Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang, 生姜) half jin, Rehmanniae Radix (Shengdi, 生地黄) one jin (wash clean separately, grind to extract natural juice, reserve dregs).
Take ten stalks of non-boring Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus (Zaojiao, 皂角), scrape off black skin and fibers, dip the aforementioned juices onto the soap pods, roast slowly over low fire until yellow, until the juice is absorbed. Place both the juice-soaked pods and the reserved dregs into a porcelain jar, calcine using fire while preserving their nature, then pulverize. For loose teeth, rub the powder on the gums. For yellow facial hair, place three qian of powder in a silver container, mix with hot water, dip facial hair with the solution before sleep; by next morning it will be black. Use three times over three nights; the color becomes black as lacquer, very effective. This formula is commonly used and has proven reliable repeatedly.

Mix evenly; best prepared on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Apply medicine to the tooth root. After some time, wipe away with fingers, then apply the following dressing.
Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风), Schizonepetae Spica (Jingjie, 荆芥) each 5 wen (unit likely error in original text, retained as is), Frankincense (Ruxiang, 乳香) 15 wen.
Pulverize the above and rub on the extracted tooth site, stuffing a small amount into the empty socket.
I saw these two formulas used by a Daoist priest selling tooth-extraction services, who earned three tael-guan per day. I bribed him heavily to obtain them; they are miraculous.
[Worldly Transmission] Tooth-Falling Formula:
Use ten taels of horse meat, equal parts of Realgar (Xinshi, 信石) and Crotonis Fructus (Badou, 巴豆). Slice the horse meat, mix with powdered Realgar and Crotonis Fructus, place in a stone vessel, wait for worms to emerge, dry by roasting, and pulverize. Squeeze a little blood from the painful tooth site, apply the powder, and the tooth will fall out immediately; miraculous.
[Bencao] Method for extracting teeth without touching them.
Aconiti Radix (Caowu, 草乌), Piperis Longi Fructus (Bibo, 荜茇) each 1.5 liang, Zanthoxyli Fructus (Chuanjiao, 川椒), Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin, 细辛) each 3 liang.
Pulverize finely. Take a small amount each time to rub on the affected area; the tooth will fall out naturally.
