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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
