BillyBones, I am hoping you still have this article on your system. Id like to know how your teeth are doing today, 2 years later. I have a dentist that wants a tooth pulled and I am freaking out. The amoxicillin worked, and I am using hp swishes and everything is getting better, but afraid what is lurking at the root. Hope you get this to let me know how you're teeth are now doing. thanks

Update: 7 months later and the abscess has not returned! HP is WONDERFUL! Also a cavity of mine was giving me almost unbearable pain today, swooshed some 3% HP on the cavity and the pain is gone. So glad I found this website :)

I used hydrogen peroxide every hour for one day. Next day swelling and pain were gone. Antibiotics are in the trash can and I am cancelling my root canal appointment.
Also going to buy a bottle of colloidal silver and use it once a week to make sure no more infections occur.

HP gets rid of infection temporarily but will come back, you are playing with fire not taking the antibiotics. You will need the root canal. When it comes back if the puss gets in your blood can cause gangri and is life threatening. Please take your antibiotics and get the root canal.

Yes and please read the book the root canal coverup before getting one in your mouth. Wisdom before action.

I would like to add to my dental post here. Borax foot soak using a pinch in 2 gal of water once a week made my bad teeth hurt worse the next day, then they seem to be improved. Like it's healing them. I suspect lack of borax has made the calcium go in the soft tissues and not my bones/teeth over the years.
As far as dental pain goes.... I have rode the rodeo....been to the dentist and had the works done( 9 crowns, some root canals, & partials ) and then lost ten teeth while following that program.., due to the teeth worked on abscessing... all that money spent has taught me painful lessons about the system I had trusted. Flouride is bad for your bones and teeth and organs. Hitler used it to make people docile.
Alpha lipoic acid helps a lot for nerve pain. MIX a Tbsp each of baking soda & coconut oil with a drop of peppermint oil, at bedtime...APPLY a small amount of this mix on gums and teeth and head off for a good nights sleep. Works wonders .Get ALL your vitamins, amino acids and water, minerals in balance and detox your body . You can restore your youth . Keep studying and don't believe everything you read.
If you do use the borax get ready for a rodeo ride for awhile....still expecting miracles, because I have faith in the one who designed my teeth . Amen
read earth clinic, go to youtube, and lots of other good sites, as your own library . Just because it's at your local library you can't go blindly trusting it to be the truth that heals you.
google regenerate teeth, people have found ways for teeth to heal & regrow and some have received prayer miracles. God is good all the time, even if he shows up at the last minute. He's stretching my faith, as usual.

Within 3 or 4 minutes he was smiling... but it was short-lived. So I hauled him back out to the kitchen sink for a repeat... but this time he's doing it with just the peroxide, no water.
I'm gonna' call it 'better but not cured.'

Garlic works wonders for all things tooth pain related. I've noticed that many others here do as well.
Slice up a clove of raw garlic and have him put it on the gums surrounding the angry tooth or abscess. He can hold it in place with his tongue, or even his fingers, if necessary.
It will burn a bit at first, but don't let that deter him. Have him move the garlic slice from one side of the tooth to the other for about 10 minutes. Repeat this a few times a day. The more, the better, but at least 3-4x/day.
Through trial and error, I found that the garlic method works even quicker if you also take the garlic internally. If you give him a clove or two of chopped-up garlic to swallow about 3-4 times a day, it helps expedite the healing process.
Also, rinsing with warm salted water in between helps heal, too. Have him gently swish the saltwater around the affected area for about a minute, then repeat the saltwater rinses a few times day/night.
The last time I had a tooth issue, my tooth was so infected that my jaw and part of my face was swollen, and the pain...UGH! Yet, as bad as the infection was, using the methods I described above, I was pain-free within just days! The best part? That tooth hasn't bothered me since, and it's been about 2 years! :)
Good luck!

