HELLO EKTA,

WHAT’S GOING ON INSIDE?

1) CAVITIES(dental caries) -they are tiny holes in your teeth caused by bacteria -bacteria feed on sugars and produce acid-> acid dissolves tooth enamel-> cavities form -if untreated, the decay can reach the inner pulp(nerve) -> pain, infection->root canal or extraction may be needed.

2) SENSITIVITY -can be due to exposed dentin, old filling leakage, or nerve inflammation -if the pulp(nerve) mildly inflamed but not infected, it may still respond to healing.

In Ayurveda, dental diseases come under -Danta roga(tooth diseases) and dantamoola roga(gum root diseases) -usually caused by kapha-vata imbalance, accumulation of Ama(toxins), and weak rasa dhatu(body fluids/nutrition)

MAIN PATHOLOGY -poor digestion-> ama accumulation->settles in mouth/gums-> bacteria thrive->dental decay -vata imbalance-> dryness, pain, sensitivity -kapha imbalance-> mucus, plaque, swelling -rasa dhatu deficiency-> weak immunity, poor remineralisation

TREATMENT GOALS -Stop decay=oral hygiene, herbal powders, dietary detox -heal sensitivity= oil pulling, nerve calming medications -avoid root canal= prevent pulp infection with internal support -rebuild immunity= rasayana herbs, better nutrition

INTERNAL TREATMENT

2)CLOVE OIL= apply 1 drop on cotton to painful/sensitive tooth twice daily =pain relief. anti bacteria

YOGA ASANAS -Mandukasana= good for liver -Paschimottanasana= detox, improves digestion -Bhujangasana= improves blood flow to oral region -Ustrasana= enhances prana flow to head/neck

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= Balances Vata, improves nerve healing -Bhramari= relieves head, jaw tension -Kapalbhati= improves liver function, reduces ama(toxin) Practice yoga early morning on an empty stomach or 2-3 hours after food

HOME REMEDIES

Hello ekta ji, 1.Oil Pulling (Gandusha/Kavala): Swish 1 tablespoon of sesame or coconut oil for 10-15 minutes daily to remove toxins.

For your mother, 2.(1)+DASHMOOL KASHAYAM… Visit nearby dentist for further advice and treatment. TAKE CARE 😊

Look for pastes or powders which contain Neem,clove and Triphala,Babool,khadir etc.

You Should Visit Nearby Ayurveda Doctor

Use lavang vati- 1 tab to be taken twice daily And avoid sweets fried food Avoid cleaning frequently Gargle your mouth after having food

For addressing cavities and dental issues through Ayurvedic means, several practical suggestions can be implemented. Begin by using a paste made from a blend of herbal powders such as neem (Azadirachta indica), babool (Acacia nilotica), and triphala (a combination of Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki). These ingredients support oral health and act against bacteria that cause decay. You can mix the powdered herbs with a little bit of water to form a paste and gently brush your teeth with it every morning.

Furthermore, oil pulling is a beneficial practice you can consider. Use sesame or coconut oil and swish around a tablespoon of it in your mouth on an empty stomach for about 10–15 minutes, then spit it out. This helps draw out toxins and reduce plaque formation.

Regarding your husband’s quick plaque buildup, diet can play a significant role. Encourage the intake of more fibrous fruits like apples and raw vegetables, which naturally clean teeth. Chewing sugar-free gum or cardamom can also assist in increasing saliva production, which is important for neutralizing the acid in the mouth.

As for your mother’s issue with tooth sensitivity, it’s essential to look into strengthening her gums and teeth. Rinsing her mouth with lukewarm water mixed with a pinch of salt can aid in soothing sensitivity. Additionally, a gentle massage of her gums using a drop or two of clove oil may alleviate the pain as clove oil contains eugenol, known for its numbing and antibacterial properties.

Consider consulting a dentist if any discomfort persists to confirm there’s no immediate need for professional treatment. It’s important to complement these remedies with regular professional dental care to ensure optimal oral health for your family.

For cavities and black deposits, your concern might relate to an imbalance of Pitta dosha, which often needs attention in maintaining good oral health. In Siddha-Ayurveda, dental health is about keeping agni (your body’s digestive fire) balanced and ensuring healthy flow through nadis (your body’s energy channels). An Ayurvedic toothpaste could help maintain oral hygiene and strength for teeth. Look for ones that include ingredients like neem, clove, babul (Acacia Arabica), and licorice, all known for their antibacterial and astringent properties. Brush your teeth with it twice daily, and ensure you rinse your mouth thoroughly after meals to remove any remaining particles.

To address the black deposits accumulating so quickly, oil pulling—known as “gandusha” in Ayurveda—can prove beneficial. You may use sesame or coconut oil for this. In the morning, before breakfast and on an empty stomach, swish one tablespoon of oil around your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes, then spit it out and rinse with warm water. Practice this regularly for improved oral hygiene.

For your mother, her sensitive teeth could be a sign of Vata dosha imbalance, particularly affecting her dhatus (tissues). She can gently massage her gums and teeth with a mixture of mustard oil and turmeric to fortify them. Another useful practice is the use of triphala mixed with warm water as a mouthwash, twice daily, which can help to tighten gums and provide a protective layer for teeth.

These suggestions should provide support, but also remember that dental issues can sometimes require more intensive care. Regular check-ups with a dentist remain essential for both you and your family to prevent any serious conditions.
