Remineralize your teeth with magnesium, D, and A. Dump the Xylitol

For years I'd been looking for just the right treatment for healthy teeth. I initially thought that fluoride-free toothpaste was a good place to start, so I used that for a few years only to find years later a couple if cracked teeth and loose fillings that fell out.  I don't know that I am in a better position today, but I think I am.  One product I'd read about early on was Xylitol, a sugar-free substitute that also fought oral bacteria to keep cavities to a minimum.  So I began chewing Xylitol gum.  It was refreshing but, truth be told, I really didn't like the funny film it left in my mouth and on my teeth.  I began the Xylitol on the recommendations of Dr. Ellie Phillips.  But the problem with focusing on just your mouth or just your teeth is that you ignore the connection that the biome in your mouth has with the biome of your digestive tract, of which your mouth is just the beginning.  So I stopped consuming the Xylitol after a week but saw it advertised everywhere and included in all mints, gums, and more, which I assume he was eating on behalf of a score of others throughout the day.  It wasn't until I saw this that it confirmed my concerns.  Though the target audience is dogs, it is also directed at dog owners:

Then there's this.

The guy who really came to my rescue was Bill Sardi, who the world lost recently.  He was such a loving, careful, but fearless guide.  With his "34 Ways to Stay Healthy," Bill pointed me to Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, ND. who recommends brushing your teeth with magnesium.  I'd had other conversations will Sardi regarding teeth.  No one was more helpful than Bill.  It was like having your own private doctor whom you could get a reply to any health-related question you had. And he was a workhorse.  Writing articles for publication at LewRockwell, conducting interviews with Martie Whittekin at HBN, doing hours of strenuous research online, and then answering everybody's emails.  I loved him, and I miss him.  

Last year, I asked him, "What can I take to keep more teeth in my head?  Thank you."  His reply was, "Boost testosterone.  12mg boron," then added not one but two articles linked in the email. Just amazed that he would go to such effort to help me, which I presume he was doing with a score of others throughout the day.  A true Christian man.  What's interesting is that I had considered boron a tooth enamel supplement but was waved off that conclusion a year earlier by someone else.
