TEETH

First, use fluoride toothpaste.  Ignore what the fearmongers say about fluoride.  Yes, if you ingest lots and lots and lots of fluoride, you might experience some deleterious symptoms but not in the tiny amounts you get from fluoride toothpaste.  

Second, spray liquid magnesium on your toothbrush just before you brush.  Magnesium in conjunction with vitamin D hardens your enamel.  You want strong, hard, durable teeth?  Use magnesium.  Check out this important paragraph from Bill Sardi in his "34 Ways to Stay Healthy."  When it comes to solutions for tooth care, I am looking for things that are easy and simple, not complicated like the intersection of acupuncture meridians or the horrors of root canals.  I want to preserve as many of my teeth as possible.  We're not all born with the same amount of calcium or magnesium or phosphorous to stave off tooth decay or tooth loss.  Nor are we all presented with the same information or the same methods of care.  From Bill Sardi

Teeth: dental enamel is hardened by vitamin D. Cavities develop in the winter when your dental enamel is soft due to lack of sun exposure combined with eating sweets.  You won’t hear of a single dentist who recommends vitamin D for his patients.  Water fluoridation is reported to reduce the number of decayed teeth by 35%.  But that is of modest effect.  Kids are still getting plenty of cavities over time.  Direct topical application of fluoride appears to be more effective.

Magnesium deficiency is associated with poor dental health.  For already eroded teeth, you might think of brushing your teeth with magnesium.  One thing your dentist may not tell you (he/she is probably clueless about this) is that without magnesium, only soft enamel can be formed.  Magnesium may even heal already decayed teeth.  Liquid magnesium chloride (preferred form of mag) is available to apply to a toothbrush.

Third, supplement with vitamin D.  Vitamin D hardens enamel.  

Fat-soluble vitamin A supports tooth pulp.  

Vitamin C keeps your gums healthy.  

DO NOT PAY FOR BRACES.  DO NOT BUY BRACES.  STAY AWAY FROM ORTHODONTISTS.  
Why?  Well, to apply braces to your teeth, the orthodontist has to extract a few teeth that you were born with.  Do not agree to this.  You want to keep all the teeth you were born with.  All of them.  Once you remove any teeth forcibly, you compromise your jaw bone, and then your teeth, later on, begin to move because of that vacant space.  Your teeth move throughout your lifetime.  And only older folks like myself have this knowledge because we've experienced it.  And I am not talking about an experience that ONLY happens to me or ONLY happens to oldsters.  It happens to everybody.  Without sounding like me cursing your future, it will happen to you.  Think about the hundreds of thousands or millions of times that we chew from eating.  That chewing, that movement causes your teeth to move.  They move LESS if there is no space from extracted teeth.  DO NOT BUY OR GET OR PAY FOR BRACES.  You've been warned.  Further, you won't need braces in the long-run.  Your teeth will reshape according to how often you eat, how you chew, and how you take care of them.  A one-time purchase of braces WILL NOT GIVE YOU A LIFETIME OF PERFECT TEETH.  That's the sales pitch from orthodontists from all across the city, state, and nation.  Everywhere.  DO NOT BUY THE PROPAGANDA.  By extracting just a few teeth, the nearby teeth change their growth direction.  The roots shrink because you've interrupted the blood and nutrient supply to surrounding teeth.  And the vacant space where your healthy teeth once were fixed now becomes a pit for surrounding teeth, particularly those teeth with fillings, to lean and fall into that crevice.  It sounds dramatic because it is dramatic.  You will feel lousy ten to twenty years later for having had the procedure of tooth extraction in preparation for braces.  And your orthodontist will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Does it work?  

RESOURCES
Dr. Ellie.

Here is one place to start to look for tooth care resources.

And by all means, DO NOT HAVE YOUR WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTED. 

WHAT TO AVOID?
Avoid direct contact of acids on your teeth, acids like ascorbic acids, citric acids, and others that can dissolve enamel.   

AVOID Mercury of any kind in your mouth, on your teeth, or in your body.  Putting mercury amalgam fillings into your teeth means that you're putting mercury an inch or two to your brain.

Dentists Dr. Philip Kozlow and Dr. Joshua Rowell were in the studio to talk about pediatric dentistry, the Fuji Protocol (a special non-metallic restoration technique), and Carivu (a way to determine if there is decay without using x-ray). The IAOMT organization and dentist search. Earlier interview where Dr. Kozlow talked about many other dental factors and mercury removal.

How to Treat an Abscessed Tooth.  

Why is it so hard to find competent dental care?  And why is the answer to most dental problems root canals or crowns?  Is this what dentists are taught in dental school?  Off with the tooth, or to quote Robert Frost, "Out, Out" with the tooth.  No dentist ever makes a serious effort to save a tooth, regardless of its condition.  Which means there is no reversing of an abscessed tooth.  There is no reversing of dental caries.  It's only plugging them up that is ever offered.  

Regarding his analgesic remedies for the swelling, I do not recommend any of those.  Instead, take vitamin C.  Vitamin C will relieve inflammation.  It is used to quell sepsis in end-of-life patients who are hospitalized.

OIL PULLING.  Is it worth the effort?  To clean out infected teeth, maybe. 

CAN CRACKED OR CAVITIED TEETH REGROW?
from the Astoria Dental Spa . . .

Tooth enamel is the hardest and most highly mineralized tissue in your body. However, it is not a living tissue, which prohibits your teeth from being regenerated or regrown.

Once your tooth enamel is chipped or eroded, it is gone for good! Our bodies are amazing in that they can heal and repair many parts of us: Broken bones grow back together, cut skin heals and trimmed hair and nails grow long again. But no matter how well our bodies can repair itself, it cannot regrow tooth enamel. 

But you can remineralize your teeth, which might help to heal tiny fissures in the crowns of your teeth.  One way to remineralize your teeth is with magnesium.  I use a magnesium oil spray on my teeth before I brush. 

The Astoria Dental Spa did offer some interesting and useful advice for caring for a cracked tooth.  

Place a small piece of wax or sugar-free gum over any jagged edges to protect the inside of your mouth.
