Two years ago I went to the dentist for a cleaning. I had one small cavity in between two of my upper teeth, and one large cavity way in the back next to my wisdom tooth. The dentist recommended that I stay and immediately have those two cavities filled. I told him I was going to go home and do some research first. I don’t think anyone has ever said that to him before, because he really looked speechless there for a second. I think Doctors are pretty used to getting their way (besides, he already thinks I’m weird because of a previous argument we got into about fluoride). Here is my research:
Contrary to popular belief, the teeth are not inanimate objects, but fully alive parts of the body. What makes up a tooth?
- Dentin: the bone-like layer in the middle of the tooth
- Enamel: the hard white surface that covers the tooth
- Pulp: with its many blood vessels, nerves and live cells
- Mandibular nerve: which stimulates the body in carrying blood to the nerves in the teeth
- Trigeminal nerve: stimulates the blood vessels that feed blood from the large cranial nerve to the Mandibular nerve
- Periodontal ligament: connects the tooth to the jaw through millions of fibers all going different directions
- Dentinal Tubules: EVERY TOOTH CONTAINS 3 MILES OF MICROSCOPIC TUBES, FILLED WITH A SUBSTANCE SIMILAR TO THE CEREBRAL SPINAL FLUID.
Dentin and enamel are fed from tooth building cells which transport or disperse nutrients through the dental lymph. They essentially act as tiny pumps. A healthy tooth will clean itself out, fluid will flow from within the pulp and move outward to protect our teeth from decay.
This Aborigine Tribe had beautiful teeth and wide arches. The pictures on the right page (top left, bottom left and bottom right) show the effects modern “white foods” had on this tribe.
The teeth’s ability to heal itself is based upon how healthy your salivary glands are. Poor diet causes food debris, saliva, chemicals and whatever may be in the body at the time to be pulled into the tooth through the dentinal tubules. Over time, the pulp becomes inflamed and tooth decay spreads to the enamel.
- Certain minerals play a key part in tooth health. Namely Magnesium, Copper, Iron, Phosphorus, Calcium and Manganese. Without abundant minerals in the diet the flow of fluid through the tubules is reversed, and cellular metabolism and energy-production of the teeth-building cells are damaged.
- Our hormone secreting glands also play a large part in the health of our teeth. When our endocrine glands are out of balance we develop tooth decay or gum disease.
- Blood sugar levels when chronically out of balance, can often cause tooth decay or gum disease.
- Vitamin A & D are crucial to the health of your teeth. Without enough Vitamin A & D our cells cannot produce enough osteocalcin-the protein that deposits calcium and phosphorous into our bones and teeth.
- Without enough fat-soluble vitamins in the diet severe tooth decay can result.
So what can you do?
Help your endocrine and pituitary glands stay in balance by eating a diet very low in sugar. This includes natural sugars.
Eat a diet low in phytic acid, which is an anti-nutrient found in grains, seeds, nuts and beans, and actually blocks the absorption of minerals by the body (I will do a full post on this tomorrow).
Eat more saturated fat! Cholesterol is a vital building block involved in hundreds of functions in the body. In fact, your body produces three to four times the amount of cholesterol that you eat. Cholesterol from healthy fats (coconut oil, tallow, lard, butter etc) is not dangerous and has no effect on your risk of heart disease.
Consume Vitamin A & D together. The most potent form is cod liver oil. You would have to eat 5 quarts of milk, 1 pound of butter or 9 eggs to consume the amount of Vitamin A found in one teaspoon of cod liver oil! (I order mine online at Iherb and use the coupon code HIF798 for a $10 discount and free shipping)
Update: iHerb just added Garden of Life Arctic Cod Liver oil to their site. It is very high quality. Use the code HIF798 for $10 off!
Increase the amount of fresh, raw foods that you consume and reduce the amount of cooked, processed, prepackaged foods.
Eat something other than grass? Why would I want to do that? This grass is delicious!
The Changes I Made
I take 2 capsules of Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil/Butter Oil Blend 3 TIMES A DAY. Garden of Life makes a great quality Cod Liver Oil as well.
I drink 2-3 cups of raw, grass-fed whole-fat milk per day minimum. We also eat full-fat dairy made from this milk.
I make homemade bone broth often, and we use it for cooking daily.
We eat wild-caught seafood 1-2 times per week ( I find fish eggs are a really easy way to do this) Rob loves all sea food, and probably eats more than I do. We eat oysters, clams, crab, lobster, caviar etc.
We eat high quality beef, pork, chicken from a local farm who only feeds the animals what God would feed them.
We eat the organ meats from those animals at least 1 time per week
I eliminated sugar from my diet completely and only allow myself 1 Tbsp per day maximum. Which sounds hard, but once you haven’t had sugar for a while, 1 Tbsp is actually a lot of sweetener. (and fruit tastes like candy)
I increased the amount of green leafy vegetables in my diet, and always consume them with a healthy fat, so I can absorb the minerals efficiently. Juicing is an excellent way to do this, if you aren’t a big veggie fan.
I started soaking grains to reduce the amount of phytic acids I was consuming. I will post on this method tomorrow. I also greatly reduced the amount of grains that we were eating, and started buying sprouted flour.
Have you had your colorful foods today?
Because your teeth are alive, they CAN heal themselves!
I didn’t believe this until I went back to the dentist 6 months later and the small cavity on the top was so much smaller in the X-ray that the Doctor could barely find it. In my mind I screamed “I knew it would work, I knew it!”. But out loud I just said “hhmmm. It looks like the changes I made worked.” He asked me a lot of questions, and I answered them all. We talked for over an hour about the changes I made, and the research behind why they worked. This man with a doctorate in dentistry literally said to me “I have been a dentist for 21 years and I had no idea a tooth could remineralize itself. I didn’t know it was even possible”.
Now it has been 2 years, and both of my cavities are 100% gone. I also had teeth that were very sensitive to cold, and that has gone away entirely. I can now chew ice cubes (I know everyone with sensitive teeth out there is cringing right now) and rinse my mouth with ice water and I feel no pain.
IN SUMMARY
Tooth decay is caused by an imbalance in body chemistry. Blood sugar spikes cause our hormones to tell the teeth to stop adding minerals, and our metabolism of calcium and phosphorous is disrupted. Eat plenty of vegetables, stop eating so much sugar and carbohydrates, eat more grass-fed protein and fat and you can resolve this imbalance.
I would recommend the same research to you, that I did to the good Doctor:

