Reply #19: If you have no other options than vinegar and baking soda

Here is a clue....start brushing your teeth with 3% hydrogen peroxide from the local super or Target. Its cheaper than toothpaste and to a large extent, it kills bacteria and germs, particularly those that cause abscess. But in the long run you need to find a way to get the teeth taken care of. In my state medicare or Medicaid pays for some preventive care (teeth cleaning) and for the tooth or teeth to be pulled but nothing else. As the very last resort, it is better to have the tooth/teeth pulled, than the deterioration of health and risking death.

If you do this (brush your teeth with HP) you will know the amount of bacteria and germs being decimated by the amount of foaming of the HP.
