We previously thought it was impossible to heal dental cavities, but recent research found out that there are proven remedies that can heal cavities because now we understand the true nature of tooth decay and what can cause it.



3 Mains causes to tooth decay:
  •  Lack of minerals in the diet.
  •  Not enough fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) in the diet.
  •  Nutrients are not being readily bio-available.

How to naturally stop the pain from cavities?
  • Lemon
  • Ice Therapy
  • Wheat Grass Juice
  • Salted Water
  • Warm Water
  • Gingers
  • Peppermint
  • Onion and Garlic
  • Turmeric Powder
  • Mustard Oil
  • Camphor or Clove Oil
  • Oregano Oil


What are the solutions to heal cavities?
It's all about diet. Simply eat the right types of foods that will restore your teeth.


Foods to focus on are:

  • 1- Coconut oil.
  • 2- Grass-fed organic dairy.
  • 3- Grass-fed, meats.
  • 4- Seafood and bone broths.
  • 5- Organic cooked vegetables.
  • 6- Organ and gland meats, like liver.




You can even try supplements like:
1- Fermented cod liver oil - very high in fat,
2- soluble vitamins A, D and  K. Magnesium is needed to utilize calcium and phosphorous




You can also try this magical tooth powder recipe to reverse cavities naturally:

4 tbsp Bentonite Clay
3 tbsp Calcium Magnesium Powder
1 tbsp Baking Soda
1 tbsp Powdered mint leaf
1 tbsp Cinnamon Powder
1 Teaspoon to 1 tablespoon Cloves Powder

Focus on these simple solutions and take care of your pearly whites.


There is a common belief today about cavities that once you have tooth decay, that cavity can NOT be reversed or healed. Then the only solution is to have part of your tooth drilled out and filled with a synthetic material.
But according to a study published in the British Medical Journal cavities and tooth decay could potentially be healed or reversed with diet.
A study was performed on 62 children with cavities and they were divided into three different diet groups.  Group 1 ate a standard diet plus oatmeal (rich in phytic acid).  Group 2 consumed their normal diet and supplemented with vitamin D.  Group 3 ate a grain-free diet and took vitamin D.
The results found that group 1 who had a diet high in grains and phytic acid had an increase in cavities. Group 2 had improvements in cavities and less form. Group 3 who followed a grain-free diet rich in vegetables, fruits, meat, milk and took vitamin D saw the greatest improvements in which nearly all cavities healed.
This study along with the backing of many doctors and dentists is proving we have been misinformed about what causes cavities and if they can truly be reversed.
Dentist Ramiel Nagel who authored the book Cure Tooth Decay has helped many of his patients “reverse” their tooth decay and would rather not put in fillings. He believes that you can prevent and heal cavities with nutrition.
In this article I am going to go over the causes of tooth decay and how it may be prevented and in many cases even reversed.

The Cause of Tooth Decay

To understand the link between diet and tooth decay we must start with one of the most well-respected dentists who ever lived Weston A. Price.
West A. Price lived in the early 1900’s and was the chairman of the National Dental Association (1914-1923), and a pioneer for the ADA.
Weston Price traveled the world searching to discover what causes tooth decay. Dr. Price found a common link between eating modern foods and cavities. He witness that many indigenous isolated tribes had perfect teeth and little tooth decay. But once they were exposed to a western diet they experienced tooth decay, bone loss and chronic illness.
According to the American Dental Association this is the cause of tooth decay:
“[Tooth decay] occurs when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) such as milk, pop, raisins, cakes or candy are frequently left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth thrive on these foods, producing acids as a result. Over a period of time, these acids destroy tooth enamel, resulting in tooth decay.”
But the truth is the ADA is only hitting on 1 of the 4 things that could contribute to tooth decay.
According to the insights of Dr. Edward Mellanby, Dr. Weston Price and Dr. Ramiel Nagel there are 4 main things that contribute to tooth decay:
  1. Lack of minerals in the diet (calcium, magnesium and phosphorus)
  2. Lack of fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) (especially D)
  3. Too much consumption of Phytic Acid rich foods
  4. Too much consumption of processed sugar
Let’s discuss the 4 aspects that cause tooth decay and how they can be addressed with diet.

