How do I dissolve antibiotic into dmso

[Z...]

I guess the biggest question here is whether you want to mess with something as serious as abscess in you head and not treat it properly. FWIW I think that risk of having abscess so close to the brain and major blood vessels far out weighs potential side effects of antibiotics.

I always believed in "if it aint broke dont try to fix it" and am wondering whether I should tamper with these teeth for purely estethical reasons since they never gave me any problems for more then a decade.

On the other hand I can never be sure they haven't give me any problems. I did suffer from several attacks of reumatoid pain in the shoulder, as well as chronic throat infection since early twenties which all started after I had root canals done. Of course I can never be sure if these problems were caused by focal infections from the root canals or bad dietary habits ( I have been gluten and dairy free only for last year or so) . Nevertheless I am inclined to open these roots again and treat them properly.

According to the dentist at the top notch local hospital these were done poorly and not filled in the entire length of the root canal and it was by sheer luck I never experienced any pain or infection problems. I always believed in "if it aint broke dont try to fix it" and am wondering whether I should tamper with these teeth for purely estethical reasons since they never gave me any problems for more then a decade.

That would be a tough decision for me too! I'd be inclined NOT to re-open the tooth if it is not giving me any problems. I'd have to study the x-ray and be totally convinced the entire root canal was not filled. And even then, I'd probably approach it with a "wait and see" attitude.

I have had only two root canals, and both of my nerve roots had a hook on the end. For the first one, the oral surgeon missed the hook and I had to go back a second time. I was on antibiotics for so long, I developed thrush! That was several years ago. The latest one, also with a big hook on the end, my dentist sent me to an "endo specialist" and he had a heck of time getting the hook. He showed me the x-ray, the root appears well filled and completely filled. So with any luck, this will be my last root canal!

Good luck Herr, sounds like you've got some tough decisions to make!

I've also put pure DMSO in my mouth...

If your abscess is advanced, you probably should take Laura's advice and swish some diluted DMSO around in your mouth, in addition to application of antibiotic.

I was thinking about trying this DMSO for a tooth problem also, but wanted to ask: It is OK to put full strength in the mouth? I didn't see Laura mention anything about diluting unless applied directly to the face.

I was so desperate for relief the first time, I just took it straight and spit it out after a couple of minutes. It really is nasty.

After that, I diluted it half & half with distilled water.

root canals can be sources of bad infection

Yes, some have even died from these type of infections. Luckily, I did not have that happen to me.

I can vouch for that danger. I was in a car accident when I was ten and over the next 22 years I had intermittent abscess growths which I treated with salt water mouth wash. No dentist diagnosed the problem all those years. Then one day, overnight, in fact, it flared up and I thought I would wait until monday (then being saturday morning) to see a dentist. The pain was almost unbearable and I could not move my jaw.
When I saw the dentist on the monday he said that if I had waited another 24 hours I would have died of blood poisoning. So I had some very strong antibiotics for four days and had two root canals done.
Still here to tell about it.

I posted this question many years ago which popped up in google search. i found most of the advice was worthless and ignorant.

may as well close the discussion with the answer

in case anyone comes across this post while searching ...

the answer is that any substance with a molecular weight under 1000 will easily be dissolved in dmso and be transported across skin.

a 50/50 ratio of dmso to substance can work. you can experiment with different ratios.

so for instance, just mix 5 drops of dmso and 5 drops of some essential oil like tea tree then use a q tip or whatever.

also look up the book ... Cure Tooth Decay by Nagel

tooth cavities are nothing but abscesses and should usually be treated like an abscess - not drilled and filled or not root canal or not removed but healed

like conventional doctors, dentists are a threat to your dental health. you need to become self educated in how to take care of your own dental health

 

[prioris]

one added note. an antibiotic like powder amoxicillin is water soluble so can be dissolved in distilled water. dmso will enhance the effectiveness of the antibiotic.

GIGO.

Yes, dmso is an excellent vehicle to transport substances across the skin, into the blood stream and it will cross the blood brain barrier as well. As stated earlier in the thread, DMSO mixed with antibiotic powder will transport the antibiotic into the area of infection (be it an abscessed tooth or otherwise).

I don't see what your latest post has added prioris, other than the molecular weight (without a source for the data). As for Nagel's book, is there is ground breaking information on how to regenerate teeth? If you have new information to add, do so. Simply calling everyone ignorant is not helpful, and seems to be the only reason you resurrected this thread.

Almost all dentists

a) maintain the fluoride is good for you

b) want to combat any infection by pulling teeth

c) have no problems putting toxic substances like mercury in teeth

d) shackled by AMA

e) stay silent about assault on people's health by the AMA

So like most common medical doctors, I have very low opinion of most dentists

most of them i categorize as sociopaths with maybe friendly personalities

doctors and dentists are dangerous to ones health

they are there to also juice people money wise

FYI, dentists are most certainly not shackled by AMA. ADA is far more powerful than AMA, and always has been. AMA kisses the feet of ADA, truth be told. I'm told that AMA even rented their offices from ADA in 1980s. No one messes with ADA, which is why/how they have managed to stay clear of federal needling, such as Medicare inclusion.
Dentists, like most physicians, are simply doing as taught and functioning as repeating stations for information that might not be correct. I have a hard time believing that a majority are out to harm their patients while enriching themselves. Most are true believers. Some dentists and physicians wake up and begin to change their lives and practice styles. Keeping one's ear to the ground will help with identifying such individuals.

As for topical antibiotic penetration, 2 facilitating compounds come to my mind.
Lipogel and PLO Gel are commonly used transdermal carrier bases. I think a lot depends on the side and structure of the molecule, if it will cross the barrier.
I don't know enough about the antibiotic in question, or about if it is safe or useful to use these carriers with DMSO. A compounding pharmacist might be the best source of this information.
