Natural Sensitive Teeth Protection

You will find natural teeth protection remedies in this article. Teeth can be sensitive to warmth, cold, liquids, air, and even sour or sweet foods. Symptoms include different levels of pain with or without movement. Causes can be toothaches or facial neuralgia. Medical treatment usually includes pain killers (possible side effects).

From the natural perspective, the goal is to help the nerves reestablish themselves. Also look at emotional causes. Using Calcium magnesium citrate liquid at one tablespoon twice a day may assist.

Natural Healing Protocol — First, choose an herb. Then add a cell salt or cell salt solution. Finally, choose the homeopathic remedy that fits your situation best. Combining supplements will do more to support your body’s ability to function properly than using just one. Your ability to heal will depend on the severity and length of time symptoms have been present.


Herbs for Sensitive Teeth

Herbs are plants valued for their specific strengthening/ tonifying properties.

Dr. Christopher’s Herbal Calcium – to establish a natural calcium supply.

Goldenseal tincture and Myrrh tincture – make an herbal mouthwash to reduce sensitivity with 20 drops of each tincture in 8 ounces of water. Gargle a mouthful several times a day. Spit out or swallow as desired (taste is rather bitter).

Dave’s Mood Formula – combination of melissa, hops, mistletoe, bitter orange, peppermint, and valerian nourishes and calms the nerves.


Cell Salts to Help Sensitive Teeth

To make a cell salt solution, put up to 10 tablets of each cell salt in a 16- to 24-ounce bottle; fill with water and swirl to dissolve tablets. Sip throughout the day.
