health benefits of oil pulling

Tooth regeneration is possible, and surprisingly simple…God designed our bodies so incredibly. If we are nourishing our bodies well, He designed them to be able to heal from injury and disease—even our teeth.I share our stories because the idea of ‘healing your teeth’ is quite foreign to people. But listen to this…“That tooth decay is caused by nutrient deficiencies and not bacteria has been proven in both animal and laboratory experiments published in books and dental journals……If brushing, flossing, massive fluoridation campaigns, and dental surgery were effective in preventing tooth decay, it would not get worse over time. It would stay the same, or get better.” (Ramiel Nagel of CureToothDecay.com)

But that’s not what’s happening, is it? It has become normal to have our teeth rot out of our head, starting not in our 60’s, or 40’s, but as children and even babies.“What is missing from the ADA’s bacteria theory of cavities is that strong teeth resist acid and bacteria. And when you, the consumer, understand that a strong tooth resists acid indefinitely, then the next logical question is, what makes a tooth strong?” (Ramiel Nagel)The answer, which Ramiel details in his ebook (linked below) is good nutrition. And you know what it means when I use that term around here…lots of whole foods, good fat, raw milk, tasty meats and properly prepared grains and veggies. Ramiel especially stresses whole, raw milk in the diet and plenty of deeply nourishing fats like butter oil and cod liver oil.So, gotta a toothache? Wish you had stronger teeth? Don’t despair. You can actually do something other than have them all pulled and getting dentures. (Oh, yay!) Increase your nutrition and try oil pulling!

Ozone treatment

A better solution for gum disease

How does vitamin C help to prevent gum disease?
Everything from receding gums and tooth sensitivity can often be attributed to a vitamin C deficiency. It is estimated that gums turn over at least 20% of their collagen every single day. Collagen supports the gums by promoting both circulation and strength. Every time teeth touch each other, from chewing food or grinding together, they use up some vitamin C. This is why the teeth that touch first when you close your mouth will have the most gum recession, decay and plaque buildup. Yes, vitamin C inhibits the formation of plaque and tartar. In fact, vitamin C is referred to as the invisible toothbrush. Even if you are a tooth brushing fanatic – you may not get the results you want without adequate amounts of vitamin C. Since vitamin C is one of the best natural defenses against bacteria – it is essential for health teeth and gums. Let’s not forget, the mouth is the gateway to the body not only for food, but also for unwanted bacteria.

The Benefits of Ozone in Dentistry

Most people get concerned when they hear ozone, equating it with ozone pollution. When ozone levels rise, we're likely to get sick. But this is due to the pollutants caught in the ozone – ozone itself is actually nature's way of cleaning the air. Granted, ozone gas, by itself, should not be breathed as it's toxic to lung tissue in high concentrations. But when selectively applied, it can provide significant benefits in dentistry. In fact, according to Carol Vander Stoep, ozone is the only way to predictably re-mineralize the tooth. The conventional thought is that this is the function of fluoride, but this is not true.Another component of minimally invasive dentistry is the use of ozone.Carol says: Fluoride actually has a powerfully detrimental effect, because while it can strengthen the tooth, that's not the most important factor in preventing decay. While making the enamel denser, it also makes it more brittle by destroying the surface crystal matrix that helps protect the tooth. It's a very similar process as osteoporosis drugs that make your bones denser but more brittle...

"We are using it close to the mouth, so there are precautions that you have to know," Carols says. "You have to take a course in it. You can't just start using it. But since we deal with microbes in the mouth, I can't imagine a better place for ozone. I use it all the time in gum disease....The beauty is, with ozone, you don't have to remove all the decayed material. You just remove the worst of it, then you hit it with ozone. If there are any dentists listening, they can take it down just to what we call the leathery layer. There's still plenty of structure there. The crystalline structure is still there, and it's still strong. It's just been infiltrated by bacteria and their end products.In the old way, you would want to take all of that out. We don't want to do that. Leave that there. Hit it with ozone for a few minutes and change the chemistry of the tooth. Let it re-harden. If you don't fill it, it will take about two months to re-harden. If you fill it, it takes four months to re-harden. It's kind of a lovely concept, isn't it?...Ozone is the only way to predictably re-mineralize the tooth – it's a component of the process. Because what it's going to do [when applied in gas form], is diffuse into the tooth, through those little white spots into the tooth... First, it's going to kill all the microbes in the tooth. That's important... The end products of bacteria are acids. It changes the chemistry of the tooth from acid to neutral, so that now the tooth can re-mineralize the way it's supposed to.A lot of people think that re-mineralization happens from the outside in, but most of that re-mineralization is actually going to be coming through the pulp. The pulp, of course, is that hollow internal structure of a tooth that is filled with blood vessels and nerves and is designed to give the tooth nutrients and keep it hydrated. The minerals are going to come in through the pulp, feed out this way, bring the minerals to that area, and harden it."

The Connection between Teeth Health and the Rest of the body

Another way of looking at ozone is to see it as an activated, excited form of oxygen. The highly unstable ozone molecule (O3) wants desperately to kick off one oxygen so it can return to the more stable O2 molecule. So, does that powerful reaction drive oxygen beneath the surface of a tooth through the tubules and kill bacteria in early decay? Does that essentially start a process that removes bacterial waste products, halts dental cavities, and begins a process of repair via accelerated remineralization? Dr. Ed Lynch and Dr. Julian Holmes, coauthors of the book, “Ozone, the Dental Revolution” (Quintessence 2004), say an unqualified “yes.”

There is in all our mouths a natural balance.

Your tooth surface losses minerals into your saliva at certain times, usually just after you start to eat. These acidic conditions favour mineral loss. The normal acid/alkaline balance exists in the oral cavity. When bacteria attach themselves to a tooth surface, they set up a complex community of some 450 different bacterial types over a period of time. If patients skimp on using a tooth brush, or forget to use dental floss on a regular basis, these communities of bacteria evolve into one which produces large volumes of acids. These acids attack the tooth surface, dissolving out the minerals, leaving a hole or cavity. As this cavity now gives the bacterial colonies a degree of protection, tooth brushing cannot remove the bacteria and so the process of decay accelerates.
