WARNING! You do NOT want to mess around with an abcessed tooth. They are extremely dangerous and must be treated quickly. The infection can, in a matter of a few hours, travel down the neck and into the heart or up into the brain. This is what used to kill people in the old days. DO NOT TAKE CHANCES WITH A TOOTH ABCESS!!! See a dentist ASAP! If you can't afford a dentist, try looking for free dental clinics in your area.Replied By Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 02/12/2012
I very much agree with Gene R. From Barrington, An abscessed tooth is NOT something to play around with. A good dentist is needed for this potentially dangerous condition and is very treatable by a good dentist. With timely care the tooth might be salvagable. And it may not be. The longer you wait for such care the less likely the tooth will be salvagable. In the GOOD OLD DAYS: the ONLY remedy was tooth extraction and this was what was done. Some conditions DO require timely care by a qualified doctor. An abscessed tooth is one of those conditions....OscarReplied By M (Utah) on 11/20/2016
I've had a broken tooth from a filling that has caused an abscess a couple of times (swollen jaw and gum too) using clay and Apple Cider Vinegar I've stoppped the infection both times and the tooth is slowly growing back. Fat soluble vitamins, clay and acidic foods are great for health in general and dental health. Blow off the fear mongering comments above...there are natural remedies that work even for painful infections.Replied By Diane (California) on 01/07/2017
May I ask how you were able to slowly grow back your tooth. What does your diet consist of? Can you please give a detailed description of what you eat everyday. Did you put the apple cider vinegar on your tooth to stop the infection? I would truly appreciate your response. Thank you!Replied By Yvonne Bent (California) on 03/29/2017
In regards to clay and apple cider vinegar, each of these substances increases the alkaline level in the blood and body. Acidity in the body breaks it down, whereas alkalinity brings it up. As light orders all matter, the light level in the body (pH, meaning potential hydrogen, and the sun is a hydrogen star--can't get more light than that) it is showing how the natural things enhance the body to respond to its most natural method of healing.Replied By A.b.

I hope you are still around.Can you please tell me how you used the clay and apple cider vinegar protocol? I am extremely in debt and have no way to pay a dentist. This feels like an abscess. Thank you for your help and I truly mean that.Replied By Mmsg (Somewhere, Europe) on 10/03/2017
A.b. I use only clay. Mix a little bit with water to make "mud". Apply and leave it there a while. Rinse. I do it a few times a day.Replied By Ab (Concord, Nc) on 10/03/2017
Thank you for the reply. How do you deal with all the saliva that the clay produces?Replied By Katzie (Calgary, Alberta) on 04/25/2023
I have stopped many dental problemd with a q-tip and Hydrogen Peroxide - and it works every time! One short stop at a dollar store ought to do it.
And if you are worried about losing your teerh, or they feel loose in their sockets, you should order some Bee Propolis w/Iodine Tincture. This I one of its specialties and works!! Amazing stuff.
Best of luck!Replied By Katzie (Calgary, Alberta) on 05/01/2023
I found it in Mexico. But I believe it would work just as well to add iodine drops to bee propolis yourself. My bottle is a tincture. It was interesting as it sticks to the "seat of the infection", so I could see where the troublemakers were. It works quickly and I was amazed at the difference!
