This afternoon I had a clove in my mouth which helped a little but I decided to give garlic a try- as I have a whole organic one sitting there and I like the taste of garlic I thought I have nothing to lose except having smelly breath! I have cut up a clove and swallowed it whole with water - maybe it'll help speed up this antibiotic working. I took 2 more pain killers at 9pm and by 11pm still is a great deal of pain- they haven't helped. So, I took another clove and peeled it and it is now sitting inside my cheek, resting on the gum and the tooth I think is the culprit- hard to know which is exactly the one as a few of them are throbbing. Well... Amazingly the pain is now greatly reduced! The garlic didn't burn either like some people have reported. Maybe that is cos it is an organic one? I hope this continues to help. I have to try and contact the dentist tommorrow- hopefully they will be open.
Many thanks to those who have posted their experience with garlic- here's to pain free and bacteria free teeth!

I promise you that if you do this, you will be astounded at how well it works.
Take a good sized clove of peeled garlic (the bigger, the better), slice it fairly thin, then chop it into tiny pieces. Let the chopped pieces sit for about 5 minutes, then put all of the pieces onto a spoon and gulp it down, almost as you would a pill, with water.
Do this 3x a day and you will be amazed! Good luck. Tooth pain is no fun. I feel for you.

I am amazed at the potency of garlic as a nautural antibiotic, and although I had always been aware of this property, I am stunned at how well it has worked on a particularly nasty gum abscess that I had been suffering from.
To cut a long story short(er), I have a grumbling wisdom tooth on my lower right side, and the flap that was partially covering it became infected about 2 weeks ago. By the wednesday of the first week I went to the dentist who informed me that the particularly nasty case of pericoronitis I had would not clear without antibiotics, even using the hot salt water rinses that have cleared more superficial abscesses for me in the past. By the Wednesday evening, I could hardly open my mouth, and I could feel the infection spreading into the muscles that hinged my upper and lower jaws. I knew it was a very deep abscess, but I was determined not to use the antibiotics as I am very much against the routine use of antibiotics unless in emergency situations.
So I commenced with the salt water rinses, echinacea, oil pulling with tea tree and sunflower/sesame oil to arrest the infection, and ibuprofen for the pain. These were working well enough, but, i.e I could feel that the infection was being drawn somewhat out of my jaw muscles over the next few days. I continued this course of action until the Sunday, when I decided to add grapefruit seed extract into the mix. This helped somewhat although worked no major miracles, and by the Tuesday I was ready to try terramin clay packed over the abscess overnight. This seemed to work well as on the Wednesday morning the abscess had come to a head and burst (uber gross!), but it was still inflamed and I could feel the infection was still there. But I continued with the terramin and the rest of my protocol over the next day, and yet again by the Thursday morning the abscess had refilled over night and now had not just one head on it but two!
At this point I came across garlic as a possible magic bullet - this was a real "aha!" moment, cos i knew of garlics efficacy as a natural antibiotic, but I just hadn't considered putting it on my abscess. So i went straight and mashed up some garlic in my pestle and mortar and placed some of the mash on my abscess and drank the rest down with some water. My god, the pain was incredible, so much so that I could not sit still and had to walk around the house inbetween rushing to the bathroom to get rid of the excess saliva my mouth was producing, but I knew that the garlic was getting to work and killing the infection.
Within 12 hours the abscess had reduced by half, and this morning it is looking pretty grizzly, but is almost back to it's normal gum profile with no pain and no refilling with that god awful pus. I am continuing with the garlic protocol until I am sure this is completely healed (and the oil pulling too as i think this is invaluable for gum health), but all other treatments I feel are now unnecessary - garlic is the magic bullet for oral problems :o)
All in all, I think that the salt water rinses, oil pulling, echinacea, grapefuit seed extract and terramin arrested the infection and drew it to the surface of my gum, but it was the garlic that actually killed it.

Garlic. Use it.
I have had a tooth abscess on my lower jaw due to an unfinished root canal I had 9 months ago. Its swollen with pus and the pain has almost been unbearable. I'm one of those lucky ones with no insurance, medical, dental or otherwise and I became so desperate that I actually tried to drain the abscess myself with a needle and some otc pain reliever.
It was too painful and very difficult to hold my mouth open at the same time.
Then, upon stumbling to this site, I discovered something quite wonderful. GARLIC. A whole clove. Cut in half. I knew it was gonna burn, but #%$&!
Be prepared for pain. Especially if you've cut your gum up with a needle. I could only keep the garlic on initially for like 5 seconds, but every time I made myself do it a little longer with a little more and WHALA.
About an hour later i can hold the whole clove in my mouth, cut side against the abscess and I can tell you now, that the swelling has already decreased SIGNIFICANTLY.
Consider me impressed. I'm going to continue with this and hope it actually removes some of the abscess. Thank God for this site.
GARLIC FOR THE WIN.
maybe do the garlic for a while and then the clay when you get tired of the garlic. or you could even crush some garlic and put it into some bentonite. also take turmeric. i have even had relief from abcess pain by swishing some tumeric mixed with oil in my mouth and brushing my teeth and gums with this mixture. good luck :) also eat raw garlic of course ;)

