Hey all,
My father appears to have contracted pyorrhea. The gums look pale and receding. He’s tried a week of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquin for a brush with a different illness (got over that fast) but his gums and jaw still hurt. Unfortunately he eats sugar like an ant and like many on said drug it’s very hard to get off.
Anyone know best treatment for Pyorrhea? He’s going to see his dentist but for a variety of reasons can’t until next week.
Prayers welcome and encouraged.
IF in pain, use clove oil on the tooth, and take aspirin or ibuprofen. GO TO THE DENTIST ASAP and get a deep clean.
But really, stopping sugar and refined carbs is fundamental. Replace with meat, fat and salt as much as possible. Cutting all carbs will bring the inflammation down in about two days, the blood sugar had to drop - it's not about clean teeth only - also use the yellow listerine mouth-wash (multiple ingredients that combat germs) four times a day. So, in the morning, after meals and before bed. A Hyrdogen Peroxide session can help with pain too, but use a baking-soda toothpaste right after, because it is acidic, and can make holes in one's teeth if one leaves it there.
I know cutting carbs is hard, so the trick is to add small snacks of bacon-bits, pork-rinds or even a table-spoon of butter amongst other carniverous snacks. Also bone-broth (Boil whole chicken - add salt and maybe oregano & some dill; or turmeric, butter & black pepper & garlic ) is excellent for toothache - no chewing and very satisfactory. If in dire pain, - drink the broth and maybe suck on some meat
My MIL stopped eating all-together when she had a toothache, but I don't think that's correct. The pain gets worse when one is starving.
Also, in my travels, I found that blue cheese is very good. I believe it is the penicillin in the blue stuff. And yes, the point is to savor it. However, one will not find any proof of the effectiveness in the literature, because the academics say that that particular penicillin is so ubiquitous that the bugs 'out there' are immune to it. However, I found that adding blue cheese to the mix of remedies seems to work for me. So there's that.