I couldn't agree more! In fact, just a week or so ago I wrote a post making almost the exact same recommendations that you did, except for the saltwater rinses, which I agree are a good idea as well.
All hail GARLIC! It has so many beneficial uses. It's something that everyone has access to, and costs pennies per 'treatment'. It's also great for stopping a cold in its tracks if you load-up on it the moment you feel like you're coming down with something.
Nothing is better than the real thing, though. The garlic capsules aren't as effective when treating colds, etc. I also read recently in a consumer report that three different brands of garlic capsules/pearls tested contained only 3% garlic! Plus, they cost a whole lot more.
Why pay $15-20 for a bottle of pearls to get only 3% of the benefits, when for a two bucks, you can get 2-3 entire *heads* of the real thing with 100% potency?

"IT'S ALL THAT SIMPLE "! I Should add "I did have a puss bag on my outer gums" so I sterilized a needle and lanced it a few times to empty it, adding pressure on my face to make it drain "then put some HP (APPROXIMATELY 1 OZ.) in my mouth and let it foam to kill the infected puss. "ALL MY PAIN WAS GONE IN 5 MINUTES "!! NOW JUST RINSE YR MOUTH AND HAVE A BETTER DAY......JACK

I love how you posted here to help someone else. I hope you reconsider having your teeth pulled . You can heal teeth no matter how bad they may be . I had a lot of teeth pulled and it has created new problems.

The antibiotics clearly were not working to get rid of the abscess, so earlier today I tried injecting 3% hydrogen peroxide (no stabilizer) at several locations in the gum (2-5ml) in and around the abscess. Warning - doing this will really hurt like hell when actually injecting the hydrogen peroxide, especially the first few injections when the hydrogen peroxide is actually killing the infection under the gum but it seems to have removed almost all the abscess infection - there is little or no soreness from it now - however the area is somewhat sore from all the syringe pokes as I type - I'll have a better idea tomorrow if the infection is completely cleared up when the gum heals some but it's feeling much better already.
I don't know if injecting hydrogen peroxide is 'safe' so I can't recommend it for others, but it definitely seems to have the potential to stop at least some abscesses.

I had similar results injecting HP in the abscess region. Yes the pain was intense. It took several tries but after more than a week the abscess is not active. Did it kill the infection deep in the tooth? No idea. But since there is no puss being produced, it just may have done that. Did it feel risky? Yes. I would not have done it if the antibiotics had seemed to be working.
As to the safety: I seriously doubt it could trigger an infection as it clears bacteria in its path. I wish I had tried this earlier with a tooth that eventually rotted, broke and was finally pulled.

Soon after posting the above comment, my abscess re-erupted. The pressure started to build in the maxilla, so I injected it again. Once again I had intense pain locally for about 30 seconds. The HP injection pulled out a load of blood and pus. The abscess itself did not go down right away but now more than 24 hours later there is a small crater where the abscess was. What I would hope is that the "tissue hardening" effect of the HP would generate a pathway to the deep infection and eventually clear it using this technique. Probably wishful thinking, but there seems to be the promise of at least staving off more radical approaches for awhile.

More than one week after, no indication of infection I am happy to report. I will report in another month if I remain clear. I still face longer term dental work but at least I seem to have the infection in a managed state. Whether something lingers and again erupts, time will tell.

Its been a month and I have had no further need for injections. The abscess is gone although a slight depression remains where it was. I still sometimes feel a slight pressure in the region (swimming under water for instance) but no signs of infection. How my body is handling the cavities is anybody's guess, but for the time being I am managing and I feel more dentally empowered.

I wanted make one last follow up. My report of 09/12/2016 was a little pre-mature. I had to go in again with the H2O2 injection. I used a different angle, forced the remaining infective core out and have had no problems since then. Just mustering up the courage to do the initial injection was the hardest part. Subsequent follow-ups were uncomfortable but not scary. Follow through made the difference. My infected gum and bone is completely free of infection. The first sign of eruption took place following dental work more than 20 years earlier. Why didn't I know I could manage it this way back then? It would have seemed too radical a move for me, but watching and waiting did nothing other than probably shorten my life. Oh well. Its not a problem anymore.

