Tooth & Gum Care at Home

Its the jet & fast food age but we tend to ignore small things & land up paying heaps to the doctors. Especially the dentists!

There are some really simple & easy medicines in our kitchen that could help healing teeth & gum problems... Try them if you are not allergic to them... in case it has (mostly not but...) adverse affects see a doc...

Remedies for Tooth & Gum problems:

• NEEM: This is one of the best remedies & always works like a charm for me... Whenever I have pain in my teeth or they get very sensitive I brush my teeth with neem powder & tooth paste... The pain or sensitivity disappears in 2 days. Neem is supposed to be a very powerful anti-fungal medicine and has many more to it... I will write more about neem & its uses later!
• SALT: The common salt in our kitchen is also very useful in curing problem related to our teeth... use it as a mouthwash & it will clean the infectious areas within. You can even used salt to brush your teeth... It helps in killing all the germs & keeping your teeth and gums clean & healthy!
• CLOVE & OIL OF CLOVE: My grand ma used to tell me to keep a clove inside my mouth & suck its juice making sure that the juice touches the painful or infected part of the tooth or gum... This used to solve the problem almost immediately... Even rubbing oil of cloves in your teeth & gums helps in maintaining them... It helps in removing the swelling & pain.
• GARLIC: A clove of garlic pressed in your painful spot will help a lot... I have never tried this but I have heard may of my relatives talk about how effective it is. Apparently Gralic with salt will be even more beneficial.
• COCONUT: This is useful for solving your ulcer problems... In case you have an ulcer inside your mouth a chew a fresh piece of coconut... let the milk of the coconut touch us ulcer & it will heal within no time... If you keep having ulcers then its better you check it out with your doc.
• ICE: A block of ice pressed against the swollen part of your gum will give instant relief.

These are few things that are normally available with us & can be used instantly for solving some problems. The best way to avoid teeth problems is to make sure that you brush your teeth regularly especially after you have something sweet & if you can use neem or salt every day while brushing it will most definitely help.

Before I sign off... there are so many benefits of neem, clove, garlic, coconut and salt... I'll write more about them soon... In case any of you readers have some more suggestions they could be posted as well...
