Bad teeth decay

That's why we've just been renting. We've saved money for awhile now to just did our teeth. It's the most important thing on our list.

I found a holistic dentist that does this.

$1800 for a 6 week program =/

My gums are pretty shot also unfortunately. It's loose in some areas. Trust me I'm already ashamed about it. But I have to start being truthful somewhere.

If no one has mentioned it, call your state dental school. Work done at a seriously discounted d rate by senior dental students.

That’s good.

here in NYC we have city hospitals who offer full health AND dental plans. you simply need to agree to do everything through their clinic. will post a link if I can find it.

also new york state offers dental insurance, through the same state service that provides health insurance for all residents. your state may do so as well.

Rubbing tea tree oil on your gums will definitely help them.

here OP. this relates to NYC, but perhaps you have something similar near you.

Thank you but I'm pretty sure Tennessee is known not to have good options when it comes to that. But with that being said I have to just look at all my options and go from there. Until then I just have to do the best I can with what I have.

The dentist will try to sucker you into getting a bone graft on any upper teeth pulled. he'll give you a scare story on how pulling the teeth may open a hole to the sinuses which could later lead to chronic sinus infections. So pulling one tooth can cost $800.

That bone graft is just them squeezing some powdered bone into where they the roots were, takes an extra one minute and increases their profit by $400.

ok, I hear you. but if you can try to apply now. here is one link to do so!!!

Hey OP, here is another great resource for you, in Tennessee.



Link: [link to www.tndentalassociation.com (secure)]

Low-cost Dental Care / Safety Net Dental Clinic Directory

directory of Safety Net Dental Clinics throughout the State of Tennessee.

Check out Nicaragua for an affordable alternative. You can get a cheap flight on Spirit or flight to San Jose or Liberia in Costa Rica and bus it to Nicaragua. We have many great dentists who trained in the US. You can go on FB forums for Expats in Nicaragua and get lots of good recommendations for dentists who speak English.

Second, add a Lysine supplement.

[link to www.jbbardot.com (secure)]

Search Lysine and Periodontal disease and you will see how important it is. Smoking (weed or tobacco) depletes lysine, which leads to dry mouth, which leads to periodontal disease.

Floss before you go to sleep. This often eliminates morning breath. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Do not use mouthwashes. The alcohol dries out your gums, making it worse. Make sure you are using a soft toothbrush.

At night, mix ground turmeric, a tiny bit of black pepper and coconut oil into a thick, almost dry paste. Rub this along your gums and any place that you see pitting. You can leave it on for twenty minutes or sleep with it. Put a towel on the pillow because it is a pain to get out of clothes.

Look into myrrh oil instead of clove. Myrrh has the eugenol that clove has, but doesn't need a carrier oil. You can add myrrh into the turmeric and/or mix equal parts myrrh and frankincense and using a cotton swab, trace it along the gum line.

In the Bible, the gifts are frankincense, myrrh and gold. The gold wasn't metal - it is turmeric. These are the three most important oils and they work well together.

You can make a toothpaste of turmeric powder, frankincense, myrrh and baking soda or betonite clay. Add a little mint or cinnamon oil to make it taste better.

Activated charcoal toothpaste is great, but do it every other day.

Finally, try making a tea from turmeric root, ginger root, lemongrass and a touch of black pepper. Turmeric is not easily absorbed, but adding black pepper increases the absorbancy 2000%. You can use powdered turmeric, but I think it is better with fresh root if it is available. Cut a few pieces into chunks, boil it on low for 20 minutes and drink it cold or iced throughout the day. This will help relieve some of the inflammation and keep your body healthy. It tastes good, too.

You will notice results of the turmeric powder toothpaste and gum rub in less than two weeks.

Good luck. And check out Nicaragua. I had a friend years ago with the worst teeth you could imagine. $2,000 later, his teeth look fabulous - and they are his real teeth.

Many blessings to you and your wife. Thank you for your courage in addressing this sometimes hostile group. :)

It could very welll be a related cohort of your position..... it you lash out at me instead of fifteen different people suggesting fifteen different holistic solutions from aqueous heavy metals to terpines.....just two things that someone without a medical background (let alone a dental background) should be putting anywhere near their mouth......

Visit a dental school. Dental schools often offer cheaper dental-care than dentists do, so if you have a dental emergency, try visiting one of the country's many top-notch dentist schools listed on Dental Site. Dental schools will work with you to determine the cost of care. For example, NYU's School of Dentistry will evaluate patients free of charge and create a treatment plan that is priced within your means. Every school is different, but most programs have walk-in, emergency care and appointment services for everybody, not just students.

Visit the dentist on the government's dollar. Click here to find a federally funded health care center through the U.S. Department of Health. Everyone is eligible at the free clinics, it just requires a lot of waiting in line.''


Visit your county or state's dental department website for more information on local dentists and low-cost aid programs. The New York City Department of Health and L.A. County Department of Health both have an Oral Services page listing nonprofit low cost primary dental care providers. Most health service programs are only for low-income families, seniors and children, however, so keep that in mind if you don't apply.

If you're really hurting for cash and are eligible, you can participate in a clinical trial and get free dental work. Some studies will even pay you. Check out the National Institute of Health website or ClinicalTrials.gov to see which studies you may qualify for, but remember, while studies are free, some do involve experimental drugs and techniques, so be careful!

I should make more clear. Add the two or three drops of Clove Oil to warm water, only enough to gargle with at one time. You want a potent mixture, it should burn your tounge a little while vigorously sloshing in your mouth.

Also, do not spit it down your drain. Oils build up in drains, best to spit it out in wastebasket or outside or whatever.

OP, go to a clinic!!! ASAP!!! if you are near a major city, find out what they have there!! if not, please go to nashville. please check the info that I posted here, above. thanks!!!

Doesn’t TN have the best medical schools outside of NYC and Boston?

$1800 is too much

I paid $300

So is sweet ice tea with fresh lemon. A drink I used to love to drink all day long, but now seldom have now. I have lost two teeth at age 58 and don't want to any more go bad on me.

I mean we are in no pain by any means. Thank you for all the information. As soon as we can get a week off, we plan on trying to do something about it. Don't really have the spare income but something needs done.

Eh. I wouldn't say the best. My local hospital essentially killed my grandfather when he found out he had bile duct cancer. Trust is a big issue when it comes to some of the experiences I've had. Vanderbilt is a known one for sure, at least when it comes to medical stuff. Haven't heard too much about Tennessee having great dental care places.

I usually have one "special" drink a day which consists of water, lemon, Himalayan salt, turmeric, pepper,and chia seeds.
