Best Essential Oils to Help Sooth Teeth and Gums
Source
You may want to try some essential oils to help sooth teeth and gums and clove essential oil is the most recommended. It is suggested to first mix clove with fractionated coconut oil, then dab a little on your finger and rub it on the gums. I didn’t get in to essential oils until after my babies were too old to try this, but I found some helpful information from others about essential oils and soothing teeth and gums you may like…
Always dilute oils in a carrier oil (like fractionated coconut oil or olive oil) before using it on your baby. Apply lavender essential oil on the infant’s feet and then melaleuca essential oil or lavender essential oil on the gum. Other resources suggested applying:
- Melaleuca essential oil
- White Fir essential oil
- Myrrh essential oil
- On Guard Protective Blend
- Serenity Restful Blend
Bouncy Balls
What you need:
- ½ cup of water
- 1 teaspoon borax
- 1/8 cup of clear glue
- glitter
- 1-2 drops of Balance essential oil
Directions:
-
- In a plastic cup mix together water and borax, once the borax dissolves, set aside.
- In a small bowl mix together glue, Balance essential oil and glitter until combined.
- Pour glue substance into the cup of water mixture, and stir with a popsicle stick until it forms a clump of glue. Note: the glue will not combine with the water, you are simple swirling it around until the glue becomes more solid
- Take the glue out and place it on a paper towel. Fold the paper towel over it to dry the water.
- Play with it in your hands so all of the bubbles release, and form into a ball.
Tip:
- Use two round tablespoons to get the perfect ball.
Polka Dot Slime
What you need:
- 2 five ounce bottles of clear school glue
- liquid starch
- craft pom poms
- 2-3 drops of Lavender essential oil
Directions:
- Pour your two five ounce bottles of clear glue into a bowl along with the Lavender essential oil.
- Add liquid starch a little bit at a time (in tablespoons) and stir well in between each tablespoon.
- Knead to make it uniform, then add your pom poms and knead them in as well.
Tip: Always shake your liquid starch container before use. You will want to keep adding liquid starch until the slime is no longer stringy or sticking to the bowl.
Chalksicles
What you need:
- ½ cup + 3 tablespoons of plaster of paris
- 1/3 cup of water
- few drops of food coloring paste
- popsicle silicone mold
- popsicle sticks
- 2-4 drops of Wild Orange essential oil for a summer scent
Note: This recipe makes enough for one popsicle.
Directions:
- In a plastic cup, mix the plaster, Wild Orange essential oil and water until a paste forms. Mix in the food coloring for the color you desire.
- Place the plaster mix inside the mold with a plastic spoon, and place a popsicle stick far down in the middle.
- After about 45 minutes, the popsicle chalks will harden enough to take out of the molds, then allow them to dry upright in a cup until they are completely hardened.
Tip: Silicone molds are the best way to go, when they are dry you simple roll the mold down the popsicle.

There are some tasty recipes that include ideas for “wild orange peanut butter sandwiches” (who doesn’t love a great new idea for a peanut butter sandwich?) and “tangerine * fruit dip” that kids will love! Just a few drops of wild orange essential oil or Tangerine * essential oil – and voila! You may find a new favorite in your home!

Be creative!
Do any of your kids struggle in school with attention or staying focused? You may want to look into some of the oils they mention (InTune, Peppermint & Wild Orange) for keeping kids (and adults!) focused and on task. Couldn’t we all use a little more help with that occasionally? Or, do you have a child with anxious feelings or emotional concerns? They even have some oils for that, too! Balance is one oil that has been known to work really well for that.
It has a little something for everyone’s backpack. You’ll be glad you did! Help your children take on a new school year feeling rested, focused, positive, excited and ready for their new adventure!
