I have always had pretty healthy teeth, so I was shocked one night when I was brushing and had a spot at the toothline start to bleed a good bit. It hurt there when I flossed, too. I mixed goldenseal powder and cayenne together and brushed my teeth with it a couple of times that day. (Very spicy and tasted terrible! ) The next day the gum was back to normal! I got the idea from Lalitha Thomas' book, Ten Essential Herbs, which is a super resource.

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?

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!

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.

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.
