Regrowing enamel

[max]

Similarly, does anyone know anything about reversing gum recession?

@HubblyBubbly wont leaving milk on the teeth allow bacteria to grow?

@henkboogaart014 If you have no food particles stuck on your teeth, then there’s nothing the sugar can feed on. So just make sure ur teeth are clean before

@brad fillings made of Eugenol and zinc are nontoxic iirc

[HubblyBubbly]

@henkboogaart014 Quite the opposite. Proteins in milk (lactoferrin in particular) inhibit the formation of biofilm, and have many other functions in preventing bacterial overgrowth.

This article makes a good case for drinking milk as a tool for dental hygiene.

But if bacteria is a problem the bandaid solution would be to raise oral pH to neutralize the lactic acid byproduct of bacterial anaerobic respiration. That + fluoride is basically what mainstream mouthwash achieves anyway.

@HubblyBubbly i’m talking about regrowing, not remineralizing enamel. The thinking goes, once the enamel is destroyed, there is no structure for hydroxyapatite to be deposited into.

@latin-0 I've heard Lithium Chloride can help regenerate the dentin itself, maybe it'll work for the enamel

@latin-0 the study in my first reply specifically references the remineralization of enamel lesions

The idea that enamel is lost forever might just be an industry supported myth to sell more daily prevention products

I’m not sure if reversal of total loss of enamel has been studied bc it’s very rare/unlikely. How would that even happen unless it was physically scraped off in addition to being chemically eroded over a long time?

If localized tooth sensitivity is the only issue then there’s plenty of people who’ve reversed it.

@HubblyBubbly the enamel on the tooth can be destroyed if it is not cleaned and bacteria is left to dissolve it with acid over a long period of time, like in drug addiction or depression when hygiene is not kept, or bulimia.

Go to the dentist.

There was a large and compelling study done on Canadian children involving xylitol. From memory, the kids who chewed xylitol gum had something like 85% fewer cavities after one year than the control group.

Can't speak to regrowing enamel, but I have successfully reversed my longstanding bleeding/tender gums through vitamin k and vitamin c. I also think the big fat elephant in the room with dental health is endotoxin and the state of one's gut. Not that a dentist would ever agree.

@max Mix water with baking powder and a small amount of turmeric, swish it around for at least 5 mins and then do the oilpulling type of movement (pulling it through teeth) for 3 mins, then do the same with coconut oil after. Almost entirely reversed periodontal bone loss this way.

Is there a safe way to use calcium hydroxide to remineralize teeth? I’m also fighting receding gums and tooth erosion.

Oh wow, great tip. Thank you! Goin to try.

@shedim do you mean baking soda? Or baking powder?

Interesting.

@max Both work so I used the term interchangeably, I'd start with powder though, not too much.

@shedim interesting. Is there any risk of staining teeth? Are you saying you actually had bone regrowth doing this?
