Hi, all.

It's always great to post a positive result on this forum especially when Dr. D recommended it!

Today I went for a cleaning with my dental hygienist, Anne, and I was a little nervous because its been 6 months and I'm on a 3- month- appointment -basis.

Plus my insurance just changed and  the new insurance provider hasn't sent out the cards yet.

The numbing gel she uses works very quickly and it took me a few times to adjust to the numb feeling in my throat.  This is where deep breathing comes in handy and I made use of it.

When she was almost finished she said she was extremely pleased as to how I was taking care of my gums.  Only one tooth in the upper back had a little bleeding but otherwise nothing.

I have been more focused on taking care of my gums but I feel that one element helped me the most and that was something someone posted (sorry I don't remember who) about how Dr. D'Adamo recommended myrrh oil to help keep gums healthy.

That rang a bell because I had gotten some after reading the description of myrrh at http://www.AnanadaApothecary.com (therapeutic grade essential oils) and so after brushing each evening I used a Q tip either dipped in water or a carrier oil and dropped a few drops of myrrh on the Q tip and rubbed it on all my gums.

That's great: i'm 2 months overdue myself and like a good nonnie (and with shorter tooth roots to begin with) usually have root planing  because of past perio issues. Does the myrrh apply to all types?

Way to go, Joy!!!  

Seraffa,

I had periodontal issues in the past also that's another reason why when I read the statement the person posted about how Dr. D recommended myrrh my ears "stood at attention" .  

I wish I could tell you whether its ok for all bloodtypes but I just don't know.  I checked the food typebase under spices and also the book I bought years ago but I couldn't find the information.

Anything one puts in the mouth, even though it is not swallowed, is still absorbed into the bloodstream.

Maybe someone would be so kind as to provide a reference on this.

I just had my six month check today, too, and got a very good report! No gum problems, no "we will watch this one" stuff, nothing but all smiles all around! My mouth feels so good!!

Myrrh. Internally and topically.

hope this forum search will help you decide

Lola,

Thank you so much for this helpful reference for using myrrh .

I'm sure that anyone will now be better equipped to make a decision as to the best methods to increase dental healthcare.

Joy

It was I who posted it..   can you see my pearlies??

I used the powder form.. but might convert to oil..

Might the oil used in the nose be good for sinus infections??  

Goldie,

Then I have you to " thank" for putting that "pearl of wisdom from the good Dr. D.)  into my brain waves.

Don't know about the myrrh oil in nasals for sinus infection ,but its worth a try.

Let us know if it works.

Joy

I may try this.   I have perio issues.

Jayneeo,

I truly hope it works as well for you as it did for me.  It works on the gums better than any mouthwash I've ever used.

Good luck.

Joy

We have a distinct shortage of holistic dentists in this country.

I have stopped going to my normal dentist for a few years now and since reading the book on curing tooth decay (recommended by someone on here) my teeth have improved a lot, I no longer get tooth ache, pain or anything really.

Dr D's vitamin D, Dr D's fish oils, bone broth seems to be a key and ghee.

Weston A price's research is very appealing just needs a Blood type Update working on that lol

There seems to be a shortage of holistic dentists everywhere.  I don't know where I would find one around here.

Isn't it great that through reading Dr. D's books and following his advise we can help ourselves.

Great to hear your doing better.

Joy

I don't go to the dentist often, don't like to, but last time I went he said my teeth and gums are fine.

Goldie- I'd think that gargling with myrrh would get some of the herb into your sinuses, since the mouth and nose are so close together.

Ruthiegirl,   I might also try gargling in addition to swabbing it on my gums.  Might help my sinuses also.  Allergy season here has been too much this year.


Sahara , Glad you have more less thing to deal with concerning health issues.
