Dental Health Tips and Remedies

Dr brauners pure Castile soap, or I have heard the kiss my face soap. Not glycerin soap.

I, too, am perplexed as to which bar soap is best for brushing teeth. If glycerin is to be avoided, all the other (natural) ones I have seen contain oils, and I wonder if that would have a similar effect to oil pulling? I have some metal fillings, and am not in good enough health at the moment to deal with any sort of detox from them. Does anyone have solid info on a bar soap that would clean the teeth without risking some sort of oil-pulling reaction? Thanks so much.

Dr Bronner's liquid soap for tartar on teeth. I didn't realize I had tartar! I floss, brush with a coconut oil/sea salt/baking soda mix/oil of oregano, and rinse with regular peroxide. The tartar is in between my teeth, on the back side. I couldn't see it but I could feel it. Tt was causing some weird type of vibration in my mouth. Somehow I got the idea to turn off the light in the bathroom and check my teeth with my flashlight. And there it was. Yuck!

So I started my online research. The one thing I came upon time and again (that wasn't very expensive and that I already have in the house) was Dr. Bronner's liquid soap. Those who reported using it said it would SLOWLY wear the tartar away. I've brushed with it before in a pinch so the taste wasn't unknown to me. I was willing to try again. I'm happy to say that so far it's been working, and yes, slowly like everyone said. It really just depends on how much tartar is involved and (I guess) how old the tartar is.

It's been about 2 weeks now, brushing with one drop of the peppermint liquid soap at least twice a day. It makes a LOT of suds. My teeth feel silky and clean. I have also ordered a food grade peroxide to rinse with. I wish I could have taken pictures before I started up to now. But how in the world would I have gotten the camera into my mouth???

I am so thankful because I don't want another bloody dental cleaning, caused by the girl having to scrape sections where the ultrasonic didn't work well enough. Will post more in another week or two.

Don't listen to this post about dental health. Fluoride prevents cavities, as shown by hundreds of reputable studies. Toothpaste is far better than soap. Dental amalgam does not cause other illness (also shown by hundreds of reputable studies). There are so many lies here it is stunning. You want good oral health? Limit your intake of sugar, brush and floss twice a day, and see your dentist on a semi-regular basis. Thats just about all there is to it.

I believe the post by Pim from Vught, Netherlands on DENTAL HEALTH has a lot of truth in it. For many years dentists have known that metal tooth fillings are harmful to people's health, yet they put it in your mouth without warning you or giving you any other choices. Some people's bodies do fine with the mercury leaking into their bloodstream while others have serious health problems that causes much pain and confusion. Thank GOD for caring peole that are willing to go against the grain to help others be well informed about such matters. From this day forward I am going to start brushing my teeth with ivory soap instead of toothpaste.

I agree with Dr. Judd, Fluoride is a dangerous chemical and should never be ingested. Six months ago I installed filters to remove fluoride from my household drinking water. Within two weeks not only was everyones overall health better but even attitudes improved drastically. Nothing else changed here so i'm blaming it on fluoride.

To Diana from Danville: Hi Diana, Why use Ivory soap to brush your teeth with? Try mixing a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda and see how you like it.

I agree because all the indians and chinese and all the third world countries and people who live to be in excess of a hundred years of age and keep their teeth until death and don't have a mouth full of root canals and the hunza indians sure can't run afoot over all those mountains to walmart after some flouride toothpaste, modern medicine is a horrble evil and the modern denistry is A bunch of people telling you lies so they can charge you insurance company 400 dollars an hour. The only thing I find in the peter from pittsburgh post that sounds honest is cutting back on sugar.

GERARD F JUDD All the way
something to believe in.

There are a few problems with Flouride. #1 is Dental Flourosis(where flouride causes bad teeth, so dentists give you more flouride, which makes them worse). #2 it displaces iodine, causing iodine deficiency. #3 Flouride binds with Heavy Metals like Lead and Mercury, known carcinogens. I believe this is why flouride is Mutagenic.

