Tooth Saved Again!

I am still in disbelief how just a week ago, I was in so much horror, pain and disbelief when faced with my dentist's verdict to pull my molar tooth out. I have been happily chewing with my tooth for a few days now - no pain. Maybe, a little fearful thoughts, but I have nothing to worry about.

I kept my notes during this last week on how I felt and what I did to save my tooth.

Here are my notes.

I have shared before how I saved my tooth root canal (maybe, 3 times by now). Every time I am faced with this challenge, I think through and do it differently.

This time was similar in some ways and different in others, as I have learned new concepts and had my past experience.

I feel it was my decision from the start to keep my tooth, even though I was in a lot of pain and got a diagnosis from the dentist that my tooth's nerve was dying and he would pull my tooth (he does not believe in doing root canals).

My tooth, or I thought my gums, were hurting for two days, but not so strong, and rubbing fennel essential oil seemed helping. Then, all of a sudden, the pain became excruciating - it felt like a nerve pain. It has happened to me in the past that a filling was pressing on a nerve, causing a lot of pain. Even though, this is my mouth, I was not sure if this tooth had any work done on it, so my husband drove me to see my dentist.

The trip took about 1 hour and 30 minutes because of the traffic and us stopping off to get gas in case we get stuck in traffic. When we finally got to the dentist, he said that this tooth had no crown and that the nerve was dying. He was ready to pull my tooth! No Way! I was not ready for this bloody surgery, nor was I ready to part with my tooth! It is my bottom tooth, 3rd from the cheek. People put implants, make bridges - that's also traumatic and destroying other teeth, putting artificial materials in your mouth. I thought about that. Even though I was in a lot of pain, I was not ready to part with my tooth without a battle. I remember, years ago, a dentist was pulling my tooth - he couldn't do it, as I mentally was not letting go. It was taking him close to an hour - many injections, he was sweating, I felt pain... Finally, I decided, it was time to let my tooth go - and at that moment, he yanked my tooth out! He confessed afterwards that he was ready to give up and maybe, send me to someone else :) That's the power of our mind / soul!

It was a weekend - Friday night when I saw my dentist. If I could not help myself, I would have to suffer from pain until Monday. Yet, I decided to give it a shot! On the way to the dentist, I was snoozing from the valerian essential oil I ingested. I also rubbed Deep Relief on, and that kept me pain-free. Pressing on a few acupressure points was helping as well - one above that cheek and another one on my neck on that meridian. My husband felt we drove in traffic for nothing. I felt otherwise - I knew what I was dealing with now.

Later on that day, I analyzed how I got a toothache. What preceded it was my stomach tightening after an emotional discussion with my husband. I couldn't eat much for a few days - my stomach always reacts first. This time, it was my stomach and my mouth. This was a good lesson for me going forward. I decided next time to stay calm and loving, instead of emotional. And the opportunity presented itself soon :)

I also thought - when we get a nerve pain in an eye, no-one rushes to remove the eye. Why should I rush to get rid of my tooth?

Below is a day-by-day summary of what I did to restore my tooth.

When I got home, I made a blend of a few essential oils in the Ortho Ease massage oil - Purification, Sacred Frankincense, helichrysum, valerian and Freedom. I dropped it into my mouth and voila! - I felt an instant relief!

I did use helichrisym by itself, PanAway with Wintergreen mixed with OrthoEase before I saw the dentist. I also used DiGize. This time, I focused on what I needed to support my nerve and tissues. I dripped my blend in my mouth and held it in the location for while, getting some of my saliva, then swallowed it. I used my blend as needed - a few times a day, guided by the pain. I have been sucking out in my problem spot to support evacuation of dead tissues and toxins.

I ate lightly the day before - just blueberries and a mango. On Saturday, as I was starting to feel better, I got my appetite back, though I was still careful to conserve my energy on healing. I had a fresh salad with blueberries - chewing and moving is important for circulation. I also had a rose petal and a few fresh leaves of sassafras, ginkgo and spicebush - got my fresh minerals and essential oils :) My husband and I also went for a nice hike in the mountains - I brought my blend with me, just in case.

The hiking was great as always, especially putting fresh running from the mountains water in my hair and all over my arms, neck and my face. So refreshing!

Swelling.

I got it as we returned from the dentist. Maybe, because I was thinking about it, maybe because it was a natural process of my body, maybe both. I did not tell my family about it, as I didn't need them getting scared, nor did I need their negative energy. Instead, hearing my husband's encouragement about sharing my healing story with others felt helpful. Biting on the tooth felt almost pain-free at that point. However, later on on Saturday, I decided to add a drop of Thieves, to make sure the swelling goes away. I understand that the body brings resources to heal and also isolates toxins, and most likely, it would do a good job if I let it. The last part I was unsure of :) The swelling was slowly going down.

