Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I just had a second broken tooth within the last few weeks. The dentist told me, after the first break, that it " just happens " . Now I'm not so sure. My husband has had this happen several times during his life. But these recent two incidents are a " first " for me. Any comments or advice??

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 you may want to look at your diet. Drinking coffee is known to deplete calcium from the body and its acidic affect can harm the enamle over time. If you drink coffee you may want to consider an alternative or follow up with an 8oz glass of water with apple cider vineger. Are there any other foods or drinks that could cause an overly acidic effect in the body? Get one of those urine test tapes where you urinate on it to show if it is acid or alkaline. Are you getting enough calcuim and vitamin D in your diet? Also, there is a school of thought that links various teeth to various parts of the body like reflexology. It may be well worth your time to investigate that and see which teeth that broke are related to what organs and begin to treat those organs with herbs or the proper foods. These are just suggestions. Health for All Damon > > I just had a second broken tooth within the last few weeks. The dentist > told me, after the first break, that it " just happens " .

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks. Been chewing a lot of gum. Perhaps too much biting down hard? Dentist told me (after taking an x-ray) that nothing was wrong. From: <robertsjohnh@...> Reply-< > Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:19:33 -0500 < > Subject: Re: [ ] Teeth breaking Stop chewing on rocks? I broke one tooth in the army when I bit down on a cherry pit in a piece of pie (it was basic training and I was really hungry)... I chipped another tooth in a basketball game more recently when I got hit in the mouth with the ball... Since that happened, I wear a mouth piece and I haven't chipped any more teeth. Do you play basketball? Seriously, teeth are pretty strong. The tooth I broke in the army probably had some unfilled cavities... If there is a lot of unchecked infection in the mouth, the body will actually start dissolving the bone in the immediate area in an attempt to reject the offending tooth. Even then the goal is to weaken the root, not the crown of the tooth. If this was the case your dentist would have surely said something. It's their job to identify systemic problems. And they probably get a kickback from the specialist. Coincidence does happen too...
