I have hope that this is true. So much of the treatment and prevention is focused on protecting the surface of the teeth which is certainly a major consideration. However, there are health conditions that seem to effect the teeth and enamel that are not born from a tooth problem. A symptom of celiac is holes in the enamel. I don't know if these heal though after the diet is adjusted for celiac.
Bones can heal so it seems to follow (to me anyway) that perhaps teeth can heal too. Again, I hope this is true. I agree that conditions would have to be right in order for it to happen.
There are 'those people' that never get cavities. Would be interesting to know what's going on there.
Absolutely. Here's a lifehack for when a small new cavity that doesn't even hurt (much, yet) is discovered --- for some 2-3 months:
- cut out all sugar to the best of your ability,
- cut way down on mineral leeches such as phytates, lectins, gluten
- consume plenty of meat, grassfed butter and liver -- all 3 matter here
A neat easy to follow little protocol for remineralization and overall tooth (and bone) hardening.
In a way it's not as convenient as getting a drill for 20 minutes and heading back to the office donut party or the birthday cakes your friends were sharing. It really is about priorities here. Our bodies are in no way incapable of splendid regeneration at any age, the problem? They take a lot of time, and require "the right building blocks", which really are a bit tricky to find out about, and lastly modern diet interferes severely. Yes, somehow the preformed animal Vitamin A from liver does the trick and so does preformed animal Vitamin K2 from grassfed butter where synthetic formulations or plant-sourced supplements don't seem to. Plus the completely-absorbed and readily-utilizable minerals and amino acids from your meat. Don't blame the messenger ;)
