gums

[Connemmara]

Since I fell two years ago on my mouth and got some new crowns I am tortured with mouth pain. At the moment I do feel I have an infection but cant get an appointment with dentist for another two weeks. Anything I can do at the moment. I used salt water and various mouthwashes - I guess when I do see the dentist he will just give me an antibiotic.

Have you tried the NHS dental emergency service? they can at least sort you some pain relief and maybe antibiotics. http://www.nhs.uk/ser...es/serviceSearch.aspx

Oil of oregano diluted in oil of olive and massaged into the gum works wonders. But it stings at first really bad, so be careful. Another good supplement is CoQ10.

airam where would I find oil of oregano - your are right about the Coq 10 - it is for the gums. I will have to stock up on these things maybe from Hollands & Barretts.

pure oil of oregano - priced £37.50 - no could not afford that.
