How to Reverse Tooth Decay Naturally

Did you know that it is possible to reverse tooth decay?

According to research done by Weston A. Price, your teeth can remineralize. If you've got weak teeth that are prone to cavities, take heart. They can become stronger.

Prevention is always the best step. However, if you already have some tooth decay, the key is to act quickly.

Don't delay and wait until it develops into a full blown cavity. Once your teeth starts wearing away, you may not be able to recover it.

Tooth Decay Prevention

Floss daily - Floss every single day and don't forget to floss between your teeth. Many people forget this important step, but when food collects between your teeth, it will decay leaving you with bad breath, sore gums, and tooth decay.

Rinse with salt water - Rinse your mouth out with salt water once a day or a few times a week. It helps to disinfect your mouth and keeps your gums healthy.

Avoid regular toothpaste - Regular brands of toothpaste are full of toxic chemicals. Click here to see some toothpaste ingredients.

Avoid toothpaste with glycerin - Most regular and natural brands of toothpaste contain glycerin. Glycerin leaves a coating on your teeth which prevents them from being remineralized. One natural, glycerin free product I like is ToothSoap. It gets your teeth clean and doesn't leave any coating behind.

Do not drink cola drinks - Cola drinks are high in phosphoric acid which dissolves your teeth! Next time a child you know loses a tooth, drop it into a glass of cola and see how little time it takes for it to completely melt away.

Brush often - Gently brush your teeth after every meal. If you can't, then at least try to rinse out your mouth after every meal.

Use a soft tooth brush - Use the softest toothbrush you can find. Try not to brush too hard. It can damage the enamel on your teeth.

Get on the two meal plan - People who eat only two meals a day have fewer cavities than those who eat more meals.

Eat a natural diet - A plant based diet of raw fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds helps to promote healthier teeth and gums.

Get regular sunlight exposure - Regular exposure to sunlight will help your body produce enough vitamin D naturally.

Natural Remedies to Reverse Tooth Decay

Remember that prevention is key! Do everything you can to prevent tooth decay. It's much easier to prevent than it is to reverse tooth decay or repair a cavity.

Here are some natural remedies that will promote the remineralization of your teeth:

Diet and Nutrition

Eat whole foods - Stick to a natural whole foods diet that is rich in vitamins and minerals. You especially need foods high in fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, E, and K.

Eat more calcium rich foods - Almonds, sesame seeds, figs, chickpeas, and dark leafy green vegetables are all high in calcium. If you find it difficult to get enough servings of dark leafy green vegetables, start taking AIM BarleyLife every day. It's full of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that will help you to build stronger teeth. These nutrients will also help to reverse tooth decay.

Eat mineral rich foods - Foods such as kelp, dulse, kale, pumpkin seeds, and blackstrap molasses are excellent choices.

Lifestyle

Avoid dental amalgams!!! - If you must have your teeth filled, avoid metal fillings. They are made from 50 - 70% mercury. Mercury is toxic!

I highly suggest that you read the book Mercury-Free: The Wisdom Behind the Global Consumer Movement to Ban "Silver" Dental Fillings by Dr. James Hardy. It will open your eyes about just how detrimental mercury is to your health. Have your dentist fill your teeth with composite resins instead of amalgam.

Use a glycerin-free product to brush your teeth - I like ToothSoap which is a natural soap made just for your teeth. It really does leave your mouth feeling much cleaner.

Do not use commercial brands of toothpaste - Click here to get a list of the unhealthy ingredients you'll find in commercial brands of toothpaste.

Brush after each meal - Using a soft toothbrush, gently brush your teeth with ToothSoap after every meal. This is one of the most important things you can do to reverse tooth decay because it will leave your teeth free to remineralize.

Limit your meals to just two a day - Less meals means a cleaner mouth because you are not constantly getting food on your teeth. The two meal plan is so much better for your stomach and digestion too!
