to care for your teeth, starting with the foundations of a healthy diet and lifestyle is essential , your teeth are connected to every organ in your body as well as are affected by hormones and overall general health

1 - Good Nutrition

The strength of your teeth and gums starts with having the right diet, it is proven that indigenous tribes that eat a totally sugar free natural diet have strong healthy teeth with no cavities.

Also a Natural diet provides the right oral habitat for a healthy mouth microbiome. Natural live enzymes and “good” bacteria help prevent tartar build-up, if you have bad  breath, Yellow teeth or Sore bleeding gums you really need to rectify your diet and avoid the following foods:

• convenience / packet foods

• high sugar food, especially fruit juice which is heat treated and as high sugar as soft drinks!

• soft mushy processed foods such as breads, biscuits and other carb flour based foods

to sssist tooth health eat foods rich in natural complex fibres which help ‘naturally clean’ teeth when eating especially vegetables.

What herbs are good for healing gums?

gums are organic tissue and they have the ability to heal, here is a list of helpful herbs for gum healing

• YARROW promotes healing of sore gums and mouth sores, use as a rinse or in tincture form

• SAGE makes an excellent Mouthwash

• MYRRH Myrrh is antibacterial so it kills the harmful oral bacteria that comes from plaque build up.

• CALENDULA makes a great rinse and is very soothing and healing.

• ECHINACEA Helps your immune system

• PROPOLIS Propolis (bee glue) is execrlkrnt to put over areas where you have issues with teeth

• EUCALYPTUS OIL is very effective at healing gums

• ALOE VERA gel is very soothing and a great base for gels

• TURMERIC gel or oil is very effective anti inflammatory

• PEPPERMINT ESSENTIAL OIL is soothing and healing

  
  

2 - Remineralise your teeth with Bone Broth

Make bone broth several times a week. It’s chock-full of minerals that really help strengthen teeth and gums. You can use oxtail, chicken simmer for a few hours, some say 6 hours at least, or for the fastest bone broth fish bones are quickest at only 30 minutes cooking time. RECIPE use whole bone fish, add vegetables, simmer 30 mins, strain and drink. save veggies and fish for patties and frittata etc. you can freeze the stock in cubes to eat regularly

3 - Clean & remineralise teeth daily

Clean daily, brush gently, use a soft toothbrush brush carefully over gums, over-brushing teeth can cause gum recession

Use a good toothpaste.  I personally prefer to avoid fluoride (do your own research here). here are some of my favorite DIY toothpaste recipes, all strengthen teeth and help prevent gum disease

DIY COCONUT OIL & CALENDULA TOOTHPASTE

use plain MCT

• 1-3 Tbsp MCT oil

• 1 Tbsp (or less) baking soda

• calendula oil or tincture 1tsp

• optional 1 drop peppermint, tea tree. myrrh or neem oil

Coconut oil and Calendula are antibacterial, soothing and excellent for gums, brush with this as you would tooth paste

Calendula promotes healing of the skin, helps gingivitis and reduces dental plaque

DIY CALENDULA MOUTH WASH

dilute 1 part calendula tincture to 3 parts water and use as a mouth rinse, you can also use calendula tea or infusion as a mouthwash

calendula flowers

DIY REMINERALISING TOOTH PASTE

This remineralizing paste is easy to make. It helps strengthen teeth and help prevent or repair any cavities. eggshells made up of are 95% calcium carbonate, The remaining 5% features hundreds of different proteins. calcium carbonate is what dentists recommend to remineralise teeth

You’ll need

• calcium or bone powder, or 1/4 cup ground eggshells OR calc carb powder (1/4 cup) OR calc carb tissue salt pillules crushed (40 pillules)

• one drop of peppermint essential oil

• 1-3 Tbsp coconut oil or MCT oil

• 1 Tbsp (or less) baking soda

• optional calendula oil or tincture

How to make with egg shells:

• Rinse the eggshells and bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 200c (it will smell faintly like ‘burning hair!)

place eggshells on a baking tray and heat gently

• Finely grind the eggshells in a coffee grinder or by hand in a pestle mortar, make sure the powder is very fine

• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl

• Store in a small jar

apply the toothpaste daily to your teeth, use as regular toothpaste. note: be especially careful to not over brush with coconut oil, and be aware the eggshell powder will have a slightly gritty consistency and ‘may be abrasive’ so go very gentle! if the paste is too abrasive, you can use this as a paste to apply onto your teeth to remineralise. if the grittiness will be an issue you can substitute the eggshells and purchase super fine calc carb powder or crush calc carb tissue salts into the mixture instead

4 - Probiotics

Probiotics help create a healthy bacterial environment in your mouth boosting oral microbiome. One specific beneficial strain probiotic L.Reuteri has beneficial attributes for the mouth healthy bacteria building biome, having benefits to protect t teeth and gums. Building this good bacteria helps control bad bacteria that can cause gum disease, plaque and tartar on teeth. Researchers at Canada’s Laval University found that “… probiotics could be useful in preventing and treating oral infections, including dental caries, periodontal disease and halitosis.”

