Prevention of Dental Caries
"Dental caries is an infectious disease which damages the structures of teeth. Tooth decay or cavities are consequences of caries. If left untreated, the disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, infection, and, in severe cases, death of the tooth. There is a long history of dental caries, with evidence showing the disease was present in the Bronze, Iron, and Medieval ages but also prior to the neolithic period. The largest increases in the prevalence of caries have been associated with diet changes. Today, it remains one of the most common diseases throughout the world.
There are numerous ways to classify dental caries. Although the presentation may differ, the risk factors and development among distinct types of caries remain largely similar. Initially, it may appear as a small chalky area but eventually develop into a large, brown cavitation. Though sometimes caries may be seen directly, radiographs are frequently needed to inspect less visible areas of teeth and to judge the extent of destruction." (Wikipedia)

[YEA] 11/18/2009: Jack from Toledo, Ohio: "TO FILL A CAVITY OR LOST FILLING,I've been using gorilla glue for the past 3 months ! with no side effects in 3 lost fillings,if you have pain from a cavity or lost filling soak a small piece of cotton off the tip of a cotton swab and put it in the cavity after soaking it in 3% Hydrogen Peroxide,"IT WORKS ISTANTY TO RELIEVE YOUR PAIN!"
Then to fill the cavity or lost filling, use a tooth pick and apply a small amount of the glue to the tip then fill the cavity, it takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up and doesn't fall out as fast as "Den Temp" does.
and you can eat on it !....GB....jack"
[WARNING!] 03/23/2012: Sharonicus from Jacksonville, Florida replies: "This is a very interesting fix! But having worked with gorilla glue, this terrifies me. Gorilla glue expands quite a bit when it dries. I'm not sure how "strong" the expansion is- if it's enough to crack a tooth open or not. I guess if it's just a small hole, then okay."

[YEA] 07/30/2007: william from Greenville, South Carolina: "My father practiced dentistry for well over 50 years in New Orleans, La. He took great delight in encouraging nutritional dentistry. The patients saliva sample was sent to a State of La. lab, which then forwarded their PH reading back to him. Today, PH strips do a faster job, and probably just as good.
My dad recommended elimination of all sweets, except for fruit and vegetables; plus rinsing the mouth after eating anything."
