Doctors’ responses
The issues you are facing with your teeth, such as the formation and increase of gaps, along with mobility and sensitivity, are often related to an imbalance in the body’s internal systems, specifically the Pitta dosha, which governs metabolism and the tissues, including bone and teeth health. The teeth mobility and gum issues might indicate weakened bone tissue (Dhatu) and a possible accumulation of Ama (toxins) in the body. In Ayurveda, oral health is often connected to overall digestive health, so improper digestion or an aggravated Pitta dosha can lead to inflammatory conditions in the gums and bone loss over time. The concern about tartar buildup is understandable, but when left untreated, the accumulation of toxins and imbalances in the body can worsen the condition.
To address these dental issues naturally, it’s important to focus on strengthening the bones and tissues, balancing Pitta, and promoting good digestion. You can start with a diet that includes calcium-rich and alkaline foods like sesame seeds, leafy greens, and dairy products (if tolerated). Drinking herbal teas with ingredients like Triphala and Licorice may help cleanse the gums and improve oral health. Gargling with warm saltwater or oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil daily can support gum health and reduce inflammation. Herbs such as Guduchi, Ashwagandha, and Shatavari are also beneficial for strengthening bones and supporting the immune system. For the teeth mobility, gentle massage of the gums with a soft brush and using herbal toothpaste containing Neem or Clove can help keep the gums strong and prevent further damage. Additionally, managing stress and maintaining a balanced lifestyle, along with proper hydration, will help in supporting overall health. However, given your allergy to drugs, it’s essential to avoid any medications that might trigger a reaction and to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide tailored guidance based on your specific health profile.
It sounds like you’ve been grappling with dental challenges for a while now. Gaps, mobility, tartar—these can all be a bit overwhelming, but don’t worry, let’s try to make sense of it from an Ayurvedic perspective.
Firstly, the mobility in your teeth might be indicating weakened asthi dhatu (bone tissue), which is reflected in your gums and teeth. You must be noticing the tartar buildup too. The hesitance of doctors cleaning it—well, they’re worried about the structural weakness leading to tooth loss, which makes sense. So let’s talk about strengthening that foundation.
Your diet is crucial here. Opt for calcium-rich foods like sesame seeds (til) and amla, great for nourishing bone tissue. A teaspoon of sesame seeds chewed in the morning on an empty stomach really boost asthi dhatu. It’s simple, effective, and you can do it anywhere.
Oil pulling could be another gem to try. Swish around a tablespoon of sesame oil or coconut oil in your mouth for about 10-15 minutes every morning. It not only reduces bacteria but is very soothing to the gum tissues.
Chewing a neem twig, if available, can help too. The bitter astringent taste of neem helps reduce any gum inflammation and prevents tartar buildup.
Let’s not forget the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene. A tongue scraper could be beneficial for you—make sure it’s part of your daily routine. It helps in removing toxins from the mouth that can affect your teeth and gums.
I know it sounds like a lot, but making small changes day by day can really add up. Don’t hesitate to seek dental advice when it comes to the flap surgery though; you want to be sure any treatment aligns with strengthening your teeth, not compromising them.
Stay attentive to any sudden pain or shifts in your dental health, just to be safe. And remember, address not just the symptoms, but strengthen from within.
