Re: DMSO cures Sensitive Teeth (exposed roots)

[Guest guest]

Dan,

Good post. I have used ordinary hydrogen peroxide as a rinse after

brushing and using my water pik. It fizzes and foams. I leave it for

some twenty seconds or so and then follow up with original listerine. I

have an exposed root due to a receded gum at a molar. It has never

given trouble whatsoever, but can trap bits of food at times such as pot

roast or bits of my daily salad. I give credit to the hydrogen peroxide

for avoiding discomfort so far. I get it for about 75 cents a pt at Big

Lots.

Will keep the dmso in mind if it ever develops into a painful problem.

Good idea! I'll have to try this next weekend; the last time I applied CS

+ DMSO to my face, my co-workers told me that I stank!

My naturopath suggested adding liquid folic acid to water and swishing

that to reduce tooth sensitivity. It's worked pretty well. I'd like to

give it a real test like eating ice cream, but I've given up sugar and

haven't had ice cream in a long time. :-(

Gerry,

I suppose that the hydrogen peroxide may be performing the same function. I

don't want to use that in my mouth because when I do it corrupts my sense of

taste for quite a while. DMSO is quite bad tasting, but it doesn't mess up my

tastebuds like the peroxide does...

Do any DMSO application to the gums at night. It should be tolerable by morning

when you go to work. (Don't swallow any...)
