One suggestion, get a good water pick. I've been using one for last three months (courtesy of the dentist) You wouldn't believe what come out from under the gum line even AFTER brushing and flossing real good.

I read that in an article somewhere. I want to get one because it is hard to hold floss sometimes (for me, anyway), but something else always comes up that needs the money more.

I have a bad tooth that has often and on given me trouble. I hate dentist so I only go when a tooth needs pulling. I have had a tooth ache since Wednesday and was traveling so I couldn't do much for it except gargle with peroxide and anbesol. My jaw is swollen and it hurts like hell. Now that I am home, I can get to my herbs and last night I put clove oil on the affected area and went to bed, bad mistake. I woke up several times in the night and finally got up at 4:00 am to take my willow bark tincture for pain and inflammation. (The clove oil worked I just forgot about the willow bark for pain.) Now the swelling is going down and I am pain free. (15 min after taking the willow bark) I should of done the tincture last night. Here is the link on how I made the willow bark tincture and what it is used for. I have willow trees so I got the bark from them, but you can buy it from http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/
