How To Naturally Strengthening Teeth and Gums

 

Comfrey root (Symphytum officinale radix)

Comfrey is a time-honoured treatment for a number of bone-related complaints (as shown by its popular designation "knitbone"). Used topically, it has anti-inflammatory properties and relieves swelling and pain. A widely distributed article even maintains that mouth rinses with comfrey root powder complemented by the regular intake of organic eggshells will make teeth regrow. Be that as it may, according to Wikipedia, scientific research has confirmed that "comfrey can influence the course of bone ailments". An easy way to incorporate finely ground comfrey root powder into your daily dental routine consists in mixing it into your self-made toothpowder (see Toothpaste Alternatives, which also includes a warning re comfrey's possible liver toxicity). For more on eggshells, see Foods rich in Minerals and trace elements.)

 

Alfalfa leaf, cinnamon bark, turmeric root, yellow dock root

described as good for bones and joints (and hence teeth) when ingested.

 

Wheatgrass juice

In his "Survival Into The 21st Century" classic, Viktoras Kulvinskas recommends wheatgrass juice for toothaches and healing, which is certainly worth trying if you have it available (wheatgrass can be easily home-grown).

 

Turmeric

An Ayurvedic tooth and gum formula prescribes mixing 1 teaspoon of turmeric with half a teaspoon of salt, adding mustard oil to obtain a paste-like consistency. Rub into teeth and gums twice a day.

 

Kombucha tea

Author Rosina Fasching writes in her book "Tea Fungus Kombucha: The Natural Remedy and its Significance in Cases of Cancer and Other Metabolic Diseases" that by regularly drinking kombucha tea one can keep one's teeth free from damage.
Since urine tests of individuals who had never drunk kombucha before have shown considerable traces of environmental toxins such a lead, mercury, benzene, cesium etc. after kombucha consumption (while the drink itself was free of these contaminants), kombucha may also be helpful for anyone suffering from heavy metal toxicity.

 

Hawthorn berry & bilberry fruit

described as collagen-stabilizers and gum tissue strengtheners.

 

Eucalyptus

The leaves of Eucalyptus globulus (from which the well-known therapeutic Eucalyptus oil is distilled) also contain a cariostatic (i.e. halting the development of tooth decay) compound named Eucalyptone (see www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7546549). Rinsing your mouth with a drop of eucalyptus oil in a glass of water will thus not only freshen your breath but also stop superficial caries bacteria from proliferating.

 

Black tea, green tea and oolong tea extract

"In addition to black and green tea, researchers have now discovered another brand of tea which protects against cavities. Oolong tea extract, a half-fermented tea from China, reduces the formation of plaque even in small doses and thus protects against tooth decay."¹

 

Chaparral

Washing your mouth daily with a rinse made from chaparral prevents dental caries.²

 

Alum, black pepper, rock salt, turmeric root

Mix five parts alum powder, three parts black pepper powder, two parts rock salt powder and one part turmeric root powder and use for massaging your gums.³

 

Rose petal, oak leaf, and carob powder

To be applied as a gum pack.⁴

 

Amla (Ayurvedic herb/fruit)

Said to rebuild oral health and support the connective tissue when used internally and thus helpful to the teeth and gums. Used as a mouthwash or ingested in capsule form (one to two grams daily).

 

Onion

Rubbing onion over teeth apparently cleans, whitens and strengthens them.

 

Seaweed

Seaweed deserves a special mention here for its important role in health and healing. See Seaweed.
The following recommendations are owed to Dennis Knicely, D.D.⁵

 

Chlorophyll powder

Brushing with chlorophyll powder can halt tooth decay and gum infection.

 

Strawberries

To strengthen teeth and gums and to help remove tartar (calculus), cut a strawberry in half and rub onto teeth and gums. Leave on for 45 minutes and rinse with warm water.⁶

 

Rye

Natural fluorine, from rye sprouts or flakes, increases enamel strength.

 

White Oak Bark

White Oak Bark will help set/tighten loose teeth and is the main ingredient in "Dr. Christopher's herbal tooth and gum powder". A beautiful testimonial tells of a woman whose teeth were loose due to pyorrhea and about to be pulled when "Spirit" led her to a lecture at the moment when the use of oak bark powder (applied between the gums and cheeks during the night to tighten the teeth) was being discussed. After applying this advice, within two weeks, her teeth had tightened and her gums had become firm.⁷

 

Horsetail

Strengthens the connective tissues, teeth and bones thanks to its silica content and likely due to biological transmutation. Reportedly heals gum sores.⁸

 

Herbal Calcium Formula

Mix equal parts of alfalfa, horsetail, Irish Moss, Lobelia, Oat Straw. A tea can be made or ground herbs put in capsules.