Reddesilets, I have really bad adrenals and coincidently my teeth are starting to decay. Ironically I believe all this bad adrenal health started at age 18 when in NJ golden gloves boxing I lost my front tooth the dentist put in a Maryland bridge made of alot of metal and connected to the other front tooth I was 18 and strong immune but as yrs were going on I started developing tons of adrenal and kidney pain I finally was so bad I developed electrical sensitivities . I then researching health came across that the two front teeth lie on the kidney/adrenal meridian I removed the bridge and my health came roaring back I should’ve just had a non metal removable partial put in but had a different supposedly non metal bridge put in didn’t connect to the other front tooth but this dentist put bonding on that front tooth boom all my health issues have come back and a lot of kidney pain .I am looking to remove the bonding but very scared he may remove some of the tooth as I already am missing the other front tooth , But I had two teeth decay since obviously my adrenals are severely struggling again . Dentist think they can do better then God what God gave us is best for our bodies anyway I really just want the bonding off the tooth and give my adrenals time to repair then I have to se bout something for the missing tooth maybe a non metal partial anyway what did you do to heal the adrenals

I grew back my tooth
I too figured this out – but it was quite by accident. I had a small cavity in the tooth between the big front tooth & the canine back in the early to mid 1990s.
I was trying to get rid of fibromyalgia & was trying all kinds of things.
That’s when I saw the cavity that had taken a chunk out of my tooth while I was flossing – it was just above the gum line – so nobody else noticed & it was round & the wide, flat dental floss – fit in it perfectly.
So I immediately started dabbing a really good quality tea tree oil on it several times a day & swooshing my mouth out with MSM (sulpher) powder after brushing.
Meanwhile on my quest to end fibromyalgia – I was taking Hyland’s Bio Plasma – mineral salts. This stuff is AMAZING! It has all the minerals for your teeth in it.
I up’d my mega mineral complex to the full 4 cap dose (usually only take 2 caps).
Took an aminio acid complex – capsule form, & extra phosphorus – which I can’t get anymore & can’t find it (they say it’s harmful – but I never had any issues).
I was also taking garlic capsules (2) at least once a day, often 2 times.
I ate lots of pumpkin (pepitas) seeds. They give me tons of energy, protein and minerals – never had an issue with minerals not absorbing. My fibromyalgia felt sooo much better eating them.
Now that I think about it – I may have been juicing too,
Anyway – after doing all this stuff – one day I was flossing in the mirror again & my tooth had grown back – all of it!!
I asked our dentist brother-in-law & he said he thought it was possible, but never saw it happen.
Nobody wanted to believe me & I had no clue that my tooth would grow back – so no pics on my end either.
I have horrible issues right now so I’m going back on the regime (less the extra phosphorus I can’t get anymore).
At the time I could have been taking flax seed oil too – I can’t remember.
I also took pau ‘d arco around this time and alternated that with echinacea – no clue if that played a part..
Didn’t take extra D or A, because I didn’t know about them then & may have been taking dry vit E for part of this time.
I didn’t go without sugar, didn’t go without beer – drank organic milk – no special meat.
This time I’m taking Lymphomyosot – it helps your body sweep your lymph system & detox for a week or so to get things rolling.
I’ll keep you posted on what I do this time & the progress. I have serious decay here in several teeth – so it will be cool to see what happens with this versus the small pin sized hole I had before.
My son at 10 had surface cavities found by the dentist & I did the tea tree oil treatments twice a day & gave him the Bio Plasma & his teeth healed perfectly & no cavities at last dentist visit.
I assure you – he did not adhere to a special diet & won’t take vitamins. At the time he wasn’t even a milk drinker – he wouldn’t touch the stuff.
So I guess it was youth, the Bio Plasma & that he did eat his veggies & lots of protein – but he ate his share of dessert too. lol

Hi Heather, thank you so much for this post. I’m so inspired by your success with remineralization. I too am trying to remineralize some teeth – and this post is keeping me motivated. Could you also share what your oral health care routine is? Do you use any specific type of toothpaste or oral care products?
arealfoodlover said,
September 21, 2012 at 10:48 AM
Right now I’m using homemade toothpaste, just a baking soda and coconut oil mixture made into a paste. I use a water pick every night also. I occastionally gargle with hydrogen peroxide 3%, because I’m prone to allergies and that helps tremendously. Other than that I limit sugar and grains and take my cod liver oil religiously….

Kailene said,

Long term use of baking soda wears enamel down— it is too abrasive for daily use. I haven’t done enough research to give alternatives, but the effects of baking soda have been documented frequently enough.
arealfoodlover said,
May 25, 2013 at 5:07 PM
Kailene, thank you for your comment. Teeth are living, growing, regenerating parts of the body. Just like skin and bones, they are constantly growing new cells. The enamel on your teeth is no different. As long as you rinse your mouth thoroughly after using baking soda, you will have no problem. I have been using it daily for over 15 years with no ill effect. I’m so glad to hear that you are doing your own research, thats great!

I was just wondering if there are any known cases of large holes being remineralized with these methods, and will fillings get in the way of the process? I have had quite a number of fillings, most of which were filled with amalgam. So my teeth are in terrible shape. I have had the amalgam removed and replaced with a safer alternative. I have made changes to my diet, though that could be improved more as well. Thanks in advance.

Yes if your Vegan you can re-mineralise your teeth – without dairy, eggs, fish, poultry or meat. I read about a guy who went raw vegan – at first his teeth were not getting any better – but he included a lot of greens in to his diet and healed several of his teeth that had decayed. He also did the oil pulling to… kept his mouth very clean from bacteria etc. On his return to the dentist they said he had no more cavities…
Sangeeta Freeman said,
October 23, 2012 at 8:24 AM
Excellent and I can back this up with my own experience. I’ve never used fluoride and in my childhood, sugar was generally prohibited by my health-conscious mother. I’m 39 and have mainly brushed with ayurvedic paste, or only bicarb of soda during my adult life. Last year however, I had major decay in one tooth resulting in an extraction. I’d so wanted to avoid this, but it was impossible at the time. A few weeks later, I went to a dentist in India who diagnosed yet another cavity, which had been throbbing a bit. Aaaagghh, not again I thought, but I decided not to get it filled and when back in UK started eating mega amounts of seeds and nuts, which I continue to do. My dentist here in UK cannot find the cavity that was shown to me in India, even though the Indian dentist had clearly shown it to me in the mirror! Xrays show a healthy tooth and it no longer hurts. I have a 100% organic diet and strongly suspect that all the seeds and nuts have repaired my teeth. Plus, I’ve been using xylitol, a brilliant substance known to strengthen enamel + dentine. I’m a firm believer that you can regrow teeth. I’m working on this new thing- Gum Recession, which is why I have an appointment with my dentist soon. There’s a tooth that has exposed dentine and I’m not sure what to do- white filler, or just carry on as normal..

