[YEA] 04/26/2008: Mohammed from Birmingham, U.K. writes: "black walnut juglans nigra can help re grow tooth enamel and also praying to god (the one who gave you life and teeth in the first place) can be beneficial."
RepliesEC: "Juglans nigra, commonly known as black walnut or American walnut, is a tree species native to eastern North America. It grows mostly alongside rivers, from southern Ontario, Canada west to southeast South Dakota, south to Georgia, northern Florida and southwest to central Texas." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_walnut'
04/28/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Mohammed from Birmingham, U K -4/26/08 Are you re-enameling your teeth by eating the black walnut kernels as food - if not what part are you using and how?"
09/16/2009: Cindy from Cochrane, Wi, usa replies: "could you give more information on using black walnut for tooth enamel? thank you"
[YEA] 06/01/2011: Heidinelson621 from Bend, Or, Usa replies: "I want to confirm that black walnut does indeed re-grow tooth enamel. My daughter, who has cerebral palsy, had several of her adult teeth come in with almost no enamel on them (due to large amounts of medications given to her at a young age). We have been worried sick about this and I was convinced that she would end up having some major dental work done.About three weeks ago I remembered reading somewhere that black walnut can help with tooth enamel, so bought a bottle of "Black Walnut ~fresh green hulls" tincture and began giving her a dropperful in her morning tea and also a dropperful in her afternoon beverage whenever I remembered to. Last week while brushing her teeth I suddenly noticed that her teeth were very white with little discoloration! Others noticed it as well.
Today she had a checkup with a pediatric dentist and he proclaimed her to have excellent enamel and no cavities! I am thrilled with this outcome and want to let everyone know that this cure really works."
06/07/2011: Sissy Vasquez from Warren, Mi replies: "where can I get this black walnut at here in michigan to take to fix my enamel on my teeth and do you know if it matters what age you are? by the way im 31."
09/06/2011: Sarasam from Kent, Wa, Usa replies: "Hey how are we to take this? I've been adding in water for 4 weeks now and my teeth has not changed"
01/27/2012: Sophie from Los Angeles, California replies: "Can your teeth grow back with this "black walnut" if you have crowns and no tooth?Thanks in advance :)"
[YEA] 02/03/2012: Jessica from Oakville, Washington. Usa replies: "To everyone wondering about how to use Black Walnut. I am a mother of 5 and have had some dental problems not only with my own teeth but my husband and children as well. There are so many reasons to use Black Walnut tincture for your all around health but I will only adress its tooth repair qualities here. First adults should start out by adding two droppers full to aprox. 4 tablespoons of water (enough to swish in your mouth) and swish in your mouth for at least one minute after brushing. Do not spit the solution out, swallow it because it not only works externally but mainly internally. Do this three times a day for at least two weeks, or until you see some benefits. Then I recommened taking a dropper full once a day or so to maintain a healthy balance.All of our cavities were completely healed including my husband's wisdom tooth that was black and cracked in half. It will not grow new teeth but it will stop new decay and heal the cavities.
Remember that good health starts with a good attitude and healthy diet. Read Nourishing Traditions it is an eye opener!"
[YEA] 02/08/2012: Wongoblly from San Diego, Ca, Us replies: "Hi all, Yea it's working and I'm still using it probably for six more months or longer to re grow my teeth enamel. I read the above posts and thought I'd try it... Back story, from 1999 to 2000 my dentist had me use a bleaching kit at home. The directions said to bleach ONE hour a day but he said to use it EIGHT hours a day. After a year or two & several kits & bleaching a few times a year my teeth got darker and darker by the end of 2000. The white was almost completely gone. He said the teeth demineralized.. I've been taking BWO for about a month. In the first three days my teeth began to shine. Then areas starting to gradually fill in. I think at this rate and because of the damage done including some decay on some edges it's going to take 6 months or longer to complete.My concern is the toxicity of BWO (juglans nigra). After searching on the web it seems BWO is toxic and should be taken on a limited basis but I'm not sure about that. Currently using a dropper full twice day a day. I'd probably go for 5 years if that's what it takes to re grow my enamel.
Does anyone know if I can take BWO for long periods (I'm over 60)?
Thank you."
02/09/2012: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia replies: "I think if you want to re-grow your tooth enamel you first need to stop using normal toothpaste. It puts a film on the teeth which inhibit the teeth from remineralising.Sea salt is excellent for brushing your teeth with (I put some in a little water to dissolve it). Sea salt will kill the bacteria that causes decay. I then use some Bicarb soda in a little water and brush with it. Sea salt has trace minerals in it which is good for the teeth. I also swish around with sea salt in the mouth."
02/09/2012: Wongoblly from San Diego, Ca, Us replies: "Greetings Debbie, I stopped all flouride in late December. I totally agree with you. I started usng a certain tooth powder that the company name starts with uncle and they're out of Washington state. All natural with no baddy ingredients in there. I also ordered there tooth remineralization powder from another vender which was much cheaper than the manufacturer. I'll put sea salt on my list to try. thanks.Still need to know if my toes are going to fall off, just kidding, from prolonged BWO use."
02/11/2012: Wongoblly from San Diego, Ca, Us replies: "I'm currently using Dr ________'s which seems to be the most purist and green right out of the bottle. They all work but much of the time I doubled the dose on the darker previous ones. The others I tried were dark dark green and blackish. From a website it advises that BWO loses half its potency when it darkens. I finished off 3 bottles since early January of the lesser quality and now I started Dr ____ bottle. For safety I use about a 3rd to half dose compared to the others.Hope this is helpful. BWO is pretty awesome but still concerned about long term use."

