NATURAL TOOTH CARE: PREVENT AND REVERSE CAVITIES

The only way to fix a cavity is to scrape it out and fill it, right? Wrong. Thats what your dentist tells you, and what he or she may actually believe. But the reality is that we can heal and strengthen our teeth from the inside out using proper nutrition and alternative care practices.

Despite the fact that modern culture has separated dental from medical practices to the point that even insurance coverage is separate, our teeth are still just as much a part of our bodies as our blood, bones and organs! Your teeth are positioned at the end of a very long and elaborate system of nerves, cells, and tissues that work to keep them healthy and strong. In fact, some of the first signs of disease are found in the teeth and gums Im sure youve heard the news that gum health is linked to cardiovascular disease!

It makes absolutely no sense to separate dental health from the rest of your bodys wellbeing.

We, as a culture, are doing it wrong and it shows. According to research published by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the numbers show an alarming upward trend in tooth decay since the 1990s 1 :

42% of children aged 2 11 have dental caries in their primary teeth, and 21% have decay in permanent teeth

42% of adults aged 35 44 have decayed, missing, or filled teeth

MOST SHOCKING: There is only a 1% drop in decayed, missing, or filled teeth when the demographic drops below the poverty line.

The U.S. spends over $20 billion per year on dental care.

With the level of technology available to us getting increasingly more advanced, and access to dental care rising along with availability of knowledge regarding tooth health, why isnt the rate of cavitation dropping? Interestingly enough, that answer could be right in front of us: diet. It cant possibly be coincidence that the rise in cavities runs parallel to the rise in processed food consumption in our grab-no-go dining culture.

If you are eating what you consider a healthy diet, but you have a new cavity each time you go to the dentist, its probably not because you have poor dental hygiene. Ninety percent of American adults have cavities in almost half of their teeth. The percentage of kids teeth with cavities is rising at an alarming ratewhich makes no sense if its just a matter of brushing and flossing.

Dr. William Bowen, D.D.S., Ph.D., Professor of Dentistry at the University of Rochester, is an internationally recognized authority on tooth decay. In an article released in 2000, he shows his alarm regarding the rise in tooth decay3 : "Ninety-five percent of adults have cavities. Some people have the idea that the problem has been solved, but that's ridiculous. There is no other disease I know of where it's considered success when 50 percent or more of the population still has the disease."

Dental caries in children were steadily declining through the 1970s and 80s, but research now shows that cavities have risen drastically in recent yearsjumping from an average of two cavities in the mouths of ten year olds to three!

Thats an increase of 33%! Dental hygiene alone cannot possibly account for all of these cavities. When your properly brushed tooth shows dental caries, more likely than not it is because your teeth arent getting the food they need to remineralize and stay strong.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE CAVITIES, AND HOW DO WE GET THEM?

A cavity is a hole in the tooth enamel. Dental caries is another name for cavities. Once the enamel has a hole in it, bacteria get in there and rot out the tooth pulp, eventually killing the tooth. Okay, thats pretty simple, but the bigger question is this: what causes cavities? Herein lies the problem.

The modern practice of dentistry upholds a scientific theory that cavities are primarily caused by bacteria on the teeth. The reality is that this theory was adopted by vote decades ago and has not been irrevocably proven . Meanwhile, other theories with a great deal of evidence to back them have been dismissedthis includes the concept that tooth decay is caused primarily by poor diet , not by acid or bacteria left on the teeth.

Maverick dentist, Dr. Weston Price, developed his nutrition theory after travelling the globe studying cultures that either had low rates of dental caries or high. He focused a lot of his research on primitive people, disconnected from the luxury of convenience foods, as these people seemed to have the best teeth and overall health. Paying close attention to their diet and dental hygiene, he found something striking: People who ate a traditional diet including whole foods high in fat-soluble vitamins and minerals with little or no processed grains and sugars had almost no cavities.

Wait, theres more: People eating this type of diet had healthy, strong teeth regardless of dental hygiene! Cultures that were introduced to modern convenience foods including jams and jellies, pastries, white bread, and abundant sugary fruits had far worse teeth even if their dental hygiene was good! Dr. Price took his hypothesis that poor nutrition caused cavities straight to the lab, testing foods for their nutritional content and conducting a series of studies to prove his theory.

In one case, Price studied a group of poor children who subsisted mainly on a diet that usually consisted of highly sweetened strong coffee and white bread, vegetable fat, pancakes made of white flour and eaten with syrup, and doughnuts fried in vegetable fat. This diet was lacking the fat-soluble vitamins and minerals necessary for building strong teeth and these children had the decayed teeth to prove it!

Dr. Price set out to nourish the childrens bodies so that their teeth would remineralize, heal the cavities, and prevent future dental caries. This would provide a solid foundation for his hypothesis. For the purposes of the study, these malnourished children were fed a nutrient rich diet for one meal, six days per week, for five months.
