel on my teeth. You aren't supposed to brush very hard so I can imagine that brushing with something abrasive isn't a good idea either. Has anyone had experience with this? Gum disease is no fun, but having no enamel isn't any better.

Fiona, did you ingest this or rubbed on the gums?

Was it in powder form? or? sorry about all the questions, my gums have been infected or swollen for a long time, dentists just want to pull teeth out, which I did but the problem is still there. Thanks for the info, I would like to try this.

Isn't that betaine? Did you brush your teeth with it, leave it in your mouth or what?

I cured a painful tooth infection by taking 100mg of Iodoral a day. I don't know if you can start the iodine protocol at a dose this high though...I was already taking 50mg a day when I doubled it for the infection. The pain stopped completely on the 3rd day. That was a couple of years ago. I hope this helps someone.

Hello Henrietta,

Try colloidal silver. You can take it orally and soak a bit of cotton ball and hold it to the abcess for a bit.

Dear Henrietta,

Garlic and/or activated charcoal added to what you are already doing may help to knock out the infection.

With the garlic - you would take a clove of garlic and slice a sliver of it, wrap it in a piece of paper towel and hold it against the abscess for 20 minutes several times a day.

Charcoal will also help to draw out the infection. The easiest way is if you can find charcoal tablets (not capsules.) You just hold one in you mouth against the infected area and let it dissolve there. If you do this at bedtime and repeat if you wake up in the night, you will have the charcoal near the infection for a long time, which would be helpful.

Taking garlic internally may also be helpful. 1 clove, crushed, four times a day. You can mix it with honey and spread on toast or just take it off the spoon.

I hope you feel better soon!

I use the cayenne pepper and goldenseal mixed together, the inflammation I was feeling is gone, but on my upper right side behind the wisdom teeth I still have a bump there and it got smaller with oil pulling, but the oil pulling loosened my fillings and I had to stop. I will continue to use the cayenne and goldenseal even it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Someone suggested coconut oil after brushing. I am going to try that now.

But I need to get rid of this abcess, any ideas?

Try gumtone... its an ayurvedic tooth powder or can be toothpaste...

Hey Carla, You can buy in any health food store like Fruitful Yield or Whole Foods, etc.

Dear Darla,

Some health food stores sell it. You can get it online from Amazon and eBay. I also like it from buyactivated charcoal.com

I was wondering where you purchased this activated charcoal? I went to walmart and no luck. Please advise. Thank you, Darla
