Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Namaste all, I'm a 35 year old living in the USA for the last 10 years. I went for a routine dental checkup and the dentist showed me the X-RAY and told me that the gum area below the crown ( I had a root canal around 6 years ago ) is infected. I will need to undergo a procedure called " root canal retreatment " where the dentist would remove the crown , clean up the infected area and replace the crown. The problem with this approach is that this is just a patchwork kind of thing and the tooth may get infected again. 1. Is there any Ayurvedic medicine/tooth powder I can use safely to treat this problem or prevent it from reocurring ? 2. Is there any specific diet I need to follow ? As determined by my Vaidya my constitution is Vata-Pitta. I follow a conventional South-Indian diet comprising of rice,dal, sambhar, vegetables etc. Thanks and regards, Pradeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Dear Pradeep, You may try Divya Dant Manjan and Dant Kanti Toothpaste which are available at Patanjali Chikitsalayas and Baba Ramdev Sewa Kendras. Manjan should be used regularly. After using the Manjan, please don't gargle. Just spit out the saliva leaving a thin film on the gums for a few minutes, say for about 10 minutes or so. Then you can gargle. This will slowly but surely help you over a period of three weeks or so. But keep using the manjan regularly and some times, the toothpaste. Or you may use the paste at night and the manjan at other times. This practice has solved all my gum problems including the one like yours. I too have a cap over my teeth after undergoing root canal. It is fine now and does not give any trouble any more. So, please try it how it works. Trying it should not be a problem, I hope!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thank you Acharya-ji for your info. I have placed the order for Divya dant manjan online. Sir, its much cheaper than the insurance amounts we pay here in USA for dental services. Just to look at your teeth they charge close to 100 dollars! I have a general question. Does Ayurveda mention anything about flossing methods?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Dear friend, I am not a vaidya. Hence I can't tell you about flossing. You may ask that question to other vaidyas online. When I had developed toothache, root canal was done by a good dentist. Yet, it was quite painful and expensive. Next time when I had tooth problem, the sane Dentist developed some sympathy for me and in the very next visit, he did something and placed the tooth that was giving trouble, into my hands quietly removing it without my even knowing about it. It was painlessly removed. He did not even charge me as I had helped many of his dentist friends by curing their back pain as it is a professional hazard for all dentists. So he seems to have helped me in that fashion. You can even post this online while asking vaidyas online about flossing. Now with the use of Divya Dant Manjan, I am absolutely fine without any problem whatsoever. Hence if you post this mail also, perhaps they will be in a better position to give their advice. Let no one charge a hundred dollars even to look at your teeth. S.M.ACHARYA http://health.BackacheFreeWorld _________ I have a general question. Does Ayurveda mention anything about flossing methods?
