Good Evening!

My husband and I both have tooth infections...and husband had a filling fall

out a few weeks ago. Being short on cash and weary of Drs/DDS...we are going to

try the Safflower Oil " Swish " .

Do we have to do it in ONE 20-minute stretch or can we do 4 5-minute swishes?

Thank you!

I'll try to find you the link, but I know one person who does it for

2 - 3 min. a day and sees results. I *think* the official version

is do it for as long as you can stand, making sure not to swallow

any, then spit it out and brush your teeth right away, rinsing

several times. They call it " Oil Pulling " and believe it pulls

toxins from your body.

What is the purpose? If you want an anti-infective, wouldn't coconut

oil be much better?

Here's the link, and it seems it doesn't work as well for cavities

as it does for gum disease and loose teeth. Also the original seems

to use cold-pressed sesame seed oil, which has many antibiotic,

healing, and healthful attributes. If you're going to try it, I'd

say go to an Asian market and look for sesame oil (not toasted).

My Home Remedy for the Natural Pain Relief of Toothache

Curing Tooth Decay Through Dietary Dental Regeneration

by Ulla, webmaster and designer of www.healingcancernaturally.com

My personal best toothache cure: how to get rid of a toothache,

even involving severe, intense or excruciating pain

Dissolve enough salt* in warm water (body temperature) to make a

strong solution and rinse your mouth repeatedly, vigourously

swishing the salty water around your mouth (if the pain allows) or

just allowing the brine to work in your mouth (it will make you

salivate). The dental pain, especially when extremely severe, may

instantly subside or perhaps take a while before it goes away, but

it will (it certainly has done so for me every time I have used it,

the longest it took for acute pain to stop was about two minutes. I

have also seen a few others reporting near-instantaneous dental pain

relief achieved in identical fashion). Repeat application of the

salt rinse - even over several days in case the pain reoccurs or

doesn't fully go away - may be required. One may also lodge some

salt crystals directly against the tooth or gum area that hurts.

I found this brine toothache treatment more effective than tea tree

oil (which for me is extremely useful for lesser pain and which I

may subsequently apply to keep my mouth and teeth " sterilized " ), as

well as more helpful than anything else I have tried such as

allopathical painkillers and the widely recommended old standard

kitchen toothache remedy clove extract (or pure food grade oil of

cloves, an over-the-counter remedy which proved useless in my case).

(Traditional over-the-counter medications & pain relievers such as

aspirin, acetaminophen [Tylenol], Ibuprofen [Motrin, Advil, Nuprin]

and hydrocodone [Vicodin] in fact should eventually worsen the pain

and/or further deteriorate the tooth's health due to their adding

even more toxins to the mouth and teeth, at least when these

medications are repeatedly applied.)

The salt water treatment also seems to work well on painful tooth or

rather gum abscesses (infected pus-filled teeth/gums) by gradually

draining off the pus. (Incidentally and obviously, if food particles

trapped between one's teeth are the root cause of one's toothache,

thoroughly sloshing the salt water around one's mouth in the above-

described manner should help dislodge the stuck particles. Otherwise

flossing or tooth picks may help.)

This was recommended to me by my friend who was a dental technician in

the Air Force, for gum health. I use a salt water rinse every time I

floss (which I try to do daily), which has cleared up gum bleeding. I

have had some fillings fall out, but no pain or other problem, so

until I can afford having the rest of the mercury fillings removed,

I'm just leaving them alone.

Oil actually makes an excellent cleanser. At least for sticky things. I

agree about the coconut oil though, if you're going to do it, might as well

be an anti-infective too.

That is so cool, I think we should all try it and report back on our

experiences. I briefly looked at the article and I don't think I saw

how much oil should be used. I " m wondering if olive oil can be

used. When I was in D.C at the conference last year, I met a

dentist that told me to exhale and make a noise so my teeth will

vibrate. I don't know why it's good, but it makes sense to me on

some level and I try and do it.

I just recently had a tooth infection and the sea salt worked great

at getting rid of the pain for me.

