People think that existing tooth decay cannot be removed other than by drilling the tooth and placing a synthetic filling at the dentist.
That is not entirely true. Teeth have a natural ability to regenerate. If tooth decay is not yet very advanced, there is hope to heal it naturally.
There is a way to achieve this. However, you will have to make some changes to your diet.
Of course, diet alone will not be enough.
In addition, you will have to strictly maintain oral hygiene and brush your teeth thoroughly. Ideally 3 times a day, or after every meal.
And here are the promised 4 things you will need to change in your diet to get rid of tooth decay.
1. Consume foods that contain calcium, vitamins D, K2 and enzymes
Try to include more raw, unpasteurized dairy products in your diet if you have access to them (for example, you know someone who keeps cows or other milk animals at home).
Raw dairy products contain not only calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and vitamins D and K2, but also many beneficial enzymes that aid digestion and thus improve the bioavailability of those nutrients to the body.
In that form they are ideal for strengthening dental health and the overall health of the oral cavity.
These can be organic butter, goat milk or raw cheeses. Add turmeric, licorice and garlic to them, which also have a positive effect on cavities.
If you do not have access to raw dairy products, at least a partial solution is traditional plain but sweetened yogurts.
2. Avoid sugar and sweets
If you have cavities, avoid sugar at all costs. The reason is that sugar directly feeds the bacteria living in your mouth that cause tooth decay.
The result is then damage to the enamel and the spread of tooth decay.
Avoid sugary drinks, cake, pastries, candies and similar products that contain sugar.
3. Oil rinsing of the mouth
This is a technique that has been used in folk medicine for a very long time. It is beneficial not only for the teeth, but also for bleeding gums and reducing bad breath in the mouth.
It removes pathogenic bacteria from the oral cavity that are responsible for many problems.
Proceed as follows:
- Take 1 tablespoon of sunflower, coconut or sesame oil.
- Put the oil into your mouth and rinse your mouth with it for 5 minutes.
- After finishing, spit out the oil and rinse your mouth with lukewarm water.
- Finally, brush your teeth in the usual way with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Rinsing the mouth with salt water also helps.
4. Remove phytic acid from the diet
This acid causes problems with enzymes and minerals in the body. It is mainly found in legumes, seeds and nuts.
Nuts and seeds are indeed very healthy, but if you have dental problems, limit them, or soak them in water for several hours before consumption.
Another option is to consume these foods fermented, which removes the phytic acid from them.
