K2 + Eggshell Powder + Mastic Gum = Superhuman Teeth????
-
Came across this tweet (not sure if he has an account here) and apparently chewing vitamin K & calcium infused gum reduced the occurrence of new cavities by 60-90%. Very interesting. I have read from many people how taking K2 reversed their cavities and such.
Mastic gum can also make teeth straighter apparently. I've had braces as a kid and only one tooth is a little bent inward so lets see if it works on that one. Also I have 1 cavity that isn't filled so lets see if it can be reversed.
I am adding 1mg of liquid K2 + some eggshell powder to my mastic gum everyday and will chew it like that.

Would the alcohol in kuinone make it unsafe to use in a mouthwash/gum?

@brandonbergbaron No, ethanol is fine. Its fine to apply under the tongue even. Also you can get in dissolved in EVOO.

Not surprised at all. I went to my dentist about two months ago and she remarked at how good my teeth were in contrast to nearly everyone in my age group and younger. She's aware that I use K2 MK4 and have high dairy consumption. We've discussed Peaty ideas to a low level during previous visits.
The avg millennial and Gen Z has horrid oral hygiene and periodontal disease is rampant. She attributes it to "health apathy", poor diet, and vaping, in that order. "Health apathy" is where you have someone-usually a young person- who "just doesn't care about [their] health", "everything's going to shit anyway, what does it matter that I need a filling."
Vapes contain propylene glycol which breaks down into acetic and lactic acid(IIRC) and propionaldehyde(a soft tissue irritant). These damage the teeth and gums directly. She's also seen a relationship between high % nic and low % nic and dental disease. Not surprisingly, Gen Z have higher % nic vapes, vape more than others, and therefore, have worse teeth.
As to poor diet, she remarks that she's put a filling into at least one tooth a year for people who drink nut milks regularly. Her colleagues in pediatric dentistry consider it rare to have a child from a nut milk household with good teeth, especially if they were put on nut milks at a young age.
Another thing is that Gen Z doesn't chew their food-most people don't- but Gen Z seems especially accustomed to biting off big chunks, chewing just enough to get it down, and moving on from that- boys and girls. The result is their teeth are never put under serious mechanical stress to strengthen them and the gums. The hardest thing the avg Gen Z person will chew on regularly is a carrot dipped in ranch.
Mastic gum may help teeth straightening by providing a stimulus to have straight teeth; if you don't need straight teeth to transfer force from tooth to jaw without damage, then why would you straighten them? Sparse chewing, soft foods, lots of liquid calories removes the stimulus for strength and stability.
I take k2 m4(2mg daily) which I rub into my gums and move around with my tongue to cover my teeth. I consume milk, chew my food well, don't smoke, get vit D, and speak good words.

Interesting idea. Im taking K2 orally 10mg/day. But its worth a try doing it your way as well.
Personally never vaped but not surprised they ruin your oral health.

Wow.

My method isn't based on anything special, just an intuitive thought that I turned into a practice.
Wow.
Yeah, it's messed up. When haidut talked about telling his child's daycare "absolutely no nut milk," I understood completely. I don't have kids but do some teaching and tutoring for youngsters so I show up in a few private schools for rich, progressive families and their school lunch menus are tofus, vegan meats, nut milks, vegan hummus platters, etc.

@JulofEnoch Wonder if I can make toothpaste with k2 + calcium. Maybe baking soda?
-
I've done K2 in baking soda, it gets carried away in the froth because the alternative is swallowing whatever shit you scraped off your teeth and tongue. I usually brush, then apply.

@JulofEnoch Yeah that makes sense. My mastic gum idea is better.
