« on: September 21, 2017, 05:02:23 am »The most important steps for good tooth health are
* good diet
* antibacterial measures, as caries are just bacteria, so reducing the bacteria reduces caries. Of course, nobody ever tells you this, especially not your dentist!
To reduce caries bacteria, use
a) Xylitol
b) chlorhexidine mouthwash (alcohol free, forte or normal, what you prefer). I guess 1 x per week is sufficient. Use it before sleep, do not swallow, spit it out and let it rest on teeth, aka do not rinse mouth with water afterwards. Adhere EXACTLY to the instructions in the package insert! For example DO NOT use it longer than exactly 60 seconds. If you do not use it correctly, there is a certain danger of permanent color changes of your teeth. I have been using it for months by now and experienced no discoloration whatsoever. This stuff sounds dangerous but is not, as the body does NOT absorb it, theoretically you could even swallow it and it would simply pass through, the body simply does not absorb it (except very tiny amounts which are not dangerous even if swallowed). Every time you use it, caries count is set to zero, and this is the big benefit, because this means all caries damage stops (for a certain amount of time). Many dentists know all this and dont tell their patients.
A few more helpful things are using a good Water-Pick (like Waterpik WP 100E) and put some drops of natural etheric oil in every mouthwash. Also do oil pulling (for example with cold pressed sunflower oil or extra virgin olive oil). Check out Ulla Schmidts "Healing teeth naturally" internet site
P.S.: Another good stuff is blis K12 salivarius...this can be used in tandem with xylitol, but NOT with chlorhexidine mouthwash. So you either use blis k12 and xylitol or chlorhexidine mouthwash and xylitol.
