Hydrogen Peroxide for Bleeding Gums
YEA I've been using Hyd peroxide for a mouth rinse after flossing. I've pretty much always had some bleeding after flossing, but just 1 week of using a tablespoon or two of peroxide, swishing after flossing, it has completely stopped.
Hard Palate
Posted by Paul (Newtown, Pa, usa) on 08/22/2012
Hi everyone, It's about 5 months since the hard palate in my mouth began irritating me. A sensitivity and soreness which, for the most part, has been present almost every day.
I have had all the necessary blood tests, seen a doctor and had a cancer screening by the dentist. I follow a good diet, maybe 1 cup of coffee a day and seldom consume alcohol, meat, sugar or wheat (gluten) products. I am fit, quite healthy and have been trying various mouth rinses, from essential oil blends to acv, coconut oil, sesame oil, olive oil, you name it. I have also been oil pulling for about 2 weeks now but this uncomfortable sensitivity and irritation continues.
If anyone can recommend anything that might help me to understand how to address this I would be most grateful.
Many thanks and thanks for a wonderful site!

Have you ever heard of "silent gerd"? You don't really feel the acid coming up, and I believe it usually happens when you are sleeping. It can cause a lot of damage. Perhaps look it up on line and see if the symptoms relate to what you are going through. Good luck to you.

Dear Lisa, Thank you once more for the videos... Each one has important information for our dental health and I daresay there may be more to come before Nadine Artemis' presentation is completed. I have learned so much and am truly grateful for the information and your kindness in sharing it. I am certainly putting what I have learned so far into practice! Blessings, Meg

Posted by Lisa (Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa) on 07/29/2012
Hi Meg, I'm so glad you've been enjoying and learning from the healthy teeth and gum videos I have been posting! More importantly, that you are actually applying them. I know I have learned so much from her. I have her book and read it as well and as I said before, loosely apply her method.
For me, realizing that teeth are living, dynamic parts of our body, not something we are helpless to change standing by watching them decay, has been so eye opening. There is so little we are taught in the main stream, about truly taking care of our teeth. I got rid of mainstream toothpaste first and then "healthy toothpaste" as well. Glycerin is in most toothpaste and it creates a slippery film over our teeth not allowing the natural flora of our mouth to heal them and continually re- enamelize them. Dr. Bronner's soap, sea salt, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide are such better choices for our mouth health. Also, have you incorporated a tongue scraper?
Anyway, I promise to keep posting these videos as I receive them. I'm so glad you've learned new information from them! Best to you, Lisa

Thanks Lisa! What a great website... I spent half of the afternoon there yesterday! Loved the teeth and gums information.
So many interesting videos on their site. I especially liked the (seven part) video of the Earthing experiment with David Wolfe. Am going to post on that in a minute.
Just wanted to say thanks, and tell everyone if they have not checked out this site, they should! :-)

Hi Lisa, Thank you for the next instalment on dental health... Very interesting tip re b. soda & ACV in dealing with plaque.
Also, thank you for the information re the zapper... I have decided to purchase one after looking up the website you posted and also comments by David Wolfe on the use of the zapper for gum infection problems. I don't see that I have anything to lose, and everything to gain.
Another interesting point from David Wolfe in another video excerpt on youtube was the connection between the meridian of the stomach/pancreas/spleen and the top molars both sides of the mouth.... Exactly where my problems are in both cases. Donna Eden explains the meridian flows and demonstrates them on youtube also. I am practising these flows too, especially the one for the pancreas/stomach/spleen. Thanks again, and 'always victory' for all of us trying to take responsibility for our own health issues.

