Mouth, Teeth & Gums

Abscessed Tooth

What a miracle! I had an abscessed tooth and was beginning to get the toxins spread into my throat and my ears. I called my sister-in-law to see what she thought I should do. I can’t take antibiotics they always seem to cause me problems and was not prepared to deal with that again. She had just purchased the clay in powder form and ran some over to me to try. Within two hours after applying a paste to my abscess it had drawn the infection out. I continued to apply the paste that night and the next day to fully heal the tooth and I was infection free. Since the clay worked so well on my tooth I decided to use it for a mask on my face and wow what a difference it made in my skin. Needless to say I am in the process of purchasing my own clay. – Laura G.

Abscessed Tooth & Swollen Jaw 

Clay triumphs again!!!!!!! I met with my friend to give him the 4 pound tub of clay to take on the plane and could not believe the difference in his face. The red, hot, angry swelling was completely gone and he said he had no pain in the tooth and only a slight pain right where the jaw hinges which was probably from him clenching his jaw from the pain. The amazing thing is he was not able to use the clay that much as he had to work. He was only able to apply the hydrated on the outside for an hour once during the day but then did apply it and leave it on all night. He also packed the tooth with dry clay and took some internally several times. I told him…… “Do not stop using it even though it seems to be better.” So he will keep up the hydrated on his face and neck plus dry around the tooth and drinking liquid 2 x’s daily till he gets back a week from today. Now he’s all excited about clay and wants me to print out almost everything off the aboutclay website for him. Looks like you’ve got another believer. And he was amazed when he saw my leg were the cat had literally chewed it up. I would have a hard time proving anything happened as there’s not even much in the way of scabbing. – Mary Lee S.

Acidic Cold Sore

The other night I woke up at 3:17 AM and started thinking about all I needed to do for a busy month ahead. When I do that I create an acid condition in my body a sore rises up on my bottom lip area. It’s very painful and can burst and be very uncomfortable to deal with while I’m working. I had gotten up during the night and used my regular remedy of Blue Green Marin Algae but it didn’t work this time.

BUT… I remembered my little jar of Clay Mask and the next morning layered a thick amount on the sore. I left it on during the hour drive I had to my job that Saturday and by the time I drove up the sore had completely disappeared and two days later has not raised up again! This clay has just saved me 2 weeks of embarrassment and irritation! I will always keep a container of this clay on hand for the rest of my life!!! – Becky A.

Bad Breath

My 7 year old daughter had bad breath for very long time, after giving her clay for 2 weeks it went away and never came back. God knows what was in her stomach!!

Biting Lip

I frequently bite the inside of my lip, accidently, while I’m chewing (same spot, at least once a week)…boy does that hurt. I put a pinch of clay between my lip and gum…kind of like chewing tobacco ;)…and just let it disappear. The tissue starts healing immediately. Denise K.

Bleeding Gums

My gums bleed when I brush my teeth. (I know that I need to start taking large amounts of Vitamin C as this is a major symptom of lack of C) But I thought I’d try packing my teeth with clay at night as an experiment first. As experiments go–this was a winner! The first morning after packing dry clay on my gum line at night, the bleeding was less than half. The second morning, barely pink and the third morning — no bleeding at all. And my gums look healthier in color. So, guess I’ll be taking C AND packing my teeth/gums every night. – Renee G.

Bone Infection

Have just been to my new Dentist. My LAST Dentist did a root canal filling Christmas before last. Last November most of it fell out and I went to a new Dentist. The tooth was refilled. From that time on I have had chronic ear earache, an abscess on the tooth, (which I cured, only to infect again). Am now on my 15th dose of antibiotics. Today the tooth was opened up and the whole story is complete. Previous dentist only filled two of the three roots on the tooth. Hence I now have a massive bone infection that will take up to twelve months to get rid of. The clay has done a miraculous job. Previous infection took six weeks to get the swelling down. It is only four days and most of the swelling has gone. I am applying a topical compress three times a day. Took your advice and didn’t over-do it, also my dogs are receiving the benefit of this wonderful detox product. I am feeling almost back into the land of the living, was soooo spaced out last Monday, and miserable. — Carol B.