[YEA] 01/27/2009: Penny from Great Falls, MT writes: "I decided to try borax powder half & half mix with baking soda as a tooth powder, and am very pleased with it. I had been using sea salt & baking soda half & half previously. The borax makes my teeth & mouth feel really clean, and has helped with my candida problem also."
Replies08/11/2009: Donna from Tallahassee, Fl replies: "Where did you get the Borax? Is it the same as the laundry detergent? Thanks..."
11/12/2009: Anonymous from Philadelphia, Pa replies: "yes it is. not boraxo (as this is mixed with soap) laundry borax is pure sodium tetraborate or should be."
12/19/2011: Obeybunny from Santa Ana, California, United States Of America replies: "The box of Borax I have says on the back that it should not be taken internally and that if you get any in your mouth or eyes, you should call the doctor immediately.Is borax safer to put in your mouth than the box says it is or do I have a bad brand? After reading your post on using borax with baking soda as a toothpaste, I went into my garage looking for some. But when my dad found out what I was going to use the borax for, he took it away from me and hid it elsewhere in the house.
So... does the borax you use have the same warning label or is there a food grade version out there? Thank you."

CALCIUM

[YEA] 06/22/2011: Erin from Naperville, Il writes: "For the last year, I've been experiencing frequent sensitivity in my teeth. At first, I thought it was my morning lemon juice and water so I cut that out, but I still had it. Then I switched to a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth and while that helped a lot, it didn't eradicate it. The only time I had any relief was when I took ibuprofen. Finally, one day, my husband came home from his annual physical and said he was in great shape except that the doctor said he should start taking a daily calcium pill because people over 50 start losing calcium. That's when it hit me. I remembered the old Wonder bread commercials from when I was little... "12 vitamins and minerals for strong bones and teeth! " or something like that.
I went out and bought a bottle of calcium pills and began taking 1000 mg. A day. In no time, my tooth sensitivity was gone! I stopped using the special toothpaste and went back to my morning lemon juice and water and still no tooth sensitivity. It's been about four months now and it hasn't returned. All I have to do is take my daily calcium pills and I'm fine!"

COLLOIDAL SILVER
11/23/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia writes: "I watched an interesting youtube video yesterday whereby a girl who had two small cavities started swishing her mouth with colloidal silver. Her cavities seemed to stop. It does make sense in that if cavities are caused by bacteria in your mouth, the colloidal silver will kill that bacteria. She also added silica and msm to her diet as well.
It got me thinking that oil pulling with coconut oil would probably work as well because it is also anti bacterial. I am sure a diluted iodine would work as well.
I say this because my son seems to have a small cavity in a tooth. I am going to start brushing his teeth with coconut oil and see how it progresses.