Hi Meg, I can't tell you how happy I am to hear how the videos have helped you and that you also got some answers after listening to David Wolfe on zappers! That man is absolutely amazing. A genius actually, with a wealth of information on an encyclopedic amount of subjects. I have heard him speak many times as he is the person who conducts and orchestrates the Longevity Now conferences I attend. I have now been fortunate enough to have attended 5 of them and each one always has some new, cutting- edge information. He was the first person I ever heard on zappers and that was on youtube. Each time I go go a conference, he has gathered drs, scientists, herbalists and extremely knowledgeable people in their respective subject!
Like you, I have everything to gain the more knowledge I have to work with! And I love passing on to others what I have learned. It empowers each and every one of us and then we can make educated decisions regarding our personal health and life! The best to you always, Lisa

Hi Eva, I have a couple of suggestions. First, have you looked at oil pulling here on Earth Clinic? Many people have success with healing through oil pulling. It's a very simple process.
https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/oil_pulling.html
Also, in the past I have posted information from Nadine Artemis one of the leading voices in alternative mouth/ teeth health. Here is a link to audio interviews of her speaking on oral care:

Switch to oil pulling every day with coconut oil. Check out the OP section on EC for more info. Start out at 5 minutes and work your way up to 10 mins or more. I did this and it cleaned up bleeding, decay and recession in less than a week for me.
Oil Pulling

I expereinced severe Gingivitis in two areas of my Gums, I had a small amount of dental reconstruction done in the US it was very expensive, I moved to Turkey, in 05 and used Dr Tongs remedy for three years it works, But I was unable to find it, again, I found two Dentist in Turkey who did deep cleaning and replaced the broken bridges on the right side, But the stubborn gingivitis was not responding to the treatments the most rececnt dentist used. But a few months ago I was researching for home remedies for dental health and found this website and information about OP I started it from the Oil I strained from Sesame Butter, It showed instant positive results, clearing the white paste from the Tounge improving the healing of the infection under the gum line. Yes I have expereinced some of the healing side effects described by some of the People who use the Op. But it definitely is a solution to ridding the system of unwanted bacteria and Toxic deposits, Most medicallly trained professionals overlook and fail to treat or even aknowledge as the cause of many symptoms. that the Body uses to alert us that there is a underlining problem that must be addressed. I have heard it can take months to get the full benfits of OP, don't stop to you get it. Happy healthy attracts wealthy unfoldings. I hope this inspires and help those who read this.
Co Q10
Posted by Carly (Seattle, Wa - Usa) on 02/20/2012
Very interesting Debbie from Australia.... Thank you for sharing. I just started taking 100mg CoQ10 a few days ago for other reasons. I will be sure to see if my gums look any better / different and report back. They are not "bad' but there is one area that seems like it is not happy (located by a tooth that was filled to the gum line last year with a mercury filling - argh! )
Good information, much appreciated!
Carly
PS: Also re gums.... Lots of vitamin C is a huge help also. I usually take 2,000 mg a day, divided into two 1,000 mg doses. When I don't take it for a week or so, my gums bleed, and I bruise easier than usual.
Co Q10
Posted by Timh (Louisville, Ky, Usa) on 02/21/2012 2048 posts
And w/ the production and competition up, the price of CoQ10 has once again become somewhat affordable for the most of us. No doubt using CoQ10 on a regular basis for several yrs has helped me in the gum dept. Also CoQ10 is one of the best heart nutrients; as little as 30mg day can benefit heart health. As one ages this critical nutrient diminishes so it is very important to up the dosage to the tune of 100mg 2X day for the 50's plus members; and ubiquinone 50-100mg 2X day for the 70's plus members. Be sure to take Selenium and Vit-E w/ CoQ10 to insure its potency & lifespan in the body.

Itchy Gums
Posted by Obeybunny (Santa Ana, California, United States Of America) on 11/30/2011
Does anyone know any remedies for itchy gums? I'd rather treat the cause than simply apply pain relievers. This has been a periodic problem over the last… oh…. 15 years of my life. My gums will just become itchy for no reason for about a month before the problem just goes away on its own. But during that month, I'm scraping at my teeth and gums with anything- sticks, my fingernails, my shirt, toothbrushes dipped in baking soda, pieces of plastic I've taken from birthday gifts that I've cut into sharp triangles, anything- all day and causing a darker reddening (probably bruising) of my gums.
I've been able to tolerate a few hours of not scratching at my gums by putting ground cloves directly on my gums. This treats the itching but probably isn't fixing the cause.
As far as I know, I've never been diagnosed as having gingivitis, but that doesn't mean I don't have it.
So if anyone knows how to make the itching stop, I'd be so grateful.
Thank you Earth Clinic staff and members!
Itchy Gums

Hi Obeybunny, Try swishing your urine in your mouth at regular intervals. Urine helps for a lot of things. When I bite the inside of my mouth I use urine or try using salt but urine works quicker. Good luck.

