A friend suggested that I use water with some Tea Tree Oil in it instead of Listerine or the like for a mouthwash. She said to put 4 or 5 drops in a liter of water and I put in 6. I can certainly taste it. Haven't used it long enough to say whether it works or not.
You’re welcome — I hope you find something that helps.
I have one friend who uses the real stuff for brushing/mouthwash, then the fake ones she concocted for breath mints/drops.... I’ve seen various recipes online too.
There are just so many different, hundreds of variations of those oils, as long as I have a job, I’m sticking with the regular stuff. Don’t want my teeth regressing.... Oh, and I’ve already cut down from having to go 3-4x a year for cleanings to just the 2, so that alone saves money.
I was having some crown work done a couple of weeks ago (old mercury fillings had to be replaced), and they would not stop ranting about my gums and healthy mouth and how, if I keep it up, I won’t have to see them much anymore. And this is one of the top 10 dentists in Tucson that I go to. And the other 9 people are scattered all around and don’t see the same dentist.
I always have Tea Tree Oil around too, for various things, good stuff too!
