Thank you PM sfft77! I will try that!

I take a teaspoon per day and it has cleared excess mucus from my throat. I don't have to clear my throat continuously anymore. It is a miracle.

Oral probiotics would help you a lot IMO. They are small mint type sweets that you suck, releasing xylitol which is good for the teeth, spearmint, vanilla and 3 oral probiotics which compete with the oral bacteria, killing them and taking their place. Spearmint is known to be effective against oral biofilms ie dental plaque. The bacteria produce hydrogen peroxide which is meant to white the teeth and they also freshen the breath. Bad breath is usually caused by an unhealthy bacteria mix.

I think that there are probably a number of different companies that make them, the ones that I have are by Garden of Life called Probiotic Smile. There are 300 million cfu per mint which is not a lot.

Here is a tip. I made them into a yoghurt using a yoghurt maker and they came out quite well. Much cheaper making yoghurt than buying mints every month. I am still on the first pack. lol

Try the tea tree oil before you have the surgery. Cutting the blood vessels causes poor blood circulation which can lead to more problems. The tea tree oil tastes awful but the results are worth it. I have seen it tighten up loose teeth back in their sockets. Quadrant cleaning didn't help my gums at all it just cost me a lot of money. Vitamin c with bioflavonoids helps gum disorders and Co Q10 helps also. I believe the help you seek will be helped by alternative remedies. Many dentists shopped in my store. Nutritional deficiencis show in the mouth first.

Vitamin ‘C’ does not just ‘help' gum disease, it cures it.
