Re: Iodine and Soft Teeth?...NO Fluoride

[Guest guest]

Hi there, I worked as a dental assistant for 20 years. I do not know of another way to strengthen teeth except to ensure he is getting enough calcium and he is not acidic nor eating/drinking acids. By acids I mean carbonic/phosphoric acids in sodas, excessive ingestion of vinegar, or lemon juice. Usual acid in OJ shouldn't be an issue. Also sugars will turn to acid so limit those.

 

Not to assume your son isn't taking care of himself, but it was always my personal experience around the teen years that kids don't always brush well. It is between the time that parents check their teeth after brushing and they become adults. Maybe make sure at his next checkup they instruct him on floss use and proper brushing technique. Were the cavities on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, at the gumline of any teeth, or in between two teeth? That could help me give you an idea of the possible cause...

Kim,

I had a cavity under a crown (at the gum line)

and the crown

was one of 6 in a bridge across the upper front of my mouth. The dentist told me I would have to have the

entire bridge removed. I also had four

lower teeth on which the tops had worn away to reveal the dark

yellow (dentin?)

underneath. The dentist told me nothing

could be done about them.

I used a combination of Vitamin K2 and Vitamin

D and today

the tooth with the cavity has been remineralized and there is no

cavity. Two of the four “worn” teeth have

been

remineralized and are white instead of dark yellow. Two of them

(the two worst)

are in the process of becoming remineralized and you can see the

tiny, jagged

peaks of white spreading across the tops.

I am 72 years old.

Here are the original writing of the the

dentist who

discovered and originally wrote about “Factor X” (Vit K2) http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library/price/pricetoc.html Click on Chapter 16 and go to the middle of

the chapter for the info. The Weston

Price foundation in on the web with lots of updated info on this.

Originally I used cod liver oil (for the D) and

pasture-fed

butter (for the K2). I continue on the

cod liver oil, but have found that Japanese natto is a better

source of K2, and

works faster, than the butter.

Lee Ann,

You can find natto at any Japanese market and sometimes at an Asian

market if you have those nearby.  Be warned though, it's an aquired

taste (not unlike a strong cheese) so you might want to try just a

small packet to begin with.  If you would rather take a supplement,

you can find capsule of nattokinase with K2 (some supplements take

the K2 out) in most health food stores.

I'm not comfortable taking supplements.  I think they're hard on the

liver and not as powerful as food sources.  But the natto in the

markets is imported from Japan (which might be dicey right now) and

usually in styrene containers (which are very problematic) and the

soy beans are not organic.

So, I wind up paying top dollar (although I'm on a very limited

senior income) to buy organic beans in food-grade plastic containers

from a company producing the product in the U.S.    www.meguminatto.com/  

I feel it's worth the price because natto also

prevents osteoporosis and blood clots.

I tutor 12 year olds, and one of my students is a self confessed sugar junkie

who doesn't brush her teeth all that much—and has NO cavities. Her family eats a

fairly SAD although her mother is Brazilian. My sisters and I all have trouble

with cavities. We have always cooked from scratch, none have of us have but an

occasional 'junk' treat. I think the best time I have had in my life as far as

teeth were concerned was when I was on cephalexin as an adult for acne! I pulled

with coconut oil for a few months, but can't say it felt worth it. I'm 57, but

didn't have ANY thyroid issues until about 10-12 issues ago, now doing well on

T3.

I think there is some genetic predisposition, personally. I love brushing my

teeth, have a waterpick as well, take D3 & K2, calcium, don't have gingivitis

and still have soft teeth. Mouth bacteria? probiotics? Wish I knew the answer!

We just had dental work done on our little guy, only because his baby teeth were

refusing to fall out.

His checkup was otherwise perfect. We brush with xylitol. My children are NOT

known for 'perfect' teeth. In fact this son had two teeth crowned and two

removed when he was two due to decay.

I think it seems to have stopped? he's now 7 and his developmental delay made

brushing a REAL shore.

I think the xylitol helped a LOT. It can remineralize teeth.

I use xylitol too. I use lugols and have NO staining. My teeth are far from

perfect, but something is working to keep them from staining.

I have been brushing with fine celtic salt, xylitol and baking soda. I had 5 small gum line cavities fill back in before my next visit. so suggest that for you. Use a third of each. Been using since 2005 with no cavities and many ancient fillings-40-45 years old survive too. I had soft teeth too. My grandfather used 2 of these for 50 years and had his teeth until 97. Pam

Xylitol is clinically shown to inhibit bacterial development in the

mouth. It is a naturally occuring sugar-alcohol that has been used in

Finland for more than 60 years, and it is really nice to use as a sweetener

for those of us who like to keep our blood sugar down. I've made fudge

from it that was good for one's teeth!

Iodine strengthens teeth. Deaf County Texas was studied because of its low

rate of tooth decay and broken bones. Its water was high in calcium and fluoride

and iodine. The dentists chose fluoride as the cause of course. Even though

other counties in Texas had higher fluoride and lower iodine rates and high

rates of tooth decay--selective perception.