Studies show that people who live in flouridated communities have higher levels of Lead in their blood. Iodine studies show that when people are given high doses of Iodine(6 milligrams/day), they start urinating Lead any Mercury at 3-fold increases. Nice. Fluoride, Bromide, and Aluminum also come out.

For bone health, Magnesium supplements reverse osteoporosis, so I suspect they are good for teeth as well.

This post about Floride got me to thinking about my history. At my parent's house growing up, we had a reverse osmosis water filter, and with the exception of one incident, none of us had any dental issues. Then I left home and went to college, and suddenly my teeth started rotting, and I had to go get them taken care of. Then after college, I had a reverse osmosis water filter, and had no teeth issues. Now, in a different state, I have no water filter, and suddenly, my teeth are rotting and painful.

Also, right after I moved here, I noticed that my teeth were extremely sensitive. I'd never had sensistive teeth before. I'd used various toothpastes with no issues. So I went and got toothpaste for sensitive teeth, which helped a little bit, but not enough to satisfy me. Then I read on this website that baking soda could be used for toothpaste. I started using it, and whew! relief! Whenever I changed back, instantly sensitive teeth! Then I noticed that my teeth were continuing to rot, which is bothersome, since I like never go to the dentist or doctor. As a rule, I find a natural way to do it, since I firmly believe that God gave us everything we need to live. So I got to reading this post and realised that this is why I am having problems. So I will be buying a reverse osmosis water filter hopefully very soon. It is such a relief to know that my teeth can heal themselves.

With respect to flouride, it is poison. In fact, this stuff is used to poison rats. The stuff that is put in the water supply is flouride chemical waste that other companies get rid of and sell. More to the point, we're over-flouridated. its in water supply, its in the mouthwash you buy, and its also in the toothpaste you buy. There is a study that provided a link to the rise of cancer to flouride.

Getting a filter to filter out flouride is expensive. A much cheaper method would be to ask/pressure your city council/county council to discontinue adding floride to the water supply. Get them to hold a public referendum on this.

I was once prescribed fluoride by a dentist as a mouth rinse. After my first use, I immediately noticed that my gums and teeth was covered in plaque. I had to brush my teeth a couple times to remove it. I tried the fluoride a second time and had the same results. I then read the insert and one of the side effects was that it could cause increase plaque. I have since started brushing with tooth soap and toothpaste with natural ingredients. I also brush with baking soda, peroxide, and turmeric.

Thank you for such amazing, eye opening information. I will try to tell as many people as possible for read this article.

Two years ago I had dry skin, dry mouth and dry eyes. I found out that if you are low in the omega oils, you're cells cannot hold onto water and you can stay dehydrated no matter how much water you drink. I started taking high quality omegas and not only did all my symptoms of dehydration disappear but the "floaters" in my eyes I had been bothered by also cleared up.

Francisca, I never heard about a possible connection between dental implants and dryness in eyes and mouth, but your posting sounded very similar to my own experience. Since some time ago, I'm not sure how long, I have had problems with dry eyes in the morning. When I wake up I barely can can keep my eyes open due to the strong dryness. I have to walk to the bathroom with my eyes closed, rub my eyelids with my fingers with some water to give some moisture to my eyes and only then I can keep them open. I also wake up with a completely dry throat and tongue so I need to have a zip of water. Guess what, it happens that I also got dental implants about three years ago. That's interesting!

This is interesting to me. I use to read a blog that is no longer available by a denturist. I also read a lot about health. It is possible that the metal in the implant is throwing off your mineral balance? A good hair analysis would clarify this. Our bodies create histamine if water or minerals get out of balance. The histamine can cause dehydration because it has to borrow water and resources from our bodies to be created. Then it causes the autoimmune symptoms.

