pays for great vacation
After the dentist told me I needed another root canal, I remembered a Dr. Christopher lecture about white oak bark and wondered if it would help my bad tooth. I began using DC tooth powder along with flossing after every meal and before bed. The pain and swelling disappeared. The next time I went to the dentist, they couldn't find the problem on the x-ray. Also, I had a couple places with swollen and receding gums; this has cleared up as well. At first it was strange, but I quickly got used to it. Now I can't stand regular tooth paste. It didn't stain my teeth at all. Maybe it was the 1 t. cinnamon I stirred into the jar to disguise the taste; cinnamon is used in India to whiten teeth. Initially, I found it left herb particles between my teeth, so I learned to rinse better after brushing. This is likely another reason for my good results. Finally, like other reviewers, the hygienist finds nothing to do in my mouth anymore nor does the dentist. I'll likely stay out of the dentist office and keep him out of my pocketbook. Then I can send myself on a great vacation instead of paying for his.
