To treat loose teeth, and injuries caused by external objects, where other medicines are ineffective, and the teeth are about to fall out.
*Galla Chinensis* (Wubeizi), *Pheretima* (Dilong, dried earthworm) (remove soil, lightly stir-fry, half tael each).
Grind the above into a fine powder. First, rub the tooth roots with fresh ginger (*Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens*), then apply the medicinal powder to the affected area. Do not bite hard food within five days. If a tooth is newly fractured or fallen out, while hot, stick the viscous paste into the alveolar socket and attach it to the tooth, which will make it firm as before.
To treat loose teeth, and red/yellow beard hair. After one dose, the beard turns black and teeth become firm; this is very effective.
Fresh Ginger (*Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens*) (half jin, extract juice), *Rehmanniae Radix* (Dihuang) (one jin, wash clean, grind finely, extract natural juice, retain the dregs).
Take ten stalks of non-borax soap pod (*Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus*), scrape off the black skin and strings. Dip the aforementioned medicine juice onto the soap pods, roast slowly over low fire until dry, dip again and roast again, until all the medicine juice is used up. Put the previous medicine dregs together into a porcelain bottle. Roast over fire until "preserving nature" (carbonized but retaining efficacy), then grind into powder. When teeth are loose, rub the powder on the gums. If the beard is yellow, use a needle applicator to hold three qian of medicinal powder, mix with soup/water. After three days, dip the medicine juice to rub the beard. Use before sleep; by early morning the next day, it will be black. Use three times over three nights; the beard will turn black as lacquer, very effective.
[For the above method]: Wrap fresh *Rehmanniae Radix* in cotton, suck on the teeth, chew, and let the juice soak the tooth roots. Apply four or five times during the day and at night, and swallow the juice for ten days; this is highly beneficial. If teeth protrude, chewing them is also acceptable.
To treat toothache, swollen and loose gums, and pain caused by moving the teeth.
[For the above method]: Use *Tribuli Fructus* (Jili) grown in soil, remove the spines, use raw, amount not limited. Grind into coarse powder. Take five qian per dose, decoct in half a bowl of light fermented grain water for seven or eight boils. Remove dregs, add a pinch of salt powder, rinse mouth frequently while warm. There are no other dietary restrictions. Although the number of herbs is small, single-herb prescriptions take effect rapidly. Alternatively, burn the root to ash and apply to the loose tooth to secure it.
[For the above method]: Take half a jin of Black Tin (*Stannum*), melt it into liquid in a large pot. Immediately add ash from mulberry branches. Grind with a willow wood pestle until sandy. Sieve through fine silk cloth to obtain powder. Every morning morning, brush teeth as usual. Then rinse mouth with warm water into a basin. Wash eyes with this water; it can brighten the eyes, darken the beard and hair, and treat various eye diseases.
