Hi Melissa
I use tooth and gum tonic by dental herb company. My dentist carries it as well as the toothpaste too. I have been using this for 6 years. Any time I have a little flare up with my gums I use it 4 or 5 times a day and really clears it up quick. The toothpaste has no foaming agent and takes a bit to get used to but once you do you will never go back. I have tried other toothpastes and the foam makes me gag now. Go figure!!! It has a nice fresh taste also. I have not had any cavities the whole time I have been using this rinse.
I also do the oil pulling ....just started 3 weeks ago and already seeing good effects on my gums and makes me feel so much better in the mornings. Mornings are really bad for me and oil pull helps me and gives me energy. Also my teeth are really pretty and shiny. I was hoping this would also cut back on my teeth cleanings...I have to go every 3 months and it always makes me sick for a few days. I don't know if it is because he is stirring up the bacteria or the light I am under or maybe he is removing some one else's fillings....whatever the cause I would rather go just twice a year!!!! Try the oil pulling it's great!!!! Here are some links to dental herb company and oil pulling,give it a look.

Take Care.
