Well I found this forum and started OP in early December. I had BAD pockets (I blame it on genes--mom with false teeth at age 16, dad with missing teeth and partial at an early age) I also never saw a dentist until I was out on my own at age 22. Soooo started OP with sunflower and switched up between it and Coconut at the suggestion of Molly Bloom (thanks Molly for info on switching it up)...
Yesterday I had my cleaning...my pockets that were 6's down to 3's. My 5's down to 2's!!!! My whole mouth was 2's and 3's and only 1...4 :-) My hygenist was freaked. She kept repoking me with that probe to ensure she was getting the correct reading. She said I even had some gum tissue that was recessed, is not anymore. My mouth is nice and pink and looks healthy and teeth are white... She wanted me to see the dentist because she was amazed by my turn around but she was very busy so asked me to return the next day which was today. THe dentist re-poked me and got the same measurements for my pockets. SHe was pleased...They put me on a 4 month recall and I am going to start OP twice a day now to see it I can nick that 4 in the bud... I have done it faithfully since I started and not missed a day. I sometimes would add a drop or two of either tea tree oil or Oregano Oil...This forum is awesome and kudos to whomever started it to share the info....I feel positive about my teeth changes and OP...Neither or them had ever heard of OP. My dentist was quite inquisitive about it and wants to research it a bit...she believes in alternative health methods and didnt talk it down...so thats a good thing...otherwise, I think I would have gotten a little defensive with her and never returned...
Now, I only hope my Gallstones respond to a Liver Flush as well as my teeth did to OP
