How to heal a cavity naturally and nutritionally without the need for 'drilling and filling'

I found a thread here once talking about oil of oregano and I found it interesting but had no real opportunity to try it.

Now, I don't know if this will work for a full-blown cavity, but last summer the opportunity came when I had a tooth that was bothering me a bit with very painful sensitivity such as you get when you have a cracked tooth and I thought "what the hell, I have nothing to lose" so I got some oil of oregano from the local vitamin shoppe.

Twice a day I placed 3-4 drops directly on the tooth. Held it in mouth for about 2 minutes while the saliva glands kick in. Then as people recommended, I swished it around trying to pull it through teeth and then rinsed. Some suggested that you place a drop under your tongue and hold it there and then swish. Whatever works for you. The idea is to get the oil to the affected area.

About 3-4 days later the pain and sensitivity had eased to negligible. Within a week the pain was gone altogether. I was amazed. I continued for another week to make it two weeks total. Today, I still take it every week or two as a preventative and I have not had any problems with the tooth since.

I don't know how it works, I just know that it does.

Now I just wonder why dentists don't recommend this as a treatment. ....wait... no I don't.

I heard of a man that had a stroke, He lost all ability to speak. He began juicing greens everyday and veggies. He began to heal and speak again..

Another man with the same stroke just ate donuts and bread and meat and no veggies. He succumbed to another stroke a year later.

Do you brush your teeth with it or just swallow it? How much do you take a day?

Cavities are not caused by nutritional deficiencies.

The entire premise of this article is flawed.

Cavities are caused by bacteria that secrete acidic waste products onto the enamel. Teeth are different than bones in the fact that a tooth is not made up of living cells but are predominantly a crystalline structure known as hydroxyapatite.

Please don't believe this utter BS.

I am aware of that now that I make natural stews from my organic garden.

Now, like a fool, I drink my coffee with chocolate mix (refined sugar) for a few weeks till my teeth start to hurt.

Then I switch to coffee without sugar (or honey, after the fact honey is not good for teeth either), and eat stews made with lots of leafy green vegetables. And my teeth heal and all the pain goes away.

What a fool I am.

you need to get a grip and do some real research.

Go and talk to a well respected dentist in your area.

one over the age of 60.


you will seriously damage your body by not having any flouride.

flouride occurs naturally in groundwater, some water supply companies literally have to reduce the amount of natural flouride in the ground water before serving it to the public.


since time has begun humans have ingested natural calcium flouride from groundwater sources. (wells, springs)

Calcium Fluoride, #1, is the Cell Salt that strengthens bones and teeth. Calcium Fluoride works by bonding calcium from the saliva to the enamel of the teeth. Calcium Fluoride is an important mineral found in bones, skin and teeth.



do everyone here a favor and stop spreading the flouride myth and stop believing it was used in nazi germany to make people docile.



in a few short years you will see that if you are not drinking flouridated water, your teeth will fall out of your fuggin head.



mark my words son.

Keep believing and supporting those who know the research, but choose the route of more money in their pockets at your expense. But, for those of us who have actually had great results, we choose differently.

True.

And for these very same reasons, teeth can be "healed", or recalcified, through a "proper" diet, which generally eliminates sugars, acids, and wheat flour, and which emphasizes leafy green vegetables.

It is true that there are cavity causing bacteria, without which we would not get cavities, but with regular cleaning and a "proper" diet (not the type of diet most people are used to), those bacteria are only part of the equation.

Your teeth can suffer from nutritional deficiencies. So it is good to clean up the diet.

The key word here is NATURAL flouride. Look up what the flouride is that they douse your body with.

Metabolic acidosis.

Heal the body and heal the teeth.

you should be the one to look this up as i have already stated.

you are rediculous. "douse your body with" LOLOLOL

im sure ur against taking flouride water showers as well freak.

flourine is flourine there is not a way to change the element whatsoever.

most of the time its flourine gas added to the water.

but sometimes they dont add anything instead they reduce the natural flouride to a safe level.

if your talking about sodium flouride or stannous flouride, well they should have taught you early on in your childhood not to swallow the toothpaste.

either way you are making a fool out of yourself.

^^^ in 5 years or less your teeth will decalcify and you will know why.

because you dont drink flouridated water i guarantee

Don't be "rediculous"

Calcium Flouride is beneficial to teeth as all studies show. Sodium Flouride is a poison. The stuff in the public water is sodium flouride.

Bullshit.If we all listened to uneducated idiots like you we'd all be dead

that is not a fact.

you are uneducated on water in general.

teeth "heal", if there is still is a minimal matrix for mineral deposits. it's a fine line between a crack in the matrix of a teeth, and a tiny cavity, but somewhere there is the border of what can fix naturally and what not. i'm not sure, if i'm making this clear - i hope you understand.

the right ratio of vitamin d3, vitamin a and vitamin k2 will change your saliva to enable it to replenish the minerals in the teeth instead of taking them away.

so eat lots of salmon and dark green cabbage!