If you want a deeper understanding of dental health and the cause and cure for

tooth decay, I would recommend reading the following books:

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Dr. Weston A. Price

Cure Tooth Decay by Dr. Nagel

Fat of the Land by Dr. Vilhjalmur Stefansson

These books will describe countless people with near perfect dental health that

have never brushed, flossed or had a fluoride treatment.

Modern dentistry is premised on the germ theory and ignores terrain theory. Germ

theory states that tooth decay is caused by acid produced by bacteria and if we

can simply control the bacteria, tooth decay can be avoided. If only this were

true, we'd need a lot fewer dentists. This strategy of focusing on the germ

theory has been a great commercial success for dentistry but a public health

disaster for the rest of us.

Terrain theory states that a healthy body can mineralize the teeth faster than

they can be eroded. Modern dentistry thinks this is not possible since they

don't see it. But of course that doesn't mean its not possible. It just means

nearly everyone's mineralization rate can't keep up. There is ample evidence to

support this. Its just ignored for ideological and financial reasons.

Tolstoy said, " Its very difficult to get a man to understand something when his

salary dependents on him not understanding it "

Tooth decay occurs when the erosion rate exceeds the mineralization rate. So to

say that tooth decays is caused by acid is not even half true. There are two

factors (erosion and mineralization rates) and they have to be out of balance.

That's a totally different explanation than saying its caused by acid because

you induce or eliminate decay by manipulating two factors up or down until they

are out of balance. Acid isn't the cause anymore low mineralization.

Dr. Melvin Page showed what slows down the mineralization process.

http://www.ppnf.org/catalog/ppnf/page.htm

The problem is an imbalance in the calcium to phosphorus ratio in the blood.

This imbalance is caused primarily from eating sugar. So its not that the sugar

feeds the bacteria which convert it into acid, its the sugar's effect on the

blood. Think about it this way, when you eat sugar, virtually 99.9% goes down

your throat and into your blood. Only a tiny fraction is left in the mouth to

feed bacteria.

The solution is rather simple and is entirely dietary in nature. Countless

uneducated people have been doing it for millennia. (Which really makes us look

dumb despite having had a lot of education). To avoid tooth decay the diet must

have sufficient minerals, not just calcium, but phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and

iodine (needed for fat metabolism).

But minerals alone are worthless unless they can be absorbed into the blood and

then into the teeth. To transport minerals into the blood you need vitamin D. To

withstand high doses of vitamin D (high by modern consumption standards which

are too low), you need high doses of vitamin A (as retinol, not beta carotene).

To get the mineral out of the blood and into the teeth you need vitamin K2.

But these vitamins (A,D and K2) are fat soluble, so you need enough saturated

fat to utilize them. You also need to avoid sugar which causes the imbalance in

calcium to phosphorus ratio.

The problem is that people like sugar and its cheap so they eat too much. And

the doctors and dieticians have totally misunderstood saturated fat so people

are unnecessarily scared of it. At least the tide is starting to turn there.

More studies are showing the benefits of saturated fat and the recent revision

to the USDA food guidelines have been roundly criticized for being too low in

saturated fat and having no basis is science.

I used this knowledge to cure a cavity. My dentist said it wasn't possible. Yet

two years later he can't find any decay and I just saw a new dentist who didn't

see any either. And my tooth hasn't hurt in a long time. So I know all this is

true from personal experience.

General guidelines are 1000IU of D, 10,000 IU of A, 100mcg of K2 per day.

Current calcium guidelines are probably too high since they were determined in a

mostly vitamin D deficient population. When they study calcium requirements in

vitamin D sufficient people they seem lower. Minerals also have to be consumed

in a proper ratio and a deficiency in any single one can be a limiting factor

for all the rest. And its best to get all this from food, not pills. But pills

are better than nothing.

Cheers,

Very Interesting !

I recently read the book called something like " Cure Tooth Decay " . It mentions

Weston Price quite a bit.

Interestingly, this also seems to tie in to the GAPS diet, in my mind.

I find it interesting that although I take a fair bit of Lugol's, about

100mg/day, my teeth seem slightly whiter than before...they certainly aren't any

yellower.

I am hoping this helps my kids. One dd is a cavity magnet.

Is it me, or is there an association between hypothyroid and tooth decay?

Somehow I came up with this and I " m not sure where it came from.

I would say that yes, they probably were hypo.

I was dx'd with Sjogren's by my optometrist. Dry eyes, dry mouth...

For me, getting off anti-depressants was a great start. My mouth was more moist

almost immediately. Of course, depression is another sign of hypoT.

Starting on T3 helped even more. My eyes are still dry, but nothing like they

were.

I doubt anyone would say I have Sjogren's now.

Fluoride

 

Xylitol is clinically shown to inhibit

bacterial development in the

mouth. It is a naturally occuring

sugar-alcohol that has been used in

Finland for more than 60 years, and it is

really nice to use as a sweetener

for those of us who like to keep our blood

sugar down. I've made fudge

from it that was good for one's teeth!

I know that Iodoral is much more pleasant to take than lugol's but I've seen a huge change in the hardening, whitening, and sensitivity of my teeth since I switched to Lugol's. You really don't notice it much if you put it in grape juice. It would not hurt to have him swish it around in his mouth a little as he drinks it. I had a lot of complements soon after the switch and the plus side is that it is cheaper!