• take a daily probiotic supplement

• eat probiotic foods such as live yogurt, kefir, kombucha, saurkraut etc in your diet daily

• bathe your mouth in beneficial probiotic bacteria, you can use sauerkraut juice as a ‘bath’ and bathe your mouth with the liquid

  
  

5 - stay hydrated

drinking more water essential to good tooth care. f you are dehydrated your teeth will suffer as you will produce less saliva which helps digest food and remove plaque from the surface of the teeth when chewing

6 - Homeopathic Remedies To Remineralise & help Repair Teeth

HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY TO REPAIR TEETH

in natural dentistry these homeopathic remedies take the place of cavity fillings, the remineralise your teeth and also dogs / animal teeth too

7 - how can i heal my gums?

treating gum disease or mouth inflammation, sores or ulcers at home. Some of the suggestions that can work well are:

OZONATED OIL

is oil infused with ozone until it takes on a thick gel like consistency. Ozone Oil has powerful antibacterial properties and has been shown to promote healing and helps remove plaque and manage gum infections, and a great tooth infection home treatment.  sunflower ozonated oil is the strongest as it holds the most ozone, from least to most powerful: coconut oil is the weakest ozonated oil, followed by jojoba ozonated oil then olive ozonated oil

• apply on teeth and gums.

Ozonated oil Works by releasing oxygen to kill pathogens (anti bacterial and antifungal, virucidal) activating production of cells and promoting successful healing:

applying topical to assist with healing, skin inflammation irritation, sores, ulcers, bacterial fungal infection, eliminate pathogens or use as a neat toothpaste

OZONATED WATER

Buy an ozone maker and create your own ozonated water, use this as a mouth wash to rinse your mouth (ok to be ingested)

BEE PROPOLIS

Bee propolis is an amazing tincture to have at hand and is safe to use orally, it is highly antibacterial and healing, concentrated and sticky, like a resin. Bees use it to patch their hives.

use it to patch over areas of teeth that require protection . apply to inflammation or abscess, or use it to cover an exposed root or for swollen gum treatment too.

TIP: let the tooth dry before applying the tincture. This will help it to stay on much longer. bPurchase this with 10% discount from Indigo Herbs using my Practitioner code CARAINDIGO

Note: be warned that bee propolis can cause skin and tooth discolouration

COLLOIDAL SILVER

is exceptionally good natural antibiotic which you can use topically or internally, i use 10ppm either in dropper or spray bottle as well as internally to help fight infection

SALT WATER

You can’t beat a salt water rinse for inflammation, post surgery healing etc. rinse 2-3 times a day,

instructions: boil water and add a teaspoon of additive free sea salt or himalayan salt, note: Salt water can help to remove the plaque and bacteria from your teeth and gums, however, do not over rinse with salt as it can cause the salt to damage the enamel on your teeth.

ALOE VERA

is a wonderful topical soothing healer for the gums

OIL PULLING

What is the fastest way to heal inflamed or sore gums?

Here is my tried s and tested protocol for Immediate relief and holistic treatment to help heal sore or swollen gums

1. Rinse mouth with saltwater at least x2 daily to get rid of bacteria and help healing, hold salt water in mouth for at least 2-5minutes bathing area if you can

2. Hydrogen peroxide can be an effective oral disinfectant helping relieve infection: make a mixture of equal parts 50% hydrogen peroxide (3% strength) and 50% distilled water

3. Gently floss and brush teeth morning and evening, keep area clean, use a soft or extra soft bristle toothbrush and the ‘bass method’ of tooth brushing, you can use a water pick to remove gum plaque

4. practice oil pull with coconut oil at least once a day: put 1/2-1tsp of coconut oil in your mouth and pull/squeeze between you teeth for 10-20 minutes, remove excess oil (which contains toxins and bacteria)

5. natural remedy for tooth pain: Apply warm or cold compress to reduce gum pain. Hot compress: use a flannel and hot water, or hot water bottle wrapped in a towel (check temperature is suitable). For Cold compress use cold water or ice wrapped in a towel, apply for 5-10 minutes

6. clove oil is good for swollen gums and tooth pain: Use clove oil or whole cloves as a natural pain killer, apply whole crushed cloves at the site of pain in the mouth, holding clove paste over area, this will numb area and help heal, or apply a cotton ball soaked in black seed oil for at least 10 minutes over area, you can also use a garlic clove which is antibacterial

7. throughout day, drink plenty of water to stimulate saliva production.
