MMS mouthwash reduces dental infection recurrence in users

My sister had dental implants, and they always had an infection around them. Her dentist told her she would lose them unless she took a low dosage of antibiotic every day. She didn’t like doing that, so she would take it until the infection went away, then stop for a time. When she began to taste the infection again, she’d return to the antibiotic.

This all changed when she learned about MMS. Right away she started using it for mouthwash, activated with the citric acid in water, and she knew it kept the infection away, because she could always taste the infection when it came back. She doesn’t have to use the mouthwash every day, but if the infection starts to come back she steps it up to daily use and it goes away. So it didn’t really cure the problem in one fell swoop, but it’s a lot better to use a mouthwash than antibiotics!

The main problem with using MMS for a mouthwash is fear of what all that acid might be doing to one’s dental enamel. Both my sister and I have tried using unactivated MMS in water, since that’s very alkaline rather than acidic, and the sodium chlorite is activated by the saliva. But I didn’t think it was doing much, because as it sat there in the bottle over a few days, it started tasting more and more like salt water. So I thought it must be getting activated by the water and dissipating. The clincher was when my sister called and told me she had used the unactivated mouthwash and her infection came right back.

Now we’re going to try using the activated MMS again in water, but with baking soda added to tame the acidity. I’m going to put a drop of mint oil in mine because somehow with baking soda it tastes even worse!

I do believe it’s bad to brush the teeth with regular activated MMS in its acidic form, because it must work the acid even more into the enamel! So whenever I read that Jim H. says to brush your teeth with it, I wish he wouldn’t.
