Buyer beware.
Several years ago I awoke with pain and swelling in my jaw, neck and around a tooth. A dentist said a root canal would be best which I could not afford or have the tooth pulled.
I wanted to keep my tooth and said no to both of which the dentist said your going to be in so much pain you'll be coming back.
I applied 3 drops of the Thieves oil blend and Peppermint to a gauze and rotated it back and forth to each side of the tooth. (This is hot and will make your eyes water) I put the same amount of drops over the swelling to outside of jaw applying very warm moist heat several times a day.
At night I applied the oils to gauze placed inside jaw against tooth and applying during the night if awakened by pain. By morning the pain and swelling was reduced. I did this daily a little less often each day. By day 7, all pain and swelling was gone.
I continued for another week applying 1 drop of each oil inside and outside once a day and night just to be sure it was under control.
I did receive a letter from my dentist asking if I had gone to a different dentist being unsatisfied with him. He wanted to talk to me about keeping me as a patient.
I had a flare up 6 months later and I addressed it with the first symptoms, applied just the oils and it was gone the next day but continued with the oils for a week.
This year Christmas 2010 I had another tooth cause problems as I could not shut my mouth and there was swelling in the jaw. It was very painful. This time I had Clove on hand and it did take the pain away.
I added it to Thieves and Peppermint did the same protocol with faster results. At any signs of feeling the tooth or slight pain, I put Clove on right away to make sure the issue was resolved.
I learned years ago just because something feels better it is still a good idea to continue longer with the oils to make sure it has been resolved.
Thanks Young Living, I have my teeth and saved a lot of money to buy more oils. I'm very happy.

| 1. | Associated topics: abscessed-tooth,dental,gums,toothache — 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 |
| 2. | Associated topics: abscessed-tooth,dental,gums,toothache — "Both clove and benzocaine gels had significantly lower mean pain scores than placebos. 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 |
