Hello: I am no dentist, but I did publish patient educational audio/visual materials in the dental field, and hence spent quite a bit of time with dentists. Add to that the fact that my teeth were wrecked by the time I was 15 years old (no care), and I do know a bit about teeth. First of all, teeth are generally lost because of periodontal disease, which destroys the bone, loosens the tooth, and eventually it is lost. A nerve dying does not in itself signify loss of the tooth - I have a mouth full of dead teeth which work just fine (and no tooth ache!). Abscess is a threat, but antibiotics can help control this and the body can usually defeat the infection which is what an abscess is. After that it settles down.
I am using CS nightly rinse, and it is controlling my periodontal problem, and my mouth is extremely comfortable - no pink tooth brush, and the placque has just disappeared (placque is caused by bacteria, and the CS takes good care of that). Hope these thoughts help. God Bless!

Hi Vern, Right now, Claire Gilbert & I are involuntary experts on unhappy teeth. Both of us are using 'Under the Gum', an herbal mixture that is used in a waterpik device. It's from the Dental Herb Co, 1-800-747-4372, in Northampton, MA. I've just used it twice, so I can't comment much, except to say I like it. Viktoras Kulvinskas, Survival in the 21st Century, was the only helpful information I could find. He advocates using alkaline paste or seasalt for brushing. Seawater or grass juice, & zone therapy in the knuckles of fingers & toes will relieve a toothache. To keep the tooth, he recommends reducing the acid condition of the body. Use several enemas during the day (I've been finding colonics VERY helpful). Eat alkaline juices, sprouts, sesame seed & sea vegetables. I mostly eat fruits & vegetables, but I concentrated on taking chlorophyll, barley grass powder, beet powder, & wheat grass. I have an infection, so I've been using the zapper; I also had one occasion to use it as a TENS type device to reduce the pain. Spot magnets will aid circulation, healing & pain relief. I also been using lots of bee pollen, with all the B vitamins. B's are for the nerves, so it seemed logical, as well as lots of organic cheese. Claire uses raw, unprocessed honey on her gums. Basically, I would reduce any demands on your body--stress, toxins, pollutants and increase all nutritive avenues--extra rest, power foods, lots of purified water. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
