Vd.Avinash Chougule: For gandush use khadira kwath it not harmful to enamel or may use khadiradi vati

Ayulink: Usually dant-harsh can be seen increasing with sour taste too. Does it mean the condition has connection with Pitaa dosha?

Dr. Sachin Bali: Dant harsh.. Symptom of vaat prakop  Causes can be , harsh brushing , Dental caries, Vitamin C deficiency.Treatment gentle massage with triphala choorna, irimedadi tail gandush

Dr. Vikas Sharma: Blue vitriol gandush 2 to 3times a day give much relief instently

Manoj Advaith: Rock salt and mustard oil works quite well to provide relief from sensitive teeth. Take a spoon of powdered rock salt and add little mustard oil to it so that it becomes a thick paste. Now, with the help of finger, apply this paste both on the sensitive teeth and gums. In fact, you can apply it on all the teeth. Take some powdered asafoetida(hingu) and add half a lemon juice to it. Now warm the mixture. Apply this warm mixture on sensitive teeth. It will soothe sensitive teeth and will also give relief from any type of toothache.

 Somnath Mehere: Clove Oil is also used

Ayulink: chapter 13 covers teeth cleaning, toothbrushes, toothpastes and powders, and various problems. Would like an opinion about the various herbs. Is vata is the only cause for teeth sensitivity and which vata is responsible for this? Isn’t it that along cold, lot of people find that they are bothered by very sour items? Any hypothesis, how oil gandush or ayurvedic tooth powders subsides dant-harsh? Sensitivity?

Dr. Jigar Joshi: It's an imp question that wether any Ayurvedic treatment cure dental carries in which modern dentists do RCT ? Do we have effective alternative ? If anyone has experience pl share

Ayulink: Everytime we suggest gandush for any dental query. But how far it is effective that is not clear. What about the use of clove and camphor? How they are effective

9073: Best way use Babbul and Neem daily.

Dr. Bindiya U Shanghvi: I heard somewhere camphor is usefull for dental disease but how that i dnt knw

Dr. Vikas Sharma Punjab: Rct nothing just agni karm or kshar karm. In my practice I use gandhakaml to stop pain.more then 10 patient.only 2 time exposure will do good and same result like etc thanks

Dr. Samir Suneri: Agnikarma in toothache.Plz elaborate.

Dr. Vikas Sharma Punjab: Firstly find out triggering point of pain .Then dry up that site and apply kshar or if possible do agni karm .You find ultimate result. Mostly triggering point under the crown

Dr. Arvind Shahane: Hiora k tooth paste from Himalaya.Good result. I am using in gp practice

Gary Yuen: Does neem help sensitivity or is it mainly for cleaning? There's a book series called Ethnobotany of India, listing foods and herbs uses by various people in different areas. Seems that there are many tree sticks used for tooth cleaning. I'll try to find the list. Are any herbs known to help? Is it possible to even regrow ennamel?

Vd. Jignesh Thakkar: dant harsh happens because of vayu....and taila is best treatment for vayu. so tail gandush is best for dantharsh.

simple til tail kaval or gandush.

Vd. Pulkit D. Patel: Simple til tail gandusha also give good results

Gary Yuen: chapter 13 covers teeth cleaning, toothbrushes, toothpastes and powders, and various problems. Would like an opinion about the various herbs.

Dr.Satish Panda: All toothpaste available in the market are only for cleaning the oral cavity. So,Taila Gandu or Kawal has medicinal properties. As Danta has Vata sthana.

Dr. Shantanandkumar: In our village till using Neem for brush. Some of them prepare the powder by burning outer covering of badam Neem  Babbul  in ash form

Dr.Sanjeev Gupta: Gum-Tone tooth powder , a product of Charak pharma , is very useful in tooth ach .

Dr.Satish Panda: In danta chalan(loose tooth) ,apply  Taila Nasya.

Dr. V B. Maheshwari: Don't know the ingredients but Gurukul Kangdi's Payokil is also having good results in tooth sensitivity. Is vata is the only cause for teeth sensitivity and which vata is responsible for this?

