Hi, I can't reply to the poll as I just don't KNOW...I have no definites. I deal with a close to 10 yr issue from a molar with a broken filling which is next to a bridge that is over a RC...over these years a dentist wanted to remove everything. I have ended up with 2 courses of amoxicillian which calmed everything down and now use home remedies for my issue. I don't recommend this for others but this is what I use. I have read tons of info on oil of oregano and knew about it years ago but never used it. It's used for many infections. There is a post about it on the vits/nutrients/herbs here and I've added my comments to it. I'm doing all I can for myself as I don't want more trauma to my body and then there is the expense of it all.

Welcome to the forum and hope you get answers that satisfy you. I know also that use of grape seed ex for over 20 yrs has kept my oral health in general -- good.
