Hello Girish, Firstly, you need to stop consuming sweets and sour foods. Secondly, you can perform Gandusha (oil pulling) using coconut oil to strengthen your teeth. After that, rinse your mouth with warm water and gargle. You will notice significant improvement by following this routine consistently.
Hello, Good to know that you are taking neccassary steps to avoid further decay. Along with that start doing oil pullinga in the morning with valiya arimedas thailam. Take care. Kind regards.
Apply irrimedadi oil over teeth twice a day and wash it with Luke warm water.
Tab. Amla 2-0-2 Hingwastic churan 1tsp with Luke warm water at bed time only in night
Avoid sugar intake As your doing oil pulling continue it but do with irimedadi taila after that do gargling with hot water added with saindhava lavana+ termeric

To address the rapid decay of your teeth, even after youâve cut down on sweets and sugar items, itâs important to consider some underlying Ayurvedic principles, also paying attention, to current dental practices. Since youâve had multiple root canals and re-root canals, letâs focus on prevention and maintenance.
Firstly, oil pulling is a fantastic practice. Keep doing it! It can help draw out toxins and strengthen the oral tissues. Ideally, use sesame or coconut oil for this each morning on an empty stomach, swishing for about 15-20 minutes.
Your existing dental hygiene routine seems solid, but you might consider using a soft brush to minimize enamel erosion, opt for a gentle, herbal toothpaste that doesnât have harsh chemicals. Ayurveda recommends certain herbs like neem and clove for their antibacterial properties. These could be in your toothpaste or used by themselves for a while.
Diet plays a huge role too â focus on calcium-rich foods like sesame seeds, leafy greens, and almonds. Vitamin D is equally important; ensure regular sun exposure or consider a supplement if necessary. Avoid excessively cold or hot foods as they might weaken the enamel even more.
Since oral health is linked to digestion in Ayurveda, make sure your digestive fire, Agni, is balanced. Avoid heavy, overly oily, or processed foods. Instead, focus on fresh, wholesome meals. A strong digestive system can significantly contribute to healthier gums and teeth.
Consider Gargling with warm water with a pinch of salt and turmeric afterward after meals, as it may help in dislodging food particles and keeping your mouth free of infection.
If youâre dealing with any vata dosha imbalances such as dry mouth or gums, which can also affect dental health, stay hydrated and include healthy fats in your diet, such as ghee, to keep the tissues nourished.
Lastly, donât skip your regular dental check-ups. While Ayurveda provides holistic support, modern dentistry is essential for immediate or ongoing dental health issues. Since youâve had several root canals, professional monitoring will help manage any potential issues promptly, preventing further dental decay down the line.
