** Remember- the more options available, the more likely you will find something that works!
Dont forget that, in long-term survival situations, you will be responsible for dental care as much as
medical care:
Toothpicks,
Dental mirror,
Dental extractors/elevator
Cotton tip applicators / cotton rolls/ cotton pellets
Tweezers
Dental filling material ( commercial or mix zinc oxide powder and 2 drops clove oil),
Pill cups for mixing the dental filling
Baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and 2 drops of peppermint oil make a great gum treatment and
toothpaste
Hydrogen peroxide- makes a great oral mouthwash/gargle for gum swelling and irritations. Do not
use on open skin wounds after the initial wound cleaning! HP may damage healing cells inside an
open skin wound.