How to Reverse Cavities Naturally

Don’t be fooled, there in addition to brushing and flossing daily, there are several ways you can reverse cavities and maximizes your oral health without resorting to taking in fluoride. Here are just a few for you to consider:
Removing Sugar – Probably the worst culprit of them all for anyone who desires healthy, cavity-free teeth, sugar should be avoided like the plague. Not only does sugar feed oral bacteria that prevents a healthy flow of dental fluids, it is highly acidic and can literally decalcify or demineralize the structural content of teeth that create dental decay.
This means staying away from soda, candy, and baked goods with sugar. Additionally, use raw honey and maple syrup and drink juices sparingly as too much sugar can contribute to cavity formation. Be careful of artificial sweeteners because of their health risks as well. Bottom line: Make stevia your new best friend along with raw honey in moderation!
Removing Phytic Acid – Phytic acid (phytate) is a mineral blocker and enzyme inhibitor found in grains, nuts, seeds and beans which can serious health problems in our diets.The main reason phytic acid has become an issue today is because we have stopped ancient food preparation techniques such as sprouting or sourdough fermentation which kills off the phytic acid.


According to research published in the The Lancet a diet high in phytic acid will create mineral deficiencies and cause osteoporosis.
80% of phosphorus in grains and beans is bound to phytic acid so it is completely un-absorbable. In addition to blocking phosphorus availability in humans, these molecules bind minerals necessary for oral health such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc; thus, causing them to be unavailable for proper utilization. Consuming foods high in phytic acid decreases magnesium absorption by 60% and zinc by 20%.
Phytic acid not only doesn’t allow you to absorb in minerals in your food, it also leaches minerals out of your body, bones and teeth!
Subsequently, the powerful anti-nutritional effects of phytic acid have been known to cause digestive disorders, lack of appetite, nutrient deficiencies, and tooth decay. A good rule of thumb is to limit your grain consumption and stay completely clear from unfermented soy products. Because phytic acid is much higher in foods grown using modern high-phosphate fertilizers than those grown in natural compost, try to only eat foods that are organic and GMO-free.