Great info, OP.

I recently had a trip to the dentist for a filling. I asked her if it was possible for a tooth to re-mineralize, and her answer was, "Well, not really.. But if you apply A LOT of fluoride diligently to the area, a very small cavity can sometimes be fixed." I then made a point not to roll my eyes or respond with more than an "Ohh, ok."

As an aside, said filling fell out while flossing about a month later so I went elsewhere to get it fixed.

The fluoride they put in water is a man made compound and is usually made in China.

How are you still ignorant about this?

And is powder form, not gas.

if you would like to see a test to prove this

then take a tooth and place it in some liquid that has the same ph as your saliva.. see how long it takes to dissolve, and realise that if your teeth were not being constantly replenished with the right saliva ph your teeth would have dissolved long ago.


most people teeth damage is done as they sleep, the saliva ph changes to acidic in the night, by the time you have woken up the saliva will have taken all that days worth of re-enameling away, if you dont eat the right food.

what about regrowing teeth?

I never drink tap water and my teeth are perfect.
I brush my teeth once a day on a morning and use orange juice, (freshly squeezed) as mouth wash twice a day, just half a glass to mouthwash and swallow.

The key to keeping your teeth in good condition is not to use toothpaste, seriously as it has abrasives in it which damage the enamel.

Your own mouth's natural saliva keeps harmful bacteria away as long as you use a soft toothbrush.
Some people brush their teeth after every meal, which is silly as it weakens the enamel just like constantly polishing a table or floor fades it.

When a dentist tells you that flossing and brushing regular is good for you...that alone should set alarm bells ringing as they are only interested in making money at the end of the day.

You can use any fruit to mouth wash with.
Never floss your teeth because all you are doing ,is rubbing it against your gums, giving you much more chance of getting a gum related infection which can cost you your teeth or an abscess.

If you get a piece of meat or something stuck, then by all means floss that bit out, yet don;t do it for the sake of it.

If your tongue feels horrible and furry, eat a pickled onion and mush it around your mouth, then have a drink of fresh orange or other fruit juice, or eat a piece of fruit.

Avoid check ups at the dentist because they actually case your decay by picking at your teeth.

sorry retard but here its flourine gas.

you call me ignorant when you really dont know what your talking about.

just stfu and go drink some unflouridated water so your teeth will fall out.

no point in me arguing with u or anyone else, they will simply learn one day on their own. you will see decalcification and you will know i was right, you were wrong.

no you still wont know, you will believe it was from china and is a poisonnnnnnnnnn chinese flouride poisonnnnn.

hey op or anyone else that can commment/reply...

i have chipped teeth. they are still alive. what should i do to repair these? is there evidence that my chipped teeth can regrow/recalcity themselves? i had a dentist build some sort of ceramic on the chipped teeth and the ceramic has slowly worn away over the years

also going into the dr this thursday to get my first cavity filled. it's a very shallow cavity. would not require drilling of the root or anything. i don't have insurance. so i imagine i'm going to spend a hefty dollar on this. would it be a cheaper approach to go with the remedies posted here? i did go to wellness moma and read the articles there.

so questions and a final question reposted as follows:

what should i do to repair these chipped teeth? oil pull and the remedies posted?

can teeth actually regrow/recalcify themselves with badly chipped but intact teeth?

is this a fiscally sound cheaper remedy than going to a dentist?

and finally my question to the posters who use the remedies: how often or when was the last time you went to a dentist?

thank you for your time and considerations

Uneducated? That's a real laugh.

Here is the section on Wikipedia about it;

Implementation

Fluoride monitor (at left) in a community water tower pumphouse, Minnesota, 1987.

Fluoridation does not affect the appearance, taste, or smell of drinking water.[1] It is normally accomplished by adding one of three compounds to the water: sodium
fluoride, fluorosilicic acid, or sodium fluorosilicate.

Sodium fluoride (NaF) was the first compound used and is the reference standard.[31] It is a white, odorless powder or crystal; the crystalline form is preferred if manual handling is used, as it minimizes dust.[32] It is more expensive than the other compounds, but is easily handled and is usually used by smaller utility companies.[33]

Fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) is an inexpensive liquid by-product of phosphate fertilizer manufacture.[31] It comes in varying strengths, typically 23–25%; because it contains so much water, shipping can be expensive.[32] It is also known as hexafluorosilicic, hexafluosilicic, hydrofluosilicic, and silicofluoric acid.[31]

Sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) is the sodium salt of fluorosilicic acid. It is a powder or very fine crystal that is easier to ship than fluorosilicic acid. It is also known as sodium silicofluoride.[32]
