In addition to what you can find on this site's other pages, here are some more tips for enhancing dental health and healing.
Increase the circulation to teeth and gums
Some attribute importance to massaging the gums to stimulate enhanced circulation of nutrients to the teeth proper, stimulate saliva flow and hinder the formation of plaque deposits.
Of course, each time you properly chew natural, fibrous food, the gums are "intrinsically" being massaged. More at Dental health prerequisite number 5: proper mastication - exercise your teeth and gums by chewing well.
Using an oral irrigator (such as a Waterpik device) by itself or with the addition of some salt or 3% hydrogen peroxide added to the warm water should also increase blood respectively lymph circulation in your mouth and gums.
Any herbs that stimulate blood and lymph flow would also work to increase the circulation to the teeth and gums. For this purpose, I have seen suggested herbs or plant products such as tea tree oil, peppermint oil and cayenne pepper as well as bayberry root bark and echinacea root. Arnica apparently strongly enhances circulation.