Anyhow, raw garlic is amazing. I had a fistula at dental extraction site, an oral surgeon cleaned it out and I had 4 ozone injections into the site. Still there was a small bump at the site, so I chopped it up some raw garlic in little pieces and put it in my mouth guard and went to sleep. Using the mouth guard eliminated the burning sensation. In two days time, the bump was gone.

It wasnt too painful, and not too much swelling on my cheek, but bad enough to make that side of my smile lower.. Almost a bells palsey look. I knew if it got worse Id be in deep trouble and a lot of pain. I started with Oil Pulling using EV Coconut oil, 20 minutes first thing in the morning and 20 minutes last thing at night. It seemed to arrest any growth in the infection, but didnt reduce it noticeably after 3 days. It did make the rest of my mouth feel great, and seems to be whitening my teeth a bit. I had no stomach issues, and I like the taste of coconut.
Since I was anxious to get the swelling down before leaving on a business trip, I tried the garlic method on the 3rd night. One large clove, cut in half, and lightly smashed to release the oils. I just tucked the first half clove in the corner of the gum and cheek. Some burning and tears for the first couple of minutes but not bad (I am a garlic lover to begin with). After 10 minutes I switched to the other half clove. I didnt chew or "gargle" with what was in my mouth, although I didnt spit out much either.
The next morning I thought there might be some minor reduction, but I wasnt sure. By that night it was definitely about half the original size, and this morning (a day and half after the treatment) its totally gone. The gum is almost totally healed, maybe a little bit tender.
I am going to continue with the Oil Pulling, Id like to see if it cleans up the tartar and improves my gums before I go to a dentist so he doesnt prepare a more extensive treatment plan than necessary.
Thanks to all contributors in both threads!

But yesterday I actually performed the wisdom tooth extraction, both the upper and lower one on the left side because the night before, I experience a terrible pain from the left side of my head (right beside my left eyes), my face area right below my left ear, around my jaws, neck and extend until my shoulder, slightly above my heart. I took painkiller but the pain doesn't go away even after 2 hours. In the end I fall asleep with the pain.
Before this, I also read articles about infection that could cause death because infection that is not treated can spread. It can spread wide and fast, and in the situation where the tooth/gum infection spread towards the brain, it will cause brain abscess which, in worst case, can cause death.
Unwilling to risk dying from saving two teethes, I decided to remove it since the problem doesn't seems to go away completely. And of course, the dentist comment that my wisdom tooth really shouldn't be there because it's not in the right condition at all. Definitely gone through some pain and uncomfort feeling from pulling the teethes, but I guess it's save me from experiencing random pain once or few times in awhile.
I'm not sure if it's due to my incorrect practice of using the garlic, or there is something that I missed. But I guess sometimes if garlic could completely helps to heal naturally and the problem don't come back, that's good. But on the other hand, we still need to depend on the dentist to check up and make sure that everything inside of our mouth is fine.
Hope no one need to experience the same things as me.

