Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I had some sensitivity around my gum line and asked my dental hygienist about it during a cleaning. She said that my gums were receding and that nothing could be done about it because it was just one of those things that happens as you age.
At that point in time, I had been using Dentarome Plus toothpaste for about a month and decided to add a drop of the Melrose oil blend to my toothbrush about three times a week.
Seven months later at my next cleaning, I experienced very little sensitivity. I asked my hygienist if the gums were still receding and she said that they were not receding at all. I don't think she remembered the condition of my gums at my last cleaning.
She also said that there was very little plaque on my teeth and that there was minimal bleeding. She told me that my gums were in great shape - good color and tight around the base of the teeth and not puffy and swollen, which is a sign of infection.

| 1. | Associated topics: dental,sensitive-teeth,gums,gum-disease — Study 1: "[Oil pulling] would benefit the general population by giving more confidence in the ancient practices, thus preventing tooth decay and loss." Study 2: "Oil pulling therapy has been equally effective like chlorhexidine on halitosis and organisms, associated with halitosis." Study 3: "The oil pulling therapy showed a reduction in the plaque index, modified gingival scores, and total colony count of aerobic microorganisms in the plaque of adolescents with plaque-induced gingivitis." Study 4: "Oil pulling can be used as an effective preventive adjunct in maintaining and improving oral health." Study 5: "The myth that the effect of oil-pulling therapy on oral health was just a placebo effect has been broken, and there are clear indications of possible saponification and emulsification process, which enhances its mechanical cleaning action." | Link |

No significant difference was observed between clove and benzocaine regarding pain scores. Clove gel might possess a potential to replace benzocaine as a topical [anesthetic] agent before needle insertion." | Link |
