Title: tooth/gum infection--what herbs/roots to use?
Post by: anti-light on November 17, 2006, 07:50:42 PM
my gum is now swollen... from a tooth thats been giving me trouble

i have been flossing and brushing gently now and i had to take some
antibiotics to help the swelling and pain

and the pain went away... but now i have a bump on my gum... that sometimes gets bigger or smaller depending on what i eat or drink etc...


so i have been using frankinsese peices.... under my lip... and it helps a whole lot

i was just wondering if anyone else has used a herb or root to chew on... like neem or lycorice....

and does anyone have a good source for fresh herbs/roots for dental hygene


and advice would be helpful...


thanks yall.... and PeAcE!

i have been going to dentists.... and such..

but from what i gather... people say that once you get one infection of
this sort.... its common to have it reappear again and again....

systemic is the word ive heard...

and im thinking....once all my dental work is done...

i would like to maintain... and use some type of root

such as licorice or other bark/root

i have heard that fresh wheatgrass.... chewed like a cow...
rejuvinates teeth and makes them regrow enamel




yup... i figured someone would have some holistic methods to talk about



PeAcE yall!

make tincture w/151 vodka & goldenseal root, myrrh resin, maybe some pau d'arco (taheebo, etc.), & others as you wish &/or intuit ---> clove, ginger, rosemary, lemongrass, peyotyl, cinnamon...
& then an eyedropperful of your tincture into a cuppa hot water for a gargle/rinse...

chew-sticks of galanga or calamus, nibbling on clovebuds...

brushing with baking soda, salt & peroxide...

floss & irrigate with a waterpic-like appliance...

Heya,
 I'd suggest Bee Propolis its a very potent natural anti-septic/biotic . Can get it at any healthfood store.


Peace

Its a jaw infection that started in your tooth
the dentist has to drill into it through a tooth and let your gum drain. Also antibiotics.  I had this happen when I was about 12 and I am 35 now and it never came back.   yet

I hope I'm not too late with this suggestion coz it really works. You have to pack cotton wool under your lip so that the sensitive skin doesn't come into contact with the treatment or it will sting.
You crush some garlic and place it on the swelling ... it stings a bit but its bearable.  You may need to repeat the treatment several times.
The other thing is to use hot water rinses - as hot as you can stand.  The anaerobic bacteria which are causing your problem don't like heat.
Hope it clears up.

i went to a surgeon...

and he is trying to arrange a hospital room and such

so that a hemotologist can be present

they want to keep me for 3-4 days... and pull 4 wisdom teeth

i will continue the treatments though

a friend said that fresh wheatgrass chewed like  a cow works

to rebuild enamel and teeth


ill let yall know


thanks...

Whenever something as serious as this happens, I go to the doctor ! =)

Now...If you don't have the dough to actually go to the doctor...

You can find most of the antibiotics that you need at you local giant pet store without a prescription.

You need to do some research tho' as far as which one you might need.

ever,

You may be able also to get free care at a Dental School.

Self medicating for something that could seriously hurt/kill oneself sounds dangerous.

If you cannot find a dental school, contact charities, gov't resources etc...

GoodLuck!

i just had my wisdom teeth plucked last wednesday...

i started out in a dentist office, but the procedure would have taken 2.5-3 hours, he ended up driving me to his friend (a local oral surgeon) and it took him 28 minutes, nitrous, iv, then im at the pharmacy getting a few vic's

best of luck to you man, speacialy with the hemo.

what clotting factor do you take, what did they recomend for you for this procedure?

id hunt down any hemo coagulates you can find/think of.


if its just a topical treatment, it may only assist your symptoms, especially if its in your blood stream.

sucks you have some problems, but im sure with all the right resources youll be just fine,

sorry i didnt link any real information, im tired and just wanted to throw my 2 cents.

take care!
