    Unhappy Don't want to use antibotics

    I have developed a gum infection and mouth ulcers and the dentist has prescribed antibotics. I really don't want to use them I'd like find something else to use instead. I've been raw for a few years now and I know if I take the antibotic it's going to knock me around. But waking up every morning in agony and having such a sore throat and gums is not much fun either. I've been dabbing the area with tea tree oil and rinsing with a salt solution. Does anyone have any advice on what else I can do?

    try oil pulling with coconut oil or raw sesame oil. Its been discussed here or you can get info on google. Swish in mouth through teeth and all around etc for 15 minutes - then spit it out and rinse. Some say its toxic so spit it in the toilet not the sink. Hope it helps and your mouth gets better I know how awful it is to have a sore mouth and teeth.
