Tooth and Gum Irrigant
Description: 4 oz glass bottle. Antiseptic “waterpick” additive or
mouthwash concentrate helps heal tooth and gum
problems. Similar
to Under The Gums ® irrigant but at a fraction of the price, and
available without a prescription. It works best and the action is much deeper
when used in a home
oral irrigation device such as a Hydro-Floss, Via-jet, or
WaterPik, but it can also be mixed in water to make a
healing mouthwash or a few drops can be used on a toothbrush to brush the teeth.
Tooth and Gum Irrigant contains the following: Extracts of gotu kola, echinacea angustofolia root,
echinacea purpurea root, white willow, calendula, and
yarrow; vegetable glycerine, xylitol; essential oils of peppermint,
eucalyptus, clove, cinnamon leaf, red thyme, sweet birch,
and sage; sodium ascorbate, mixed tocopherols. 30% alcohol.
Note that the
alkaloids in Tooth and Gum Irrigant herbs continue to react
to form a small amount of carbon dioxide after it is
bottled. This is good since it displaces oxygen and
greatly extends storage life, but it may make a small
“pfft” sound when the bottle is first open or after
sitting a long period.
Directions: Shake well each use. Mix a teaspoon (to as much as 2 tsp) in 8 oz of water
in water pick reservoir. Use pick as recommended by
manufacturer. Or, mix ¼ to ½ teaspoon in an
ounce or two of water to make mouth rinse. It is too
strong to use undiluted. For irrigation with a water pick the lowest setting
should be used at first (1 out of 10), building up to a
still-low level if needed (2 to 4 out of 10). No special irrigator tips should be used since they
can make gum pockets worse if used with too much water
force.
There are 24 teaspoon
servings per 4 oz bottle.
