How to heal a cavity naturally

[AngelPsychic444]

Very good article, I have to get some cod liver oil and try this out:

How to heal a cavity naturally and nutritionally without the need for 'drilling and filling'

That works for some people, for others it is much harder. It is very dependent on individual situation.

One thing it depends on is the acidity of your saliva (and your overall diet.) Commonly eating acidic foods (like toast) will cause your osteoclasts (opposite of osteoblasts) to take calcium out of your bones to adjust your blood pH, which cannot be off even the tiniest bit or you will immediately die. (Your teeth, unfortunately are a bone.) So keeping your diet alkaline overall will cause your osteoblasts to add calcium back into the hole in your tooth, which is what you want.
(This is why old women in America get osteoporosis despite the silly inorganic calcium pills that their doctors have them take.)

Keeping your mouth clean is important - you do not want sugar sitting around for hours in between your teeth, because this causes saliva acidity, not to mention bacteria that feed on sugar and harm your teeth.

Oil-pulling might be something to consider.
Finally, some recommend (in addition to oils) an infusion or tea of comfrey root (raw or dry) swished in the mouth for 15-20 minutes daily. This allowed me to heal a soft spot on one of my incisors rather quickly, but is taking a bit longer for a fully developed cavity.
(Comfrey root is not to be swallowed; regular ingestion can result in liver cancer.)

This is very interesting as it challenges the normal. Perhaps this is something I've been looking for.

What exactly is considered RAW Butter?

[firenexx]

Raw butter is nutritionally superior to pasteurized. The only difference in production is that it has not been pasteurized, processed, cooked, etc.

(The butter you buy in supermarkets generally has been processed and pasteurized, destroying anything in it that might be good for you)

In terms of tooth health, this is significant because pasteurized dairy tends to be acid-forming where as raw dairy can be very easily digested.

You generally find raw butter at a local dairy farm, or in some health food stores and food co-ops (member-owned grocery stores).

Oil-pulling might be something to consider.

I have been oilpulling for years now, it's great stuff, my teeth are kept in good shape because of it:

Also, from the article I posted in my first post, I found out there cod liver oil is a super food, so I'm going to take that now and see how it goes. I have to find the raw butter somewhere... I want to look into all this and see how it goes!

How often is the oil pulling done?
Daily? Weekly?

Here is a thread from several years ago with some additional information on natural healing of tooth decay.

The oil pulling should be done at least once a day, I think on the oilpulling website it says, in extreme cases it can be done 3 times a day, there is not negative side-effects of doing it alot, it's just well, hard I guess, since it has to be done on an empty stomach.

The most important time to do it is as soon as you get up in the morning, before you have eaten anything, no water either, once you finish oilpulling which only takes 15 min. or so, then you can eat or drink anything you want. I also highly recommend only using sunflower oil, I tried all the others, but they are second best, in my opinion anyway.