I tried the swish last night with coconut oil and I have to say I'm

impressed! I used as much as I would to mouthwash with anything else. It

was a little odd at first because as I swished it sounded like *squeaky,

squeaky* LOL! When the oil lost its texture, I figured I was done. Maybe 5

mins? Then I looked in the mirror - WOW. My teeth were SOOO clean, even my

gums were shining brightly. My SO was floored that I hadn't brushed my

teeth. I'd have to say, I think this will be a standard thing from now on

for me.

I want to thank you all so much for your help and advice!

Since we have VCO, I think that's what we'll use right now...and i will return

the Safflower Oil. (Silly me...)

Because we REALLY don't have money right now for a Dentist visit for either of

us, husband is excited about the prospects of the oil " swish " .

I have him on 4 capsules of Oregano Oil per day...and now I will add the

" swish " . I would LOVE to take the Oregano Oil...but pills are an issue for me,

and the last time I just " popped " the pill and took the oil, I threw it up! oh

well....

Thank you!

I assume that any oil could be used, but since coconut oil so clearly

has the advantage over all the others for its antimicrobial

properties, I would think it would be the best.

I used olive oil and I did the same thing, around 6 minutes. I set out

to do the twenty but it lost it's texture and just felt like saliva.

Plus, maybe I'm just soft, but twenty minutes of that doesn't seem

pleasant!

Do you melt the coconut oil before swishing? How much do you use?

Becky,

> Do you melt the coconut oil before swishing? How much do you use?

I use about half a teaspoon but don't measure it precisely. I

definitely do NOT melt it first. Although you might find the texture

immediately gross, it will blend in with your saliva in no time, and

the risk of heating the oil too much and burning your tongue, or the

pain of waiting for it to cool just the right amount would probably be

cumbersome.

The Truth About Cholesterol

Find Out What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You:

Hi. Thought to introduce myself and join in this topic as I'm newish

and have been lurking and learning for a few months. I've been

brushing with coconut oil for about a month now...came to it by

reading Gerard Judd's advice to avoid the glycerin in pretty much all

standard and natural toothpaste. Looked into Tooth Soap, and after

realizing that it was just saponified oils plus flavoring, went for

the CO. The taste is lovely and it cleans well and, used with a

toothbrush, it minimizes the abrasiveness of the bristles on the

gums. My only slight complaint is that after about a week, I notice

the coffee and tea stains starting to build up on my teeth, so I add

a bit of baking soda once a week.

I was spitting it out and then started to feel that it was wasteful

of perfectly good CO and my very own saliva. Having had it drilled

into me that the human mouth is a very dirty place, I have been

trying to rethink this. Dogs don't spit and have good teeth if

properly nourished. Why should the human mouth be an exception? If

I presume that the food and drink that goes in is healthy stuff, then

whatever plaque forms on the teeth is a by-product of my food and

digestion and is not necessarily a dangerous thing. If a sourdough

starter can form a healthy and viable life-form from catching natural

yeasts from the air, so too can the mouth. Therefore, I conclude

that if nothing poisonous is going in, there is nothing that I'd want

to remove from my system. So, when I brush, I have been swallowing

with absolutely no adverse effects. When I add the baking soda, I

spit it out and rinse, because it's just too salty for me.

I will certainly try the swishing as well and thanks for the

interesting discussion on a topic I've been exploring lately.

I have been warned about the glycerin by another Weston Price person I

know. Garden of Life makes a toothpaste alternative that doesn't use

it and is supposed to build up your teeth from the outside in

according to this person. I have been wanting to try it but it is

expensive. Here's a list of ingredients from the internet

-Coconut oil, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, thyme oil, sweet

marjoram oil, myrrh oil, clove oil.

I have to say since I have been drinking beet kvass, my teeth have

gotten 3 shades darker.

I have never used coco oil for teeth, but tea tree oil mixed with some

other herbs has done fantastic things for my teeth and gums.

Do you put the tea tree oil in something else like another oil? What

has it done for your teeth?
