I have been following OraWellness for a few years. This is one of my concern as well and I certainly can see the fact so many people have the same concerns I have by looking at the comment posted on this article “I have a root canal – what are my options?”. OraWellness’s Healthy Mouth Blend to swish in the mouth for two minutes and practice coconuts oil pulling with 2 drops of clove, tea tree or other antimicrobial Essential Oil for 10 min and spit it out. * Not to the sink – it will clog the pipe!!! Another product I use and recommend to my patients are BioCidin Oral pump called Dental Cidin LS. 2 pumps into the mouth to swish for 2 minutes after floss, brush your tooth 2-3 x/day. Compliance, compliance, and compliance. I like this pump style of oral care product. The taste is not bad at all. My 6 and 9 years old patients are doing that to avoid having the cavities. Pumping the bottle makes the another added ritual so much easier. Not even take 3 seconds to pump into my mouth! When you read this article, they are talking about ozone therapy. I have done “ozone” treatment when the nerve pain from the root canal tooth (my case is #12 & #13 next to each other and periodontal procedure done the between these teeth) up toward my eye. The holistic dentist I go to in Boston asked me to come in to see her for 5 min. ozone therapy for once a week for 8 times. It might be working or the follow-up methods I created might be working. I was considering to fly to Fresno, CA to see the dentist who is specialized in Root Canal teeth removal and implant in but I am holding off for last 6 months since I do not have any flare up. I also do this trick I created using the GUM toothpick with TeaTree Oil every once a while. I do not know how many patients of mine were able to save the trip to the dentist. It really works. I am sure other tea tree oil works but I started using RMO brand’s Niaouli so that I keep using and recommending to my patients. My husband has an abscessed tooth and this trick works well.