Clay for Teeth and Gums 

I read that the clay can eventually rebuild, strengthen, and improve our teeth as well as our gums. Well my gums were tremendously improved within a day or so and have stayed that way ever since I have used the use the clay and brush with it. I just love brushing with it and knowing I can swallow it and there are no chemicals. I used to floss more than brush while trying to avoid the fluoride in toothpaste. I would rinse and brush with fluoride free mouthwash and floss but only brush my teeth with toothpaste about once every week or two. Now I brush with my dry clay power around three times a day and my teeth feel so great!!! Amazingly, I have noticed only after two weeks that the enamel has considerably hardened on my teeth which will help prevent cavities in the long run. I am shocked and delighted that the clay can do that so soon. I will never worry about toothpaste again. All I want is my clay before my food after my food and during food. I like to nibble all day and now I can do that and also take care of my teeth in and around eating. No poisons or pestering taste to endure. — Shirly A.

Clay on Cavities

The most impressive thing that happened to me with the clay dealt with my mouth. Over the past several years, in spite of meticulously brushing and flossing my teeth, I have had an acidic PH in my mouth and many cavities. Prior to beginning the clay, I had been diagnosed with 5 more cavities after only 6 months. I had 3 of them taken care of and then I made an appointment to have the remaining 2 taken care of. At the time of the first appointment, I had just begun to use the clay powder to brush my teeth (prior to bedtime) and tongue and then after I would rinse, I would put more clay powder on my brush and brush it all over my teeth and around the gum line and let it remain there. Because of various circumstances, it was another month till I was able to go back to the dentist for my appointment. When I went in, the dentist and the hygienist were both confused as they looked for the two cavities they were supposed to fill. They could not find them. I know that they were previously there because they had used the metal pick and I had felt where they poked into the holes. I told the dentist about the clay and he said that the area must have re-mineralized. They were both excited about it and they took down the information for the websites and I recommended Perry A~’s book to them. I will definitely continue on tooth brushing with the clay as I enjoy stronger, healthier teeth which are also whiter looking. Thank you for pointing out all the good uses of this product. – Donna J.

Clay Tooth Paste Dental Care

I tell everyone that calls and says “what do you use?” about the clay. many have bought and tried it and they call back and say they love it too. I don’t use regular toothpaste anymore. I use stuff from the health food stores with no Fluoride when I don’t use the clay mixture. When I use the clay mixture, I put the Miracle 2 gel on my brush, like a “paste,” then I dip my brush in the powder clay, then I put 2 drops of Miracle 2 soap, 2 drops of Oil of Propolis, and 2 drops of Oil of Peppermint. I tried using myrrh, but that stuff is a little strong. That is the best stuff there is! My teeth feel so clean and stay that way all day! I would love to use it every day! I actually got the idea because I bought a toothpaste by Burt’s Bees, and they had clay in it. I thought, I can do that! We had a dentist on our show that said you should not use over the counter toothpastes at all. He said you should just simply use soap. Interesting!!! Thanks again. — Debbie W.

Clay Whitening Toothpaste 

For the toothpaste I just mix 2 teaspoons of clay with 3 teaspoons of water, add a couple drops of Oil of Oregano (kills bacteria and virus). I keep it in a small glass container with a glass lid, and cut a plastic knife to fit inside the dish (the knife is used to scoop the paste on to my toothbrush). This stays near the sink-I do not refrigerate it. It has gotten my teeth whiter. They are actually whiter than my bridge, and the Dentist did a teeth cleaning before the bridge work! Blessings. — Becky H.

Cold Sore

I have been doing a detox and got a cold sore. After applying the clay twice, the pain was gone in a couple hours and it only took two days to completely clear. Even with Abreva it takes a couple days, and it leaves the area red for a week. Not this time! Love my clay. — Marelin T.

Cold Sores

“My husband has been plagued for many years with cold sores. He has found that putting clay on a threatening cold sore begins to dry it up overnight, becoming less active and diminishing irritation. Thanks!” – Laura G.

Deep Gum Pockets Shrink

Have been using clay to brush my teeth and haven’t in my entire life been told such a great report. The dentist told me your gums look beautiful, everything looks great! I have periodontal disease and used to have deep pockets. I’m so excited! — Nora Z.