Itchy Gums

I have itchy gums too. It comes and goes (for the last year) and I can't pinpoint the problem but I'm looking into dehydration (from coffee, too much sodium, fiber, etc). I am also considering carbs, allergies to foods, certain proteins, etc. One thing that calms them down is zinc. Take a zinc, preferably a type that doesn't make you nauseous and try drinking a lot of water. Your best bet is to keep a food journal and note the times when gums are itchy.
Herbs
Posted by Paramatman (Detroit, Michigan, U.s.a) on 10/16/2011
This is for the individual who wanted to know remedies to improve the condition of her gums. American Botanical Pharmacy sells "Daily Oral Therapy, " that reverses gum disease. It is not inexpensive but it is worth it. Their website is
www.herbdoc.com.
Their herbs are formualted by a Master Herbalist and N.D. who has 20 years of clinical experience reversing so called "incurable" diseases. Their herbs are organically grown or wildcrafted. They sell a superfoods formula which is excellent.
This N.D. recommends that one detoxifies by starting out with cleansing the colon first; then, you can go on to cleanse your kidneys/bladder, liver, etc. Must start out with colon always.
Hope this will help.

Posted by Bev (Fort Lauderdale, Usa) on 08/05/2011
First, I want to thank eveyone for all the great advice. Some I knew and some I didn't. This is a great resource.
What finally worked for me was a dilution of 35% food grade Hydrogen Peroxide. You probably have to get this stuff online and it isn't cheap but will last for years if you keep in it in the freezer where it remains liquid.
I used one part 35% to 5 or 6 parts distilled water. I then soaked a small wad of cotton batten with the mixture and tucked it between my front lip and tooth/gum. It was 10 times more effective than the 3% peroxide! I set the timer for 10 minutes but I was still spitting (more like a controlled drool) foamy saliva and left it in for about a 1/2 hour until the foam almost disappeared. 90% of the pain is gone and I feel better all round. Yes. You will foam at the mouth and scare small children, but the foam is actually dead bacteria mixed with your saliva. Keep a glass nearby to catch the foamy saliva.
I tried oil pulling with a couple of drops of Oregano Oil but I just don't like doing it very much although I felt a little improvement.
You should also take a good immune booster to help fight off the bad bacteria that is having a party in your body. Olive Leaf Extract, or up to 20 grams(20,000 mgs.) of Vitamin C. I had a product called Immutol lying around and I've been taking 2 capsules three or four times a day.
I also swished MMS which means Miracle Mineral Supplement. It's cheap and for about $20 you get two years worth of the stuff. It cures just about everything so naturally the Feds moved in and the originator, Jim Humble, moved his whole shebang to the Dominican Republic. Go to www.miraclemineral.org to learn more about this wonderful product that has already cured thousands of people.
I have a front tooth crown that had a root canal about 14 years ago. About 8 years ago it started to "act up" on occasion and I applied Oregano Oil and/or Tea Tree Oil and in a day or so the inflammation and mild pain would go away.
Three years ago I had to leave work because not only was my tooth and gum very painful but I felt horrible all over. I guess the infection invaded my entire body. I used an EFT protocol called Faster EFT originated by Robert Smith. (He has a zillion videos on YouTube) After an hour of frenzied tapping the pain disappered and I felt normal. Amazing.
Problem is Faster EFT didn't work for me last year -- or this. Drat! But, watch some of his videos -- it's free and easy to learn.
By the way, I do not sell anything and I have no financial interest in any products.