Awesome discovery. My tooth however is in between two molars and have developed a dull ache which is constant. The cavity is in the the last upper tooth which I will have extracted. I which it could be done today as aI fear it may be infected. Yet I am not in severe pain. Just a dull aching throb. It gets worse after eating. I am 59 and wish I had known all this info sooner.

December 10, 2012 at 6:38 PM
I’m so glad I found your blog!! I have cavities in every single molar due to childhood vaccinations and poor diet. I’m skeptic about dentists and their fluoride/chemical mixes they put on your teeth (I haven’t found one in my area that I would think about seeing and I definitely will not go back to my childhood dentist). I’ve been interested in alternative health for about 10 years now (I’m 24) and find it amazing that you have healed your teeth.. I don’t know why that has never crossed my mind!
I eat pretty healthy but still addicted to sugars. Read recently about a ketogenic diet to help with hypoglycemia and to decrease your sugar intake. I’m making little steps to adapt that diet. It’s very similar to the diet that you follow.
I have a question about your homemade toothpaste mentioned in last comment.. Are you not worried about the abrasiveness or aluminum content of the baking soda? Or the harshness that hydrogen peroxide can do to gums? I read that Dr. Bronner’s soaps can be used for toothpaste (they warn that, yes, it does taste like soap) and am interested in trying that out. Currently I use Weleda’s salt toothpaste but I’m not sure if it’s abrasive like baking soda. Have you tried oil pulling?
Thank you for posting this!!!
arealfoodlover said,
January 29, 2013 at 4:16 PM
We’ve been using this toothpaste for a while now, and have had no problem. Any abrasiveness seems to be counteracted by the fact that our teeth are constantly re-mineralizing themselves…

Hey! Thanks so much for posting. I just wanted to ask if any one knows how long it takes the teeth to remineralize. I visited the dentist last month and was told that I have a deep cavity in one of my upper pre molars, and will need to have a root canal, post and crown installed.
I looked around and started taking BLUE ICE Royal Butter Oil/Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend- Non-Gelatin capsules. This was about two weeks ago. I take two capsules a day (with breakfast). I’ve also drastically reduced my carb / sugar / grain consumption.
The tooth doesn’t hurt as much any more. I just wondering if anyone has really had a serious cavity fully restored through this method. How long did it take? How do you know the tooth is healing? Does the black stuff on the tooth just…peel off?
Thanks.
arealfoodlover said,
February 16, 2013 at 11:32 AM
Everyone is different, so there is no way to say for sure how long this will take. I also would recommend that you take 2 capsules in the morning and another 2 capsules at night. With that severe of cavity you are aiming for 1 to 2 teaspoons of Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend per day…..And at least for a while i would completely eliminate sugar and grains to allow for faster healing.

arealfoodlover said,

DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO FISH: Eat butter. You can buy Butter Oil from the same company. I would recommend that you find and purchase the absolute highest quality butter from 100% grass-fed cows. Cows that are allowed to eat rapidly growing green grass and graze at will. This will heal your teeth just as well as Cod Liver Oil. I would also recommend that you eat organ meats from the same high quality sources. Do you hunt? Try the liver, kidney, heart etc of wild game.

Wow, this is so interesting! I have a few metal fillings in my mouth from when I was a kid that I am considering removing. I thought I would need to replace the filling with something else, but now I’m wondering if i could get the tooth to heal itself once the fillings were out? Any thoughts?
arealfoodlover said,
April 1, 2013 at 3:16 PM
Jinny, The problem is, when they drill your tooth for a filling they remove all of the ‘innards’ of the tooth, leaving just a gaping hold. I doubt that this could be magically filled in, but I never say never right? I haven’t heard of this happening, but let me know what you find out. I would contact a naturopathic dentist. Do not let your regular dentist remove your mercury fillings, they are not trained in how to properly do this and you end up with a body full of toxic mercury.
Jinny said,

Spencer said,
March 1, 2013 at 12:07 PM
I’ve been having gum recession and other enamel issues the past 2 years. I had 4 gum grafts and was so paranoid about making them recede even more that I caused even more damage to my teeth by ONLY brushing my teeth or cleaning them daily with this little metal tool to make sure all the plaque and crap came off my teeth. Now almost all my top teeth’s enamel is peeling off and the majority of the teeth are becoming dull and rough. I noticed this morning that I can even peel off more enamel with my fingernail. As you can tell its pretty soft and brittle! What do I do? I’m freaking out and now I am so self concious when i smile. Ive been following off and on the diet from Cure Tooth Decay but haven’t noticed anything yet? What should I do? I drink grassfed non homogenized milk, eat grassfed cheese and raw milk cheese and take fermented cod liver oil/butter oil. What else should I do? And will that rebuild and fix the peeling enamel on my teeth? Because now I don’t even want to brush my teeth because I feel like everytime I do I’m just peeling off more and more enamel?! Help me please!! Please respond asap!!
arealfoodlover said,
April 1, 2013 at 3:14 PM
spencer you poor thing. I would recommend that you contact Rami Nagel at curetoothdecay.com and ask him specific questions, or call him for a consultation. I am not a doctor, so i can’t really advise you. Although following the diet ‘off and on’ could be part of the problem. What dosage of Cod Liver Oil are you taking? I would recommend a full teaspoon 3 times a day for you. I would also recommend zero sugar and zero grains until your teeth are healed.
Ava said,
July 27, 2013 at 3:00 AM
Dear Spencer,
I have some recommendations….
#1 Try Black Walnut Hull tincture. (I would get it from countrybaskets com. It is made for private sale by an herbalist who goes by MH and Barefoot. He posts on curezone dot com) I’ve heard of several people who have used this herbal tincture to re-grow their tooth enamel (check out testimonies posted on earthclinic dot com)
#2 Go to AlgaeCAL dot com and check out their AlgaeCAL Plus and Strontium Boost products. These are all natural, food based Calcium and other bone building nutrients. What builds bone will also build teeth.
#3 For gum health make sure you’re getting enough food sourced Vitamin C in your diet. Try Camu Camu powder. Nature’s Way also sells an affordable Vitamin C powder or caps made from high vitamin C content berries.
#4 Brush your teeth gently 1 -2 times a day max with only coconut oil and a natural SOFT brush. Brush in soft circular motions. Don’t scrape teeth with anything (including your fingernails).
Oh, I and I would also keep on taking your Cod Liver Oil and Butter Oil (from Green Pastures), Raw Milks and Cheeses, Low Sugar / Fruit / Grains Diet.
Please keep us posted on your progress.
Wishing all the best for you.