Fever Blister 

Just wanted to tell everyone I am very new in the clay family. But I got a fever blister on my lip like in the corner which was really sore and yucky looking, I decide to try the clay….I wet my lip with water got a little dry clay and stuck it on the blister at night before bed did that 3 nights and now I am looking for the blister……thought that was very impressive….how fast it dried it up….you can see where it used to be, very faint. — Violet W.

Gum Disease Disappearing with Clay 

We use clay in our green smoothies EVERY morning… in the tub for a nice, soothing, detoxifying soak weekly and I use it to brush my teeth… the gum disease is going away and my teeth are revitalizing! It’s also getting rid of bacteria in my mouth and internal parasites as well. I was absolutely plagued for nearly 3 years by a monstrous skin rash all over my body… Living Clay has been a VITAL part of my detoxification and rejuvenation program! It’s the BEST thing I’ve used in 65 years!! I LOVE recommending it to others because of what the clay has done for me! – Jan J.

Healthy Teeth and Bone Density 

When I moved to a new town I kept putting off finding a new dentist. Finally my teeth begin to feel unclean and I made an appointment. It was then I realized I had not been to the dentist in 4 years. I dreaded going. The good news is I had been brushing my teeth with a calcium Bentonite clay all this time. I merely put a glob of the hydrated clay ion my tooth brush and tipped it off with a little store bought toothpaste for a better flavor. I noticed my teeth felt smoother can clean and were much less yellow. About twice a month I would pack my gums with the dry powder and sleep with it in all night. . When I got my check up and cleaning I was astounded at the good report. No cavities and he said I should keep my teeth until I am 102 years old because of the bone density. He also said my gums were healthy and I had no loose pocket. Did I mention I am 71 years young and have all my teeth. I attribute this good report to using clay. – Mary T.

Mercury from Amalgams Lowered

I recently decided to get the amalgam fillings in my teeth removed to reduce the overall toxicity of my body because I was testing high for mercury. I felt sicker than I’ve ever been after the procedure and thankfully was led to the concept of using clay to detoxify. I started taking daily baths and foot soaks and drinking liquid clay internally and immediately felt much better. -Audrey W.

Mercury Levels Drop

My mercury levels from my old amalgam fillings I had removed has dropped considerably!! All with your clay. – Kevin A.

Mouth Ulcer

I felt a mouth ulcer coming on. I packed a glob of the clay over the spot and went to sleep. The spot felt smaller the next morning. I put some more clay on and went about my business. Want to guess what happened? Well if you guess it was gone within 24 hours you are right. – Ashley A.

Periodontal Disease 

I had periodontal disease with several #8 pockets a year ago. In Oct. of 2011 I started brushing with the dry Living Clay twice a day and at night packing those areas with the clay. At my last dental check-up I now have #4 pockets and healthy gums. He also said my teeth were very nice and white!! So happy with this clay. — Cindy P.

TMJ Blocked Jaw-Worn Menicus

I had a blocked jaw and a bit of pain, meaning that I could not open it totally, for 3 months, when I decided to consult. The dentist-surgeon said the meniscus was worn and he wanted me to have a mould in my jaw at night and if not efficient to operate, but close to the facial nerve and if he touched it I would have half of my face paralyzed…
I was scared, went home and put a little square poultice onto my meniscus every night. After 2 days, I had no pain anymore (never big pain) and after 5 days I could open my mouth normally. Really, after that I should have gone to have an x-ray to see what happened to my meniscus????

Years later a physiologist told me could have been a muscle and the clay could have helped to relax it and I presume there is always this possibility that they could not see that with x-ray, but as my meniscus was worn, now 30 years later would be in pretty bad state, if the clay had not helped to reform it! — Corrine M.

Tooth Ache Testimonial

I awoke during the night with a severe tooth ache with a shooting pain from the back of my jaw around to my chin. Not having anything for a tooth ache I grabbed my Living Clay Book and there was the solution. I packed the tooth in powder clay and the radical pain subsided almost immediately. I also applied hydrated clay to the outside of my jaw. I could feel the drawing pulsation. I went back to sleep. The next morning I only felt a slight twinge when I ate and applied pressure to the tooth. I continued the clay powder and the hydrated applications for two days and nights. 

