Dental Health Warning for Anticholinergics & NSAIDS
-
I've had some serious allergy symptoms in North Texas after trying the death cult diet called carnivore. Benadryl, Cypro, and Aspirin, have absolutely been the night and day difference. I have taken those daily since. But last year, I lost access to thyroid meds, and then started a high stress job that killed my sleep.
After about 6 months, I started getting tooth pain. This has not gone away, and slowly increased until now. I found Ray warning about dry mouth / poor saliva production causing this, and he specifically said anticholinergics can cause this.
I'm back on thyroid, so we'll see how it goes, but I'm giving them all a break right now.

Hi, what have you been eating these past weeks/months?
-
@LetTheRedeemed If low saliva is the problem, xylitol containing chewing gum/mints might be of use.
-
@jamezb46 oh good to know. thank you. I have access to some quality birch xylitol. Will try it out.

Hey @user1
It started about a year ago... but I've pretty consistently eaten clean. High calcium carbonate supplementation. one or 2 coffees with baking soda. Lower starch rices, gelatin, red meat, liver, oysters, eggs, OJ, milk. 2:1 ratio minimum of carb to protein.
2 problems that I think could've exascerbated it, I believe would've been too low protein intake, and for that high stress job, I basically lived on coke and coffee all day long. That was a lot of acid and phosphorus that both negatively impact teeth.

Hi, I suggest try higher manganese intake, it can can contribute to reduce teeth sensitivity, make teeths whiter more opaque, significantly harder.coconut flesh soft or harder, ripe Pinnaple, hazelnuts, pine nuts, mussles, stomach/tripes are all great sources in theory. I suggest try lowering/cutting the calcium carbonate, the liver specifically if you don't enjoy it raw unseasoned, the muscle meat specifically if you dont enjoy it and don't notice specific benefits from it. We don't need lot of proteins for teeths minéralisation wich is different than skull/jaw size and shape, high calcium intake is overrated for teeths, dairy despit being high calcium in theory can worsen teeths drastically in some people. All the foods I suggested you to try lowering is foods I have noticed personally can worsen teeth state, and I have read many people reporting the same

That has been my experience, especially when I’m more active with climbing. I also question if not having enough fat soluble vitamins in my diet is another factor because with no change to my protein intake, the tooth sensitivity I had in the recent past went away after increasing my egg intake from a couple to half a dozen daily in May.

@Jennifer wow. Yeah, I tried to lower my protein intake to ease up on my liver stresses (it did help a little at first), but adequate protein is clearly still a required component, so the more important part is fixing the liver, not just alleviating it. Something I’m surprised I never learned about was how adequate protein is anti-estrogenic. Definitely a valuable hormone “stack” to think of it that way too, lol