I’ve read that people use neem or tea Tree oil or something for receding gums. Could have been oil pulling with sesam oil , I can’t remember where I read it but use google search.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that my 15 year old son went to the dentist recently and was told that he has two “little” cavities. He is not a fan of the needles from the dentist so I challenged him to do an experiment. I told him we can heal his cavities but he must stick to the plan for 3 months. If the pain he was experiencing (which was very little, we would get the teeth filled. So, here is what he has been doing for about six weeks or so, and he has no sensitivity nor pain so he says at this time. He takes about 5 ounces raw milk for breakfast and WHEN he eats breakfast during the school week, its raw butter and raw honey on a toasted wheat pita. He uses my homemade toothpaste every morning and evening and water piks each night. When I come home from work and after dinner, I give him 2 FCLO/Butter capsules along with a Vitamin D/Magnesium/Calcium tablet, and a Vit E. That’s it. We haven’t been back to the dentist so I don’t know if the cavities have “healed” but he isn’t complaining about his teeth. For the toothpaste, its made of bentonite clay, coconut oil, guar gum, baking soda and peppermint essential oil.

thanks guys for all your comments. I have both the back teeth top and bottom that have cavitys near the gums and the nerve must be exposed a little as Im having pain. Im taking a pain relief gel so I can sleep. I was going to make an appointmrnt this week to see the dentist, but I might give this book a go. I have a very healthy diet with no sugar and no grains anyway, and lots of fresh veg juice daily. Im hoping this will work for me as I have a huge phobia with dentists. And have been putting it off. Will keep you updated on how Im going….Thanks again everyone for all your suggestions 🙂

Buy the Cod Liver Oil first thing! That is the most important part of the protocol, especially since it sounds like you eat so well already. Congrats on being sugar and grain free, that is no easy feat!! I would recommend that you take a large tsp full 3 times a day to start. (or 2 capsules 3 times a day).
I buy my cod liver oil at http://www.iherb.com using the coupon code HIF798 and save $10. Plus they have free shipping which i love!

Anne, I would try something for 30 days and see if there is an improvement. Cut grains and sugar out completely and stock up on CLO. If you see zero improvement in 30 days then decide what to do. I personally would rather have the tooth pulled, then ever have a root canal. But that is just me!

[…] Everyone has heard of the benefits of Cod Liver Oil or CLO in circles that know. What most people don’t realise is that the majority of CLO sold today is mechanically extracted oil and nothing like the original CLO that gained the reputation of a super food. The difference is the the original CLO was made from fermenting cod livers which created a much more complex vitamin, enzyme and probiotic mix. Apparently traditionally fermented cod liver oil can help heal cavities in your teeth by re-mineralizing them. […]

Just seen this blog- I have just come from the dentist and have small decay in one tooth and large decay in a back molar. Dentist says I need to act immediately but I’m going to give this a go…. Please tell me this is genuine… My dentist laughed when I told him I was going to try this. Said that when I come back in 6 months I will need a root canal and large filling for not acting immediately…

Carlos said,
May 3, 2013 at 6:28 PM
Alan, please don’t follow advice if the source of information is unknown. I am a medical doctor that happened to run into this blog, let me point out some misconceptions and mistakes:
“Mandibular nerve: which carries blood to the nerves in the teeth
Trigeminal nerve: feeds blood from the large cranial nerve to the Mandibular nerve”
Nerves DO NOT carry blood, those would be the arteries and veins.
Butter comes from animal fat, which means it does contain cholesterol, high levels of saturated fat (which is bad for your heart)
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/butter-vs-margarine/AN00835
High LDL (bad cholesterol) has been proven to increase the risk of heart disease in numerous clinical studies.
If arealfoodlover want to be serious about what she/he is writing, she should be referring clinical data or research to prove her points. I don’t see any personal information or reliable sources in this article, so please be careful on what you read and assume.
Carlos.
arealfoodlover said,
June 9, 2013 at 7:19 PM
Carlos, I just found your comment in my spam folder. I apologize and will publish it now. In response to your observations: Of course nerves do not carry blood. But they do stimulate the arteries and veins which do so. Blood wouldn’t go anywhere if your nerves didn’t tell it to pump, yes? Also animal fat has been consumed for centuries with no ill effect (organic and grass-fed of course). I personally have an incredibly high cholesterol level, and am not concerned one bit. I DID list all of my research at the bottom of the article. I think you would be especially interested in Know Your Fats, by Dr. Mary Enig. And Dr. Prices book would be mind blowing for a fat-hater. I know it was for me when i first read it. Keep in mind that i was a vegetarian for 12 years and ate an almost fat-less diet. I was in the worst health of my life then! I don’t know about you, but I put a lot of stock in anecdotal evidence. If you dont believe my personal story was caused by a diet change, then what would you say caused my cavities to miraculously heal themselves in a few short months?
I certainly don’t claim to know everything, and I am not a doctor. But I do pay attention to my body. I think the balance in the body is very easily disturbed and this is just one way that our new fangled diet is wreaking havoc on society. I try to keep an open mind. Maybe one day I’ll be proven wrong, until then i will keep learning.

