on broken teeth

January 21, 2004

OK. I had a dentist appt today. I grilled, as in stop working, answer

questions, GRILLED my dentist on this subject, I've asked before, but I really

held him til he squirmed. Now, I'm not saying he is the final authority, just a

dentist, not old enough to retire, not wet behind the ears.

One of my questions is why are MY teeth not breaking since I took inferior

calcium for 6 yrs and my teeth were kinda flimsy anyway.

( he says it's cuz I nip the problems in the bud--but so would many of you if

you saw it coming)

What can we do nutritionally to prevent this? What do we all have in common that

is causing this in a number of us, but not all?

He says it is NOT nutritional. And I asked it several ways. It's pretty hard

to convince me that anything is not nutritional. LOL!

The reasons for breakage (and I included front never-worked-on teeth) would be

so:

a root canal tooth that was never crowned (no blood supply)

too big filling in a smaller tooth

an old filling that is silently decaying the tooth underneath

impaired blood supply to the tooth via injury (like you fell as a kid and the

blood supply was good for awhile, maybe)

so, a dead tooth

At every turn, he said external. Now, if we did extra vomiting when we still had

full stomach secretions, I'd imagine that would weaken things, but I forgot to

ask that.

If we can't prevent it, does it happen to everyone but they don't have a forum

on which to state it? Know any normies with teeth that have snapped off? I do.

But not lots. Mine are not breaking, but I need crowns and all have been on

antique large fillings.
