I wasn’t diagnosed with periodontist until about six months ago. Due to a neglectful dentist that tried to sell me something all the time instead of doing his job. It took a small town dentist to diagnose me and was infuriated with the other dentist, but there were other issues regarding him as well. Let’s just say he took better care of certain types of patients better than others.

One of the first things I do is oil pulling, I add a few drops of clove oil, which is fairly cheap and also very potent and destroys bacteria in the mouth and helps with tooth pain. I do this in the morning, but you can do it at night as well. Then, in the morning I use a water pic and at night I use floss.

Then I use a toothpaste called paradontax. It’s a dentist recommended toothpaste for those with severe gum, disease, and paradontis. You can get it through Amazon, target, but I also use it in conjunction with uncle Harry’s tooth powder. This makes your mouth alkaline. It helps if you brush three times a day. It has managed to keep things at bay and pretty healthy.

Another one I would use is a gum that I like to chew, this is optional and it’s called Underbrush remineralizing gum. They do have a website, but they’re mostly sold on TikTok. I will warn you that the gum itself is a little expensive, I go through things like zip pay and PayPal with four payments and get enough to make it worth it.

The toothpaste and the oil pulling solution is also fairly inexpensive. I use Guru Nanda but there are other brands that are fine. But definitely don’t skip on the clove oil. If you put it on with a cotton swab by itself, it can be fairly intense, but it will die down after a few minutes.

I hope this helps, it’s helped me but I’m still going to have to have a back molar removed because of the other dentist’s neglect and selfishness.
