success story!!! surprised my dentist !!!

Yesterday I saw my dentist (of 39 years!)for some minor dental work. I told him that I finally fixed a tooth infection myself that I have had for several years that he could not fix. It stubbornly persisted around one of my lower molars that has a crown. Rubbing tea tree oil into the area would heal it, but then it always returned some weeks later.Last year I had been leaning on my dentist quite heavily to get rid of the cause, because I suspected that recurring ear and sinus infections and more recently cataracts on the same side of my head were somehow connected to the issue around the tooth.
Anyhow, he inspected my mouth yesterday and and stated factually: "Your teeth are white and I know you don't use a whitener; the enamel is shiny. The gums are pink, not read, and the flesh is firm, not spongy. These are the healthiest gums I have seen all day. Whatever you are doing is working for you"! Then I proceeded to tell him about oil pulling, and that I have been doing it for only about 2 1/2 months with these results. He listened to me very politely, but then said that most people would not bother doing it. He is probably right, but somehow I wished that he had had a more positive attitude about it. But his assistant asked me very detailed questions about oil pulling, so all in all I felt very happy with the outcome, particularly about my dentist confirming what I already felt was happening in my mouth!
