2) Swish your mouth 3 times a day with pure water and sea salt. (Not table salt.) This Person was able to remineralize and grow back enamel where cavities used to be.

I find salty rinse very helpful, especially for gums. Another variant I use is combining the salty moutwash with 1-2 gram Vitamin C (from an opened capsule of ascorbic acid), neutralized with a half teaspoon of baking soda (so the whole solution is strongly alkaline). Any toothache or gum infection goes away after several such rinses in an afternoon and evening, right before bed.

3) NEVER use toothpaste. They all have glycerin in them, which forms a coat on the teeth, and therefore the cells in the teeth cannot do their job.

I avoid toothpastes, too. Regular Ivory soap, which takes of bit getting used to the taste, works better for me. I do add a tiny bit of herbal Weleda children tootphaste in the first morning brushing (it has a nice flavor & smell, and it is very gentle and inoffensive).

4) Buy aloe vera gel and brush with that. The aloe vera plant has amazing medicinal properties and antiseptic properties. (Make sure you angle your toothbrush 45 degrees to get up between the gums.)

I am still experimenting with aloe. After my amalgams were removed on one side last fall, I had a hard bump on a cheek (which was there for some time), where the amalgam was previously touching the skin. After experimenting with various herbs and folk remedies (including home-made chlorella rinse, which didn't do much good), I found that chewing plain aloe leaf (the slimy gel from inside the leaf, while the outer layer, which is very, very bitter, was pealed off using scalpel) solved the problem within couple days. The cheek bump was gone and gums surely felt very happy with the slimy and slightly bitter gel. The procedure I used is somewhat labor intensive and too messy for routine use (and I have only one potted aloe plant presently), but I plan to refine and streamline it this spring when I add more aloe pots, since it seems very pleasant and beneficial for the gums and cheeks.