Diana said,
May 27, 2013 at 7:54 AM
I’m beginning to understand the importance of FCLO, no grains, sugar and alkalizing the diet, however, my dentist said my jaw is demineralizing and that’s why my teeth are falling out. Would the above protocol help bone remineralization generally, or is this a really dumb question? lol Right now I have a roaster pan full of halibut stock going, did chicken stock last week, and last night started with remineralizing paste, which was actually not bad tasting. How much FCLO/butter capsules should I take in order to not lose any more teeth/repair cavities?
I love your blog–I can tell your soul’s really in it!
arealfoodlover said,
June 9, 2013 at 7:02 PM
Diane, The real question is “why are your bones losing minerals?” right? Conventional medicine never asks why, and i find that infuriating. They are trained in the best colleges in the world to diagnose and write a prescription and move on to the next one. My advice, find a local naturopath and a holistic dentist and get them to work on finding out the reason to that question. Once you know why it’s happening, you will know what to do about it.
Diana said,
June 13, 2013 at 1:47 PM
Heather, thank you for that response. After some research I found a naturopathic biological dentist and am seeing him for consultation this afternoon!! Can’t wait to hear what he has to say.

Translucent teeth are caused by acids eroding the enamel. Enamel can thicken and grow over time and a proper diet. Start with cod liver oil and the removal of all sugars and work from there. A must read: Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price. I also think the proper level of healthy bacteria in your body plays a huge role in tooth health. Make sure you are fermenting away. See the recipe page for how-to’s

Tomw said,
June 25, 2013 at 8:39 PM
There is absolutely no clinical or experimental evidence that enamel regrows. Holes in enamel do not regrow. Ever. Just the same as a leg doesn’t regrow if you loose that. Enamel is formed by cells that are no longer present once the tooth has erupted. From that point on, the crystals that make up enamel cannot grow in size.
However, enamel that has lost it’s minerals (ie chalky, frosty enamel at the beginning of the decay process) can be re-mineralised using a variety of natural methods.
Suggesting that enamel can regrow is not only ridiculous, it is irresponsible.
tslate said,
August 28, 2013 at 5:20 PM
Tomw, that’s great there’s no clinical evidence except for the fact there are no clinical studies that you will find that attempt to regrow enamel unless of course a drug company wanted to do it. It’s easy to say not possible but really hard to prove. Your point has no more validity then you think ancedotal evidence does.

Heather,
Well I went to that biological dentist I wrote you about and he said I had BONE loss in my jaws at the toothline. That’s the reason some folks lose their teeth. I had made some remineralizing toothpaste and have been taking FCLO and broths, but I think this is bigger than me. He couldn’t tell me why this was happening. Have you heard anything about amalgam poisoning and bone loss? I had them taken out IMproperly 20 years ago. Anyhow any information to continue to beef up my bones sure would be appreciated. I suppose chelation is next! thanks much.

I’ve just had a back temporarily capped molar extracted and after the numbing wore off, I’ve discovered that the tooth (a pre molar) in front of the extracted one appears to have a small cavity near the gum line. I discovered it whilst I was touching it with my tongue and a small brown piece of tooth (enamel I assumed) dislodged from the cavity, only around 1mm in size. The cavity itself is quite small & there is no pain.
Do you reckon this can be remineralised & healed using this method then?

Elyssa, I was a vegetarian for 12 years, and was the sickest I’ve ever been during that time. I don’t know if it is possible to consume the correct kind and amount of nutrients without consuming seafood or land animal products.
I would certainly not condemn any person for their beliefs or dietary preferences, but to you I would suggest this reading list:
http://www.westonaprice.org and search the word VEGETARIAN. There are many articles to peruse.
22 Reasons Not to Go Vegetarian by Sally Fallon Morell

Lee said,
May 26, 2015 at 4:06 PM
plenty alternatives, just google vegan sources of omega 3 fatty acids. in fact someone posted here they ate a lot of seeds and nuts and it helped a lot! for the person that said on here she ate a fat-less vegetarian diet….well theres the 1st mistake…when you eliminate animal fat replace it with vegetarian fat sources!!! the reason why a person fails at being vegetarian/vegan is the person themselves for not researching their nutrition 🙂
at the end of the day i believe oil pulling and good nutrition is what will heal holes/cracks/chips anyhwere on your teeth.

hi, im a teenager and recently ive been having a very small pain in my front teeth, I brush my teeth about 3 times in the morning and at night because im really scared of getting a cavity ESPECIALLY in my front teeth and I also have braces but ive established this habit since I was young. I decided to check online and see if I could have these pains without getting a cavity but after reading this I decided that should I have a cavity, I would take your advise. I asked my mom to take me to the dentist and she is planning on doing so but that may take a while. I have to admit that I have had a lot of sugar recently but now I stopped (I don’t usually eat a lot of sweets). unfortunately I don’t know what CLO is, is it a pill? or do I have to swallow it? will I have to stop eating fruits because I LOVE them (more so than candy) and recently I’ve been eating them every day with yogurt for breakfast, lunch, and sometimes dinner (exactly 2 kiwi and one serving of low fat yogurt at least). im not really sure if what I eat is organic or not (because im a teenager I leave the food to my mom), and I know my mom wont change the way she eats and what she makes. my big brother has diabetes and has to take insulin everytime he has carbohydrates so I especially don’t want to do something to single him out. do you have any suggestions? I don’t really know what to do because I don’t take care of myself and I don’t have money to buy specific things. I don’t like milk so I drink almond and coconut milk, I can take vitamins but Im not sure I can take those for adults and I don’t want to bother my mom by constantly asking her for things (she’s not made of money). I do floss and I don’t drink soda or juice often, and my mom brought me some mouthwash today (crest pro-health clinical) because I was afraid my enamel might be getting weaker and that’s why my teeth hurts. I don’t think this will really help all that much if any. its only been like this for a couple of days and my teeth are white with no holes but they have always been sensitive to hot and cold. I have had this pain before but I haven’t had a cavity in years. I went to the dentist 3 months ago (I do go regularly, and don’t miss any appointments) and my teeth appeared to be fine. if I end up having a cavity is there anything I can do?
arealfoodlover said,
June 25, 2013 at 7:41 PM
Kiwi Forever, I am so glad to see someone so young interested in their health. Now is a great time to build good habits that will last you forever. A couple of answers: (as long as you promise to keep in mind that I am not a Doctor and do not give medical advise)
1. My first thought is that you are brushing your teeth too often, and therefore wearing the enamel off of your teeth. Make sure you are using a super soft tooth brush, running it under hot water first to soften further and the amount of pressure that you brush with is no more than your thumb and forefinger. In other words, don’t brush hard, brush lightly and for a long time (3-5 minutes). I think once in the morning and once before bed is plenty.
2. Yes you may eat fruit, and it’s good that you are combining the fruit with yogurt. Yogurt has fat, which helps you absorb the nutrients in the fruit and will not affect your blood sugar so drastically.
3. Ask your mother if she would be willing to purchase full fat dairy products for you, instead of low/non fat ones. So you would be getting extra nutrients and good fats by eating whole-milk yogurt and cheese etc.
4. CLO is Cod Liver Oil. This comes in a pill (gel cap) or liquid form. The pill is much tastier 😉 You should be taking half a teaspoon twice per day. As should your whole family, especially the diabetic.
5. Do you have coconut oil in the house? This is very good to swish around in your mouth and helps with tooth sensitivity.
Let us know how it goes!

