I thought I'd send along the latest findings from Bill Sardi
with his "34 Ways to Stay Healthy that Costs
Next to Nothing." I figure that with 34 different ways to
stay healthy, there ought to be something in here for everybody. In
section #5 on Teeth, I found an article that Sardi links to on the connection
between magnesium and dental health. On the link to the NCBI summary, it states that
That means that the greater the amount of magnesium in your blood, the longer your teeth will last in your mouth AND the harder your teeth will be. Without magnesium, your teeth will produce only soft enamel. Further, increased magnesium means fewer craters or fewer "probing depth[s]" in your teeth, fewer lost teeth or "less attachment loss," meaning that a greater number of teeth remain in your head. All this thanks to magnesium. Will your dentist ever tell you this? He can't. Or she can't. Or it can't. Magnesium supplements are a much better option than having to deal with that idiot in a white coat who asks you to lie prostrate in a chair and, after shooting you up with novocaine, commands you to say "Aaah."
increased serum Mg/Ca was significantly associated with reduced probing depth . . . , less attachment loss . . . , and a higher number of remaining teeth . . . . Subjects taking Mg drugs showed less attachment loss . . . and more remaining teeth than did their matched counterparts. These results suggest that nutritional magnesium supplements may improve periodontal health.

So more magnesium in your blood keeps your teeth.
Big deal, right? Big whoop! You already knew that,
right? Well, you might also want to know that applying magnesium onto
your toothbrush is also an effective way to remineralize your
teeth.
REMINERALIZATION THRU MAGNESIUM
Yep. First time I ever heard of remineralizing your teeth
was in 2013 and I thought it was a hoax. But it sounded like something
was possible. But the dentist was promoting Xylitol, a sugar-free,
sweetener found in gum, mouthwash, toothpaste, and other products for its
anti-bacterial capabilities. But it was still sugar. So the
recommendation to use Xylitol gum from a dentist meant most likely that this
was another dentist trying to sell me something to pay down his beach-front
condo and boat docked in Mazatlan instead of directing me to the nutritional
compounds that would nourish my teeth. [Mike, you're so
cynical.]
NUTRITION
With nutrition, we're never going to achieve corrective or
therapeutic levels of nutrients by eating the right foods unless you're eating
all day. Who has the time or the energy for that? To get daily
amounts of vitamin C, you need to eat like 3 oranges. Good luck with
that.
What really remineralizes teeth and corrects periodontal disease
is magnesium--magnesium that you ingest in the form of a supplement and
magnesium that you apply topically to your teeth.
But what about calcium, you ask? (You were thinking that,
weren't you?) You don't need to supplement with calcium since the dairy
industry fills up one to two aisles in your supermarket where folks get plenty
of cheese, milk, yogurt, ice cream, butter, and the list goes on . . . or does
it? So you're getting plenty of calcium already.
If you want hardened teeth, you'll want to use fluoride
toothpaste. The fluoride-free toothpastes were a craze that I bought into
because of reports of toxicity with fluoride. There is fluoride in
municipal water supplies (in your tap water) and that fluoride is probably
there to lower IQ more than it is to protect your teeth as the authorities, ahem,
claim. The amount of dental protection from fluoridated water is next to
nothing. So if it doesn't really protect people's teeth, then what the
heck is it doing in your tap water? Even worse perhaps than fluoride in the city water supply, if that weren't bad enough, is the chlorine
in the water. Over a lifetime, chlorinated water does raise the risk of
colon cancer. Thank God for the free market that bottles water. If you use only fluoride-free toothpaste,
it might make you feel like you're doing the right thing, but it render weak enamel and weak roots later on. So fluoride
toothpaste, my brothers and sisters, fluoride toothpaste.
One Dr. Carolyn Dean [whom
I've not followed] writes
I think the following report is even more amazing. “I want to tell you a wonderful thing about Magnesium. I had pyorrhea and gingivitis for years. When I started taking magnesium the pyorrhea and gingivitis cleared up. Then I noticed my right front cuspid was thinner than the left but there was also a diagonal chip in the left cuspid. I began a regimen of brushing my teeth with magnesium and within 3 months the tooth had remineralized. Both teeth are fine and the right cuspid that was thinner is now normal. It truly is a miracle mineral. I told my dentist about it but really, he didn’t pay attention. Professionals think it’s some kind of idiocy. When will they wake up?”
The type of magnesium to use on your toothbrush is magnesium oil. This is a supersaturated magnesium chloride (from seawater) in distilled water.
Not all magnesium is created equal, despite what Nancy Pelosi
says. Magnesium Oxide is ubiquitous. It's in all of the Magnesium
Complexes, and it is poorly absorbed, only about 4% of it is absorbed because
it is mainly a powerful laxative. Hello! The preferred forms of
magnesium are malate, magnesium chloride, and taurate. I've used Citrate
but learned just recently that it's not the best. My favorite magnesium
is Magtein, the brand name for Magnesium L-Threonate, which is great for the
central nervous system. Wow. I've tried the magnesium malate but
didn't like the effect for some reason. o I will try the taurate.
Final word, vitamin D hardens enamel.
Vitamin A supports tooth pulp.
Vitamin C feeds blood vessels that protects your
gums.
Add magnesium as a topical and keep your pearly whites shinin'
like the brightest stars in the universe.
