I loved your story about your gums and teeth, thank you for sharing.

I have been using Neem for about 6 or 7 years every day and my dentist always comments that I have no plaque build up and asks what I use.

What a timely newsletter! I have the same problem--my dentist has been after me for a years to see a periodontist, especially since my last visit to him two weeks ago. I have been "stressing" over the $200.00 FIRST VISIT fee!
 
I also have always taken care of my teeth and was wondering how the gum disease came about.
 
I will try the H2O2 gargle and meditation to see what my angels and guides come up with.

Today I went for my 6 month cleaning - and  they want me to come back to do a "deep" cleaning -- it's my gums!

I showed the newsletter info to the dental assistant - and they brought out their own.  I'd rather try your tip.

Thank you so much for this last newsletter, I was excited about your healing, using peroxide. 

I have periodontal disease, and am in the dentist chair four times per year for deeper cleaning, and every 3-4 years for a more thorough scraping. 
 
After reading this gift of an article, I am committed to begin immediately. 
 
I am working with the diluted formula of peroxide, sea salt rinse, neem toothpaste and have made my own neem mouthwash with neem, clove and peppermint essential oils.  The cost factor has me experimenting with what I have on my own shelves.  Staying with a twice daily regiment, and am so grateful to have this focus.  It feels right.
 
Thank you again for your loving connections with us,

This is just the information I needed to hear!

I had an emergency trip to the Dentist six months ago, and am three months into my four month cleaning schedule, when six bottom front teeth suddenly started hurting and wiggling. 

My gums have receded enormously in a very short time.  I also brush, floss AND do the gums with a tooth pick the way the dental hygienist had nagged me into doing.

So you can imagine how unnerving it was to receive the news that I was going to need "transplants" to replace those teeth. 

Because it was too expensive, the dentist decided to do a  "stint" procedure instead.  

He heated up some bad, I mean toxic level of bad, smelling yucky plastic sort of stuff, put it into an applicator and proceeded to put a thick layer of the stuff across the back of the loose teeth ... gluing them together. 

He then worked this stuff into the spaces between the teeth and up to the top of them.  It felt really terrible having this stuff taking up the space where my tongue had rested behind the teeth,  and it seemed I was allergic to it as well, as it made the taste buds on my tongue swell up and be extremely sore to boot. 

Plaque forms readily on the plastic ridge and interferes even more with my tongue.  It feels like the shape of my jaw, on the bottom of my mouth, now has bony growths protruding into the space where my tongue needs to be in.  
 
But the gums seem to still be receding more ... no one gave me any numbers, but there is lots of space between the gums and the enamel covered part of my teeth.
 
Thank you so much for your information.

I read a teeth "folk remedy" awhile ago, but in January I was having a lot of pain from a capped wisdom tooth, and a fair amount of gum bleeding.  

I had an upcoming dental appointment,and considered asking the dentist to pull the tooth, but I decided to try this method first.  

For three weeks, when I got up in the morning, I took about a tablespoon of sunflower oil into my mouth and swished it around, sucking and pulling it between my teeth, as described in the article.  

Since I usually get on the computer in the morning to check my e-mail etc., the 15-20 minutes it takes goes by quickly, as I am doing other things.  

Then, I spit out the oil (into the toilet), which has become thin and foamy because it has mixed with saliva, rinse with warm water and thoroughly brush my teeth.  That is it!

My dentist visit, three weeks later, my tooth pain was 90-95% gone, my gums had stopped bleeding, and both the hygienist and my dentist were amazed at how healthy my gums were.  

They double checked my records, which confirmed that for a couple of years my gums were receding and bleeding, and they had noted the problems.

My dentist was so impressed that he asked me to forward information about this technique.  It is Ayervedic medicine, which is the traditional medicine of India.  

I continue to do this most mornings, it is so refreshing.

Thank you for all that you do for so many, and for spreading the natural health wisdom that has been lost to us
