Posted on August 20, 2010

for example a piece of ginger root. this won't cause bacteria will it? I heard it can be used like an anti septic and is good for the teeth.

What does a toothpaste burn look like?

Posted on August 11, 2010

I put some toothpaste on some of my pimples and left them on overnight.
The ones on my face and back didn't burn, but the ones on my chest have a slight pink rash.
I'm confused whether I scratched it or if it did burn. I get the same mark from scratching any part of my skin... Well I'm a Ginger, anyways. But even if I did burn, what should I use?

***also I'm not a daywalker. I've never tanned in my life. (Retarded south park episode!!!!)

Dentists, is this a good toothpaste?

Posted on August 2, 2010

I just bought a "Natural Tea Tree Oil Toothpaste with baking soda & essential oil of ginger without fluoride.
I was wondering if it is good for my teeth (regular teeth)
or would you recomend a normal toothpaste?
(It doesn't have the Canadian Dental Association on it)

How can I get rid of gingivitis without a dentist?

Posted on July 10, 2010

and without getting rid of my teeth...lol

I've been trying olive oil, cloves, ginger, saline solution, listerine, going easy on sugary stuff (swishing water or mouthwash afterwards) and eating gently (mostly avoid tough foods), and careful flossing (the lack of doing so is what caused the gingivitis, I think...'cause I was religious about brushing)

I've had it for months now, and it's only improved a little...I don't have dental insurance... :(
