David Wolfe's Healthy Teeth and Gum Protocol WITHOUT Toothbrush

• Cayenne, Capsicum frutescens: A super-critical extract with catalytic, antibacterial, antiseptic, and stimulating properties. The capsaicin compound in cayenne is also a topical vasodilator which stimulates blood circulation.
• Cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum: An essential oil that stimulates and tones the digestive tract and has antiseptic properties that stimulate the phagocytic cellular action of the immune system. It is also supportive of the nervous system and helps supplement healthy oral care with its anti-infectious, antibacterial actions.
• Cinnamon, Cinnamomum ceylanicum: This true cinnamon bark essential oil from Madagascar is antiseptic and antibacterial. It stimulates blood circulation to the gums and promotes their health and regeneration. Cinnamon is high in the compounds eugenol and cineol, both of which have potent anesthetic and antiseptic properties that increase the production of white blood cells. According to the work of Dr. Franchomme and Dr. Pènoel, cinnamon bark oil is effective against 98% of all pathogenic bacteria.
• Clove Bud, Eugenia carophyllata: An analgesic essential oil from the flowering buds of the clove tree with an extremely high ORAC. Clove has relieved toothaches and freshened breath since ancient times. A potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal, clove boosts the immune system and stimulates blood flow with its botanical constituents of eugenol, esters, and sesquiterpenes, all of which combine to create an essence with an impressive action against pathogens and microbes. It is antiparasitic and has been known to helps gum infections, toothaches and tonsillitis.
• Mastic, Pistacia lentiscus: A type of resin similar to frankincense which comes from the inner sap of the mastic tree and is helpful for maintaining the connective tissue in the oral area. It has a long history of oral care use in ancient Greece and is very good in helping to remove tooth plaque.  Mastic contains antioxidants, antifungal, and antibacterial benefits. This resin extract is a potent antiseptic, which inhibits oral bacteria including Helicobacter pylori that creates stomach ulcers. Mastic oil helps to harness the activity of the blood's first-line-of-defense protection: the leukocytes (white blood cells) and the multinucleocytes. This helps to increase the tissue’s defense, especially between the teeth and gums, where gingivitis and plaque occur.
• Neem, Azadiracta indica: Neem has pain-relieving compounds that can reduce the discomfort of a toothache. The vasodilatation and anti-inflammatory compounds in Neem prevent cell adhesion and kill the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Neem alkalizes the gums and mouth, and kills the bacteria that cause Pyorrhea and Gingivitis. Neem obliterates the calcium-forming organisms and the organisms that cause cavities. Neem has been used in Ayurvedic traditions for thousands of years in agriculture, food storage, and medicine. Many research studies have prove that Neem is fungicidal, miticidal, and antibacterial. Neem oil is an ideal remedy to eliminate periodontal and tooth infection. It can be applied locally around the teeth and gums and also benefits the gastrointestinal tract.

*One drop can be added to salt-water for an excellent mouthwash

*One drop added to a dry tooth brush (good-bye toothpaste)

*One drop added to a dry toothbrush and then dipped in (aluminum-free) baking soda, or salt

*One drop can be massaged into gums, especially areas where the pockets are low and the dentin is exposed

*One drop to proxa-brushes, sulca-brushes and rubber-tip stimulators

*One drop on tongue-scrappers

*One drop on tongue through the day for fresh breath

*One drop gargled in water for sore throats

*One drop on cankers sores; herpes lesions

*Apply one drop several times a day to any oral wound, laceration, incision to ease pain, reduce inflammation, keep the incision clean and generate new cells

*One drop to your string of floss

 

The short answer is yes, in the “drop” quantity in which they are used. Essential oils are potent and it is often advised they not be taken internally in any quantity. This is true if the oils are not a genuine authentic distillation. However, when pure distillations of essential oils are taken in small quantities (i.e. by the drop), most are fine (and often beneficial) for internal use. Essential oils are lipid soluble and, because they have a small molecular size, are able to penetrate the dermal layer of the skin, positively affecting the body through the lymphatic vessels, capillaries, cells, and nerve endings located there.

