Teeth

[Guest guest]

Teri,

Hi! As a dental hygienist, I wanted to comment on your recent

teeth problems. First of all, a problem with absorbing calcium will

not harm the teeth of an adult, once all their teeth are in. After

that point, your teeth will not absorb more calcium from your system,

nor will the calcium be " robbed " from your teeth when you are

deficient. I know the story is different with your bones.

Are you post-myotomy? If so, you could have acid reflux which

could cause more cavities. If not, most pre-surgery Achalasians don't

have excess acid coming up, because their LES is tight, so their teeth

shouldn't be affected (unless, of course, food is rotting in your E,

becoming acidic, and you're regurgitating it - sorry to be graphic).

Or, maybe the acid in carbonated beverages that some use to get their

LES to open is causing more cavities (if it's got sugar in it, that's

a double-whammy for teeth).

I'm not sure why some have troubles with periodontal disease with

A. It may be because their nutrition isn't great and their body can't

fight off infection as well (perio. disease is an infection).

Maybe you should talk to your dentist or hygienist about using a

fluoride mouth-rinse or high-fluoride toothpaste to help strengthen

your teeth. Good luck!

Hi ,

Thanks for the info. I think I need to be better about a fluoride rinse,

you are right about that. I also think sometimes I eat maybe too

late at night............I get so hungry sometimes, I seem to be trying

to eat all the time. My dentist did recommend ACT fluoride rinse. Is

there a better one maybe? I don't taste aid at all in my mouth, so I

think I'm dealing with something else...........(probably should brush

my teeth after every meal). Anyway, if you have anymore suggestion,

I would love to hear them.

Thanks so much for your time.

By the way, I have also had gastric bypass with a duodenal switch.

It has possibly contributed to my achalasia.

Regards,

Teri

Teri,

There are a couple of prescription fluorides available

(mouthwashes or some that are like a toothpaste), but ACT is a good

over the counter one. You could always ask your dentist about a

prescription one. Since you need to wait at least a half hour before

rinsing, eating or drinking after it, the best time to use a rinse (or

paste) is right before you go to bed. Also, they work best when you

brush first (the fluoride doesn't work where there's plaque on your

teeth). I hope that helps!

By the way, have you found an A expert who can help you, even

after having gastric bypass? IMO you'll need someone with lots of A

experience (i.e. Dr. Patti, Dr. Rice, or other experts mentioned here

frequently). Good luck on your teeth issues and A issues!

Teri, yes I have had a lot of fillings done and now I am starting to have to have crowns put on. I had great teeth up untill I was 24 and then I started having caviies starting mainly on my back teeth. Try and rinse with water if you reguritat and eat a lot of sugar food or drinks that will help.

Where do you get tooth soap? Health food store?

few 6mm pockets went down to 4's. These pocketsconsistenly remained a 6 for years. They went back acouple of times a remeasured the 4 areas where I had6mm readings. They finally ask me if I've been doing

anything differently and they write down the info.The tea tree oil does contain glycerin, so I only usethat once a day. I put a little in a cup and then witha peridontal brush I clean the pocket areas and then

rinse with the remainder. About 15 minutes later, Ibrush with the tooth soap and rinse my teeth 3 times. Sometimes before brushing with the tooth soap, I willjust use plain tea tree oil or H2O2. I just wanted to update everyone that it does work.

========================

It's possible a health food store might carry it. I

bought mine online from the grain and salt society. I

use both the liquid and the shreds. The liquid during

the day and the shreds at night.

Tooth soap can only be found in Kentucky, West Virginia and a few

isolated places in Tennessee. Anywhere else they call it teeth soap.

Tooth soap can be purchased on line. They have it on Amazon.com and

www.toothsoap.com (which is where I got it). Just do a google for it and

you will find it. There's also a Youtube video on it. I love it. I have

been using it for 2 mos now and my aching in my gums has gone away.

I've been using Arm & Hammer baking soda for brushing my teeth. The

fist time it felt as though I was putting a cotton ball in my mouth

but since then it has been great. It helps to whiten my teeth, helps

any stomach acid I may have, and also helps to hydrate my body.

Since the natural toothpastes tasted too odd for my girls, they too

have now been using baking soda and like it! So I'm thrilled I've

sucessfully gotten them away from flouride in the t-paste.

In addition, with all the good reports from Dr. Simonici using baking

soda for treatment by injecting it locally, I thought certainly it

couldn't hurt to just take a little each day orally and who knows, it

might actually help fight that cancer away!

Your idea sounds very plausible. I can't vouch for what is actually going on with you, but I can say I had a number of unusual things take place in the body and being in the first few weeks. This last week or so has been a pretty even keel.

Has anyone had "feelings" in their teeth as they detox using iodine?One tooth, which has a crown and root canal, is feeling strange. Notpain, but since it has no nerve, any feeling is new. I am justwondering if it could have some subclinical infection (like is talkedabout with root canals nowadays) and the antibacterial nature of theiodine is doing some work for me. Just wondering if anyone else has had something like this?

[Guest guest]

Actually I have one root canal and its been achey nerve like feeling

since starting iodine also some odd sensation on opposite side as well.

For me I have had a lot of problem w/ teeth and I am only 30 so for me

I am sure this has to do with old infections. Interesting though

When I first used lugols iodine I had strange sensations in all my teeth, but that went after a while. I also had a metallic taste, but that went also after a few days.

What are the ratios of the ingredients? Thanks.

Teeth

My sister's teeth turned dark/black when she was given chemo drugs. I mixed

coconut oil, baking soda, salt and cinnamon powder (to camouflage the

taste). It worked. The dark coloring disappeared. This mixture is abrasive

so don't use for a long time.

[Guest guest]

1/2 cup vco, 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/8 cup salt, and one tablespoon cinnamon

powder. You can alter this if you find it too abrasive.

What about putting in a little hydrogen peroxide? Would that add a little more

whitening power to the mix without additional abrasives?

Would diotamaceous earth be too abrasive?

Just wondering.

Duncan,

Good to know! What's your take on using diotomaceous earth as an abrasive?

Baking soda better?

Try to avoid hydrogen peroxide as this kills friendly mouth bacteria needed for

predigestion of food. That concoction of mine should work without HP.

Hi ;sorry I can't comment on various abrasives. I do know that some

toothpastes sold in the USA would have illegally high abrasive levels in Canada

,

Mouth bacteria are killed by coconut oil and a lot of other foods too.

Some artificial sweeteners, xylitol for example is used in chewing gum precisely

to curb excessive mouth bacteria, a cause of dental decay and also heart

disease. Many people even scrape/brush their tongues to remove mouth bacteria

when they brush their teeth.

Seems a lot of people are unconcerned about keeping friendly mouth bacteria and

instead desire to curb it or change the culture.

And, mouth bacteria aren't used in digestion because they are or should be

killed by stomach acids in seconds, prior to any digestion occurring. Not

killing the bacteria by the time they leave the stomach pretty reliably results

in bowel dysbiosis, AKA dysbacteriosis, which is BAD (unfavourable) bacterial

digestion; see all the examples of people who reduce their stomach acid and wind

up with bowel issues for details.

Probiotics that do survive the stomach acids and digestive tract do their

digestion in the colon, not the mouth, stomach or even upper digestive tract.

Think about it; that's why they're called " gut bacteria " .

You can't put a price on your health, go private but shop around first for a

better deal!  Metal (mercury) fillings are a major suspect for being the cause

of electrosensitivity.  If you really can't afford the treatment, get them

pulled out, much better than having mercury implanted in your mouth.