DIETARY CHANGES, HORSETAIL, SILICA

[YEA] 12/19/2011: Obeybunny from Santa Ana, California, United States Of America writes: "I heard that one of the reasons a person gets cavities, it is most likely due to deficiency of silica in your diet, poor overall nutrition, and prolonged mistreatment of your teeth by eating enamel dissolving foods (like carbonated soda pop)
These are the two things I've researched online.
Method 1: Obtain more silica in your diet by consuming a particular species of Horsetail. The Latin name is Equisetumhyemale. It is an upright, non branching species of horsetail that kind of looks like skinny dark green bamboo. All aerial parts of the plant are edible. You do not want the species that has small branchings at each joint because that species is mildly toxic. You want to eat horsetail because has the most silica of any edible plant in the natural world.
Horsetail powder can be purchased at organic grocery stores (like Mothers) or online. Horsetail plants can be purchased at most plant nurseries. If you can't afford either, check to see if some of your neighbors or parks have horsetail plants growing in their front yards as they are a common decorative plant (but please, no stealing).
Method 2: Obtain more nutrition. Remember that indigenous tribes eating indigenous foods have had nearly always perfect teeth and almost supper human health by modern American standards, and that their health declined substantially when they start eating a more Western diet. (There are a lot of Native Americans alive today who have horrible teeth who had ancestors who had beautiful, cavity free teeth. The Native Americans who live on reservations who are sent food from the government that is based on the food pyramid tend to have all the same problems as the rest ofAmerica, such as obesity and terrible teeth)
What you need to do is avoid all processed foods, and instead eat nutrient dense foods such as chicken eggs, goose eggs, dandelions, wheat grass juice, and sprouts. Cordyceps and garlic are also good foods to add to your diet. Eggs should appear to have a dark orange yoke, not a yellow one (yellow yoked eggs are practically anemic. Yolk color has nothing to do with breed of chicken). Sometimes the best way to make sure you are getting the absolute best food is to grow it yourself (I had no idea carrots were naturally sweet until I started growing them in my backyard. I have eaten carrots at least once a week for every week of my life and eating a sweet carrot was a complete shock to me when I did so for the first time at the age of 21).
---
Good luck. Don't drink soda pop."

ELIMINATE GLYCERIN
08/03/2011: Angela from Seattle, Wa writes: "My recommendation to re-grow enamel is to brush your teeth with a powder or natural dental fibers that do not contain any glycerine. In the past when I've been using glycerine toothpaste, particurly the natural brands that do not have fluoride, I have begun to notice some dark spots on my front teeth. From reading a blog on the subject, I suspect that glycerine coats the teeth and prevents them from remineralizing overnight. The dark spots - my guess - are places where the enamel is wearing away and/or stains are taking root.
Once I start using the dental fibers only for a few nights, my teeth go back to looking clean and white.
I have even had success by following up a foamy toothpaste brush with a second brush of only dental fibers.
I am curious to hear anyone else's experience on this. Here is the link that gave me the idea about glycerine. http://www.naturallyknockedup.com/try-it-tuesday-homemade-toothpaste/"
Replies08/08/2011: Julia from Gaithersburg, Maryland replies: "Can you please describe what are "dental fibers" as opposed to tooth powder? also, what you mean by following up a "foamy toothpaste brush" with dental fibers -- are you referring to brushing first with a "natural" fluoride-free toothpaste containing glycerin, and then removing the residue (from glycerin?) with the "dental fibers?" Thank you. (I posted separately on 8/7/11 with concerns about my tooth enamel visibly eroding after switching to a natural toothpaste as well as trying some other remedies; not sure the cause of the sudden enamel erosion but I want to stop/repair it). Thanks so much."

06/10/2010: Lindsay P from Ripon, North Yorkshire, England Writes: writes: "Very interesting info - are ionic toothbrushes available anywhere and is absorbable calcium the title from Holland & Barratts? I have developed generalised tooth sensitivity and am wondering if this is to do with thinning enamel. I am researching how your diet affects your teeth but more from an internal perspective than external (sugar/teeth cleaning etc). There seems to be some evidence that this can help. Many thanks for your advice"
Replies06/11/2010: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, France replies: "I got tooth sensivity by brushing too hard with an electric toothbrush but I cured it completely by brushing with Sensodyne. After a few days the sensitivity was gone. I don't use Sensodyne anymore because I don't want to use tooth pastes with fluoride but no problem because the sensitivity never came back!"
09/15/2010: Miss Y from Southern California, United States replies: "For tooth enamel issues try coral calcium. I've had a lot of tooth problems (one broken molar, many cavities, darkening teeth), and the problem, I believe (besides an imperfect diet, which undoubtedly started the problem), is that an ordinary calcium supplement or even a calcium/magnesium/vitamin D supplement doesn't do much good to replenish calcium in the teeth (or bones), as most calcium in calcium supplements isn't absorbed efficiently in the digestive track. But I could feel the difference in my ordinarily sore and sensitive teeth shortly after I took a coral calcium capsule. I believe that the calcium in coral is more bioavailable, as the little coral organisms have broken down the calcium for me beforehand."
[WARNING!] 09/16/2010: Diane from Berkeley, Ca replies: "I would be very wary of coral calcium. In addition to concerns about illegal harvesting of reefs, this is not a pure product. When Consumer Reports tested several brands of coral calcium in 2005 they found high levels of lead. Additionally, since coral calcium can only be harvested from dead reefs, it begs the question of what caused coral to die. While it could be benign factors such as increase in temperatures, it could also be more negative causes such as spills of oil from ships, discharge of industrial waste into reef areas, etc. In short, you don't know what pollutants are in this product, and you are chancing your health on using it. You can query the web also for many reports on the quackery and danger of this product."

