What I do in addition to morning oil swishing is a regimen located on the site saveyourteeth.com. which I noted in my previous post. It is basically 1. brushing teeth with Vicco toothpaste or sometimes Dr.Bronner's liquid peppermint soap which is my choice of dental cleaners. 2. Flossing with tea tree dental tape. 3. Irrigating gums with Waterpik using pocket probe attachment. 4. Using a soft child's tooth brush I apply to my gumline Dr.Behm's mixture which is 3 parts baking soda, one part Sea Salt , two dropper fulls of coloidal silver and a small bit of water to make a paste. 4. After application rinse out mixtue well then I brush my tongue. The rationale behind this procedure is to breakup and kill the bacteria colonies which have set up residence under the gumline which is the source of infection and cannot be reached which brushing alone. This all is explained in explained in more detail on the web site. Hope this helped :)
