Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Hi all, Was wondering if anyone knew of anything to use for abscessed gums? My dentist says I have periodontal gum disease, and that abscessing was " expected " . He won't give me antibiotics, and I'm a diabetic, so it keeps my sugar level up. I have tried rinsing with salt water, but it doesn't help the abscess, nor does it help the pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 1. Electric toothbrush - I know it will be hard, just start gentle. It SAVED my teeth. 2. Colloidal silver Why won't he give you antibiotics for abscesses? That's awful. Your whole system must be sick. secretcat63 <secretcat63 [secretcat63] Sunday, January 12, 2003 7:41 PM Abscessed Gums?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Thanks! I am currently using the soniccare toothbrush, and your right..it hurts, my gums bleed everytime I brush. I'll have to research Colloidal Silver, don't know anything about it. He won't give me antibiotics, because I'll get rid of this abscess (usually by breaking it myself, when I can't deal with the pain, and it stops me from eating), but I get another one, in a different location with 2-3 weeks. I can't afford the cleaning bill, 900.00 per upper and lower every three months, and he won't guarentee this will stop the disease. My last check up, I only had one cavity. --- Sal <sal wrote: > 1.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Personally, I think your dentist is a quack and you should shop around.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Cathy, I had deep deep cleaning in all 4 quadrants, way below the gum line, plus they put antibiotics way under the gum line (with a syringe, but not to inject it, just to get it down in there) every three months, and it cost maybe $120 for my whole mouth. That was 10 years ago, but still. Not $900! Since you can't afford his treatment anyway, and it doesn't cost anything to shop around, I say, go lookin! I'm just appalled at how your whole entire body must be sickened by this. YOU DESERVE BETTER. You go, girl, and get help. Get well!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Get a new dentist! And report your current one to the American Dental Association for mal-practice! My dentist _always_ gives me anti-biotics. I have a dental problem like yours too! The failure to give you the antibiotics for gum infections can do damage to your heart as well! It seems to me the reason he's not giving them to you is that he is charging you $900 per visit (a LOT steep, I think)! He's not going to kill off the goose who's laying the golden egg, if you know what I mean! As a matter of fact, my dentist won't even see me, unless I take antibiotics before having any work done! Those gum infections are serious! In addition to finding a _good_ dentist - I recommend using a combination of _GOOD_ tea tree oil and cinnamon oi. Both are good for fighting infections. But ALSO check with your doctor who is monitoring your diabetes about the use of antibiotics. Don't want to get you in worse shape.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 I believe that I would go see an MD or an Osteopath and tell him/her what you told us. secretcat63 <secretcat63 [secretcat63]Sunday, January 12, 2003 7:41 PM Subject: Abscessed Gums?Hi all, Was wondering if anyone knew of anything to use for abscessed gums?
