My teeth are remineralizing.
I've been working on it for a few years. Six or seven years ago, before I ever got pregnant, I had starter cavities between my teeth. I switched to Weleda's Calendula toothpaste. Has calcium in it, and no fluoride. The starter cavities went away, and so did my tooth sensitivity. I stopped getting cleanings because they seemed to make everything worse.
My top two front teeth were still nearly see through and cracking. I started taking cal-mag. One tooth is nearly completely white now, and the other is getting there. The cracks are still there, but not as visible now that my teeth aren't translucent. I've been sprinkling xylitol over my toothpaste. I don't drink any sodas at all. I do drink honey sweetened teas. I have no tooth pain. No cavities. And I've been through three pregnancies. |

Re: My teeth are remineralizing.
I was all kinds of thrilled to find xylitol...till I realized it was made from corn, and I have a corn allergic child. *sigh*

Re: My teeth are remineralizing.
I only added xylitol in the last year. It was not the key ingredient here. And I do use one specifically made from birch.

Re: My teeth are remineralizing.
I didn't even know there was a such thing as xylitol made from birch! I'm gonna have to go shopping!
so weleda calendula toothepaste, cal/mag supplements, and no sodas..and the xylitol if I can find it. I think I can do that. I have a cavity forming right between my front teeth, it's so embarassing!

Re: My teeth are remineralizing.
My teeth re-mineralized too!!
Mine remineralized in one month after starting Mercola's Whole Food Multi Plus Vital Minerals. I had visible spots on my teeth where the enamel was gone. I had horrible cavities ever since I got pg w/ Simon. I had my first cavity-free check-up in 5 years. (I don't drink soda either. Soda is one of the WORST things for your body because of the sugar and acids.) There's a book called Cure Tooth Decay that helped me. The combination of calcium and bio-available phosphorous is important, as are saturated fats (coconut oil, grass-fed butter, etc). It's definitely worth the effort because when your body is deprived of minerals, it will pull them from your teeth. When that supply is gone, your bones are next. Once that starts, you can experience chronic health problems. Your teeth are a window to your overall health. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: My teeth are remineralizing.
Thanks so much for posting, Rabbit. I'm working on remineralizing my teeth as well as my boys. They have cavities galore as well as staining. I feel so bad for them. Now I have a better idea of what to do with them.
HomeWithMyBabies, what cal/mag powder do you use? |

Re: My teeth are remineralizing.
Just wanted to mention that the Weleda toothepastes and the emerald forest xylitol (from birch) are all on vitacost.com
I pretty much get all our supplements/health stuff there...so cheap and flat 4.99 shipping. |
