I've never had problems with my teeth. I notice now that sometimes my gums are sore and inflamed? Does this go away with treatment? What are some of the things you do to lower the bacteria? I'm now going back to coconut oil and thinking about purchasing this mouth spray from Sovereign that the say works on viruses and bacteria or the Colloidal silver spray? I've never even had a cavity for pete's sake?

My gums never bled, but were very sore and tender and I felt like I had pockets of infection all over my mouth. My breath was bad and also my teeth felt like they had cavities. I swish with wheat grass every night and it has helped immensely. It also cleared an ear infection that I'd had for some time! I am very happy with my results. I swish about 1/8 teaspoon of Amazing Greens wheatgrass in a little shotglass of water for about 2-3 minutes, if you can do longer, it would probably be better but 3 minutes is about all I've been able to work up to before I feel like I'll gag. I spit it out and do not rinse my mouth after. I've been doing this for a few months and have no more issues with teeth or gums. I could not do the coconut oil pulling - it just grosses me out, so went in search of another therapy and found this on you tube. It's the bomb!

Oil pulling has also helped a lot of people - and if you use coconut oil do oil pull, then you get the antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal help from that as well.

I'm glad Jenny posted about the wheat grass - I couldn't remember which grass she had used and had good success with it!

Thanks Jenny. My gums aren't bleeding but some are tender and inflamed. Mainly the 4 center teeth at the bottom. Does vitamin shoppe carry the wheatgrass? I notice it comes and goes.

You might just want to try warm salt water too.

Just swish and spit.

Long ago when ships were sailing to the New World there were many oarsmen that tired and would not work. They were whipped and then those lashes on their backs were doused with salt water from the ocean so they would heal quickly and no infection would come about. This was a punishment but also a way that they could get those oarsmen back to rowing those oars again.

Oh yes, salt water. I do that if I have a sore throat. Perhaps it will work with this as well.

I looked at the wheatgrass ingredients and I'm wondering if it is the chlorophyll that is the main agent that is helping. I have chlorophyll as well so maybe I'll try that and see if that makes a difference.

Yes, I think in the youtube video she talks about the chlorophyll and how it's anti-everything and small enough to get into all the little places and under your gums, etc. I had also started suffering from allergies a few months ago and people are especially affected this year in Phoenix due to all the wind and weird weather we've been having. I am no longer having issues with allergies, either, come to think of it. I'll sneeze here and there, but I'm not suffering from the drainage and throat irritation that everyone else is having. My teeth are also whiter, my gums which were receding seem to be healing (I can't say completely for sure, but so far they do look it to me, I'll know better in a few months I think), I don't have "morning breath" and the bad breath I was suffering from is gone.

I don't know why you couldn't just use straight chlorophyll to try? Maybe wheatgrass has some stuff in it that doesn't, who knows? I just get it off of Amazon and I think it was under $20 for the tub of it and I've barely made a dent in it....pennies per day, I'm sure cheaper than the chlorophyll though. Don't rinse your mouth after you swish....yes, it does leave your teeth and stuff a little green, but that goes away in a few minutes.

Best of luck to you!

I developed gingivitis at one point. Gums were swollen and red. I switched to using baking soda in place of toothpaste and really concentrated in getting the bristles into the swollen area. Yes, it hurt at first but soon I soon became used to it. I also rinsed with salt water and did oil pulling with coconut oil. Gingivitis is long gone now and at my last trip to the dentist I was told my gums never looked better! So now I stick to this routine.

Thanks all for the suggestions. OMG I did the chlorophyll last evening and spent a great deal of time getting the green off my teeth (lol)😱.
I honestly didn't even think about that when I decided to do it. Lyme brain I guess. So I am going to use some of the suggestions noted below.

Krimpet I think that is why jennysetter does it at night just before bed.

I did the same thing and my teeth were all green and in between. It made me brush a long time. lol

Wasn't sure if the wheatgrass was as dark as the chlorophyll. I mean I'm talking Incredible Hulk on steroids, green. I did coconut oil today. I'll just rotate and see what works best.

I've also experienced the inflammed tender gums off and on. I switched to a toothpaste that has hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. It has helped.
