अधिदन्तकमालिप्तं यदा क्षारेण जर्जरम् । कृमिदन्तमिवोत्पाट्य तद्वच्चोपचरेत्तदा ॥ १६ ॥
Adhidanta should be given a coating of Kshara (caustic alkali); when it becomes loose, it should be pulled out like pulling out an infested tooth and treated in the same way.
अनवस्थितरक्ते च दग्धे व्रण इव क्रिया । अहिंसन् दन्तमूलानि दन्तेभ्यः शर्करां हरेत् ॥ १७ ॥
If the bleeding does not stop, it (the site) should be burnt by fire (thermal cautery) and then treated as an ulcer. Sharkara should be removed from the teeth without harming the roots of the teeth,
क्षारचूर्णैर्मधुयुतैस्ततश्च प्रतिसारयेत् । कपालिकायामप्येवं हर्षोक्तं च समाचरेत् ॥ १८ ॥
then a paste of powder of kshara (Alkali of Hordeum vulgare) mixed with honey should be applied. In Kapalika also,the same treatment should be done and also that described in Dantaharsha.
जयेद्विस्रावणैः स्विन्नमचलं कृमिदन्तकम् । स्निग्धैश्चालेपगण्डूषनस्याहारैश्चलापहैः ॥ १९ ॥
Krimidanta which is not shaky should be managed by fomentation and draining its contents out; application of paste, holding liquid in the mouth, nasal medication, and food which are unctuous and mitigating Vata should be made use of.
गुडेन पूर्णं सुषिरं मधूच्छिष्टेन वा दहेत् । सप्तच्छदार्कक्षीराभ्यां पूरणं कृमिशूलजित् ॥ २० ॥
The cavity of the teeth should be filled with heated jaggery/treacle or bee's wax so as to burn (cauterize); filling the cavity with the milky sap of saptacchada (Alstonia scholaris) or arka (Calotropis gigantea) cures the pain due to worms (dental caries).
