Healthy Teeth and Gums with Schuessler Tissue Salts

Natural Homeopathic Minerals for Dental Health

Almost everyone agrees that strong teeth and a bright smile are attractive and a sign of good health. Research confirms that there is a relationship between oral health and general wellness, a sort of "two-way street" between a healthy mouth and a healthy body.

The truth is that the mouth is not an isolated "organ" of the human body. Oral problems can seriously affect our general health, and there is mounting evidence that some mouth, tooth, and gum problems can be predictive of other illnesses.

Unfortunately, according to statistics, 82% of Americans have at least one cavity by the age of 34. Eleven percent of children between two and five years old and 25% of adults have untreated tooth decay, and 47% of adults of 30 or older have some form of periodontal disease. It’s obvious that paying more attention to our oral health is not only a smart and healthy choice but the right thing to do.

Today, a growing number of people are turning to a diet of fresh rather than processed foods, getting more exercise, and using Schuessler tissue salts for lasting well-being.

Cell salts for teeth can be used effectively for both long-term care of the mouth and gums and to relieve the temporary pain associated with acute tooth problems. They are popular homeopathy products for toothaches that are recommended by holistic and integrative healthcare practitioners and widely used in the natural health community.

How Tissue Salts for Teeth Help Ensure Optimal Dental Health

In the 19th Century, Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler conducted a study of human cell structure and discovered that human cells contain 12 distinct mineral compounds. He concluded that a mineral imbalance in the composition of cells and tissues is the root cause of all diseases.

Over the last 150 years, much research has been conducted and has proved that minerals, including calcium, potassium, silica, iron, and magnesium, have specific health benefits.

The 12 tissue salts, also called cells salts or biochemical Schuessler salts, (you can read more about the 12 cell salts here) are compounds of essential minerals that contribute to core body functions, help maintain healthy minerals levels, and assist in avoiding and relieving a variety of physical and emotional complaints, including dental problems.

Schuessler tissue salts are helpful in the remineralization of teeth, to alleviate tooth sensitivity and acute tooth pain, for postoperative care, and the pain of tooth extractions.

The following tissue salts for teeth also help combat dry mouth and gum issues and offer comfort for infant teething among other dental problems. (Please see the comprehensive repertory of cell salts for tooth health below to copy or print.)

Which Tissue Salts Are Best for Oral Health

Tissue Salts for Strong Teeth, to Avoid Cavities, and Support Healthy Gums

Three tissue salts are particularly vital for the development and remineralization of strong teeth (as well as bones) and to help protect from cavities and tooth decay. These three Schuessler tissue salts for teeth are cell salt Calcarea Fluorica, cell salt Calcarea Phosphoricum, and cell salt Silicea or Silica.

Often called by their short name – Calc Fluor, Calc Phos, and Silica – they help restore minerals to tooth enamel, support the main part of the tooth underneath called dentin, and help produce collagen which is needed for healthy gums.

Also, consider these three tissue salts after indulging in sweets.

Highly recommended by natural health practitioner for children, adults, and as we age to maintain the strength of our teeth and overall oral health, the three cell salts for teeth are available in the form of a combination oral spray called Bone & Teeth Health Cell Salts.

Tissue salt Calc Fluor is known as the dentist among cell salts. In addition to helping restore tooth enamel, it is responsible for the elasticity of body tissues and can help widen the palate, avoid crowded teeth, and provide support when wearing braces.

Tissue salt Calc Phos assists with the digestion and absorption of nutrients. It helps assimilate vitamin D which is crucial to healthy teeth, good bones, and body structure. It is given to children during growth spurts, for teething pain, when teeth develop slowly (slow dentition), and for rapidly decaying teeth.

Tissue salt Silica is the cell salt that supports collagen production. It helps maintain healthy gums and can relieve inflamed gums and dental abscesses. Silica is also a natural cleanser and is known as the homeopathic lancet or surgeon. Because of this, it can help remove built-up tartar and plaque and keep teeth clean.

Plus, Silica is specifically recommended for brittle teeth and bones. It is a tough mineral that is found in quartz. A lack of it can lead to weakness, nervousness, and the malabsorption of vital vitamins.

Because both cell salts Silica and Calc Phos support nutrient assimilation, the mutual benefit of combining Calc Phos and vitamin D, and because vitamin D is the quintessential vitamin for healthy teeth and bones, we offer our Bone & Teeth Health Cell Salts + Liquid Vitamin D3 in a bundle.

You can take advantage of $3 off and a liquid vitamin D with the same clean and transparent ingredients as our homeopathic Schuessler cell salts when purchasing this bundle.

Tissue Salts for Sensitive Teeth

Those who suffer from sensitive teeth know how uncomfortable dentin hypersensitivity can be. It affects your quality of life and can arise or increase unexpectedly. Avoiding foods because of tooth sensitivity, such as ice cream or hot beverages, can even make you feel left out.

Look to cell salts Calc Fluor and Mag Phos for natural relief. By strengthening the protective enamel that coats our teeth, tissue salt Calc Fluor can reduce hypersensitivity.

Tissue salt Mag Phos, known as homeopathic Aspirin, is the tissue salt for nerve, shooting, and facial pain. Together with Calc Fluor, it can assist in calming sensitive teeth and those who experience dental nerve pain.