[YEA] 04/22/2008: M Bolton from Leeds, England writes: "Toothbrushes that release negative ions will definately re-mineralise teeth. I use an ionic toothbrush and then swish unsweetened liquid calcium around my mouth. Years ago I strengthend a tooth that the denist said was like paper. I used a negative ioniser machine right up close to the front tooth. The dentist was then able to cover it with a resin filling. I wish the toothbrushes had been aveilable in those days!"
Replies05/31/2008: Sean from San Francisco, CA replies: "Addressing Re-Grow Tooth Enamel. Question for M Bolton - What brand of liquid calcium do you use? Many brands have citric acid, which I believe has a bad effect on enamel."
06/25/2008: M Bolton from Leeds, England replies: "Hi Sean. In reply to your query, I use Absorbable Calcium with Vitamin D from Holland & Barratt. Just split open a capsule and swirl the contents around the mouth. It is calcium carbonate. It has also been found that vitamin K2 helps calcium bind to bones. This might be a useful supplement to take internally but it is quite expensive. Also, a small ultra-sound device which fits in the mouth will apparently make it possible to completely re-grow teeth in the future. If you type in a search on the web for'regrow teeth with ultra-sound' you will find the relevant articles.
Hope this is of some help."

Chew about a head of lettuce a day, organic preferred, for about a week or so. I've done this and it has helped my teeth tremendously. There is also a wonderful toothpaste called coral white that has all natural ingredients and will help build and strengthen your teeth."

REMEDIES NEEDED
12/01/2011: Rachel from Mission, Bc, Canada writes: "Hi there,
My name is Rachel and I have been breastfeeding my daughter for over 2 months now. I know that if you don't provide enough calcium from your diet for your baby she will start taking your stores of calcium. I have a few teeth that are starting to change from white to grey.. I am wondering if there is anything I can do now to prevent my teeth from falling out at this point.. Is there any way of healing my teeth that are now grey?? I am just wondering what my options are??? I would love to continue breastfeeding my daughter but I don't want all my teeth to fall out as well..."
Replies12/17/2011: Jessica from Vancouver, Bc replies: "A great way to get minerals absorbed quickly for you and your babe, is to take Schussler's Tissue Salts, often found in Canada as Hyland's brand.Get #1 Calc. Flouride This will re-enamel your teeth and
#2 Calc. Phos. This will help with your uptake of calcium.
Take 1 tab. 4x a day. I found that I had whiter teeth in a short time. These salts will also ensure your baby has strong teeth."

10/24/2011: Treemama from Ib, Ca, Usa writes: "Hi,
My two year old son has weakened tooth enamel and some decay. We have been using an electric toothbrush and natural, flouride free toothpaste. I also give him some xylitol granules throughout the day. After looking over some old posts I am now concerned about some of my choices. Should I be using some special kind of toothbrush? Is electric too rough? What about toothpaste? What's the use using natural toothpaste if the glycerin is causing harm or preventing good? Should I be making my own? Or xylitol directly? Is black walnut safe for little ones? I am desparate for advice. We need to repair the enamel as well as prevent damage. Am completely overwhelmed by it all. And terrified of causing further harm. Please help!"
Replies10/24/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia replies: "Treemama, on the westonprice.org website, they have some info on butter oil being good for "remineralising" the teeth. I give my son fermented cod liver oil and butter oil (they work together best) and I am hoping it will help his teeth (one which has some problems). You can read the info on the above website.I wouldn't use an electric toothbrush on a child). I brush my own teeth with coconut oil and baking soda. I have hardly any tooth problems at all and I didn't have my teeth brushed when I was a toddler (did me no harm).
A lot of toothpastes contain saccharin ... Not good for anyone to take."
10/25/2011: K.d. from Siena, Italy replies: "Hi Treemama - does your toddler have any digestive disturbances? Sometimes weakness in a child's tooth enamel is indicative of a malabsorption issue - such as with Celiac disease. If there is a malabsorption issue then the teeth wouldn't be getting enough of the minerals they need to be strong and healthy."
10/25/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia replies: "Also on the Dr. Mercola site yesterday I read that Vitamin D deficiency can cause tooth decay. Make sure that your toddler gets plenty of sun or takes a natural vitamin D supplement (not synthetic)."
10/26/2011: Treemama from Ib, Usa replies: "Thank you all so much for the responses. I have been reading up on the cod liver oil and butter oil. Lots of info. We have been to see a traditional dentist and he told me that my son has hypoplasia and nothing could be done. He also told me to use flouride toothpaste and said that an electric toothbrush would be fine. After the appt I went to a health and vitamin shop run by a naturopath. She sold me a flouride free toothpaste which we have been using up until a few nights ago after reading about the dangers of glycerin. I have seen another dentist since who also said it was hypoplasia. I am not sure about the malabsorbtion issue but will look into it. Thank you all so much!"