I haven't seen a dentist since the COVID crap, when they would not even accept emergencies.
So I have had my fare share of dental grief being 60 with really poor dental health and have endured horrible painful situations (besides being an alcoholic with DTs and heart, kidney issues).
But, I promised myself these people would never see me again when they refused emergency treatment because of "COVID". (Screw y'all, ya ain't gonna see my money no more, ya selfish greedy bunch).
What's infuriating me is that decent folks cannot have emergency health coverage in the US and have to pay $10K for emergency "endodontics" (screw your dental mafia jargon). So much for serving my country!
Hey US Govt, either you abolish income tax (and then I'll pay my own insurances), or if you impose income tax, then I request free emergency care, including emergency dental care (dental care ain't no cosmetic, you medical dental mafia scum).
I feel ashamed of the US Govt whether left or right because I see so many decent folks having to resort to risky self-medication and endure horrific suffering because of the medical-dental mafia that gets full support from the US Govt. SHAME ON YOU!
As I said, since the COVID crap I started self-medicating and learned how to use glass ionomer composite (GIC) to make semi-permanent fillings. (Check out "Where There Is No Dentist" on Amazon).
Then I had to deal with major abscesses which are always lingering and tend to recur unless one gets the tooth extracted. After much pain and experimenting, my current approach to address a major abscess is: chewed garlic every 20-30 min, and then at night a mix of bentonite clay + activated charcoal with possibly other ingredients such as eg turmeric, bloodroot, castor oil, essential oils. The point of using clay at night is that it gets many hours to act and then it has a slow but deep-reaching effect on draining the lymphatic congestion.
Then I had to deal with an upper premolar that would not stop draining pus. I lost patience and did my own extraction (no anestethic except a bottle of Wild Turkey). That was fun! The first upper premolars are infamous for root tip breakage. It happened to me as well but the tip was about 1mm or so and so far it hasn't bothered me.
Now I am dealing with another major abscess (which actually appears to be involving not one but two teeth, an old root-canaled one and another one that recetrly broke in half), but before goiing the extraction route, I want to experiment with apical closure using Calcium Hydroxide.
Researching online, I found that dental cysts resulting from partially failed root canals, can be healed over time with prolonged applications of Ca(OH)2. So I figured I would try the same approach with an abscessed tooth to see if I can manage to close the root over time.
This process if at all viable will take several months of applications of a Calcium Hydroxide paste so I am planning to remove the GIC I used initially and make a paste of Ca(OH)2 and glycerin and then close the cavity with temporary cement (I will use Dentek).
This is an experiment with no guarantee of success and it will take time to see results if any so in the meanwhile I am back to the garlic every 30 min + clay / charcoal overnight.
The above are a record of my personal experiences and ideas and I do not suggest in any way that anyone should follows my approach. Please go to your dentist instead.
But my main point in writing this post is to express outrage at our GOVT for allowing decent folks to have to endure such horrific dental trial while wasting billions in foreign aid (and I stop here to avoid getting too political).
May God bless you all and may Saint Apollonia martyr spread her love over you all my fellow dental sufferers. May the medical mafia be vanquished and a legitimate US GOVT restored under the US CONSTITUTION.

Garlic is nothing short of miraculous for dental woes. And the best part? It's dirt cheap and can't harm you at all.

I lost my filling due to the candy "sugar daddy" Yep, first bite of that hard caramel took my filling right out!
Never had any problems and my filling has been gone for months but when the pain started, it started! I did the temporary filling along with the clove oil for pain. It worked for a couple of months but has returned but this time with a swollen face and a headache. "I start a new job this week" I do not have the money for the dentist and do not want to lose my tooth so here I began my search of ways to heal naturally and affordably!
I'll let y'all know how it goes...sleeping with garlic tonight :)
Thanks again,

I use about 1/4 tsp. of each on eggs and/or vegetables. This seems to reduce internal inflammation and improves the products of elimination.

For any of you out there who are rejoicing at the prospect of socialised medicine I should explain that my dental misfortunes are directly attributable to the British National Health Service. As a child and in my teens I got regular six monthly check ups and was invariably informed that a new filling was needed or an old one required revision. I didn't know at the time that dentist only got paid for a course of treatment and not for merely examination so, of course, they invented cause to inflate the paycheck. By my mid-twenties I was living in California, working without health insurance and avoiding the dentist. In thirteen years one filling dropped out and needed replacement which told me something. On returning to the UK I used private dental treatment but here's the sad truth. In the public health sector, because the services are so much in demand, standards deteriorate abysmally and when this happens the private sector follows suit for both medical and dental care. As a result I now have some very expensive gaps in my mouth.
I turned to this page because I had the last root filled root out two and a half weeks ago and the gum is still infected in spite of salt water, hydrogen peroxide and grapefruit seed extract several times a day. No great pain but my sinuses are running like a tap so am about to try the garlic and thank heavens for this site.
As a point of interest I should pass on some praise for one great dentist I was lucky enough to find. This was many years ago in Mexico when a crowned tooth broke at the gumline. This lovely man performed a root canal and had me in every day for ten days to change the temporary dressing, even coming in Sunday after Mass to do so. The gold post he made is still there and this is the only treated tooth with which I have never had a moments problem.

For some reason painkillers he prescribed me have almost no effect, unless I double the doze and Penicillin takes 1-2 days to even start wokring. I was in horrible pain with stomach full of usless drugs when I found this forum. Needless to say I stuck a garlic glove right in my mouth and let me tell ya, the pain is GONE... almost instantly and swelling seems to be getting better.
Thanks everyone for the advice, I hope I can sleep better tonight :)

They are not kidding when they say it burns, but I paced around the house and after about 10 minutes the burning subsided mostly. I kept in in there for ten more minutes then chewed it up and swallowed the pieces. RELIEF! I can still feel the huge bump on my gum which is uncomfortable but nothing like the tooth and gum pain I had before I did that.
I will have to see what happens now as far as the abcess shrinking and my left cheek draining - it is full and swollen, but I wanted to quickly post just to let people know that the relief is amazing. Hope it continues to heal.
Thanks to everyone who has posted before to tell me of this natural remedy.
