Speaking of teeth - Remineralization?

[Guest guest]

Following up on the question about fillings...

I know I have read some interesting posts about how to remineralize the

teeth, but can't remember if it was here or not...

But, regardless, I'd be very interested in hearing any suggestions for

how to remineralize the teeth for someone who has relatively good teeth,

but they are weakened from years of neglect and now have lots of minor

problems...

Thanks

Hi,

I can't really answer how to re-mineralise teeth, but I do remember reading on a

forum to avoid glycerin as it stops re-mineralisation. Most toothpastes, even

from health shops, contain glycerin. Since then, I have switched to Eco-Dent

toothpowder. Hope this helps!

Val

Does re-mineralization mean to rebuild the enamel? I have holes in the

bottom of some of my teeth from grinding them while I sleep. Anything I can

do to help the enamel of my teeth that I can do on my own would be greatly

appreciated because I can't afford the dentist. Sylvia

Remineralising teeth requires alkaline saliva, which contains the calcium needed

to deposit in dental microabrasions while you sleep. It's pretty hard to have

that clean and alkaline a mouth with a bad diet so most people don't bother and

have calculus deposits instead. The new technique for some dentists is to clean

the teeth with ozone and while the bacteria are at bay the tooth may

remineralise a bit. I think it's doomed to failure on most people.

all good,

Duncan

Is there something that can be swished in the mouth to make the mouth

alkaline for a few hours while you sleep? Sylvia

If you swish with something alkaline, and your saliva is still acidic, your

mouth will be acidic again in a few to several minutes. Remineralisation

requires alkaline saliva, and that comes about gradually as one's diet and

mineralisation improves.

Making one's saliva and lymph more alkaline involves using less acidifying

foods, more net alkaline foods, and more alkaline mineral supplements such as

magnesium, potassium, and zinc.

all good,
