So here is what I've been doing.
Make a natural re-mineralizing mouth wash.
Materials needed:
* Sea salt (NOT Table salt) 2 TBSP
* Baking Soda 6 TBSP
* Water 1 liter
* 1 Liter empty soda bottle
Method:
Add 2 tablespoons of sea salt and 6 tablespoons of baking soda to the empty bottle. Add water to about within 2 inches from the top and cap bottle. Now shake the bottle til salt and baking soda are completely dissolved. Your mouth rinse is now ready. I keep this bottle in the shower and use it as a mouth wash while I'm showering. Swish it between teeth for 2 minutes. Then spit it out. Do this once daily.
Next, I changed out my toothpaste for a tooth powder (Dr. Christopher Herbal Tooth and Gum). I remember reading about glycerin used in toothpaste and how it coats the teeth and prevents any absorption of any kind. “When glycerin is spread over the surface of our teeth, it leaves a film or residue which does not easily come off — it can take somewhere between two and three dozen rinsings of the mouth to completely remove it.” I think this is part of my problem with my teeth. So, I switched to an herbal tooth powder with nothing but herbs and spices in it. Results: The jaw bone and teeth are MUCH stronger. Not lose and wiggly anymore and don't move around when I push on them. Pain in my upper teeth and gums is almost gone (think god).
Overall they feel better. I will be continuing this treatment for a few more months based on the improvements I've already seen. Using a sea salt mouth rinse to aid in dental health is by no means a new practice. In fact, many ancient medical scripts refer to the use of saltwater.
There are even a few papyruses dated as far back as 16000 B.C. in which Egyptians detailed how to use their recipes to treat a variety of medical ailments. One of the most commonly used treatments seems to have been utilizing salt for its anti-infectious properties. The Ancient Egyptians were not alone in their understanding of the benefits of salt; the Greeks are another ancient civilization that had an early understanding of the anti-inflammatory benefits of using salt. The presence of salt and baking soda in your mouth increases its pH balance. The environment that results is very alkaline, and bacteria cannot survive in an alkaline environment. Bacteria is only able to thrive in an atmosphere that is very acidic. When salt is used on a regular basis, bacteria will not be healthy enough to reproduce, resulting in a healthier mouth.

Wow, Rob, that is awesome! Thanks for sharing!Replied by Barb from Oh on 02/23/2022
Be certain products used have no glycerin-like ingredient to close up tooth surface. Take care of bones with sun, vit d3 and k2. Thank you for this. I'm gonna try.Replied by Mel from Canada on 02/24/2022

Thank you! This problem began for me when I started using a mouthwash with glycerin as one of the ingredients! I would never have realized had I not read your post. Thanks so much!Replied by Jamila from NYC on 04/30/2023
How in the world did you get all that baking soda to dissolve?! I've tried in the microwave and even on the stove and theres still some on the bottom! :-0 Also, is it okay to drink water after doing these things or is it best to wait awhile? Thanks!Replied by sandy from Il on 05/19/2023
In which form you have taken boron? tablet or powder. Did you take it internally or applied on your gumsReplied by Rob from Kentucky on 06/03/2023
If the baking soda is not dissolving, you can try making it dissolve into boiling water, then let the BW cool to room temperature and then add the sea salt. Or, cut the amount of baking soda down by half. Some is better than none. All baking soda must not be equal...Replied by HisJewel from New York on 01/08/2025
Greetings EC, Rob from Kentucky and All,A Happy, Healthy Prosperous New Year to You.
In spite of my chatter, this post is about Sore Gums.
I had recently stated that salt does not raise my blood pressure anymore (bacon would), but I have learned that if I take enough salt it will. Early 2024 my blood pressure dropped from high blood pressure to low blood pressure, it read low and even adding more salt back to my food did not keep it leveled. My diastolic pressure would sometimes be 35 upon waking.
Now to the point, when I last went to the dentist, I was told that I had five teeth that needed to be pulled. Well only one tooth was trying to hurting me. What bothered me most was sore gums. If a person is over seventy and has been diagnosed with osteoporosis, I do not think having teeth pulled is going to help their quality of life. Some people I knew that had osteoporosis had to deal with broken bits of bones coming up out of the gum even long after their teeth were pulled; they never got to enjoy using their replacement teeth.
When I saw Rob's remedy, I decided to try it. I started on December 7th 2024. When I first started, I swished twice a day. About two and a half weeks in, I noticed that my blood pressure no longer took a steep drop; my new diastolic low was around 62. So I went to just swishing once a day like he said.
One month is now completed, my gums are no longer sore and I do not have to take painkillers for my tooth, thanks for sharing Rob.
Praise the Lord for people who do not mind sharing their remedies.
May 2025 be your healthiest year yet,
HisJewel

Julia Roberts is famous for her bright smile, and the actress says she owes it to her grandfather’s tip of using baking soda. “I brush [my teeth] with baking soda. My grandfather would put a big, heaping mound on his toothbrush. He had only one cavity in his entire life, ” Roberts said.Her grandfather was around in the early days of medicine when sodium bicarbonate made by the Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Company was in its heyday, publishing about how baking soda can be used as a medicine. Yes, it keeps her teeth white, but it does much more than that. Sodium bicarbonate, used in more and more kinds of toothpaste and the newer dental teeth-cleaning devices, is the very best agent for the maintenance of oral health because it changes pH, radically disrupting the constantly rising tide of bacteria and fungi that threaten the health status of the entire body.
With ample brushing, sodium bicarbonate can break through pathogen films, called biofilms, that sticky stuff that turns into hard tarter your dentist must struggle to remove while you grin and bear it.
Bicarbonate has been shown to decrease the acidity of dental plaque induced by sucrose, and its buffering capacity plays a significant role in preventing dental cavities. Studies have shown that bicarbonate inhibits plaque formation on teeth and, in addition, increases calcium uptake by dental enamel. This effect of bicarbonate on teeth is so well recognized that tooth powder containing sodium bicarbonate was patented in the USA in October 1985. Sodium bicarbonate has been suggested to increase the pH in the oral cavity, potentially neutralizing the harmful effects of bacterial metabolic acids. ~ Dr Sircus https://drsircus.com/chlorine-dioxide/periodontitis-chlorine-dioxide-and-cardiovascular-disease/
