Seeking Remedies to Heal & Remineralize Tooth CavityPosted By Parsnip (Ontario Canada) on 04/10/2026
I really don't want to have a filling, as I've dealt with cavities all my life. I don't really want to go through x-rays and an anesthetic again, and the drilling of my tooth. I'm hoping to remineralize it on my own.

I rinse my mouth occasionally or as needed with some 3% peroxide diluted in some water.
I have found that it kills the cavity causing bacteria and will neutrolize any cavities present.
I have not been to dentist in over 30 years and my teeth are cavity free.
I only brush once per day with sodium bicarbonate, and rarely floss.
I sometimes chew on a small piece of turmeric as it is good for teeth and gums.
As for rebuilding tooth, I have tried many things, but no success to date.

You can try hydroxyapatite toothpaste. It can remineralize the teeth and potentially reverse a cavity, but only at the earliest stages of the cavity.

You might want to look into Xylitol, brushing your teeth with xylitol toothpaste, rinsing with xylitol mouth wash and chewing gum like Pur brand containing only xylitol will kill dental carries and regenerate tooth enamel. Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol in all plants but highest amounts in tree bark, it's extracted into Xylitol (looks and tastes just like sugar) or fermented to Eurythinol. you can search online for xylitol toothpaste, mints, gum and mouthwash lots of companies sell it, you can also buy it to use in place of sugar on walmart, amazon, etc.... it's about $10 for 8oz, then you can use that to make your own toothpaste and mouthwash.

We were able to remineralize my son's teeth when he had two cavities in his front baby teeth. He was 4 at the time. We use black walnut tincture. I put one dropperful of the tincture in a tablespoon of water or so. He would swish that around his mouth for 20 seconds then swallow it. It took a few weeks.
Children's teeth are easier to heal, especially if they are well nourished. I have found adults take longer to heal. If you try the black walnut, look into supplementing with a cod liver oil.
Dr. Christopher has a tooth powder that may be helpful as well. I have bought it on Amazon.
I agree about the xylitol suggestion. It is something my daughter's orthodontist recommended to prevent cavities while she was in braces. I buy Trident with xylitol by the case at Sam's club. :)
