OT Teeth and gum cleaning

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I do a routine of flossing every night and I brush twice a day. I

brush with a Sonicare electric toothbrush sometimes with toothpaste

other times with a baking soda/sea salt mix I make and sometimes I

don't put anything on the brush.

My gums hurt me a lot. The pain from flossing has not subsided. I go

to a Green dentist here in NYC (coincidentally he has Crohn's and is a

big supporter of diet and the idea of microbes/yeast- gave him a copy

of BTVC dunno if he read it.. Eliminating Gluten, Sugar and dairy was

key for him. Why some people respond to that alone still astounds me

as many moons ago when I first got ill I eliminated everything and

kept potatoes in and it wasn't enough obviously..)

Besides the rant.. Does anyone also experience this kind of long term

pain in their gums? Have you found anything natural to do for this?

Thank,

Jodi,

You might give Vita-Myr a try. It is a toothpaste, from the Ayurvedac healing method. It works very well for gum issues. I know it contains zinc, and the herbs clove and myrrh. I just noticed it does contain carragaanan, but you wouldn't be swollowing it. I know you are very sensitive, but I have many good firsthand accounts of this doing wonders from my customers, and really helped my son-in-law who had gum disease related to a very early heart attack.

Good Luck,
