Home Remedies: Remineralize your Teeth...

As usual a poor diet and malnutrition is the main culprit for tooth decay. We already know that refined sugar and processed foods are the main offenders. Yet over time, teeth missing vital minerals tend to rot. Let’s face it; most of us aren’t getting the necessary minerals that we need daily. Well, multiply this mineral loss times 365 days over the course of your lifespan and you’ve got yourself a dental bill that’ll make you want to holler and throw up both your hands.

Good thing there’s a thing such as tooth remineralization, which is unheard of to most dentists so don’t be surprised if your dentist seems unaware about it; but you may want to put him/her on notice about your plans.  Find a happy medium and work with your wallet and dentist to resolve cavity-ridden teeth.

Remember solutions may vary from person-to-person so use your best judgment (do your research continually -- and I mean keep digging, if you need to, until you find a solution that works best for you) as you embark upon this journey of remineralizing your teeth.

I found this blog post (see link below) to be really useful and informative and just had to share the information with as many people as possible.

In this post The Paleo Mama points out that vitamin C can help neutralize the phytic acid (a suspected cause for tooth decay) found in grains, nuts, corn, rice, bean, legumes and seeds. Personally, this was music to my ears, because simply boosting my vitamin C intake sounds doable until I am consistent with adopting a completely grain-free diet. Stay tuned and I’ll let you know my results on this one.
