When you are faced with a serious tooth problem, such as a cavity, chronic toothache, or need fillings replaced, you have some serious decisions to make if you are a health conscious person. While there are natural remedies to soothe toothaches or to help get rid of cavities, a trip to the dentist is sometimes necessary. If you have a serious problem with your teeth and need work done, try to seek out a dentist who practices under holistic dentistry or biological dentistry.
A holistic dentist typically tries to evaluate you as a whole and uses mercury-free substances for fillings. They also utilize digital X-rays and other technologies that aren’t as harmful to your body. If you are unable to find a dentist who practices holistic dentistry, then you are left with conventional dentists who will probably use harmful chemicals that will enter into your body, in order for you to have your teeth or tooth worked on. This is sometimes a better option than trying to suffer through the pain, which can be excruciating. If you are going to go to one of these dentists, you can take activated charcoal for the next couple days to draw out the chemicals. Another option is participating in the Full Body Cleanse to remove toxins and chemicals from your entire body.
Cavities
Cavities are caused by a combination of bacteria and food. Plaque is a clear substance that is always forming on your teeth and gums. The plaque on your teeth has bacteria, which feed on the sugars from the food you eat. The bacteria produce acids that attack your teeth for about 20 minutes after you eat, and this can cause tooth decay or cavities, especially if your oral hygiene isn’t good.
Clove Oil For Cavities
When you experience minor or even major toothache pain, you can rub essential oil of clove on the problem tooth or teeth until you can get yourself to a dentist. You may want to dilute a few drops of clove essential oil in a few drops of organic, virgin coconut oil, as the pure essential oil may be intense for sensitive gums or teeth.
Oil Pulling
Oil pulling, which is a popular Ayurvedic remedy, can help reduce the bacteria that causes cavities. You can use sesame oil or organic, virgin coconut oil. Place 1 tablespoon of the desired oil in your mouth and swish it around for about 15-20 minutes. You can do this every morning before brushing your teeth for about a month to help remedy cavities.
Post Dentist Visit Recovery
Cilantro helps to counteract mercury toxicity and chemicals in the body. If you still have mercury in your mouth, it may be beneficial to start drinking freshly made vegetable juice that contains cilantro. You can also add cilantro to salsa, guacamole, salad dressings, or other dishes to help remove mercury from your system. You can’t go wrong by consuming fresh cilantro.
