Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Greetings! I joined because I have had an interest in this topic for a while. I have been researching and trying to learn what I can on my own, but I have wanted to learn more. My family and I are currently in the process of moving to another state, so I had planned to wait till we were settled to continue my learning, but I recently had a problem and am hoping I can find an alternative to " traditional " methods. I seem to have a problem with one of my teeth...well, the gum above the tooth. I have a cap on a tooth near the upper back of my mouth. I had a sinus infection a bit ago and was having some pain in the area of that tooth, which seemed to worsen with the fluctuation of my sinus pain and pressure. After the sinus infection was gone, I noticed that the gum above the tooth was slightly tender if I pressed on it, but the gums and the tooth itself weren't paining me. When I went to the dentist for my cleaning and checkup, he said that it didn't look like there was a problem but he saw something " odd " on the xray that made him think there could potentially be a problem there. He mentioned the possibility of root canal and gave me the number of a specialist. I don't currently have a car, so I haven't been to the specialist yet, but I am trying to research alternative to root canal (or pulling the tooth out completely). I have had root canals when I was younger and now I have gaps towards the back of my mouth where teeth basically disintegrated and fell out. I don't want to lose another tooth even though I have a pretty full set, but I also don't want to mess around with a possible abscess. A few days after I saw the dentist, I noticed that the gum above the tooth had swollen a little...like a small bump. Strangely, there is still no pain. I don't have a toothache or anything. While the spot feels tender if I touch it, it's not horribly painful. I'm guessing it's an abscess because it looks like one as far as I can tell. The only thing is that I am confused by the absence of pain. Not that I WANT pain, but it makes me wonder if it's not possibly something else I don't know about...or maybe it is an abscess but could be cured in a way other than root canal or extraction. I have been studying essential oils and found that Myrhh is good for dental care as a mouthrinse. I have recently purchased some and have been rinsing with it. When I first noticed the puffiness, I had used some Hydrogen Peroxide to rinse because I remembered a dentist once telling me to rinse with that for a similar problem. The other oddity is that the gum isn't always puffy/inflamed. Every day, it seems to puff up, but about half of every day, it is not bumpy/inflamed at all. This is another reason I have wondered if I couldn't fix it another way. I have heard that an abscess can be a major problem if untreated, so I don't want to just leave it in this state. So, I was hoping someone would know something I didn't or couldn't find. Thanks a bunch for any help/info.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Dear KF, Sai Ram. That is a greeting, a mantra and a blessing. Your post is very interesting. Have you considered Tea Tree Oil as a possible solution? I read a lot of positive things about it, but unfortunately I haven't had a first hand experience, esp. since it is difficult to get it in India, where I live. Homeopathy is another option for you. If you have access to a good homeopath in your area, I am sure you will get relief. Hoping to hear that your problem is solved soon and with best wishes, Swamy holistic-health , K F <wordgoddess@f...> wrote: > Greetings! > > I joined because I have had an interest in this topic for a while.