I just started taking Green Pasture’s royal ice blend of FCLO/HVBO about 3 days ago. I ordered the chocolate cream gel. I’ve also started oil pulling with cold pressed unrefined coconut oil and I’m waiting for my phytase supplements to get here. After coming across this blog and doing endless research, I think I’ve gained ALOT of knowledge on this topic. My teeth are in horrible condition after having my two boys. I went to the ER this past sat due to the amount of pain I was in. I have 2 or 3 cavities that are causing the most pain, along with 2 impacted wisdom teeth. I was in tears sat talking with the doctor. I’m almost thirty n it’s extremely depressing seeing my teeth in their current condition. All anyone has ever told me is get to a dentist, it’s the only way to fix it. However, much easier said than done. Not too many have the money laying around to fork out to a dentist. With that being said, in the 3 days I’ve started with the FCLO and trying to cut out sugars n grains, my pain has diminished considerably. I was put on antibiotics to rid the infection from one of my impacted wisdom teeth. However, I have already noticed a slight change in the appearance of my teeth. They are not quite as transparent as they were for one. I am breastfeeding as well which makes me even more determined for this work. It’s not the best tasting stuff but fifty dollars a month sure beats the thousands in dental bills. I don’t wanna get my hopes up or anyone else’s but I truly believe that this can work. For anyone having trouble with diet changes, I found you can take a phytase supplement that helps to neutralize your phytic acid intake. Phytic acid prevents the absorption of minerals your body can take in. Which, from what I understand, causes demineralization and acidic saliva which leads to tooth decay. I know getting raw diary can be a challenge. ESP in states like mine where it’s illegal 😦 I urge anyone interested in trying this GET GREEN PASTURES ROYAL ICE BLEND FCLO/HVBO. They are the only company that offers FERMENTED cod liver oil. It has to be fermented. You won’t get the key factors needed with any other product. Also try out the phytase supplement. I got mine from Country Life and they were 15.00 for 120 capsules. I will keep you posted how it works for me. I’m gonna put all I have into it! Good luck to everyone else giving it a shot too! I really believe it can work!

I discovered some cavities in my teeth today and naturally began panicking about it. However, I began doing my own research into the subject and eventually came across this article. Very informative.

I have small, brown lines on my back teeth on both sides, I’m suspecting they are cavities. I have gotten sealants on those teeth as well. But, the cavities haven’t gotten worse at all. I went to the dentist for a check up and he told me that the cavities are too small to worry about yet or something like that. This was last year. My diet is horrible, well was, last year and up to this years beginning. I hardly brushed my teeth and ate all types of carbohydrates, refined sugars and such. Which was the norm for a teenager like myself.lol my teeth have taken all of that torture and are minimally decayed/damaged. But I’m a good healer, if that makes since. This one time, I got a really deep cut from falling and it healed the very same day with minimal bleeding. I guess tooth regeneration has a lot to do with genetics as well; my mom is a good healer too.

Hello Areafoodlover…a quick question. Was your large cavity in the dentin? A couple of my cavities have entered the dentin and I read on another such blog that once in the dentin, remineralization isn’t possible. By the way I’ve made all the changes you’ve suggested above for the last 3 weeks or so. Giving up sugar was much easier that I thought it would be 🙂
Lenny said,
October 3, 2013 at 9:53 PM
Hi Areafoodlover and Prasad, I too have a cavity in the dentin. I have three teeth that should be removed according to a dentist and though extraction is a standard procedure I am scared. I am going to try to do what ever is possible to remineralize my teeth. I’ve had no success with things like this before like trying to use glucosamine for my knee so I am a bit skeptical. But considering if it doesn’t work then they will just have to remove the tooth anyway I will give it a shot. I have no doubt that smaller cavities can heal but not big ones. Also I would love to figure out how to get the raw milk but it almost seems far fetched to really make an attempt at it.
If it works I promise to post back with results because I don’t seem to see many people doing any updates. Good luck everyone and thanks for the strand of hope Areafoodlover.

where do you purchase the sprouted flour you mentioned and what brand do you use? we found your blog when researching natural ways to take care of tooth decay and have completely changed our diet. i bake all our own bread products now and we’ve cut out our high phytic acid diet. (never even realized that was a component in tooth decay until i researched and read what you’d written). thanks so much!

Ruth, we are lucky enough to have a really awesome and well-stocked health food store, that is where we buy our flour. I have also seen several different brands at Whole Foods Market and Trader Joes…

[…] How I Remineralized my Tooth Cavities Without Dentistry […]
Amish Author Sicily Yoder said,
December 3, 2013 at 3:39 PM
I love your article. My upper wisdom tooth just chipped, and I have remineralized the front of it (working on the side of it now) several times. i have a dental appt tomorrow to see if she can put a seal on it. However, I just wondered if I could remineralize it, as it’s just the top side that is chipped. There is still part of the tooth, and it doesn’t hurt at all. I have found a combination of Sensodyne, ACT II, Peroyxl, and salt water rinse to do the trick. And. NO sugary sodas. I know I’m awful, but I switch back and forth between soda and water, and I start getting caries again. I eat a lot of eggs, real milk, and veggies. But I bake a lot too. Hard wheat flour, now, from Whole Foods.