Also dental implants create a dead zone in the mouth for bacteria to form. Like a root canal does. I had those. Anyways you might try some baking soda and coconut oil 50/50 past in the mouth all over coating during the night and see if it helps. One reason it would help is coconut oil kills bacteria, fungus, microbes, and virus and baking soda changes ph and neutralizes histamine reactions. During the day you could try some raw ginger 1/2 dime sized slice chewed up and leave residue on teeth.

Still learning. Hope you find some answers before symptoms become new health problems. Dry mouth ruins teeth.

I don't know what that condition is but I can encourage you to brush with coconut oil with a little baking soda in it. Eat some coconut oil to regulate blood sugars. Coconut oil is anti viral anti fungal anti microbial and anti bacterial. There are a lot of sites you can read up on it, if you are curious.... Hope it helps... my teeth are no longer sensitive and they are whiter and the floss comes out clean and the tongue is a healthy shade of red again.

There are also a few authors who wrote about healing your teeth with food and supplements and have some utube sites, can't tell you off hand ... Google search, Ted wrote about dental aids in one of these sites, I read it recently, maybe in children's remedies.

I was wondering if I could communicate with Joy from Battleground on her comment on healthy teeth. I also live right by her

Carly- I had the same problem 12 years ago. I had replaced all my old fillings with new ones and could not chew on one side because it was so sensitive. My holistic dentist did not know if it would get better. This was 3 months later! Then I found a farm to get raw milk from. After drinking it for one week I was pleasantly surprised by being able to chew on the side that was formerly so sensitive! As another bonus, the sensitivity of my teeth in general has improved. No more sensitive spots! To be fair, this was also about the same time that I started eating more organic veggies and Celtic sea salt. During this same period of time, a breast lump that I had had for 3 years also dissappeared. I think that had more to do with replacing the old fillings than the addition of raw milk to my diet. Good Luck!

Thanks Linda - I am lactose intolerant so can't do the raw milk - I would if I could though! Sounds like trace minerals may be key here. Yes, if I had dental insurance (and were a bit braver! ) I would love to get rid of all of the mercury in my mouth. Good for you! :-) Thanks again.

Hi Carly, Have you actually tried raw milk? I ask because my husband is very lactose intolerant and so are my kids and yet when we changed over to raw milk last summer they can all drink it w/ absolutely no side effects at all! Anyway, that's my two cents...

Hi Lisa - No... I have not tried it. Interesting, possibly raw milk would work.... I will look into it. I do know it is supposed to be great stuff.

Thanks!

Hi Sozo, I say look for someone else! That's ridiculous. My dentist whom I'd had for years kept ratcheting the price up and I stopped going. Then, a friend told me about her dentist and said he charged $70 for an amazing deep cleaning. She'd had him since the 70's and his prices and work are amazing. Not only that but he, himself did the cleaning not a dental hygienist like at my original dentist. So, I went and then took both my kids. And I live here in LA where prices can be ridiculous! So, look around and ask around. Best of luck to you, Lisa

Wow! That is outrageous. I have been having awesome results in taking care of my teeth by oilpulling with coconut oil and brushing with turmeric. Teeth are whiter than they have ever been as an adult and it has removed plaque. My mouth is very clean feeling and teeth very smooth. I see my gum line has come up as well. I oil pull right after I brush first thing in morning as it gets rid of any stain left from the turmeric and then brush with baking soda if there remains any bit of staining, but usually the oil pulling takes care of it. I oil pull strickly for the benefits to my teeth but if any other health benefits come from it, I'll take it. I notice that I need to blow my nose a few times after I pull, most likely it is cleaning me out.

