DMSO cures Sensitive Teeth (exposed roots)

[Guest guest]

I have had a problem with sensitive teeth due to somewhat receeding gums which

have exposed the roots of my teeth. (This recession ocurred before I learned of

colloidal silver and DMSO.) Whenever I would eat really acidic things (or even

a sour apple) it would have a tendency to etch off the protective coating from

the teeth roots and cause pain. The normal way to deal with this is to try to

use something like Sensodyne toothpaste, which does not work very well. This is

quite painful, with a sharp pain when it is touched by the bristle of the

toothbrush, or when eating something acidic, etc. It can almost feel like you

have a cracked tooth.

I noticed that the sensitivity went away some time after I had started to use

colloidal silver (CS). I finally correlated it to using CS with about 10% DMSO

held and swished in the mouth for about 5 minutes, which I did sometimes to kill

germs and get rid of plaque before a dental cleaning appointment. I attributed

it to the colloidal silver, with the DMSO being incidental, but necessary for

penetration of the CS.

Recently, I had been having a lot of sensitivity and started to swish with CS

and had not noticed much of an effect. Then I did a treatment with CS and about

10% DMSO. This did much better, but I still had an area of extreme sensitivity.

At that point, I wondered, what if it was the DMSO and not the CS that caused

the reduction in sensitivity? So, I just put some straight DMSO in the bottle

cap and used my finger to apply it 5 or 6 times to the tooth/gum/root area. I

left it there as long as I could without rinsing or swallowing, but that was not

a long time. Maybe a minute.

Immediately after that the area of extreme sensitivity was gone and has not

returned. I have eaten several very acidic apples, and so-on without any

sensitivity and without etching the roots.

The point being that it appears that it is the DMSO which has cured the

sensitivity problem, not the CS. This is really significant! You would be

amazed at the amount of pain certain people have to live with. Sure, DMSO isn't

very good tasting, but it is quick to do this way with direct application, and

one doesn't have to swish DMSO in the whole mouth either. Do it in the evening,

and the smell will have gone by morning so your co-workers won't hate you.

I hope some other people with sensitive teeth try this and report their results

back to the list.

And I want credit for this... ;-))
