the idea is to stimulate the area around the tooth to bring blood to the area and remove debri from the tissue.

 

I have read of techniques using peroxide, baking soda, cayenne, salt, tea tree oil etc.....

 

keep searching but here is one i have heard of from a real great dentist in Florida; (dentists in the past, old timers, conservative dentists and those from communist contries have versions of similar recipes also.

 

1) First brush your teeth and floss

2) then mix a batch of 3 parts baking soda and 1 part salt in a container

3) -pinch some into the palm of your hands and add make a paste with a few drops of water. (If you do not have silver amalgham fillings, you can get more benefit from using a few drops of peroxide to add to make a past instead of water.)

4) -get the mixture onto a small child size soft 3 row brush......and vibrate the mixture into the area betwwen each individual tooth and gum. The idea is for the brush to vibrate the mixture into the space between the gum and the tooth. Do not go in circular motion or back and forth. It has to be jiggled in.

5) - Go on the outside of each tooth, then the inside, back, top etc.

 

Do this once a day, untill you get use to it. Then 2 times a day. When yiou have been doing this 2 times a day for 2 weeks, the gums willl be nice and tuff and pink.

 

IMPORTANT: Baking soda and salt can be real painful on bleeding raw sensative gums and teeth if the enamel is worn out especially. So you have to be a quinie pig for a while and try just a dab to see what you can handle. Or even dilute the mixture so it does not go on so thick.

 

 

There is also a book called the "smiley method" which does a similar thing but uses a ssyringe to drip a mixture that contains a bit of peroxide and something else into the pockets betweeen the gums an tooth. You can oder it on line.

   Hello all, I'm new to this group and I am looking for tips on
fighting gum disease. My boyfriend was recently let go from his job
and we lost our insurance. We also have a baby so things are tough
and I'm not sure when he can go back to the dentist. Anyway, on his
last visit he was told he had gingivitis, not severe but it was
getting there. He is only 20 and he brushes more then twice a day. I
am worried that things might get worse and most of what I have seen
on the net says he needs perscriptions. Without insurance this is
tough to do, so does anyone know of a good solution that will help
treat his gums until we can get back on our feet?