Dear Dianna,
I have used 1% hp to rinse my mouth and teeth. Yes, it did start to whiten my teeth a little but I noticed that it left a film on my teeth, just like the film I experience when I drink lemon juice which of course is very acidic. I stopped rinsing with it and my teeth feel clean once again, even though I do still gargle with it. I became concerned when a post I read said that hp can be very harmful to your teeth.

I could be completely wrong but often, if you get to the point of an abscess then the mouth in general is not doing very well, and the gums in general might be receding already, which leaves part of your teeth exposed and makes you sensitive to hot and cold stuff. I have sensitivity on some of my teeth and it is slowly reducing as I keep using HP.
Might not be the whole story but it might help you a bit?!?

My story (I'll try to be brief)... got a piece of food stuck in the gum behind one of my front teeth. No matter what I did -- floss, oil pull, swish peroxide -- it didn't come out. I then went to a new dentist last week to have my teeth cleaned and the stuck particle removed. Lucky me -- the hygenist was just filling in for the day and during the teeth cleaning part, said she saw something dislodge but then "lost sight of it". Okay, fine, I thought. That night I awoke in the middle of the night with terrible bad breath. It was so bad it actually woke me up. Yes, I do have sensitive smell!! When I looked at the right front tooth the next day, I noticed that the gum was severely swollen, from the tooth to the roof of the mouth. The bad breath also persisted. I started my holistic regime of oil pulling, then later swishing with hydrogen peroxide. The oil pulling, like Subashini said, made my breath worse. YUCK! I tried swishing with sea salt. No luck. Finally I had the idea a couple of days ago to soak a cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide and then hold it (tightly) to the swollen gum for 10 minutes. I also pinched another h202 soaked cotton ball to the back side of the tooth where the piece of food had initially lodged. Interestingly, it didn't hurt, but certain areas of the gum turned white. 10 minutes later the white had disappeared. Glad to say that my bad breath smell immediately disappeared and has not returned. My gum is looking a little better. A couple more days of this (soaked h202 2x a day) and I think I will be back to 100%. I highly suggest this technique if you have a tooth abcess or swollen gums from an infection. It is the best way for hydrogen to penetrate, otherwise it just turns to foam if you swish it around in your mouth.
So Subashini, I think your issue may be an infection somewhere in your gums that the oil pulling is bringing to the surface. Infection smells like dental plaque -- quite disgusting. My suggestion is to pull up your top lip (then pull down the bottom lip) in the mirror in daylight and look for redness in your gums. If you can pinpoint an area, then soak it with hydrogen peroxide cotton ball 2x a day for a day or two. I would predict that your issue of bad breath will immediately go away, even after you oil pull.
Oh, one more thing. You will need to bend over a sink whilst holding the cotton ball to your gums and let your saliva run out. You may need to do round 2 during the same session. Most importantly, you don't want to swallow anything! Rinse well afterwards. Hope this helps someone, somewhere. All My Best,

While in college I smoked (I know, very gross), but was also vain enough to keep my teeth white - LOL. I tried all the over-the-counter stuff and my dentist advised me that none of it works (this was before the whitening strip craze) because anything that's going to whiten your teeth must be on your teeth for a minimum of three minutes for any effect to take place. I discovered Hydrogen Peroxide then and have been using it for 20-years now. If you look on the label, it will tell you it can be used as a gargle or rinse when diluted. I began diluting it and brushing with baking soda by dipping a wet tooth brush into the powder then brushing my teeth - great mix. It tastes kind of nasty at first, but goes away in a few days. In my later years, I now just take a swig of Peroxide before getting into the shower and rinse it around my mouth for 3-5 minutes. It's awesome. People constantly ask me how I keep my teeth so white and I fall asleep in the dentist's chair while my teeth are getting cleaned. I'm excited to try the oil pulling next. I LOVE THIS SITE!!!

