fluoride-free and cavities

[Guest guest]

We have been drinking fluoride-free water and using fluoride-free

toothpaste for about 2 years. My daughter's recent trip to the

dentist revealed three cavities. My son, same age, hasn't shown any

cavities yet, so I guess it is just her--but she is a real good

brusher and doesn't eat sugar, so I don't know what to think about

the decay. She's close to puberty--the dentist is blaming it on

this, for some reason. No mercury in fillings she will be getting,

of course. I don't want to return to fluoride because dental amalgam

activists say it is bad, but I don't want this rate of decay either!

We have had sealants on

her teeth, but I guess they have worn off. We'll be putting

sealants on again. Any other ideas? Thanks, Diane

I remember reading about reminalization of teeth using a mouthwash of raw milk

and minerals. I can't remember where I saw the information, though. Perhaps

someone else knows where the information can be found.

-- Molybdenum does wonders. i started taking moly after Andy made an

off-the-cuff comment in a posting a few months ago. Aches and twinges

in my teeeth disappeared and I have had no problems since - even tho'

I can feel one spot with my tongue where a filling has fallen out and

needs replacing.

Also, use sea salt - not table salt- in small doses as a multi-mineral

Hi Diane,

Gut bacteria can cause dental cavities......treating bacteria can make a

huge difference.