My body toxin load is so high that twice daily oil pull really contaminates my mouth & teeth, regardless of using otc mouthwash and occasional H2O2 swishing; I don't use coconut oil but otc veg oil (proly got gmo's) but I at least fortify the oil w/ vit-A & E and BHT. My teeth have never been darker. Yesterday and today I applied 35% H2O2 w/ a q-tip directly on teeth w/ a foaming result. Some whiteness seems to be already appearing and a small but prominent stain seems to be diminishing. I could be hallucinating from hopefulness but I know the H2O2 will whiten. For mineralization I have been swishing water during whole body mineral bath which also seems to be strengthening the teeth. Also an apparent tapeworm cyst in my jaw has reeked havoc on my teeth by spewing out pathogens by the millions (i figure).

I wanted to let you all know of the benefits of using activated charcoal to whiten teeth. One website you can read about it is, Crunchy Betty and the other, is on YouTube with BeeyoutifulLiving. The former suggested doing a paste and leaving on teeth for 5 minutes and the latter has a recipe you put together to brush your teeth. It's 1/2tsp of activated charcoal, 1/2tsp of baking soda and 10 to 15 drops of peppermint oil. That's my toothpaste of a morning. I've been using that for the past week to whiten my teeth and what I like about the charcoal, is that it doesn't damage the enamel of your teeth. My teeth are really looking good. Pretty interesting stuff.... activated charcoal.

Thanks Bill, ever since someone recommended this book here a while ago I have been trying to get it but it is quite expensive so, after someone else gave me the Internet link I am now trying to have my husband print it. Funny enough he had to become a member of Facebook in order to print the book. Have you ever tried to clean your teeth with soap and if so how do you do it? Do you rub a bit of soap on your toothbrush or on your teeth and if so what kind of soap? Doesn't it taste disgusting? I am dying to read the book and will post here my review when the link is ready!

Hi Francisca... I hope you're well and happy. I have indeed been trying Dr Judd's advice. I've been using ordinary bar soap to brush my teeth -- three good scrapes on the brush and away I go!! And it doesn't taste that bad either. I use a very basic unfancy bar soap with no perfume etc. I'll stick with it I think, makes sense when you read his explanations.

Toothpaste normally contains fluoride as well as glycine. We all know about fluoride, but glycine(as well as food fats) tends to coat the teeth and it is hard to remove this film -- toothpaste doesn't work and alot of toothpaste actually contains glycine -- this film apparently stops the enamel properly forming on the teeth and is a very important feature for dental health. Food fats and glycine tend both to coat the teeth and both inhibit enamel formation of the teeth. The only thing that can easily remove this fat or glycine film is simple bar soap. Bar soap also kills gum bacteria and helps to prevent gum disease. Dr Judd researched all this and proved it all mainly through observational testing.

Also whenever you eat or drink acid food like drinking coke or even fresh fruit juice -- this contains acid -- which is what actually damages teeth and not bacteria(bacteria damage gums). So to prevent cavities, always drink water after a meal to wash away the acid. This all seems like good common sense to me.

But I still use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Bicarbonate or dilute Iodine as a mouthwash periodically as recomended by Ted.

Thanks once more Bill! I have just had the first cold for over 7 years but other than that I am ok and I wish you a wonderful new year! I will try the soap. Usually the soap I have at home is either Aleppo soap, which is a very old Syrian soap and you find it easily here in France (it seems to be the oldest soap on earth)or else Savon de Marseille which also seems quite good (very French). I have no idea whether any of those would do..... I have the feeling that Aleppo soap might be better as the Marseille one seems to have been good but now not anymore so I will be ditching it (I have just done some research on it). I always try to drink some water after eating or drinking acids and never clean my teeth within 30 minutes of eating as the enamel is then softer. Do you dilute the Hydrogen Peroxide? And do you use it as a mouth wash every day? I will try to find it in the pharmacy tomorrow. I hope my husband manages to print Dr. Judd's book soon, no idea why he had to become a member of Facebook to do that anyway! I will try the soap tonight, wish me luck..... And thanks for all your good advice!

Here are a set of guidelines by Dr Gerard Judd, a researcher in dental health, which he formulated to maintain dental health:

*Tooth cavities will be ended simply by rinsing acids off the teeth.

