Do this three times a day, spaced three hours apart until the pain eases. That said, your saliva is slightly alkaline, so it can help to neutralize your mouth’s pH. It usually takes at least 20 minutes for your saliva to return the mouth’s pH to normal after the food is swallowed.
When you eat or drink something sugary, the sugar interacts with the bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria thrive on sugar and produce acids as a byproduct (waste). This acid production begins within seconds of sugar consumption.
After eating or drinking anything sugary, your mouth’s pH can remain acidic for 20–40 minutes. During this time, your teeth’s enamel is vulnerable to acid erosion. Rinse immediately after eating something sugary; swish with water for 20 seconds.
Rinsing dilutes acids and protects enamel by washing away nearly a third of oral bacteria and any lingering sugars. Your saliva will handle the remaining two thirds of your oral bacteria’s byproducts. Saliva contains natural buffering agents like bicarbonate, phosphate, and proteins that actively neutralize harmful acids produced by bacteria after eating.
It raises your mouth’s pH back to a safe, neutral level (between 6.5 and 7.5), protecting your tooth enamel from demineralization. Brush your teeth with a soft toothbrush and a half cup (120ml) of filtered fluoride-free water. IMO, you don’t need any toothpaste and mouthwash.
Running your tongue across your teeth and feeling smoothness is a sign that you have successfully removed the buildup of plaque (a rough feeling that sticks to your teeth). Teeth may also look brighter. While saliva has a natural washing effect, alone it is not enough to remove built-up bacteria, dead cells and that white or grayish coating on the surface of your tongue.
Brush your tongue with the same soft toothbrush and a half cup (120ml) of filtered fluoride-free water. Brushing will help keep the tongue clean, which leads to fresh breath. Also, gently brush your gums to remove bacteria from the gum line. This helps to control the growth of harmful bacteria linked to gum disease.
Wait about 30 minutes after a meal to brush. Brushing too soon can damage softened enamel. This oral hygiene will help with restoring your normal pH levels and, as a result, prevent cavities. If there is no enamel loss or erosion, cavities will not form. For more on food pH levels in your mouth.
Six Thousand Years and Counting
Silver has been widely used throughout recorded history for at least 6000 years. Silver is a proven and effective treatment against almost all microbial infections (bacteria and viruses). There are no menacing side effects as with most prescription drugs today.
Research suggests that silver nanoparticles (a key component of colloidal silver) can stimulate adult stem cells. Some studies show that silver nanoparticles can enhance the differentiation of stem cells. Differentiation is the process whereby stem cells become more specialized cell types and can perform new functions.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been used in wound dressings in low concentrations to promote stem cell growth and accelerate tissue healing. Low concentrations of colloidal silver are generally considered to be in the range of 10 to 30 parts per million (ppm). A concentration of 50–300 ppm of colloidal silver is generally considered high.
Higher concentrations (50–300 ppm) require smaller doses. Colloidal silver with high concentrations often suggest measuring servings in drops or small fractions of a teaspoon. High-concentration of colloidal silver also includes limiting use to short-term periods (14 days), rather than long-term daily use.
You can dilute one teaspoon (5ml) in 8 ounces of water and drink to potentially boost the immune system to help the body fight off an illness — take for 14 days, once daily. Your mouth is divided into four quadrants – the upper right/left and lower right/left. Brush each quadrant with one drop of colloidal silver on a soft toothbrush every other day for 14 days. This may help accelerate the healing of sore gums.
Don’t need to apply another drop to brush your tongue clean, plain water will do. Be aware, this treatment is often painful and bloody. How painful and bloody really depends on how badly your oral cavity has been poisoned.
