Sugar Does NOT Cause Tooth Decay: Learn How To Stop and Reverse Cavities With These Hacks
Sugar on its own cannot cause tooth decay. This video challenges the idea that sugar is the only cause of tooth decay. It offers ways to halt and even reverse cavities, with methods you can use at home. #toothdecay #holisticdentistry #naturalhealing http://www.evolvedental.com.au Evolve Dental Healing 67 Kenmore Rd, Kenmore QLD 4069 (07) 3720 1811 [email protected] The Attack: You eat sugary or starchy foods. Bacteria in your mouth feed on these, releasing acids as a byproduct. Demineralization: The acid attacks your tooth enamel, which is made of minerals like calcium and phosphate. This weakens the enamel. Remineralization: Ideally, saliva washes away food particles and neutralizes the acid. Minerals from your saliva and food can then rebuild (remineralize) the enamel. However, if the acid attack is too frequent or intense, demineralization wins, leading to cavities. Here's where the holistic approach comes in: Diet: Limiting sugary and starchy foods reduces the acid attack. Focus on vegetables, calcium-rich foods (dairy, leafy greens), and vitamin D (helps mineral absorption). Some believe reducing foods high in phytic acid (grains, legumes) can further aid remineralization. Supplements: Some recommend calcium, vitamin D, and even silica supplements to boost your body's mineral resources for rebuilding teeth. It's important to note that while these methods can promote remineralization in the early stages of decay, they might not reverse established cavities.