*Acids alone eat the enamel.

*There would be no cavities in the world if all people rinsed acids from their teeth promptly. Just sip water, milk or other liquid while eating. Water reacts with acids.

*Foods and drinks, other than those containing acids, have no action on tooth enamel.

*Sugars have no action on the enamel.

*Bacteria cannot damage the enamel (calcium hydroxy phosphate). There is no such thing as decay of the enamel since bacteria require carbon and hydrogen to live. Billions of human and animal remains show teeth and bones are resistant to earth-bound organisms.

*Teeth re-enamalize when clean. To make teeth clean one brushes with any bar soap. Soap washes off in just 2 rinses. What about toothpastes? Glycerine in all brands of tooth paste is so sticky that it takes 27 washes to get it off. Teeth brushed with any toothpaste are coated with a film and cannot properly re-enamelize.

*Taking calcium and phosphate in the diet results in re-enamelization of the teeth, but only when they are clean. Bar soap does a perfect job in cleaning the surface. The enamel thickens and becomes less sensitive. Adenosine diphosphatase furnishes phosphate to teeth. [An enzyme in the body. - LT

*Gums are disinfected by brushing with any bar soap.

*Plaque, a poorly formed crystal stuck to the bottom of the enamel, is prevented and eventually removed by brushing with bar soap. Dental procedures to get the badly formed crystals off dig holes through the enamel. These cavities catch food and cause gum infection. Prevention of plaque retards gum pockets. Gum pockets are formed as the plaque pushes the gums away from the teeth. Gum pockets, from 1 to 8 mm deep, are also formed by fluoride, which severs the protein molecules adhering the gums to the teeth. Soap prevents gingivitis caused by bacteria which is lodged in the gum pockets.

*Vitamin C and phosphate help knit the gums back to the teeth. Pressing against the gums with fingers forces adhesive materials from the gums onto the teeth, which helps the process.

*Abscesses can be offset by holding Cepacol (14% alcohol) in the mouth 5 minutes.

*Receding gum surgery will end when the gum pockets cease. The very mention of the procedure, which involves transferring flesh from the roof of the mouth to the excised area of the gums, is a heinous and useless procedure which ought to pass into oblivion.

*Removal of fluoride from drinking water, pastes or gels saves the enzyme adenosine diphosphatase so it can deliver phosphate to calcium at the tooth surface, resulting in a beautiful, semi-flexible enamel.

*As stated above, the gums can be reconnected to the teeth by taking vitamin C (ascorbic acid)(1 tsp) with Arm and Hammer baking soda (1/2 tsp) in 1 inch of water, letting it fizz and then diluting to 1/2 to 1 cup with water, then drinking. The resulting sodium ascorbate is non-acid, very pure and a thousand times more soluble than vitamin C. Sodium ascorbate is more active than ascorbic acid (C) in building connective tissue and antibody structures and more effective in killing some viruses and bacteria.

*Receding gums and plaque are ended when soap is used for brushing and vitamin C is taken daily.

*30% of American youths ages 8-10 have no cavities.

*100% of Ugandan youths ages 6-10 have no cavities. What does this tell us? The reason Ugandan youths have 3 times better teeth than American youths is because they do not consume as many acid foods have no fluoride in their drinking water, have regular meals rather than sipping acid drinks all day, have more calcium and phosphate in their diet, and have fewer dentists to "work on" their teeth.

*Dental literature says 42% of Americans over 65 have no natural teeth while 25% of those over 43 have none.

*Dental literature says Americans age 43 average 32 cavities, those age 7 have 13 cavities, blacks and poverty stricken (without calcium and phosphate) have twice this and the Native Americans have four times this amount. The Native American plight can be blamed on their poor nutrition, excessive fluoridation and fr/ee but improper dental care. If fluoridation were effective in preventing cavities, Native Americans would have the least cavities of any group. They have had forced fluoridation for approximately 62 years.