In the past, I have used essential oils much more, and even not diluting as much. However, I feel that I may have caused an unneeded irritation, so I was cautious this time. Better go slower.

By the way, that molar has 2 nerves - another reason not to rush pulling the tooth out :) According to Oriental Medicine, the tooth corresponds to my arteries. Meaning, I may have imbalance in my arteries.

I forgot to mention that Saturday morning, upon awakening, I used my fresh urine, holding it on the location in my mouth. I also drank some of it. I used urine therapy in the past, before I discovered essential oils. It was the best thing for my twisted stomach, as it took the pain away instantaneously. I was only drinking that time, and my urine was clear, and even tasted like a chicken soup at times :) It was very clear this time too, as I have not eaten much for days, and besides, I have been a raw vegetarian by now for 20 years.

I also made a calming blend of teas in the morning - lemon balm and Slique Tea which has vanilla.

Saturday evening, I had a nice portion of blueberries with raw cream. When I went to bed, I thought that the next morning I would have no swelling. I believed and knew it. And so my body complied :) I did use the blend one more time at night.

By the way, resting my cheek on my dog and my son's cat felt so comforting and painless. Not to forget my hands - I lightly massaged my cheek and simply held my hand on it. Warm sun's energy felt very pleasant on my cheek.

Now, it's Sunday. If I need to, I may use helichrysum alone, or maybe I'll blend valerian with helichrysum and AromaLife in OrthoEase. So far, I had some raw kefir mixed with a table spoon of MindWise around 4 am, and then some of the tea from yesterday. I did have some of my urine about 4 hours later - very soothing on my gums.

Every day, I drink NingXia Nitro, which I love. This morning, I mixed it with fresh lemon juice and sea buckthorn oil, adding a few drops of Sacred Frankincense, ginger and lemon myrtle essential oils.

Taking a walk with my dog this morning, I held my saliva on my tooth to soothe the gums.

I went outside to cut my bushes, dressed in a wool sweater. It was warm and sunny and I naturally sweated, which I enjoyed. So good for my lymph and my skin!

It is almost 12 noon now, Sunday. I just chewed blueberries on both sides of my mouth! Not 100% yet, but close :)

Monday

I decided to take care of my tooth for a few more days, to make sure it is ok. Definitely not eating on that side for a few days ( I made that mistake on Sunday. The gums are still sore in that area). I made myself a delicious semi-drink as a snack - coconut, carob and raspberries in hibiscus and Slique Tea. So delicious and good!

I made the same blend as before, with Wintergreen (to penetrate deeper), adding Copaiba (to have more effectiveness), and Peppermint. No Thieves. Plus I added sea buckthorn oil to soothe the gums. There is no swelling, but the gums are still sore.

Tuesday

Last night, all of a sudden, the emotional rollercoaster I have been on for the past few days hit me hard. It did not help that my husband focused on how horrible I looked when I was in pain. He often reflects on how we are getting older, though I push him to enjoy life. And it's a pleasure to see him being himself - humorous, active and physically fit. To feel better, I put a dress I used to wear many years ago - elegant and slimming. I still look good in it! The next morning, I went to observe the everlasting glorious nature, thought how we all go through hard times - that's just part of our life! What does not break you, makes you stronger, I remembered.

Se la vie :)

I did my usual handstand, took my son's cat Cheddar out - I love him so much! I will continue composing and living my life's music to the fullest, sharing the best with the world! And now I'm even laughing at my reaction to negativity. As my good friend Cheryl says - you can't control what people say or do. My father used to tell me to be bigger than others, and be there for people. I was way too young to comprehend it then :) Now I do - being there for others may be hard on me sometimes, as I am taking on some of the weight they carry. Yet, I would not abandon my friends...

Wednesday

Tiny discomfort in the gum - I was too lazy to put some essential oils on it last night. I made a different blend this morning - added AromaLife, Valor (can't get too much now :) ) , Sacred Frankincense, Peppermint.

What have I learnt - not to eat ice-cold stuff, and to wait for the fruit to get digested before eating nuts.

I hope others will find my post helpful.

It is not meant to be instructional as every person / situation may be different.

With love,

Always,

P.S. According to Louise Hay, teeth problems may be related to making a decision. I am proud to say that I heard my husband's side, and I also made him and my son more understanding and hopefully, loving of nature, particularly carpenter bees and ants. I feel that we live on their territory and need to love and respect them. I take my son's cat outside for as long as he wants to, adjusting my schedule to meet his needs.
