Tooth decay/fillings

[Guest guest]

My 8 year old son has a bit of decay starting at multiple areas in his mouth.

His dentist really made me feel bad about our decisions, such as no flouride

treatments or toothpaste, no sealants, no nitrous oxide. Currently he needs a

filling in one spot. He uses a product called dyract with is a compomer, a

resin and glass ionomer. Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated if anyone

has any experience with this product or any others for fillings. I'm grateful

at least he doesn't use amalgams!

Thanks a lot!

I'm interested, too. Our daughter also has a cavity and I haven't had the

nerve to schedule the " filling " - just am anxious about it- the numbing, the

filling itself and all of it.

My son had cavities at the age of 2! So I researched benign filling materials

and found a company called DRM Laboratories in Branford, CT or

toll free (888) DRM-BOND. They sell a line of products called Diamond Lite

biocompatible white filling material. We used it on my son's baby teeth and it

worked pretty well, but it is designed for adult teeth. Here's their web site:

I wouldn't let your dentist make you feel bad. Flouride is a known toxin.

Good Luck!

Also Google Restore toothpaste, it's has a substance that really helps

remineralize teeth and can fill in the little cavities over time if the bacteria

and acidity in the mouth get corrected.

I would urge caution in using Restore Toothpaste since it contains Sodium Lauryl

Sulphate (SLS).

The Environmental Working Group's (EWG) " Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Reviews "

publication indicate that SLS has links to skin irritation, organ toxicity,

developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxity, endocrine disruptors,

biochemical/cellular changes, possible mutations and cancer, etc.

My daughter was recently having problems with canker sores, and our naturopath

asked whether I had checked her toothpaste for SLS. Sure enough it contained

SLS. We switched to an SLS-free toothpaste, and she hasn't had a canker sore

since then (almost a month and a half, after previously problems on a daily

basis).

After reading more about SLS in the EWG's publication and on Dr. Mercola's

website, I checked all our personal care products and was upset to find that

almost everything contained SLS. We have since replaced everything.

Hi. I can't really give advice since I don't have expertise in this area.

I do know that our child's oral health seemed to improve as we healed her gut,

improved her diet, addressed her emotional stress, etc. Even so, we were still

having problems with canker sores until we started using an SLS-free toothpaste.

That seemed to take care of it for us.

Sorry I can't offer more suggestions!
