Gums, Mouth Sores, Teeth, Throat, and Tongue
Bleeding Gums
For bleeding gums, take 20mg. of zinc and 500mg. of vitamin C daily.
Eat a diet of natural foods and lots of vitamin C to help fight the deterioration of bones and infections of the gums, etc.
Canker Sores
Eat yogurt
To dry up and heal canker sores, hold a wet tea bag in your mouth over the canker sore; adjusting the bag from time to time for comfort, but keep it over the sore for at least 10 minutes. Dandelion tea may also heal cankers and prevent their return.
For early treatment of canker sores, punch a hold in a vitamin E capsule and squeeze the gel directly on the ulcers as soon as they appear. This can be repeated from time to time until the sores are healed. A good gargle can work wonders too.
Cold Sores
