Re: Teeth Cleaning Next Monday...argh!

[Guest guest]

Hi Dan,

I have had a plethora of dental issues in the last 4 years. I think

that my advice can help, as it helped me alot.

Purchase 2 items when you go for your cleaning. The first, is

Peridex, which is an antimicrobial mouth rinse. Dilute it in 1/2, and

rinse twice a day, for at least 30 seconds. It really speeds up the

healing process. It will also prevent furthur infection, after a

cleaning that intense. It's going to not be that pretty, because you

waited way too long to go for the cleaning. As a general rule, every

6 months is the norm. The reason I said to dilute the Peridex, is

because it can stain your teeth over time. This was a little trick

that my own dentist suggested, and does himself. I would probably

perform this ritual for about one month, until the gums really heal.

The next item to purchase, is a toothpaste call Fluoridex. There are

2 kinds, one for sensitivity, and one for whitening. The one for

sensitivity is the one that you want. Brush with it as normal.

However, if you are having alot of pain post-cleaning, you can apply

a small amount of the toothpaste with a dry Q-tip to the sensitive

gumline. It will greatly decrease the pain, and works better if

applied to a dry surface. You can accomplish this by drying your gums

with some sterile gauze before application. This stuff saved my life,

after I have periodontal scaling done, which is a very aggressive

cleaning performed if periodontal pockets = or > 6mm start to form.

Both items can be purchased at the dental office, and may total about

50 USD, but well worth it. Take it from one who has been through it.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!

I do 5000 mg Vit C in a small smoothie of juice and a scoop

of protein powder about 1 hour before the procedure. Ask in

advance to be able to rinse out 2 times during the procedure

with mouthwash, and again at the end, the strongest mouthwash

they have, if they have more than one.

Best to optimize the thyroid before scheduling the procedure since

thyroid has so much to do with immunity.