Dr.Satish Panda: Udan Vata is responsible

Croatia Branko Markovic: Tila tailam gandusha is working very good. But this is even usually for a lot of people hard thing to do.. we have tooth paste with Mediterranean herbs and colloidal silver which is also working very nice.

Ayulink: I want to ask the same. Is it only Vata? or any thing else?

Croatia Branko Markovic: Isn’t it that along cold, lot of people find that they are bothered by very sour items?

Ayulink: I have used it. Really fantastic. But I have no problem of tooth sensitivity, so dont know this  toothpaste's effect on it. But in general the toothpaste, referred by Branko Markovic is very useful.

Croatia Branko Markovic: It is also good for inflamed gums as well receding gums

Dr.Satish Panda: Main dosa involved is Vata,but Kapha and pitta are also responsible.

Vd. Pritam Bharat Veer: Yes Vaat pradhanya is there in hypersensitivity of tooth . I think urdhvang means upper body is kafa pradhan so both are responsible. Warm til teil gandush is good for sensitive teeth. Also any warm thing soothes   sensitivity. IRIMEDADI teil also has good results.

Dr. V B. Maheshwari: I think दन्त हर्ष is ayurvedic terminology for teeth sensitivity. Doshas which quality is responsible for *Harsh*

Vd. Hardik bhatt: I think dant harsh  is vat pittaj  disease .

Croatia Branko Markovic: If there is sensitivity to sour items then pitta should be involved also?

Anoop S. Anand: Kaval and gandoosh with sesame oil/coconut oil should act good for dant harsh...temporarily clove oil can give relief but

Ayulink: Any hypothesis, how oil gandush or ayurvedic tooth powders subsides dant-harsh? Sensitivity?

Dr. P S. Desai: According to Ayurveda Dant Harsh due to Vat and oil balances vat. Other thing is Luke warm  oil also nourishes and help to increase local blood flow which help to maintain oral hygiene. Kaval and gandush also removes debris or food particles from teeth which causes irritation and Dant Harsh sensation. Most ayurvedic tooth paste and powder contains menthol as a contain which acts as counter irritant on gums and gives temporary relief in Dant harsh

It's my view

Ayulink: Thanks. Now the question which is asked by Branko Ji, also need to focus. Involvement of pitta?

Dr. P S. Desai: As we know pitta is responsible for paak. So some times Dant harsh is associated with recurrent stomatitis and gingivitis. In that condition we should also think about pitta and treat it

Ayulink: How about clove oil?

Dr. P S. Desai: Clove oil contains eugenol. Which have local anesthetic effect. That's why it gives temporary relief. It also acts as mild anti inflammatory.

Anoop S. Anand: prolonged use of clove oil may lead to drying of tooth..tooth may powder..

Croatia Branko Markovic: Sour quality which is heating

Ayulink: Similarly with camphor?

Dr. P S. Desai: Yes menthol acts as local analgesic and counter irritant. It's also acts as calcium Chanel blocker which block the pain sensation for some time by blocking the calcium Chanel in nerve conduction

Dr. Dayanand Bothre: Harsh is gun of sour ( amla )Ras

Dr Mahjabeen: So is it helps in nerve conduction by blocking calcium channels?

Dr. P S. Desai: Blocks pain sensation for some times

Dr Mahjabeen: What about nerve conduction

Vd Sandeep Kumar: Application of  amrut dhara. And roasted hingu...In gum pain is useful

Dr Mahjabeen: Rsted cardomum its ash catch tightly inbetween jaws reduces pain

Gary Yuen: I think ash is important, perhaps more from calcium containing substances. There are studies of xylitol (an artificial sweetener in chewing gum) and other substances effecting remineralization of teeth. I think it may be possible to heal senstivity and cavities to some degree. I have sensitive teeth from previous bad habits and notice with a strict diet, there are no problems. I think the purpose of khadiradi gatika pills in Caraka Ci26.199 that are left in the mouth until they dissolve is also healing.
