The combination of DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide), nascent iodine, and garlic offers a powerful natural remedy for treating tooth abscesses, especially those stemming from underlying jaw bone infections. This treatment not only addresses the surface symptoms but also targets deeper, more persistent infections, preventing reoccurrences. Below, we explore how these three elements work together to provide a comprehensive healing solution.

Benefits of DMSO for a Tooth Abscess

  • Enhanced Absorption: DMSO is known for its ability to penetrate deeply into tissues, carrying other substances like nascent iodine with it. This ensures that the treatment reaches the root of the infection, including the jaw bone.
  • Pain Relief: DMSO has natural analgesic properties that can help reduce the pain associated with a tooth abscess.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Effects: DMSO also has anti-inflammatory properties, which reduce swelling and promote healing in the affected area.

Benefits of Nascent Iodine for a Tooth Abscess

  • Antibacterial Properties: Nascent iodine is one of the strongest natural antibiotics, making it highly effective in killing the bacteria responsible for the infection.
  • Tissue Healing: Iodine has been historically used in dentistry to help rebuild tissue, making it valuable in healing abscessed areas.
  • Prevents Reoccurrence: By addressing underlying infections, particularly in the jaw bone, nascent iodine helps prevent the abscess from returning.

Benefits of Garlic for a Tooth Abscess

  • Potent Antibacterial Action: Garlic contains allicin, a compound with powerful antibacterial effects that can help eliminate the infection causing the abscess.
  • Systemic Support: When taken internally, garlic helps cleanse the blood and boost the immune system, supporting the body’s overall ability to fight infections.

How to Use DMSO, Nascent Iodine, and Garlic for a Tooth Abscess

Here’s how to use this powerful combination to treat a tooth abscess:

  1. DMSO and Nascent Iodine Rinse:
    • Mix a solution with 7 parts DMSO, 1 part distilled water, and 2 parts nascent iodine.
    • Clean your mouth first with a saltwater or hydrogen peroxide rinse.
    • Swish the DMSO and iodine mixture in your mouth for 10 minutes. Swallowing the solution is optional but should only be done if you do not have thyroid issues.
    • Wait an additional 10 minutes without eating or drinking anything to allow the mixture to penetrate deep into the gums and bone.
    • Rinse your mouth with salt water or hydrogen peroxide for 5 minutes to close the mouth’s super absorbent state.
    • Avoid eating or drinking anything except water for at least 1 hour after treatment.
  2. Internal Use of Garlic and Nascent Iodine:
    • Take 6 drops of nascent iodine and 6 cloves of garlic daily. These should be taken separately to maximize their effectiveness.
    • This regimen helps kill any lingering infection in the blood and supports the immune system.

Precautions When Using DMSO, Nascent Iodine, and Garlic

While this combination is powerful, it's important to use it with care:

  • Ensure that the DMSO used is pharmaceutical grade and properly diluted to avoid skin irritation or other adverse effects.
  • Test the mouth's sensitivity with a few drops of the solution before full use.
  • Do not use this treatment if you are on thyroid medication or have thyroid conditions without consulting a healthcare provider.
  • This remedy should be used as a complementary treatment. A tooth abscess requires professional dental care to fully address the underlying infection and prevent complications.

Final Thoughts

Combining DMSO, nascent iodine, and garlic offers a comprehensive natural approach to managing tooth abscesses, particularly those that have become chronic or involve underlying bone infections. By targeting the infection at its source, this treatment not only provides relief but also helps prevent future occurrences. However, while these natural treatments can be effective, professional dental care is essential for fully treating a tooth abscess and ensuring complete recovery.

If a tooth infection returns, this will get to the root cause. Iodine has been used throughout history in denistry because of its ability to help rebuild tissue, while acting as one of the worlds strongest natural antibiotics. The combination of iodine and garlic internally will also kill any infection that might be lingering in the blood. I had a very serious bone, root and possible blood infection, as a result of reoccurring root infection and abscess. This was stemming from an underlying jaw bone infection. I have tried all of the other cures on here, and garlic especially does work. In my case however it would always return, maybe even months later. It was not until I dealt with the underlying bone infection, (and dmso is the only way I know how to do this), that I have been infection free for years now.

