b) Idem with essential oil, 3 x/d. 4/7 days, according to evolution. Lavendula vera and helichrysum Italian.

2° Scaling once a year at the dentist.
Monitor the bottom of the tooth, at the base of the gum, most effective with a rotating toothbrush, as soon as there is sufficient improvement.
3° Useful nutrients
Vit D (bones and immunity)
K2 tartar prevention + dentin
Key ideas:
Via the activation of osteocalcin, vitamin K2 promotes the growth of dentin (calcified tissue that underlies the enamel layer of teeth), and as new dentin develops, cavities are less likely to form. Dentin is like ivory, which can regenerate if the cofactors are present, notably the fat-soluble vitamins A D3 and K2.
We have a trillion bacteria in the oral cavity. Vitamin K2 helps maintain environmental balance (via pH, antioxidant effect and good health of soft tissues).
To illustrate the impact of vitamin K2 on the oral microbiome, Weston Price conducted a simple experiment several times. He treated patients with a butter oil very rich in vitamin K2 and found that cavity-promoting bacteria decreased by up to 95%, and sometimes disappeared completely.

Excerpt:
Here’s a more thorough explanation of the benefits of vitamin K2:
Builds New Dentin
Because osteocalcin is a K2-dependent protein, increasing vitamin K2 intake causes osteocalcin to work more efficiently. (11) When osteocalcin is activated by K2, it causes the growth of fresh dentin (calcified tissue that underlies the enamel layer of teeth), and when new dentin grows, cavities are less likely to form. (12, 13) (Note that this process also requires vitamins A and D.) (14)
Slows Tooth Degradation
Leads to Normal Facial Structure
See Weston A. Price to understand why K2 is important for facial development
Kills Cavity-Causing Bacteria
One key factor in cavity formation is the disruption of the oral microbiome.
To illustrate the impact of vitamin K2 on the oral microbiome, Price repeatedly conducted a simple experiment. He treated patients with a butter oil very rich in vitamin K2 and found that the cavity-promoting bacteria was decreased by up to 95 percent, sometimes going away altogether.
