I have a deformity in one tooth that's like a dent into it. It's not a cavity, but some plaque does accumulate there. The dentist wants to even it out by adding a filling. I said OK without thinking about it much. Does anyone know if there's a "holistic dentistry" type alternative to filling in the dent? If not, what sort of filling material should I get?

why would you mess with it if it's not causing problems? i wouldn't get the filling. just my 2 cents. i don't think im gonna go to my dentist anymore. what's the point? i would think it's pretty hard to get cavities eating this way...

Your best best is to find a holistic dentist and get them to test a range of different materials on you to determine which one your body agrees with most. One option is biocompatible composite- Diamond Crown and Diamond Link material, which is regularly used in replacement of amalgams.

I also have an issue like paleophil l). But I stop going to dentist right after my RPD. Hoping some miracles can take place. I have a loose tooth (the bone decay), now I don't feel that's moving. My tooth pain is gone for good and mouth never gets dirty as before while I'm just using baking soda.

Now that you mention it, I don't wake up with a dry mouth anymore like I used to, unless I eat too much carbs like raw honey the day before. Then I tend to sleep with my mouth open and end up with a dry mouth.