Nice hypothesis, now do an actual double blind study. That way it’s not just “some guy on the internet says…” Maybe you have super mutant healing teeth. Put it together with a control group and a test group then measure the progress. The person measuring the rewsult cannot be allowed to know which group the person they’re examining is in, this way we avoid confirmation bias. This is not a questioneer survey, that’s BS. Do statistical analysis of the measurments.

You do realize that this is a blog article about one persons anecdotal experience and not a scientific study right? I’m not a scientist, but I agree that a double blind study would be an wonderful idea. I hope to see more studies of this type in the scientific community in the future.

Hello again
I posted a while back & have made changes to my diet for a while now but I’ve been doing a little more research & I have a new question – regarding the cod liver oil, do you know whether unfermented cod liver oil has the same effect or a lesser effect… or none at all? I ask because the fermented stuff isn’t as readily available in the UK where I live.
Thanks 🙂

SO glad I found this! I have a cavity that I can see, but it doesn’t really hurt yet, so I’m hoping I can save my tooth before I have to go to the dentist (no money for that). Also, I’ve begun oil-pulling with coconut oil, and my teeth already look better.
Tiff said,
December 30, 2013 at 2:25 AM
A few thoughts to add: It is my understanding that glycerine, which is in most natural toothpastes, will block tooth remineralization. Ozonated olive oil flossed between teeth and left on at night is good practice, as described in the book Mouth Matters. I love Rupam’s one drop tooth soap for cleaning. Oil pulling is powerful. My homeopath recommended a special oral probiotic to suck on after brushing my teeth at night to avoid gum loss during pregnancy. Prodigin, I believe the product was callled. Search Dr. Mercola for research done on the dangers of root canals. The miles of tiny microscopic canals that are connected to the main canals recognized in dental schools, are almost always impacted in a way that leads to systemic, unrecognized infection. Appreciating the great suggestions and insights in your blog. Thanks for shining the light!

I would say the most important item is the Cod Liver Oil. As I was telling Christina iHerb just added GARDEN OF LIFE ARCTIC COD LIVER OIL to their site. I just ordered mine. It’s very high quality. I also would recommend trying RAW milk. I have all kinds of digestive problems if I drink store-bought milk, but can drink a whole gallon of raw un-pasteurized milk. We have a nearby farmer who gives it to us straight from the cow. It is SO good! As far as vegetables, eat what you like!

So today I went to the dentist and he saw that I have a big fracture/craze line down the front of my tooth which has been causing some issues lately. However he wants to do a root canal on my tooth which I just don’t think is the best option. I had 14 cavities filled last year and still have trouble with healing from them today. It’s awful. I don’t want more work done. Do you think your remedies will help my tooth? I do have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (endocrine/thyroid autoimmune disease) and am trying to work on that right now. Most remineralizing diets are extremely limiting and expensive for my household and so i want to try and fix this without paying out the wahzoo. We have a family of 4 living off 1 salary. It’s very limiting to how much we can spend on food. I am gluten free but do eat other grains and starches (potatoes, rice, corn, etc). Is this ok? Sorry so many questions but thanks for your help!

I recently got interested in the idea of tooth remineralization, and your post was a great source of insight for me! I’ve slowly but surely adopted a diet to minimize phytic acids and increase minerals (especially with the addition of bone broths).
What are your thoughts on sourdough bread? I read that the process of sourdough fermentation really decreases the phytic acid content of wheat, which is relatively low to begin with. I’m thinking about incorporating it sparingly into my diet, and I was wondering what your opinion on it was. Thanks! I appreciate your input 🙂

Hello arealfoodlover,
I found your blog while searching for ways to remineralize teeth. It is such a great source of motivation for us having teeth issues! I have a “sticky spot” on a tooth that I am trying to remineralize myself before heading in for a filling. I have been reading around about fermented cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil, and was planning to try them, but then I read that fermented cod liver oil contains histamine, and I know I cannot take it because I am SERIOUSLY allergic to histamine!!!! Can you please suggest any other alternatives to the fermented cod liver oil? Or can I just take the high vitamin butter oil by itself? Many thanks in advance for your reply, and thank you for sharing your story of success!

I have also read this book “Cure tooth decay” by Ramiel Nagel and I must say this book was an eye opener for me. To know how much our eating habits effect our oral and general health was quite a revelation for me. Since then I have been actively following the advice given by Rami and also suggesting other people to adopt healthy eating lifestyle. The author of this book has described the causes of tooth decay and has given an effective diet plan based on the guidelines of Dr Weston Price, which not only helps in prevention of cavities but also in reversal of tooth decay. Many people have adopted this diet plan and successfully treated and reversed their tooth decay. Visit this website for more information http://www.curetoothdecay.com/

It happen in my younger days, I accidentally did bruxism quite often, and my question is, can bruxism be restored? My upper left side of my teeth is much more brittle than it used to be, so, can it be restored to how it was once with remineralization? And also, how’s the gaping hole in my teeth, can it be remineralized, too?
Thanks.

I have asked this in other places, too, hoping that someone can answer my question:
A while ago, I was looking for information on how to remineralize teeth, that’s how I read similar articles like this one. Hurray!
As a result of what I have read in these articles, I quit oatmeal and started eating more meat, fish, fat and all these recommended here. For long months, no improvement in my teeth – didn’t notice any difference. I even took lots of extra gelatine – no effect.
But my nails were breaking BADLY!
Right now I am back on my oat porridge (I simply pour boiled water on it and let it sit for a few minutes), and after only a few days, my nails are spectacularly improving again, stopped breaking and they are much stronger than they were just last week. I didn’t do any other changes in my diet or anything else.
So this gives the question: how come that if bones, nails and teeth are made of similar materials, why would oat be so good for my nails but bad for my teeth?
Thanks for the answer in advance.
Sandy said,
June 11, 2014 at 6:32 PM
What I want to know is what does the remineralization look like? Does it just stop the decay but the damage created is left or does the tooth go back to what it was before the decay? The reason I ask this is because I have long been eating this way and the decay stopped, but there is now an indentation in my tooth. The indentation is white (color of teeth) no longer a cavity, but I don’t understand why in all of these years despite eating cod liver oil, raw milk, etc etc I have an indentation.

