Garlic cured an infected wisdom tooth I had for years. Oil pulling with tumeric and garlic infused sunflower oil also helped heal my damaged teeth.

I have periodontal disease and was told that being diabetic is probably the cause, contributing factor. When I had problems a couple of years back I used oil pulling and the pain in the tooth I was concerned with stopped. From time to time I still do it but am supposed to have dental treatment for it but will be on a waiting list. I have dry mouth, dry eye as well. The eye specialist put me on omeaga 3 supplements and said the dry mouth is also a symptom. The dentist asked me if I drink enough water (yes) and she was interested in what the eye doctor told me. I stopped taking the supplements because the ones he supplied were expensive. I will give this another try as it does help a lot, just a bit of a nuisance.

I was put on two lots antibiotics due to acute periodontal infections, and was told about oil pulling by the naturopath at the health shop I purchased some probiotics from. Three days after finishing the antibiotics the infection returned, so I started oil pulling twice a day using sesame oil with a drop of wild oregano oil in it. The next day the pain had stopped, then the swelling and inflammation vanished. I've kept up the oil pulling, alternating between sesame oil and coconut oil every month and I haven't had any gum problems since. Also my skin has improved quite markedly, my teeth are whiter, and I don't suffer from a dry mouth any more.
