Wait at least three months before starting chelation. I suggest that you do a parasite cleanse before you start chelation. Are you taking oregano oil? If not then you should consider taking it. Did your dentist tell you to rinse your mouth with warm salt water a few times a day? It helps sooth the gums and disinfect your mouth. Chamomile tea and peppermint tea are very soothing when gums are inflamed. They are also antifungals. I may get some peppermint oil and ginger oil as well. Essential oils are very powerful but must be used very carefully as they are very strong and may be toxic if overused.