hi , im reporting back my feedback
Went to the dentist yesterday, I was oil pulling with coconut oil from 21st may, not good, gums were pinker, but gaps no change, plus another tooth was receding, I was also taking coenzyme q 10 30mg 3 x daily, also vitamin c and zinc lozenges. 600mg 1 a day. Brushing with aloe vera tooth paste, 2x daily, and chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash. Fed up. Went back to health shop, they told me to increase to 6 a day with the coenzyme q 10 30 mg. That seems alot to me, I will increase it to 4 a day, plus still to take vitamin c and zinc lozenges, take 2 a day, I walked out of the health shop with pure vitamin c powder it says 2500mg per serving. I'll just rub a small bit on my gums, plus I got vitamin e-400 I.U. To take internally, and to rub on my gums, thats only 1 a day. ill let u know my feedback, my dentist wants me back 2nd august, I really do not want to go, cause I know whats next to happen, I honestly hope what I am going to take will cure my problems, bye for now.x

Hi , I know this post is so very old and I am probably to late to make much of a difference if your gum disease has progressed. I got diagnosed with this horrid disease also and read up about it, Apparently I came across a dentist called Rami Nagel who cured his daughter's dental decay.
Well overall, I learned that a diet that is rich in grains that has not been prepared the correct way can lead to huge dental probs. Since I started eating more wholegrain stuff and became vegetarian that was the start of all my health issues. Apparenetly these grains are covered in physic acid natures way of protecting the grain and the body can utilise it, intact it binds to calcium and zinc and other minerals important for bone and removes it froth body as it passes through the system unassimilated. It has to be removed through sprouting soaking or souring. Google it up online, there are lots of sources.
Vit d also imperative and a good homemade remineralising toothpaste, flossing and I think mostly change diet, avoid sugar like plague. This is day 3 for me with no sugar, wow its hard, I did buy some xylitol for when I fancied a hot chocolate to take that craving for sweets away. Even too much fruit is bad, for teeth, that has decay or other issues. I hope even though it is years after your post, you or someone else finds this little bit of info helpful. Sorry I have not given lots of details.

hi ya, i ordered of the internet last night, food grade hydrogen peroxide h202 35% in a 250ml bottle. I dont think there is a dropper with it, ill have to go to local chemist for one. How do I use this as a Mouth Wash? Is it one drop in a large glass of water? Then swilling for a minute. please advise thank you.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Posted by Sunnyapril From Santa Fe (Santa Fe, Nm) on 12/07/2012
The correct way to mix 35% food grade HP is to mix 11 oz. of distilled water and 1 oz. of fghp in a jar with a lid and then you can transfer small amounts of it to a smaller bottle for use. You don't need a dropper for this. I actually pour a small amount of the watered down hp onto my toothbrush, and then brush. I add a little toothpaste on the top of it too. And I brush my tongue too. My mouth feels wonderful afterwards. WARNING: be very careful when pouring the food grade hp into the first bottle. If it gets on your fingers, it will burn, so if this happens, run cold water on the burns.

ah dear, I think I have only ordered the the wrong strenght, in hydrogen peroxide ive ordered 35% instead of 3%, I have emailed the company to see if it has been released, I did explain what it was for, to treat ginivitus, hope they can sort this out, wah a mess, my gums are really sore at the minute, im gonna leave oil pulling for a few days, when I look at my gums now, they do look pinkish, but my gums look like they are receeding more, one tooth at the front of my my mouth wasnt receding but it is now, my heads in bits.x

Posted by Jennifer (Sunrise, Fl) on 06/03/2011
Hi Diamond, Yes, only use the 3%. Hydrogen peroxide can be tough on your enamel. Never use it straight because it's too strong - I fill 1/4 of the glass with hydrogen peroxide and 3/4 with water, but you can experiment to find a level that works for you. As an added bonus it will whiten your teeth (and so will the oil pulling). You can skip the sea salt, to be honest I don't think it's the most effective part of the routine for me, but for some people it really helps. Stick with the routine for at least a month to see results. Good luck!