08/07/2011: Julia from Gaithersburg, Maryland writes: "Hi, I think I am noticing that my tooth enamel is starting to wear away just this past week... I have a "rough patch" (can feel it with my tongue and fingernail) not due to plaque at the tip of one of my lower incisors. Never had this before. For general health and wellbeing, I have been experimenting with multiple remedies, ACV with baking soda (through straw, rinsing mouth afterwards) for about a month (which definitely gives me more energy), Vitamin C ascorbate (also mixed as a powder with baking soda and rinsing afterwards). We have fluoridated water here. And for years, I just used conventional toothpaste without realizing. I switched to a "natural" fluoride-free toothpaste which contains glycerin... Now I just read somewhere that glycerin can cause enamel to wear away so I am hoping brushing with just baking soda and rinsing with sea salt will help. And... I tried oil pulling for the first time two days again (now I am beset with head and neck pain).
Anyway, my main question has to do with my teeth. I am very concerned about my enamel and do not want it eroding from any of these remedies. Do any of you have knowledge of what I maybe should stop doing, or should try instead? I want to know how to safely clean my teeth (I already have very healthy teeth, by the way, with no discoloration/spots. I don't want to ruin them, though. I am 48 years old and I have about 7 amalgam fillings on molars that have been in my mouth since I was a child).
Should I not do oil pulling since I have these fillings? (I cannot afford to have them removed right now). I also heard that some people have their fillings fall OUT with oil pulling -- is that a risk of oil pulling?
And especially, what do I do about the enamel on my teeth. Above all, I want healthy teeth and gums, and especially the teeth that show at the front of my mouth! I want to know how to clean my teeth (what kind of toothpaste, etc. what to avoid since I don't want to go back to fluoride toothpaste), and can the enamel be restored?
Thank you."

STAINS
11/16/2011: Jennifer from Sunrise, Fl, Usa writes: "I enjoy tea, red wine, and coffee several times a week - but I don't enjoy the stains they leave behind. Here is my daily regimen that has not only helped me to get beautifully white teeth, but also has greatly improved my oral and overall health and has almost completely cured my gum disease:
- Oil pulling - this is the most effective teeth whitening solution I've found, and it does absolutely no damage to the enamel of your teeth. I swish with a tablespoonful of unrefined sesame oil every morning. I saw results just after 2 days!
- Silica-based toothpaste - Who says you need to use industrial, SLS-based toothpastes to get white teeth? Natural toothpastes that contain silica are powerful teeth whiteners.
- 3% hydrogen peroxide and sea salt rinse - After oil pulling and brushing, I mix a solution of 1/2 or less HP with 1/2 or more water, and then add a pinch of sea salt. Rinse for about 2 or 3 minutes, then spit.
- Flossing - an absolute essential to get the stains out from in between your teeth, and for gum health. While everyone should strive for daily flossing, even 2-3 times a week would be beneficial.
Hope this helps! Stay healthy and beautiful :)"