Normally this would have meant being on antibiotics and having a root canal and a crown. Clay gave me a much faster solution and saved me thousands of dollars. Jane G. 

Tooth Infection

Eighteen months ago I had a trip to Spain. A week before leaving I was flossing, under a bridge. The floss went all the way cross. A tooth had decayed all the way across. Of course I would not cancel or postpone the trip. I started packing my tooth every night with clay. When I got back from the trip and went to see the Dentist, he wanted to know what I had been doing, since I had no infection. The tooth was decayed to the bone.
If a tooth hurts, it has an infection, either large or small, get to the dentist. -Eunice Y.

Tooth Pain after Surgery

My mom had some teeth pulled in preparation for dentures and she ran out of a pain gel the Dr. had given her, but still had a lot of discomfort. I suggested she pack her sore gums with clay and it worked like a champ! She did it 3 times a day and all healed nicely and the pain was significantly improved. – Justine F.

Tooth Paste Recipe

I have been mixing 3 drops of tea tree and 6 drops of peppermint to 2oz. of clay, very yummy. I am sure other combos will work but I think it is a great mix. My teeth and my gums just feel so clean, and I am sure that my teeth are better off for it. — Sharon H.

Tooth Tartar

Just wanted to say that the clay has been great for removing tartar. Normally when I go to the dentist they have to scrape away at my teeth for a long time to remove the tartar that I get from drinking a lot of herbal teas throughout the day, everyday. I haven’t been to the dentist in over a year, so it was pretty bad 6 months ago, but since I started drinking the clay and brushing with clay I don’t have any tartar!!!! And I didn’t have to scrub or scrape! -Nancy F.

Whiter Teeth Healthier Gums

My teeth and gums have never been better and so beautiful. I used to bleach them which I don’t think is a very good thing anyway but now I don’t have to because I too brush with the clay. AND my last visit to the dentist, they couldn’t believe how nice my teeth were doing. My teeth always feel like I just went for a major cleaning after I brush with the clay. They feel as smooth as a glass surface. – Susan M.

Whiter Teeth

I had the sweetest complement this past week. I was having my teeth cleaned and the dental hygienist asked me if I had been using a “whitener for my teeth”…I thought to my self…great! How am I gonna explain this one!? LOL!! I very bravely, sighed, smiled and calmly said “no, I haven’t!”…prepared to leave it at that. But NO… she told me my teeth were a lot whiter than last time I had been there and she just wondered what I was doing? “OK, time to fess up, even if i DO sound crazy” I was thinking to myself…”no, I use clay…calcium Bentonite clay.” I was waiting for her to drop to the floor laughing, but that didn’t happen…not at all! She was fascinated…comes to find out, she has a lot of the same beliefs that I do and is on a learning mission herself for a healthier lifestyle as well! I gave her the clay web site plus talked about some of the other holistic things that have made such a big difference in my life in the last 7 months…it was WONDERFUL! I just LOVE sharing what clay has done for me and this was the perfect opportunity, but I didn’t even HAVE to mention it, in fact she kind of had to drag it out of me…I know …shame on me, but this is another “medical professional” and I just KNEW what was coming….LOL!! That’ll teach me! And “YES” by the way…my teeth are about 2 shades lighter than they had been before, and I drink coffee daily…and they are still a really pretty white! I LOVE my clay!!! – Carol S.

Yellow Teeth 

I have had a real problem with very yellow teeth. This is in part because my teeth are naturally not a bright white, but also because I refuse to put flouride in my mouth, and I go through phases where I drink a lot of herbal tea. I keep my toothbrush soaking in H2O2 and have tried several kinds of homemade concoctions – usually baking soda-based. None had any impact on my yellow teeth. The other day I mixed some dry clay with some baking soda, added a wee bit of H2O2, vegetable glycerine, stevia power, and essential oil of peppermint. The only real difference was the clay. After 3 days I noticed that my teeth were several shades whiter. I was so happy. I’m still using it and expecting even better results as time goes by. – Chloie L.