Frank Ferreira said,
June 30, 2014 at 5:11 PM
Please be wary of such claims. Any dentist who says he did not know that teeth can remineralize is very out of date.Either that or the person posting this is exagerating, possibly for their own financial gain. We know that cavities can remineralize if they are small enough, and the majority of dentists would not immediately dive into drilling and filling. I would recommend you go see your dentist for an assesment, and do not fall into this trap. A cavity that is sufficiently large enough to be well into dentin will not reverse/remineralize sufficiently and you will eventually regret it. I the writer could post some x-rays of the cavities in question then maybe i will believe. Before and after x-rays will suffice.Otherwise this is bunk.

I’m planning to order some COL to remineralize one of my molars that just lost a chunk of decaying tooth (yuck) as well as improve my overall dental hygiene and condition. (I’m also planning to introduce raw dairy into my diet, and continue oil pulling more faithfully.)
I was going to buy COL at Green Pasture, but then was also checking out the Garden of Life kind at iHerb and noticed the price difference is dramatic ($40-44 at greenpasture.org compared with ~$13 at iHerb — both about 8 oz. bottles — correct me if I’m wrong haha).
Is it because Green Pasture’s is fermented?
And would you recommend the fermented if I’m very serious about saving/healing my teeth?
If I go with Green Pasture, would you recommend the cod / butter oil blend for the added benefits?
Thanks for this post and all your personal replies!

Purified water, carboxy methyl cellulose, xylitol, sodium citrate, citric acid, flavor, stevia.

In case it needs to be said, this article is BS. Cavities cannot be remineralized. Very small areas of demineralization on a tooth can be remineralized and your saliva will naturally take care of that for you but once you have an actual hole in your tooth, your body can’t fix that and you have to go to the dentist to have it filled.
Sandra said,

Thank you for sharing the natural way. I had a molar tooth with Two prior root canals and it became very painful. Last week an oral surgeon pull it out in two sections , as he was concerned it was brittle from the 2 root Canals and would fall apart. I had problems bleeding the first 48 hrs and it’s still seeping blood. Today is day 4 and it’s so painful. Praying. I don’t get dry socket from all the bleeding. I work in customer service and talk all day. To no avail , the pain was to unbearable this morning and couldn’t work. Please enlighten me as to a natural remedy for the pain. Thank you.

Oh Please! ! HELP ME! I almost cried in the dentists office today! I was hysterical! 8 months ago I went there and they said I had 10 cavities and they drilled 4, and I started flossing and brushing 3 times day! I would take fermented cod liver oil a tablespoon a day, but would forget a lot. TODAY I went to the dentist 8 months later and I still have 5 cavities from the last time that are small, but the dentist insists on drilling! I SAID! I WILL NOT! I REFUSE TO GET MY TEETH DRILLED! I don’t do any gluten, soy, dairy, or grains accept the occasional white rice and coconut flour here and there! I do have some dark chocolate and almond milk in smoothies. I am heavy on coconut oil and milk, take omega 3s and green smoothie. I only eat fish, meat, veggies, and fruit, and some sweet potatoes! Should I up my dosage of cod liver oil to 3 or 4 tablespoons a day? I do have keratosis pillars that I started taking animal derived from fish vitamin A for…but My skin hasn’t really changed…so I think i’m mega deficient in my fat solubles or either unbalanced? IT’s summer, i’m trying to get a lot of natural Vitamin D. My body doesn’t convert vitamin A well I think. I had low fat soluble vitamins since the age of 14 and I’m 21 now. I’ve been supplementing, but it doesn’t even seem to be enough. I take 8000 iu of vitamin A, with Zinc, and a tablespoon of cod liver oil.
Does oil pulling really help remineralization?

Hello, Heather. Great blog!! One question please. I thought we were using a fermented cod liver oil but it’s mentioned throughout the reader’s comments that the cheaper non-fermented variety (like Carlsons) is good enough? I’d rather not spend $60-65 on 8oz. of the fermented stuff when the cheaper stuff is good enough. Please, what’s your opinion on this? Do I go with the cheaper stuff like Carlsons or Garden of Life? Thanks so much, John

What did the teeth look like when they started remineralizing? I have been following most of these protocols for a few months now in an attempt to remineralize a few cavities discovered at my last checkup. First I’ve had in my 30 years. I’ve started to notice white spots on some parts of my teeth when I shine a light on them. I’ve read this could be a sign of early decay of the enamel. I can’t believe with the changes I’ve made to diet, supplements and hygiene the teeth are still decaying. Wondering if the white spots could be a sign of new mineral deposits that haven’t hardened into regular enamel? Just guessing on that. Thoughts?

Is it possible for full teeth remineralization? Like, when a person do bruxism, then his/her teeth wore away, then do diet above?

Hello, people!
I would like to ask anyone who experienced teeth regrowth to contact me. I’ve been following Cure Tooth Decay died, and not only my enamel seems to regrow, but some missing parts of my teeth are filling in.
It’s not a rapid process, but it works. Got everything in photos, so no cheats here.
Not to mention that, according to science, that’s impossible.
arealfoodlover – I would be glad if you could tell me of your health experiences. Did you notice such phenomena in your case?
Please contact me via mail.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Richie

Hi Heather, I’ve been trying to remineralise for the past 8 months with little effect. It’s very depressing and I started to get sensitivity in a cavity I had. I freaked out and had it drilled and filled, and now the tooth is sensitive from the front AND the back. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, if it’s too much phytic acids or not enough bone broth. Did I do the right thing by having it drilled and filled? Should I have gotten a second opinion? Did I misinterpret the increasing sensitivity when I upped the vitamin A & D intake as more decay? I thought having the cavity fixed was the best way to keep as much tooth as possible, but now that’s tooth structure I’ll never get back.

Thanks for sharing!
Just curious as to why you make it a point to have one tablespoon of sugar a day?
And, did your change in diet affect your weight or other parts of your body?
Thanks again!

Did you have pain with your large cavity? I have a large cavity and I’m trying to reminerlize but the pain is unbearable. Sometimes just drink water will cause my nerve to go haywire. I feel like I need something to temporary fill it with so I can reminerlize without pain.

Hi Larry, maybe you can try this: whenever I have pain in my not-so good teeth (ugh…!), I rinse it with a little salt water: dissolve a pinch or two Himalayan salt in lukewarm water (can’t tell you the exact amount, it’s like when you have a salty soup), keep it on the painful side and it will be GONE within a few minutes, no matter how bad it was.

Google “black walnut hull tincture” – people have regrown their dentin and enamel with swishing and swallowing it.