XYLITOL

[YEA] 02/05/2011: Dennis from Byhalia, Ms writes: "I healed my teeth by lightly brushing two or three times per day with Pure Xylitol (not the mouth rinse). Buy the "packets"like sugar comes in.
Xylito is extracted from birch trees (wood grain alcohol) but you will think it is sugar (but it is not sugar! )"taste Great"too!
When I can't brush I even pour on tounge and crunch the granules up in between my teeth and swish the product throughly around and between my teeth for about three or four minutes then spit.
In the AM and PM simply pour the packet in palm of hand dip a "dry" tooth brush in the xylitol power and brush.
(no water needed)A flood of natural saliva will kick in and do the work!
Warning: Xylitol is safe for humans but is highly toxic to our pets. This has to do with their liver function.
No kidding I have found that xylitol will erase small cavitys and will stop a large cavity in it's tracks allowing the dental hole to actually fill itself naturally to a great extent and repair itself to a large degree in a very short time span.
I have also found any large decay that might be left behind stops growing immediately and becomes hard and useful for chewing again.
PS: You will also immediately notice a pinker tounge and fresher breath the very next morning you awake.
$60 bucks or so will currently buy a years supply of pure xylito in small paper packets (just like sugar on a resturant table is packed. )
And for me $60 is cheaper than a dental bill and drill any day.
Stick with it because xylitol begins working day one by stripping (all) of the tarter away from teeth. Therefore the bacteria that feed on that tarter have no way to grow. This means there is no acid left behind on the tooth enamel which is what causes a cavity to form in the first place! (whitens too with out harming enamel)"
02/06/2011: Stacy from San Diego, Ca replies: "Dennis (or anyone! ) how long have you used the xylitol to restore your enamel (or cavities). I've been looking for something for my kids teeth. I don't know why all the kids seem to have yellow teeth! My kids don't eat excess of sweets, don't drink soda or juice. I'm wondering if this xylitol could help (they use Tom's of Main no flouride toothpaste that has a little in it... But mybe other ingredients are worsening?)"
[YEA] 02/06/2011: Pam from Casper, Wy. USA replies: "My kids teeth were a problem, too. With yellowing and cavities. We found a company on line that sells a full line of products. We get tooth paste, mouth wash, gum and mints with xylitol. The kids teeth have improved greatly with the xylitol. I know that I can't list the product name but if you e mail me I will be hapy to give it to you."
02/06/2011: Clarity from Los Angeles, California, Usa replies: "Intersted in receiving the company's name you order xylitol. Thanks Clara"
02/06/2011: Stacy from San Diego, Ca replies: "Hi Pam, I couldn't figure out how to email you :-/ I'm wondering if the products that you used were "Spry" (I think that's the name... ) how long did you use them before you noticed a difference for your kids? Do you use ALL those products for your little ones? Moutwash and all? And did you notice the yellowing go away? Enamel look thicker???
Thanks SO much!"
02/07/2011: Pam from Wy, U.s.a. replies: "Hi, I think the website is epicdental.com. The product name if I am allowed to post it is Epic. All the products contain xylitol and no fluoride. I think it was about 10 days to 2 weeks and I started to notice a big difference in their teeth and breath. They use the toothpaste, gum, and mouthwash."

04/08/2011: Mommy Kmalik from Philadelphia, Pa replies: "The xylitol on the above mentioned site is derived from corn. So does that make it impure or harmful? My daughter's dentist told me yeasterday that she wants to put my 2 year old under general anesthesia to fill two cavities and put a crown on top of the bigger one. I am in a frenzy trying to look for an alternative to this treatment."
[NAY] 05/06/2011: Vandu from Silver Spring, Md replies: "I've been trying Dennis's suggestion of dry brushing with xylitol ( I got the brand NOW), and over the past two weeks, I feel there has been even more enamel loss. I dont know if it's because of the xylitol, or because of me grinding my teeth more. Ever since I started breastfeeding (now almost 7 weeks), my teeth seem to be losing enamel rapidly. during pregnancy my teeth and gums were great. and postpartum my gums are still strong and pink.. But I did find three receding gums and dentist says it's due to teeth clenching or grinding. I think he said the teeth grinding is also causing enamel loss. I'm not getting as much sleep and I find myself waking up with my jaws clenched. so I dont know if it's that I'm doing this more (due to stress), or if it was the xylitol, but my teeth have lost more enamal in just the past two weeks.I'm going to stop the xylitol and go back to dry brushing with salt and a drop of neem oil. I dont know what else to do."

You can order it on line or buy it at your local drug store. I read it somewhere on the internet that you can boil it, then bite on it so that it can mold to your teeth."

(I know dentists charge a lot more) Since then, I have found them in the sporting goods section for . 98 cents. They come in youth or adult size, and have the directions on the package of how to fit them to your mouth. I bought the youth size and wear it on my bottom teeth as this seems to feel less "bulky"."

Hopefully it will be better. It didn't whiten my teeth either... Been using the toothpaste for about 1 month... used the granules for about 3 months."
