Ayurvedic Treatment for Dental Problems for Sensitive Gums and Tooth Pain - #1214

Anonymously

I’ve been experiencing tooth sensitivity and gum pain for months now. Every time I drink something cold or eat anything spicy, I get sharp pain along my gums and teeth. My dentist says I have receding gums and suggested a deep cleaning procedure, but I’m worried it might make the sensitivity worse. I’ve read that Ayurveda offers natural remedies for dental issues and focuses on strengthening the gums and teeth without harsh treatments. Has anyone tried Ayurvedic treatment for dental problems like sensitivity, gum recession, or chronic toothache? I’ve heard about using Triphala and oil pulling with sesame oil, but I’m not sure how effective these are. Also, should I be avoiding certain foods according to Ayurvedic principles? I’d appreciate any advice or specific remedies that have worked for others with similar issues.

To address your tooth sensitivity and gum pain, Ayurveda offers several natural remedies that can help strengthen the gums and reduce discomfort. Oil pulling with sesame oil is a highly recommended practice in Ayurveda, as it helps detoxify the mouth, reduce plaque buildup, and improve gum health. Triphala, a blend of three fruits, is another effective remedy that has antibacterial properties and can be used as a mouthwash to promote oral hygiene and alleviate gum irritation. Additionally, applying a paste made from turmeric and neem powder to the gums can reduce inflammation and support gum regeneration. Clove oil, with its natural analgesic properties, can be applied directly to the affected area to ease tooth sensitivity. Ayurveda also suggests a balanced diet, avoiding acidic or spicy foods that may aggravate sensitivity, while incorporating alkaline-rich foods like leafy greens to support overall oral health. These remedies can be used in conjunction with professional dental care, and it’s important to consult your dentist to discuss the best course of action while exploring Ayurvedic treatments for long-term
