Teeth - excessive wear & root canal
« on: June 21, 2012, 03:38:04 am »
I went to the dentist and they say my rear teeth has excessive wear and loosing enamel - since I don't drink soda they think the reason is night time acid reflux and teeth grinding.

Hopefully RAVF will help with this invisible acid reflux during sleep.

Anyone else have experience in helping their teeth survive longer?

I also have a root canal filled on a front tooth and just read how Weston Price thought these could harbour bad bugs which could cause headaches, infections and even cancer.

Has anyone had health improvements from removing a dead tooth?
My wife wants me to have it removed to see if it fixes my headaches, but I am thinking a good RAVF diet would be most likely to restrict glucose to the bad bugs living in the dead tooth, while activating immune system to keep them at bay.

I've had a large number of visits to the dentist for all the usual reasons. This all came to a grinding ;D halt when I started eating raw paleo with dairy.

I was slated for some uber expensive periodontal work. However that's all out the window.

You can back off eating fruits as they will cause dental pain and general all around teeth and gum 'rot' ;D.

I suggest you try bone meal and vitamin D softgel supplements.

Both of those helped with my tooth sensitivity.

I also recommend scallops (not 'wet' scallops, 'dry' ones--dry means they weren't treated with sodium metabisulfite), dark leafy greens, and brushing your teeth with coconut oil. 

Oil pulling with coconut oil is good, too.

i've heard that acidic fruit juice, like orange juice can damage your teeth.
i think it softens your enamel

so if you drink it, you may want to wait a little before brushing
