Any astringent such as oak bark helps tighten tissue.

Rosemary Gladstar has some great oral health recipes in her Family
Herbal book as well.

"No ears to listen and no speech, mountains, rivers, grasses and trees,
the hidden language knows the heavens, knows Earth.

Coming and going, the passing birds don’t stay in one place,
freely, only living."
  ~Fukuoka Masanobu

You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest
and I smile, and am silent,
and even my soul remains quiet;
It lives in the other world
which no one owns.
The peach trees blossom.
The water flows.     Li Po (701-761)
