Regrowing enamel
-
@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.

@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?
