INFLAMMATORY Dental Advice

Don't listen to the OP. Holy fuck what is wrong with some of you nutjobs? If you fail to get a root canal then have the tooth PULLED. You do not fuck with an infected tooth. I delayed a root canal for almost 7 years and treating a reoccurring infection about every other 2 years. Last time around I had a serious enough infection that almost started eating into my jawbone. Listen to your doctors advice and leave it untreated at your own risk. Why anyone trusts medical advice coming from tin hat wearers is beyond me.

Duh.

He was concerned that they would file the MATCHING tooth, the one ABOVE it, too.

Is that clear now? It was clear in his writing too by the way.

Disregard this shill

OP didn't tell you not to get it pulled. He recommended that, and a denture, instead of a root canal or an implant.

i have regrown a cavity

No, you still brush them )

your welcome,and im glad this type of info mad to Naturalnews and to here,ive been researching for a little while and its been a very 'fringe'subject.
kudos to you Ralph-the house dog.

What's your opinion of "dental cleaning"?

I went most of my life without it. When I went to the dentist they would brush my teeth with their more abrasive toothpaste, and that was it.

The past 5 or 10 years my dentists (and wife) have been pushing thorough "dental cleaning" which takes a half hour to an hour and hurts like hell. I feel like I've had a brawl in my mouth by the time it's over.

Is that a good procedure or not?

I agree with everything you are saying, OP. Dentists have ruined my teeth and I now have lower dentures which cost me $6,000 and I need to get upper dentures soon which will cost around $8,000.

If you think you do echinacea/goldenseal will help. Colloidal silver will help as well. Just read up on them before using.

Imo, yes, dentists and hygienists are trained a certain way and they impart the information they're given to patients.

However, there are, I believe, dentists who are more conservative and do take into account alternative ways of thinking and therefore they don't just state everything in a definitive, narrow-minded way.

I believe that people can certainly benefit from using baking soda and sea salt to clean their teeth and gums, and use various supplements for health, BUT there are times when one must seek the help of a dentist, most notably things like serious decay and infection.

In these times, it's very hard to find people in the medical fields who are honest and fair, and so the real key is to find someone like that who also understands moderation.

OP - to clarify, my reply was not to you directly, but rather in response to the article itself.

Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap! Isn't that still soap?

We have a bunch of the baby-mild (light blue label) in the house, would that work the same?

How exactly did they "ruin" your teeth?

Sea salt is purported to help pull out infection, but if someone thinks they have a serious infection, I would not advise that they merely rely on this or anything else, as opposed to seeing a dentist.

Also, baking soda and sea salt are alleged to help tighten and strengthen gums. So this could be beneficial - after one has had a good cleaning to get bacteria out of pockets - to help keep the gums closed and keep out future bacteria.

I've never heard that the wisdom teeth contain stem cells that help other teeth regenerate. Link or anything?

I am in my mid 50's and still have all my teeth, and for about five years dentists have been advising me to get all my wisdom teeth removed, because one of them is getting very weak. If you get the top one removed you should get the bottom one removed too, and then if the right side once are gone pull the left ones too for symmetry. So because of one tooth, pull 4.

I've been procrastinating. I know they have experimentally been able to re-bud and regrow teeth in a lab or something, I've been waiting for that technology to show up at the dentist's office but now I don't hear about it any more! I didn't want them to kill my roots for those teeth if I could wait and regrow them.

So what's left? A diet of just pills?

CORRECT...ACID DESTROYS TOOTH ENAMEL.

A mixture of water and little [1 teaspoon] baking soda rinse will neutralize the acidity in your mouth. And it's dirt cheap. Drink a glass and it'll take care of acid reflux also.

Interesting thread. 5*s.

I had an abscess tooth and couldn't get to my dentist (female) for the last 5 years. Called a friend who owns a small vitamin type store here in Scottsdale Az. He had on hand some liquid vitamin C he creates himself. I used the liquid C for a 24 hours before I could get to my dentist. When I did get in finally the abscess tooth had healed. My dentist wanted to know how this could be. Told her and she wanted to know how to make the formula. You can make it yourself, watch this video. The formula and how to is in the description. I take a 1oz. shot 2 times daily.

PS: Never get a Root Canal you are introducing poisons directly into your system. My dentist had to agree with me about this fact.

Coconut oil is excellent for your gums and brushing with it regularly can eliminate bleeding, sore gums. The oil kills the bacteria that are responsible for gingivitis - and if you have gingivitis, you might want to massage some coconut oil into your gums regularly, in addition to using it in your toothpaste. Brushing your tongue with the oil helps with thrush, a fungal problem localized in the mouth, and to boot, coconut oil has been found to stop and even reverse some tooth decay.

do you know why she says you shouldn't floss?

How do you reminieralize your teeth and how can you make a cavity cured? I would appreciate some links if anyone has them. I really enjoyed this post!

Great info, OP!

I eat all that stuff and my teeth are fine. Just rinse with water after eating.
