Inspirational – “Our Dentist Appointment”
Two weeks ago my eight-year-old daughter woke up with a tooth abscess. It was a baby tooth that got treated before by a dentist. After some time, this tooth changed in color and had a black line going across it. It was also wiggling from side to side as her adult tooth was coming in.
Before tooth abscess happened we were at the dentist appointment where I showed him this tooth with a black line across. He said not to worry as it didn’t bother her. So later, this abscess happened.
By-the-way pulling a tooth with an infection present is dangerous, as the infection may get into the bloodstream; so I only had one option left, to try and help my child with natural methods/remedies.
It took three days for the abscess to go away. I was about to give up, and scheduled an appointment to see a dentist on the second day.
On the third day I cancelled the appointment feeling silly because during the cancellation, I told the receptionist something like “I will try to heal her abscess naturally” her reply was, “ooookaaay” to it. I am glad I did because on the fourth or fifth day her abscess went away on its own. What happened is it bursted, somehow popped in her mouth.
*Antibiotics, unfortunately, weakens immune system dramatically, and have very dangerous side effects.
What she did to get rid of the abscess:
- Rinsed her mouth for about three times a day with a Sanguinarian Mouth Wash for about 5-10 minutes.
- Slept with the cotton ball, soaked in Sanguinarian Mouth Wash, on the abscess.
- Every single morning, sometimes at noon and evenings, she was doing oil pulling (avacado oil or coconut oil) on an empty stomach, for 15-20 minutes. *Any vegetable oil would work.
- On about the third day, I put some drops of diluted oregano oil on a cotton swab and gently rubbed the abscessed area with it just once.
- Swished “tooth abscess paste” in her mouth. (Once, two times daily)
- Drank cavity healing tea/black walnut hull tea one cup every day.
After four or five days she woke up with no abscess, flat gum once again!!! I could see a tiny split on top of the gum where abscess oozed out from, but it healed in no time. This happened during the night on the fourth or fifth day. For just in case, she continued oil pulling process but in the mornings only.
We then decided to go see a dentist for a tooth extraction. Her adult tooth was about to come in, plus I did not like the color of her treated, baby tooth, looked infected to me.
While sitting at the office, I was so nervous to hear what dentist had to say as I really hoped the infection got cleared away. Hearing that she had no infection was a big relief! That same visit, dentist was able to pull out her tooth! Oh, how excited I was! Check!✔️ Another proven remedy that works!
Final Word:
Moms – never give up! We tend to panic so fast as moms. When our children are sick there is always a solution in helping them overcome their sicknesses naturally, we might not always know how. During times like that remember to stay calm, do not panic, and use your best judgement on every health issue that arises with your child. Stay strong, ask God to give you help and wisdom, strength, patience, and try to help your child naturally first.
Word of Caution:
The key in using natural methods is consistency though. If you tried natural remedies above, and it still didn’t work on you or your child, you absolutely need to go see a dentist and unfortunately take antibiotics. I would give this one a try first though!
