5 out of 5 stars

Tooth abscess /swollen gums:

  • Mix about a teaspoon of DMSO with a pinch or two of table salt.
  • Dissolve the solution/apply with finger on top of the abscess and all around the affected area. Spit.
  • Do not rinse or eat for at least an hour.

Bedtime application works best. bye bye root canal $$$$

Also ground sage and water make a great oral rinse for fast toothache relief.

But for infection & abscess, the DMSO and table salt mix applied topically can't be beat!

Hello, is the DMSO you mention diluted or is it at full strength?

I used it full strength and put it on a brand new toothbrush to help get it inside my sore tooth. I brushed and then spit but didn't rinse. DMSO tastes truly vial but the pain in my tooth superseded my distaste. I tried to gargle first but kept gagging so this was a better solution for me. I've used it twice so far and my tooth pain is better by about 75%. I will continue to see how it goes.

How did it work for your tooth pain? Considering trying it bc I'm trying to avoid a root canal at all cost!

Hallo einfach Pures DMSO oder mit Salz gemischt mit einem Finger einmassieren auf Zahnfleisch. Unter Tags mehr mals und vor dem Schlafen und nicht spülen. Wurzelkanal wird wieder heilen... Danke und Gute Besserung


Hello, simply massage pure DMSO, or DMSO mixed with salt, onto your gums with your finger. Do this several times during the day and before going to sleep, and do not rinse afterwards. The root canal will heal... Thank you and get well soon!
