Gingivitis and Tooth Pain

Essential oils are a great way to strengthen your teeth and gums.

• Birch oil is known to stregthen teeth and bones and reduce pockets between gums and teeth and stop tooth sensitivty pain.
• Other pain/sensitiviy reduction oils are Corriander, Dill or Rosemary.
• To treat gingivitis use 1-2 drops of  Spice of life/ Classic Spice or a Spice Blend. 
• Myrrh is great for gum and mouth ulcers.
• Fennel oil is also a good oil to fight gum disease.
• Clove Bud helps with tooth pain. 
• Tea Tree help to clear mouth infections and can be used after mouth surgery like an antibiotic.
• Thyme also clean the mouth and gums.  Thyme oil can be added to water and be used to rise your mouth
• Oregano oil can be diliuted 1 drop oil to 1 Tbsp carrier oil. Oregano helps with pain and infection. Can be applied to tooth or gums or taken internally in a capsule or both at the same time.

.* Spice blends, Oregano, and Thyme oils are hot so use caution and dilute with coconut or a carrier oil. You can also dip your tooth brush into baking soda and then add a drop or two of your oils.

Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman, a dietitian expert, offers this advice in treating gum disease-
"Oil pulling, a time-honored Ayurvedic technique, works wonders for deep pockets in the gums that harbor bacteria and inflammation-causing plaque. A 2007 study in the Journal of Oral Health and Community Dentistry found that this simple method reduces gingivitis by 52 to 60 percent and cuts plaque by 18 to 30 percent!


Just put about two teaspoons of oil (sesame, coconut, sunflower) in your mouth and swish it around your teeth and gums. The oil picks up microbes much the way a powerful magnet attracts metal bits. The longer you push and pull the oil through your mouth, the more pathogens are pulled free, so be careful not to swallow any. If you need to spit it out, you may do so, but keep at least two teaspoons in your mouth for about 20 minutes. Then, spit out the oil.

You will see that the oil will be rather foamy—a sign that you have pulled out pathogens. You can rinse with a large glass of water with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and salt to remove any oily residue on your teeth. Then rinse a second time with another glass of plain water.

Oil pulling is a highly beneficial method of cleansing your mouth and detoxifying your entire body. Make this easy practice part of your daily oral care.

You can also improve gum health with CoQ10, which heals gum tissue faster than any other nutrient I know. Japanese research shows that taking 30-90 mg daily is extremely helpful with bleeding gums, deterioration of the gums, and loosening teeth. Your heart will thank you, too. I personally recommend a daily dose of 100 mg."
