• Ripe banana is also effective in treating pyorrhea. Take a ripe banana and remove its outer peel. Thereafter, eat the banana along with its inner threadlike peel.
• Limejuice is of great value in treating pyorrhea, as it strengthens the gums and teeth.

• Massage gums thoroughly for five minutes twice a day with Ipsab.  Repeatedly apply a liberal quantity of Ipsab to the tip of the finger and massage the gums vigorously on all surfaces.  In extreme cases, take a small tuft of cotton which has been dipped in Ipsab and use a pair of tweezers to rub this saturated cotton between the gum and each tooth which is very loose.  This maneuver will insure the contact of the Ipsab with the growing organisms.  After the massage, rinse out the mouth with an undiluted solution of Glyco-Thymoline followed by tap water.  Do not swallow any of these solutions.
• Brush teeth once each day in the evening before retiring with a mixture composed of equal parts of common table salt and sodium bicarbonate.  Brush teeth each morning after breakfast with any good dentifrice.
• Eat a large raw vegetable salad each day.
