Hi, my first time on this wesite

I have so many cavities and i hate that, especially for 2 of the front teeth.
I’ve been at the dentist but they ask for thousands of dollars which i don’t have.
What some of you suggest to do?
If really baking soda works i’m going to try it too.
I don’t know about spinach, i never heard about this ‘treatment’

Thanks a lot guys

Monica, Don’t get another bridge! The same thing will happen again. Food gets stuck under the bridge and infects the good tooth next to them. Get an implant instead. It’s the only way out and will last you a lifetime. ]]>

Hi Renée, do you know for sure if Baking soda could have any long term side effects and if it can truly STOP a cavity from growing!?? I cannot take the risk to test it, because the cavity I have, is inside the bridge which has cost me USD7000, meaning they will have to remove it to take away the cavity and remake a whole new bridge!!!! I have to treat it urgently But I don’t know if any of those Mediterranean Wild Oregano oil or Tea tree oil, could really STOP cavities from growing. So far I’m cleaning the bridge with natural Salty water! ]]>

I have been brushing my teeth for the past 4 months with just Baking Soda,with an electric toothbrush.

Within 3 days all of my gum disease disapeared!

My gums were red, receding and bleeding when flossing. Now they are pink and no bleeding.

I have a couple of cavities that I am holding out on having treated…hoping that the information I have read here and on the internet is correct, that the teeth can heal themselves.

My teeth certainly feel stronger and more anchored into my gums since the Baking Soda.

O.K…..prepare to be shocked! I am going to make controversial statements about why I don’t have cavities and you can sort out what you want to believe.

Firstly; I don’t brush my teeth! I have not had a cavity in over a year! I am 64 years old and active in all facets of home maintenance including roof work and tree trimming!
I drink red wine every night before bed. I don’t use mouthwash.
I take several herbs for my medical conditions; (perhaps they also discourage cavities) fenugreek, turmeric, bilberry and also 1000 mg niacin; six fish oil capsules; alpha lipoic acid with l-carnitine; cinnamon and a couple baby aspirin every day.

My body is filled with platinum from nine months of chemo completed three years ago. I have had ten inches of cancerous colon completely surgically removed in 2006 and a quintuple heart bypass in 2005.

I also take lisinopril and metoprolol to control my elevated blood pressure.

A root canal two years ago popped the cap off six months later which I never had replaced. The tooth actually appears to be regenerating! Perhaps I will make medical history!

All these chemicals in me have to be doing something!

Cavities cannot grow in an ALKALINE environment. I have brushed, and gargled, with Baking Soda all my life (I am 55 years old). I do NOT have a single cavity. I go to a dentist every five years for a bit of cleaning, any more frequent cleaning than this means I am losing 2-3 microns of enamel, which would defeat the purpose of preventing cavities. My ancestors have only brushed with baking soda, right out of the cheap box, and they kept their teeth (cavity free) until they died in their 100s. Also, alkaline environment in the body is preferred. You cannot get a cold or cancer if you are more alkaline than acidic (eat those veggies!!). When you are dying, and actually dead, every medical doctor knows you are as acidic as you can have ever been. Metabolic acidosis kills, in other words.

@Jon – Spinach is rich in oxalate acid. When you chew on spinach, the calcium in your saliva makes the compound ‘calcium oxalate’ and form the crystals on your teeth. Now when you have milk intake after that, more calcium is added to the compound.

It may have serious side effects too, like calcium oxalate stones in your kidneys.

I don’t know if your friend is right about this, but I would suggest just chewing some spinach and spitting it out in few minutes. May be the calcium oxalate crystals are helpful for our teeth, but not for our kidneys.

Dr. austin is wrong…flouride CAUSES tooth decay. Thats why dentists use it, they need your money when you have to keep coming back because of cavities. I use baking soda to brush and it works marvelously!! Do not trust dentists, they are only there for making money, and if they actually helped people they wouldn’t have any business or repeat customers. PLUS, FLOURIDE IS DEADLY AND POISONOUS!!! ]]>

In response to M. Cisneros way to ‘get the tissue/enamel to grow back’ i would like to offer some advice. Enamel is produced by ameleoblasts, which surround the tooth bud during development. Once the tooth erupts, there are no longer any cells (including ameleoblasts) surrounding the visible portion of the tooth. Fluoride does not create new enamel. Human beings cannot create new enamel once the tooth has erupted despite how good one’s immune system is – the cells are no longer present. So why does fluoride help? Fluoride replaces the calcium hydroxyapatite crystals (the mineralizated portion of the enamel ie. the strong part) with fluro-hydroxyapatite crystals, which are more resistant to decay. One someone starts seeing evidence of decay, dentists will often boost the fluoride to strengthen the teeth, and often arrest the progress of the decay.Once the decay reaches the dento-enamel junction, it is impossible to arrest the decay, and the bacteria must be removed by a dentist. Eliminating the film left by toothpastes containing fluoride is going to do nothing more than speed your trip to the dentist. ]]>

I have finally stopped using flouride toothpaste, and brushing with baking soda. I am 66, and three porcelein fillings on my top teeth (in front) fell out the same week.

I tried tea tree oil, and all it did was burn my lips. I am now trying cloves in olive oil on my cavities.

Does the process take a long time to heal? I am nervous about this.

I also have two teeth with seriously receding gums over them (eye teeth). I rinse with salt water a couple times a day.

I realize my age and somewhat poor health aggravate the situation, but will keep trying the cloves for a while. I wonder if I should go ahead and schedule a dentist as backup. Always takes a while to get in.

Anyone else use cloves, and it works?

Thank you.
