After having dental work done in your mouth, it is especially important not to pick up an infection in the open wound. And not to have pain after the anesthetic wears off. The Dental Aftercare program achieves both goals.

The immune power of your arterial blood is much greater than in your veins. How can you bring arterial blood into the jaw area to heal it faster after dental work? Simply by hot-packing it from the start!

The first day of dental work is critical. If you miss this, a massive spread of infection can occur because the mouth is always a "den of bacteria", and the abscessed teeth are themselves the source. As soon as you get home from the dentist you need to bathe your mouth with hot water. The heat brings in arterial blood. Swish gently. Keep the cotton plug in place for you to bite down on and reduce bleeding, even while swishing. Don't suction the water around your mouth, you could dislodge the clot that needs to form in the socket. Gently move the hot water about your mouth. At the same time apply a hot pack to the outside of your face where the dental work was done. Wring a wash cloth out of the hottest water you can endure. Or fill a plastic baggie halfway with hot water, zipping it shut securely. Do this for 30 minutes four times a day, for a few days. Then three times a day for a week -- even when there is no pain. Don't suck liquids through a straw for 24 hours, the sucking force is especially risky, it could dislodge the healing clot. Don't allow your tongue to suck the wound site, either; and don't put fingers in your mouth.

If the bleeding doesn't stop after throwing away the cotton plug the dentist left you, make another one. Roll a tight wad of paper towel into a shape like your finger. Place it on top of the bleeding gum and bite down hard. A moderate amount of bleeding is normal, even days later.

Buy a water pick. It is impossible to keep tiny food fragments out of an extraction site or open cavity. Only a forceful stream of water gets food particles out. Use common sense in setting the force of the stream. Use hot water. After each meal and before going to bed water pick your whole mouth; have a friend check with a flashlight to see that all the wound sites are clean.

If you detect a bad odor from your mouth the day after your dental work, you already have an infection. Clean your mouth promptly with the water pick. If it persists another day, go back to the dentist; don't wait for the day designated to take the stitches out.

It is common for dentists to recommend cold packing to reduce swelling after dental work. I recommend hot packing because I consider swelling less important than infection or pain, especially if you are not on an antibiotic.

You should not need antibiotics during or after your dental work if your dentist carefully cleans the socket and rinses it by squirting diluted Lugol's or white iodine into it (unless you are allergic to iodine). And if you are carefully doing your Dental Aftercare.

This conclusion is based on over 500 cases of dental work, all free of antibiotics and infection. There are exceptions: heart disease and life threatening circumstances. In this case, you may need to get an antifungal along with the antibiotic right from the start. If you are on heart medication, you can not risk setting more bacteria free during your dental work without some antibiotic medication.

Besides Lugol's, another alternative antibiotic is colloidal silver. It can be used the day of your dental work and a few days afterward. Syncrometer testing shows it kills most pathogens immediately. Of course, it would not be expected to clean up sources such as abscesses or the intestine. You should make your own colloidal silver because commercial varieties I tested were polluted with the usual solvents that I find in most bottled products: isopropyl alcohol, wood alcohol and benzene.

To heal your jaw bone after dental work you need extra calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. Since supplements are highly processed, and therefore contain trace amounts of solvents and heavy metals, it is wiser to use the food nature intended for growing bones. Namely baby food. Mother Nature provides milk for this purpose. Goats' milk or cows' milk has the extra calcium (one gram per quart) you now need. But milk can not be consumed as it arrives from the grocery store. Many harmful bacteria ride along from the dairy barn, through the milk tanks and into your milk carton. Salmonellas and Shigellas are two very harmful bacteria always found in every milk sample I test. Clostridium and Rhizobium are other common types. Besides bacteria, one can find eggs of parasites, such as tapeworms and flukes in the milk. And since cheese, yogurt, ice cream and butter are made from milk, they too are contaminated, in spite of pasteurization. Of course, you could test your dairy products with a Syncrometer to try to find a good one.

But there is a simple way to correct this sanitation problem. Boil the milk with a pinch of salt. Ten seconds is long enough. This would be long enough to kill the Clostridium, Salmonella, Shigella and E. coli varieties I commonly see. The salt raises the boiling temperature just enough to also kill Rhizobium leguminosarum, too, which is extra hardy.

Milk also has traces of malonic acid, a strong metabolic inhibitor, and boiling does not detoxify it. It must be detoxified with a small amount of vitamin C powder, 1/8 tsp. per pint. This could curdle some milk, so an equal amount of baking soda may be added first. These treatments actually improve the flavor.

Persons with anemia should buy raw milk in order to obtain the factor, lactoferrin. Raw goat milk is best because it has some of the same factors as shark cartilage in addition to lactoferrin. It must still be boiled.

Canned salmon or other fish also have extra calcium you need to heal dental work. It is in the bones. There are numerous tiny bones, too small to see or taste throughout fish.

So, to upgrade your dental health, begin by increasing your calcium intake with milk and fish.

Get the extra magnesium you need from a supplement plus leafy green vegetables. Eat a green vegetable every day, during and after dental work. You may need to blend it in a blender until your own dentures or partials are ready.

There are two hazards with eating greens: pesticides and sprays used by the grocer that may contain petroleum based "fresheners". If you are not sure whether pesticides have been used (the produce is not "organic"), than only buy Swiss chard, cabbage, collards (large leafed greens) that can be easily washed. Eat them every day or make coleslaw or raw salad.

If you see spray nozzles in the produce section, then you must detoxify any benzene that may be present with ozone. Rinse your greens and put them in a plastic bag. Insert the air hose from your ozonator. After 20 minutes the benzene is changed to phenol. To get rid of the phenol, soak the greens for 5 minutes in a bowl of water that has a large pinch of baking soda added.

The extra vitamin D you need can be made by your own kidneys! The very dental work you are doing will help the kidneys make vitamin D. The kidney cleanse will also help. Commercial vitamin D supplements are too polluted to risk. The recipe in this book is safe.

Dental Aftercare Summary

• You now have the extra calcium, magnesium and vitamin D you need to heal your jaw bone.
• You are hot-packing and hot-swishing many times a day.
• You are very careful not to chew on the extraction sites or let food get into them. You are using a water pick after meals.
• You will return to the dentist to take out stitches on time, as your dental surgeon advises.
• If bleeding and pain do not stop by the third day, you will return to your doctor before your stitch-removal appointment day.
