I wanted to share this information with you because this past September one of the reasons, other than being exhausted from a too busy August, that I was unable to attend the Young Living '06 Convention was because of a toothache I got 2 days before the event.
I knew that others had used Young Living essential oils for toothache, so I went to my computer files and dug them up. This tooth that was hurting was a tooth I had a root canal in some 8+ years ago. After reading what others had done, I got out my bottle of Thieves and Helichrysum essential oils and would put a couple drops on a Q-Tip and rubbed all sides of the tooth, I layered the oils. I knew teeth have all these little tubes in which nutrients and so forth flowed through and that teeth are porous, I thought if I could work the essential oils into the tooth sides as much as possible that it would help the beneficial properties of the oils get "inside" the tooth. I did this several times a day. I also rinsed my mouth with the Young Living Fresh Essence/Thieves Mouthwash before applying the essential oils.
Even though it still hurt and the side of my face was swollen due to the infected tooth, I was able to sleep just fine. I couldn't really talk much or normal, or eat/chew, but I was able to get sleep which I think says a lot.
I also found that I had the best results when I applied the essential oils every 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours that it made a big difference and alleviated a good bit of the pain. I tried not to get too much oil down the inside of my mouth because I knew the skin there is quite delicate and because I'd be doing many applications a day I certainly didn't want to risk irritating the skin. I did rub the Q-Tip at the tooth & gum area thinking that it would help the oils to get down deeper as I knew the infection was also spreading into my jaw. I also applied Helichrysum on my face focusing around the jaw and neck area.
After using the mouthwash and essential oils about 4 days later I was almost pain-free and able to chew soft foods slowly. By the 5th day, the pain was 100% gone, swelling gone, and I could chew anything I wanted to eat. No trip to the dentist either!
What I just discovered today (below) at Dr. Mercola's website in this interview is the reason "why" I got the toothache in the first place - and - "why" the Thieves and Helichrysum worked. Be sure to read the interview clear to the end because I think there is a lot of information about oral care that we have never been fully aware of, I know I am walking away form all of this with a completely different take on the how's and why's.
What I am going to be doing in the future as a preventative is this: at least once a week applying Young Living's Thieves essential oil using a Q-Tip to that root canal tooth and neighboring teeth, and be certain to use the Fresh Essence/Thieves Mouthwash at least twice a day. If I find the tooth is giving me health problems in the future I will have it taken out.
Hope this experience of mine and this interview can help others.