You may prefer to benefit from all three tooth strengthening cell salts described above and cell salt Mag Phos, if you tend to suffer from sensitive teeth, with our Dental Health & Emergency Cell Salts Kit which combines the Bone & Teeth Health Cell Salts combo spray with a bottle of tissue salt Mag Phos.

Tissue Salts for Dental Emergencies

Sometimes acute tooth nerve pain can be relieved or even stopped when taking the three cell salts for teeth and Mag Phos offered in our Dental Health & Emergency Cell Salts Kit.

Consider taking them with or in warm water for an even faster calming effect. Toothache can quickly turn into excruciating pain so make sure to work with your dentist, schedule your appointment just in case, and see if your toothache is temporary and will subside.

For acute pain, cell salts can be taken every 15 minutes three times in a row. Then wait for an hour and take them again every 15 minutes. When the pain is under control, reduce the frequency, take a dose hourly and eventually return to three to four times a day. If the pain continues, make sure to see your dentist.

Tissue Salts for Dental Pain Post Dental Treatment

Regular dental check-ups, cleanings, and necessary dental procedures are important but can cause temporary soreness and pain. It is an excellent idea to have the following cell salts at hand for relief from discomfort after a dental treatment.

Use tissue salt Ferr Phos before and after your dental appointment. It is the first aid cell salt helping recover from injuries, workouts, surgeries, and dental procedures. It carries and directs oxygen where it needs to go, particularly areas in need of repair. As such, it can help lower inflammation within the body, including the oral cavity.

For more severe discomfort and nerve-related toothache, add the above-mentioned acute pain tissue salt Mag Phos.

Many will also benefit from tissue salt Kali Phos, an important nerve tonic that helps strengthen and calm the overall nervous system. It is often recommended together with cell salt Mag Phos for facial pain, neuralgic pain, and specifically trigeminal neuralgia (TN).

Plus, Kali Phos supports healthy gums and can alleviate bleeding gums post dental visit. It will also help make your dental visit more pleasant by helping you stay calm and more relaxed.

If you are going in for a tooth extraction or have your wisdom teeth removed, tissue salt Ferr Phos is recommended in combination with cleansing and healing tissue salt Silica.

Tissue Salts for Canker Sores and Raw Mouth

Canker sores can be caused by small injuries to your mouth from a dental procedure, biting into your cheek accidentally when eating, or wearing braces. Your mouth can feel raw after a dental cleaning or eating crunchy or salty foods. You may experience dry mouth or other temporary irritation or inflammation of the gums and soft tissue in your mouth.

Look to tissue salt Nat Mur for dry mouth and painful mouth ulcers that can erupt on the inside of your lips, on your inner cheeks, or under the tongue. Add tissue salt Kali Mur that supports the healthy functioning of the mucous membranes and saliva glands for more support with rawness and inflammation.

Tissue Salt Therapies for Gum Problems

Although gingivitis and periodontitis should always be treated by a licensed dentist, a healthy lifestyle — including proper diet, recommended daily hydration, and healthy mineral levels — are equally important and possibly even more so for healthy gums and the prevention of serious disease.

Limit snacks and sugary food and drinks, avoid tobacco, drink alcohol in moderation, if at all, and follow the recommendations for daily tooth care and regular dental exams.

If you have inflamed gums or have been diagnosed with beginning onset of gingivitis, consider an extended 6-week therapeutic regimen of these four tissue salts for teeth and gums:

• Calc Fluor
• Ferr Phos
• Kali Phos, and
• Mag Phos*

Always work with your doctor and practice good dental hygiene, but supplement professional care with cell salts.

A helpful therapy for advanced gum disease includes a 6-week therapy with a special combination of cell salts for periodontitis. Follow the gingivitis protocol above and continue an additional 6 weeks with the following 4 tissue salts:

• Calc Fluor
• Calc Phos
• Kali Sulph, plus
• Silica for strengthening the connective tissue*

Again, it is not a substitute, but a reliable adjunct to professional treatment.

How to Take Cell Salts for Tooth and Gum Health

No matter which liquid minerals you choose to boost your oral health from among those we offer, our AnnaKare brand of lactose-free, sugar-free tissue salts for teeth in the form of oral sprays are fast-absorbing and easy to use.

Compounded in our certified homeopathic pharmacy, they are produced in accordance with the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS), FDA, and cGMP regulations and made here in the U.S.

Simply squirt two sprays of the recommended cell salt or cell salts for your tooth concern into your mouth three or four times a day. You can take cell salts more often — up to every 15 minutes — to alleviate acute pain but reduce the frequency of use when you see improvement.

Alternatively, you can spray the liquid into a few tablespoons of water in a small glass and sip slowly. It is optimal to take cell salts in an empty mouth so they can be absorbed well by the mucous membranes.

For children under 12, use one spray. Dilute the spray in water as described above for children under 6. Consider using warm water and let the alcohol evaporate for 10 minutes before administration or administer one tablespoon of the liquid only for small children.

You can also spray a day’s worth of squirts into your water bottle and sip throughout the day. Questions about our homeopathic remedies for tooth pain? Send us an email to CustomerService@HomeopathyStore.com.