DMSO and Nacent Iodine Rinse, plus 6 drops of Nacent Iodine and 6 cloves of garlic internally daily.

(Iodine and garlic to be taken separately) (Not for people on thyroid medication)

This will not only cure ANY abscess, but will also cure any underlying jaw bone infection that may be present, to prevent infection re-occurrences.

(Test mouth sensitivity first with a couple drops)

7 parts dmso1 part distilled water2 parts nacent iodine

1. Make sure mouth is clean(salt water or hydrogen peroxide rinse first)

2. Swish iodine dmso solution for 10 min, better swallowed after rinse, again thyroid must be healthy. (this will also ease the pain)

3. Wait 10 more minutes without eating or introducing anything into the mouth, and better not to rinse immediately this will give it more time to reach deep into the gums and even bone.(the dmso, will take anything with it into the blood so keep this in mind) including smoking, drinking or food.

4. After waiting 10 mins, follow with a 5 min salt water or hydrogen peroxide rinse, to close the mouths super absorbent state.

5. Do not eat anything, or drink anything except water, for at least 1 hour following this.

This can be done several time a day, but watch your iodine consumption if swallowing the rinse everytime.

Always better to see the dentist first but for those of us that can't, THIS WORKS!

Can you use this with mercury fillings in your mouth?

John - Sorry, I'm unclear on the ratios. 7 parts DMSO, 1 part distilled water, 2 parts Nascent iodine. Does "part" mean drops? If so, it seems like 10 drops would be difficult to swish around in the mouth. Am I missing something, or does it mean like tablespoons? Sorry for such a basic question, I just don't get it, but I do have the bone infection and want to try this. If John or anyone knows, please explain. Thank you in advance. Cheers.

Whatever the amount of liquid you want to have decides what the parts are going to be. It is up to you.

In this case where you want to be able to swoosh the liquid in your mouth several times a day I would make myself about 1 cup. But bc it is easier to deal with even measurements I would do 10 oz instead of just 8 oz.

Bc you need altogether 10 parts this makes it easy now, you see? You will need 7 oz of DMSO, 1 oz of distilled water and 2 oz of NASCENT IODINE.

I hope this helps. God bless.

Sorry, more basics. How many days did you do this, and did you have to repeat it? I really want to try it, but without advice. I'll probably do it for four days. Also, how does anyone deal with the garlic breath? Thank you.

DMSO & Mercury??

I had been trying colloidal silver (550ppm, small particle size) with DMSO. For a rear lower molar. No swelling but the pain can get intense overnight. A 3D CT scan didn't show an absolute cause, though it was a cracked tooth which had just been crowned with a zirconia crown a few months ago. The dentist said there did appear to be an amount of an abscess (or at least some kind of pocket of pressure pushing up on that tooth). I did take the round of antibiotics, but it didn't seem to help.

Sometimes it starts feeling well enough at night to where I think it is improving, but then it gets worse again. Have also been taking a mushroom compilation tincture (reishi, maitake, turkey tail, cordyceps, etc) and will drop that by the tooth along with the DMSO and silver too.

But like the last person who asked the question, I was also concerned about the last few mercury fillings in my upper teeth. So I don't swish around but only put drops with a dropper directly next to the tooth, and hold it there as long as I can.

Does anyone know if the DMSO will draw some of the amalgam filling metals into the blood stream as well? I am careful, but I don't think it's possible to completely keep the DMSO from contacting everything else. So might I essentially be creating another potential problem instead of healing the one that's there?

DMSO is sulfur. Which helps detoxify. I would think that if it can dissolve the zirconia it can also help the body eliminate it. I would not be anxious about it. You might eat garlic to facilitate the detox.

Mercury, too.

ANON, ORH here, DMSO is one of the most powerful solvents there is. It also just happens to have sulfur in the compound. So it is sulfur..... means what? As a Ch E, I don't understand. Normally DMSO is used to carry another compound to the problem. We use it daily to carry liniment to an ailing muscle. If the topic you are addressing is an infected tooth, then Bill solved that problem with turpentine. It worked for me and many of my friends. Anon, you are right...... DMSO is a solvent that all should use. Just understand it's limitations. ====ORH====