There's still a common misconception that the stomach is the cause of bad breath. This idea is not at all supported by research or current thinking in dental circles. According to the latest scientific research on halitosis (bad breath), the majority of bad breath is caused by bacteria in the mouth. 

In an article published in the Journal of the American Dental Association (April 1996), Dr. Mel Rosenberg cites six research references wihich conclude that "in 85% of people with bad breath the bad odor originates in the mouth." He further says that "gentle but effective deep tongue cleaning should become a part of the daily hygiene routine".

On the investigative news program '20/20', ABC News Medical Editor, Dr. Timothy Johnson, explained that most bad breath is produced by a type of bacteria in the back of the mouth, particularly on the back of the tongue. Bad breath from the stomach is so rare that of a thousand people treated for bad breath by a leading halitosis researcher, not a single case was caused by gastrointestinal problems.

The History Of Tongue Cleaning
Tongue cleaning is common practice in many Asian and older cultures. It was also practiced by ancient Romans and by the wealthier classes in 18th and 19th century Europe. For unknown reasons, the practice did not spread widely in the West until just recently. With more and more research verifying it's benefits, a growing number of dentists and hygienists are now recommending it. 

There are two basic kinds of tongue cleaners available: U-shaped cleaners (generally used with two hands) and T-shaped cleaners (used with one hand). The U-shaped design is best as it can easily clean the back of the tongue, where most bacteria reside. Using two hands gives precise control over the pressure and position of the cleaner. This seemingly simple design has evolved over centuries and gives precise control over the position and pressure of the cleaner on the tongue, making it easy to use. This overcomes the gagging problem caused by too much pressure on the tongue (as when trying to clean it with a toothbrush or some other one handed cleaners). 

Of the U-shaped designs, there is the pre-formed stainless steel cleaner like Dr. Tung's or the flexible plastic strip cleaner which you bow into a U-shape when using. Dr. Tung's Tongue Cleaner is made with stainless steel because stainless steel is hygienic, never wears out, and is impervious to bacteria. The curved cleaning edge removes bacteria and soft plaque in seconds! With plastic cleaners, you have to continually replace them and they are not as comfortable to use. They also do not give as much control as the rigid metal version.

Dr. Tung's Tongue Cleaner Features: 

• Longlasting stainless steel
• Precurved shape allows precise control
• Gently and effectively removes bacteria
• Great oral benefits for a small price
• Easy to use
• Used and recommended by dentists and hygienists

Q:  What Is The Best Way To Clean My Tongue?
A:  Some dentists still recommend brushing with a toothbrush, but most agree that a tongue cleaner is a far better tool. Toothbrushes are designed for cleaning teeth. Tongue cleaners are designed to clean tongues, which are very different from teeth! A tongue cleaner such as Dr. Tung's U-shaped cleaner is designed to gently 'scrape' off the unwanted bacteria and soft plaque, even from the back of the tongue where most is found. Indications are that tongue scraping removes far more bacteria than tongue brushing. Toothbrushes tend to 'grip' the tongue causing gagging, while the tongue cleaner slides along the tongue. So it's more comfortable and more efficient..

Q:  How Often Should I Clean My Tongue?
A:  Twice a day is usually sufficient. Most people do it upon waking and before going to bed, which helps prevent morning breath. Some people also like to clean their tongue after each meal. It only takes 10 or 15 seconds each time.

Q:  Who Should Use A Tongue Cleaner?
A:  Everyone, including children! It makes good oral hygiene sense. Not only modern research, but also ancient oriental health sciences recommend it as part as the daily routine.

Q:  How Soon Can I Expect Results?
A:  It depends on the individual condition, but the results can be instant. Certainly much of the coating gets removed immediately. It's like washing your body. A clean body or a clean tongue, doesn't smell bad.