*Spokesmen for national groups are beginning to notice an alarming rise in cavities among children and teens. Same dentists recommend dental sealants, especially for older teens not previously considered candidates for the treatment. But if sealants are n. O. W ordered, aren't dentists admitting no confidence in the ability of fluoride to prevent cavities?

*Fluoride in water at one part per million increased tooth cavities in four large reliable studies 7. 22. 45 and 10% (average 21 %). The reason far these increases has to do with the fact that adenosine diphosphatase is destroyed by fluoride and calcium fluoride which slips into the enamel, is alien to the tooth composite and makes the enamel weak, brittle and discolored.

*The health of american teeth will increase to be very nearly perfect if the regimen of water rinsing, soap brushing and taking calcium, phosphate and vitamin c in the diet is implemented. Fortunately, we n. O. W know the current teeth perfecting protocol of dentistry with fluoridation is flawed. If the early estimates of 80% tooth improvement in childrens' teeth by age 13 were true, each American would n. O. W have less than one cavity. That is far from true.

*The teeth in America are in a sorry state, and at the present time are getting worse. Numerous top scientists over the past 60 years have discarded the theory that fluoride helps teeth, or is a nutrient helpful to man. To avoid fluoride is to prevent more than 114 ailments listed with references in my book Good Teeth, Birth to Death. These 114 medical side effects extend all the way from cancer down to headaches caused by 1 ppm (part per million) fluoride in the water. Thirteen of these side effects are proved by a double blind study on 60 patients by 12 physicians, 1 pharmacist and 1 attorney. The mechanism for destruction of enzymes by fluoride has been proven by x-ray studies. Hydrogen bonds are broken by fluoride.

*Fluoride is the smallest negative particle on the face of the earth. Since the fluoride particles are so small and so intensely negative, they connect with the hydrogen bonds holding the enzyme coils in place and ruin every enzyme molecule at very low concentration, around 1-3 ppm. These enzymes are often 3, 000 or more times the small size of the fluoride. The effect is ruinous. To avoid fluoride is to prevent the destruction of 83 enzymes.

*Fluoride is a severe biological poison. Being intensely negative, it unlatches positive hydrogen bonds in enzymes and proteins. It is fortunate we have learned fluoride is a nerve poison. Fluoride causes cavities. There is not the slightest doubt. Methylmercury formed from amalgams in the body is deadly. It causes brain disease.

*Fillings made of quartzite and epoxy are a safe substitute.

*Fluoride harms the economy by making people purchase other than city water to avoid it.

*Fluoride also harms the economy by making people dependent on undependable professions that know nothing about it.

*Ignorance about fluoride and what it does is worldwide.

*Keep the teeth moist. Teeth that are dry "craze" (crack). If you chew ice, teeth may crumble. Teeth do have a breaking strength.

*Look in your mouth.

*Tell the dentist(s) what you want done and get several bids for examination and work. Save your fortunes.

Hi Francisca... I dilute the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide when I use it to clean my ears or nose -- I dilute with the same volume of water which then creates a 1.5% HP solution.

But as a mouthwash, I just squirt the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide directly into my mouth and swish it round. It froths up alot so you only need about a teaspoon or two. And when I take it internally as a drink with water, I mix 6 to 10 drops in a glass of water.

Bill, the web page mentioned above is not available on site. Do you have another url?

Hydrogen Peroxide diluted with water as a mouthwash really works to clean my mouth and my breath fresh. After reading Jill's post, I tried 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 1 water as a mouthwash once a day for a week and found it was too strong for me. My teeth felt really sensitive. Then I diluted 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 3 part water, once a day, and this works great. I have been doing this 3 weeks now and my mouth feels really clean and can see that my teeth has whitened some. My gums look and feel healthy. I'm going to do this the rest of my life. Thank you so much for sharing! I really appreciate!
