and with those soft ass bristles, remember, massage them gums! you have to get your blood flowin' to stimulate gum growth. it also helps,not medically, but for your sake, to stay away from highly acidic foods and sharp foods (chips n shit) for the first week or two while you're doing this. getting a chip stuck in your gums or having them all cut up sucks when you're tryig to fix them. i wasn't able to eat an apple without cutting it up for a couple of years cause it would pull on my gums and make 'em bleed.

owie. for the first time in my life i'm having mouth problems and its this shit. my gums are all swollen in one spot. arg.
this simple formula works with most cases
1oz oregon grape rt.(golden seal work better if you can get it)
1oz myrrh gum
1 pint water
decoct-simmer never boil-for one hour
bottle and gargle and spit every half hour till FOUR DAYS AFTER APPARENT INFECTION HAS PASSED. as with most infections if you don't kill it completely it can come back with a vengeance and some resistance to whatever you fought it with.
also be sure to floss daily as that's where half your bacteria live.(thats the kicker)
chewing on oregon grape rt works as well but be sure to keep chewing it throughout the days all day till some time after apparent infection has gone.
and as always with most natural healing
drink plenty of water
eat an alkaline diet
and avoid alcohol, processed sugars, deep fried and white flower products and anything on the box you can't pronounce.
be well green.

this is the remedy I usually give to people or closest thing to depending on what I have available.
fallowed diligently it will handle most acute gingivitis and/or gum problems as well as
gum related tooth pain.
1 part myrrh gum-by volume-
1 part oregon grape rt.-golden seal works better if you can get it-
5 parts water
or if your the ghetto type
1 small handfull myrhh
1 small handfull oregon grape rt.
1 pint water
decoct for 1.5 hours with a lid in a non aluminum pot
that means simmer it, not a boil.
decant into container and cap.
carry it with you, rinse and gargle every hour.
floss daily-this is the kicker- as well as brush and maintain good oral hygiene.
avoid alcohol, white flour and white sugar products and generally keep the diet alkaline
and simple or in other words eat the way you probably know you should anyway.
drink water and finally avoid most commercial tooth pastes.
continue treatment until FOUR DAYS AFTER the apparent symptoms have subsided.
if you are usually using goldenseal be sure to keep yourself well hydrated
goldenseal in a dehydrated person can clog up your lymphatic system.
other remedy's that are handy for gum problems
oregon grape route on it's own chewed
you'll need to chew it all day
for a week or so.
good for your liver & digestion among other things.
tea tree
the traveler's friend
good for cankers and sore teeth in a pinch
clove
for the mouth it's similar to tea tree in effect
but more numbing.
as a random point of interest
myrrh can temporarily increase white blood cell count 4x
myrhh and goldenseal together double eachothers effectiveness
good luck

in portland at least, i know there is a program to get dental care to the homeless for free/very cheap. or just go to a state with a good free state healthcare program that includes dental, TN? maybe. anway dental schools will often do stuff cheap 2, check at drop-ins, etc to find where you cn get the free care.
Hello,
This is the most common cause for bleeding problems of gums. The initial stage of gum
disease is known as gingivitis in which gums become swollen and tender. Bleeding gums
can be extremely discomforting physically and mentally. If gum disease is not treated
initially, it progresses to Periodontists and finally tooth loss. So you should consult to a
dental specialist for better treatment.

What have you been eating recently? I just want to make sure this isn't a vitamin/nutrient deficiency. Been getting your vitamin C?
Listen to Finn! If you haven't been getting enough vitamin C lately then definitely try to get hold of some since scurvy can aggravate this kind of problem badly. But there's lot's of other reasons that your gums can go to hell that have nothing to do with vitamin C. Several metabolic disorders including diabetes will also cause a nasty gum problem and major tooth decay. Also just plain old not brushing the teeth will cause problems for lots of folks.
I use a brand of toothpaste called sensodyne combined with some prescription mouthwash that was prescribed to me after a clinic and it seems to be working great to keep my teeth and gums healthy after I lost a few teeth. The toothpaste can be found at any supermarket and the mouthwash can be prescribed by any dentist, it's the same kind they prescribe after an extraction.
On the west coast Outside In up in Portland OR will connect you with someone and on the east coast Remote Area Medical Clinics will fix your teeth up. Anywhere in between I suggest you get yourself to a coast.

um there's Arbor Free Clinic at the VA Hospital in Menlo Park, CA does dental stuff. I honestly don't know to what extent though - only person I know who's been there just had them yank a tooth out

if anyone uses Dr. Bronner's soap, use the tea tree one for brushing your teeth. i thought it would be nasty-tasting, but only use like one or two drops, and it's very tolerable. =)
i use the tea tree soap for everything, because tea tree inhibits bacteria growth. it's also great for washing dreadlocks and keeping mold away if your 'locks are often damp or wet. a small amount under the arms also is good for odor-control, so i just read. i haven't tried this yet.
