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!

DMSO full strength can be safely used in the mouth. I am using it now for a tooth infection and have used it in the past several times with no issues. Because of the saliva in the mouth, dehydration of the skin is not a problem as it would be if full strength DMSO was used topically.

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====

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.

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.

I'd not worry about mercury at this point. Get clove essential oil for pain and hydrogen peroxide 3% for swishing in the mouth. Both are antibacterial. Get cultured (or regular organic) ghee and just put it in your mouth 1/4 tsp to moisturize it as your mouth will get dry. I prefer goat milk cultured ghee I buy from PureFormulas, but u can get it in a grocery store, they don't carry goat ghee though. GHEE is a form of clarified butter that provides an excellent source of saturated fats, rich in vitamins A, E and K.

It includes butyrate, also known as butyric acid, is a short-chain fatty acid that has been shown to improve gut health.

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.

Please don't use this or any other home remedies for abscess.

I had 2 abscess in my upper jaw because of broken dead teeth and tried garlic and Iodine. After 2nd night when I woke up my entire upper lips was swelled and all the infection was spread all over my gum. It was terrible. So I reached to a dentist and she put me on antibiotic medication and end up with extraction.

Greetings, I found your post from 2018 and someone else encouraging since I'm dealing with a severe tooth access and don't want to go thru the traditional root cannel. Even though you spell out some ratios, is the dmso full strength as one would purchase from the DMSO store? Many blessings with gratitude, David

Can you use this with mercury fillings in your mouth?

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?

Hi,

I am NOT able to have he mercury fillings removed. I am too ill. Mostly bedridden. Can I still use DMSO in the mouth on an infection, even tho I have mercury in my mouth? Can I also take 1 tsp DMSO orally? Or will DMSO make the mercury in my body worse?

Is there a company with safer DMSO for oral and ingestion? I use the vet DMSO topically, but it burns severely before removing the pain of inflamation. It works well for back pain. Except for the skin burning/irritation. I add aloe to my skin 1st before the DMSO. But the cheap brant of vet DMSO isn't ok orally. Is there a brand that is cleanest, for ingestion and gums?
