Re: Tooth and gum sensitivity

I don't know about supplements, but I would try a

warm baking soda solution to rinse mouth, hold in

mouth, swish around and spit out. You could also

try Colgate's Peroxide mouth cleanser. If you

keep the mouth clean, it will heal faster and

there are many germs in a mouth. I would try the

baking soda myself.

Just to let you know, I had all my amalgams removed almost three

months ago, and finally the sensitivity is disappearing. Mine was so

bad that I could only eat soft, luke warm food for a while.

It is very normal for the teeth to be that way, and of course a bit

misalignment won't help.

I found the best thing to do was baby it. Chew on the other side if

this is an option for you. I avoided hard foods, anything too hot or

cold. Basically, eating things at moderate temperatures. I even used

some orajel when it really flared up and I couldn't sleep. I really

thought, man..my teeth are going to be like this forever?! But they

gradually improved and I don't have much bother now, other than

eating ice cream..but I had that sensitiviy before.

You can try a lot of vitamin C too, it is very helpful in healing. I

also used herbal mouth wash.

Hi Jan,

I'm sipping orange juice as I type. I can't believe how painful this

is. It really has gotten better since the laser and bite adjustment,

but I'm scheduled to have two more removed next week. Thanks for

sharing your experience. I will try to have a bit more patience with

my recoveryy.

Thanks,
