I feel the same way and went 10 years without getting my teeth cleaned because of it. Last year my gums started bleeding. This year they started receding around my eye teeth. I couldn't find a dentist who would clean them without trying to give me a brain tumor. They have all their excuses and reasons. So I started taking Co-Q10 and hawthorne, beefed up on Iodine for a couple of months in hopes of having enough in my system to protect me, and got my teeth cleaned today. Everything looks exactly the same as it did 10 years go. They said my gums are in great shape. I've only had them cleaned 4 times in my life, counting today. And I am taking Boswellia Serrata, which has been proven to eliminate brain tumors in Germany.