I like all the advice here, but what disturbs me is it is rare that anyone states exactly what they did. "oh, i used hydo perox" well, did you use it full strength on a cotton ball in your mouth or was it mixed 50/50 w/water? what strength hydro-perox? and the same thing with all the other touted remedies on here, it is very rare that anyone cites specifics details; it's just "i used this and this and this-and my symptoms disappeared".
i see "exact ingredients and measurements" is requested above this box, but no doubt, few read that sentence or want to bother writing out details(too much trouble).

The hydrogen peroxide should be diluted. Straight, it is too harsh on oral mucosa.

Nancy, Thank you so much for this post! I had successfully used the garlic clove and/or tea bag for a tooth abscess. After painfully flossing and trying those remedies again when I could feel another flare up, I started having pain so bad my entire jaw felt bruised. I searched this site for what else I might be able to do. I had also taken some old antibiotics and Advil.
I mixed a cap full of peroxide with a cap full of water and swished for two minutes, holding my head to one side so the mixture could "bathe" the tooth. I felt something floating around in the solution and noticed a tiny piece of tea leaf that must have gotten caught under a crown next to the tooth I suspected. I felt some relief so I did it two more times and found small "slivers" of garlic.
As I type this my pain is finally gone and I wanted you to know I am so grateful for your post.
PS: I may have spoken too soon...the jaw pain is gone but I am still having some discomfort from the abscess.

Another consideration for teeth / jaw issues is NECK! I learned this the wrong way after having a neck injury followed by much dental work 'seeking the cause'. Circulation and issues with the neck can affect jaws, also sinus, headaches and ears. Dentists and even chiropractors may not associate these issues, but I've learned from experience.
The first years, the dentist tried to find the cause by pulling a few teeth, doing root canals, etc. (wish I'd known then what I know now). The dental chair itself pressured the neck injury and compounded it. Then I 'kinked my neck' hanging a curtain, which resulted in rapid sinus swelling; I went to my chiropractor, and within hours the swelling was down. (Aha! I was learning 'everything in the head flows through the neck'! )
I just did it again - stressed my neck, ignored it and now have same-side lower jaw swollen for three days. I forgot the second issue - CIRCULATION. The best way I've found to improve this is to minimize solid food and do an infection-fighting, circulation-upping tea / liquid fast. Ginger, nettle, raspberry, turmeric, cranberry and similar (google Fire Cider) beverages.
I've learned these are not separate areas from teeth and jaw, they are part of 'the whole head'. If you're constantly suffering, please consider these:
CHIROPRACTIC / NECK - CIRCULATION
Hope that helps someone so they don't go through brutal dental work unnecessarily.

Thanks Elaine, I just found your post because I didn't select "watch" here. I have had multiple head/neck injuries over the years from horses, automobile accidents, missteps on stairways or curbs in addition to ramming my head into the steel door frame of vehicles on three separate occasions. I am short and a final incident resulted in neck, to the middle of my back pain and severe nausea. An MRI revealed one of the vertebra in my neck is pressing on my spinal cord.
Years ago I had gone to a chiropractor just for sciatica but left the office in more neck pain and severe headache. I later found out the sciatica was caused by what I had been eating. Hidden sources of MSG compounded by GMO's are contributing to more ailments than is recognized and, with all due respect, physicians are being misdirected. It's frightening for me to think of what that "doctor" could have caused if I had continued to see him. He also made a fraudulent claim to Medicare.
The x-ray on two teeth revealed abscesses. After using the garlic cloves, an x-ray confirmed one abscess was no longer visible and the other was actually reduced in size.
I also use turmeric and ginger on everything in addition to making tea with either/or. They are great for treating any inflammation anywhere!!