If you are aiming to improve your health and reverse cavities, foods high in phytic acid like grains, beans, nuts and soy should be avoided. However, if you soak grains or nuts and then sprout them or do sourdough fermentation you can reduce phytic acid by around 50 – 100%.
Raw Dairy and Nutrient Rich Foods – Raw dairy is filled with the vitamins and minerals that contribute to a healthy dental fluid flow and help maintain strong teeth. Loaded with calcium, vitamin K2, vitamin D3, magnesium, phosphorus, and fat-soluble vitamins it is a good idea to consume raw dairy products at least weekly. I recommend goat’s milk kefir, raw cheeses and organic grass-fed butter are great options.
Remember, if you’re going to beat tooth decay, you need to increase your fat soluble vitamin intake and mineral intake. If I were creating an ideal diet to follow, it would look like this:
  • Rich in animal foods like bone broth, meat, fish and eggs.
  • Raw and cooked vegetables especially green leafy vegetables.
  • Raw dairy like kefir, cheese and grass-fed butter
  • Fruit one piece daily early in day
  • High vitamin D – get plenty of sunshine and days not in sun supplement with 5,000IU daily of D3.
  • Foods high in healthy fat like coconut oil, avocado, olives and fish or fermented cod liver oil.
  • Fermented grains only and in moderation such as true sourdough bread (or even better no grains at all). You can buy raw flours and breads here: bluemountainorganics.com and wisechoicemarket.com
  • Nuts, seeds and beans only that have been sprouted. You can find sprouted nuts and seeds at: bluemountainorganics.com.
  • Finally, NO processed food, packaged food or fast food.
Mineralizing Tooth Paste – First of all, I know it can get expensive, but there are several brands of fluoride-free toothpaste that you won’t have to pay a small fortune to get your hands on. Second, if you’re looking to save a buck or two and also want to remineralize your teeth in a particularly powerful way, try making your own!
Oil Pulling – Used for centuries by Ayurvedic medicine, oil pulling is a fantastic oral detoxification procedure that has gained some popularity in the U.S. the last several years. Simply done by swishing a tablespoon of oil in your mouth for 20 minutes, this simple process has been praised to cure everything from gingivitis to headaches to systemic diseases like diabetes! 
If you can’t do 20 minutes, 3-5 minutes is still good. I recommend using coconut oil or MCT Oil and a drop or two of clove and/or tea tree essential oils for maximal antiseptic and antifungal power. Here are some tips:
  • The best time to oil pull (like most other detoxification procedures) is first thing in the morning right after you get out of bed.
  • Don’t let the 20 minutes time frame deter you. You won’t even notice 20 minutes have gone by if you do this during your normal morning routine (i.e. while you shower, put your clothes on and prep for the day).
  • Immediately afterwards, rinse your mouth out with warm water. Use salt water for added antimicrobial properties.
  • Don’t be shocked if the oil/saliva mixture you spit out is milky white or yellow.
  • Finally, brush your teeth as normal.
Note: This should be a relative relaxing process, so don’t feel compelled to vigorously swish your mouth with oil for the entire time or else you’re bound to get sore jaw muscles. Simply and gently move the oil in your mouth and through your teeth without swallowing any of it.
In a nutshell, these are the best ways to naturally reverse cavities. Take charge of your oral wellness today and show off your new, healthy smile with pride!

It’s been said that total body health begins in the mouth. But why?

Well, for one thing, it’s the gateway through which you either nourish yourself with life-supporting food and drink or burden your body with toxins from alcohol, cigarettes, drugs or processed foods.
Furthermore, a clean mouth may also be the key to preventing disease, and studies are beginning to highlight the relationship between poor oral health and conditions like inflammation, diabetes and even heart disease.
If you’re a twice-a-day brusher and religious flosser, bravo – you probably have nothing to worry about.
But what if your daily oral hygiene practice also included swishing around oil in your mouth?
And what if that practice could whiten your teeth, detoxify your body and even prevent cavities? 

Grease Your Teeth

Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that essentially involves swishing around oil in the mouth. Similar to a mouthwash, the oil “pulls” bacteria and toxins out of the mouth and, over time, can leave your teeth whiter and your gums healthier. And while oil pulling may seem a little “woo woo” at first, many studies have proven that the practice can be extremely beneficial to oral health and hygiene.

Here are some of the ways oil pulling works:

1. Removes plaque.

Oil pulling can reduce the bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) responsible for tooth decay and dental cavities. One study on adolescents showed that oil pulling delivered comparable results to using mouthwash when it came to reducing bacteria count in plaque and saliva.

2. Whitens teeth.

In the same way that your teeth look brighter and shinier when you leave the dentist, oil pulling can also whiten your teeth. You probably can’t expect to blind people with your smile, but some individuals do report noticeable whitening results. Swishing of the oil triggers an emulsification process, which has been shown to help enhance the oil’s “scrubbing” capabilities. This mechanical cleansing action helps to remove stains from the teeth. 

3. Cures bad breath.

With the removal of bacteria, oil pulling can also remedy bad breath, or halitosis.One study found that after just 14 days, oil pulling was just as effective as mouthwash at curing halitosis.

4. Removes toxins.

Research has shown that root canals, mercury fillings and other dental work can often leave behind toxic agents that are then released into the bloodstream. The antibacterial and antifungal properties of oils like coconut and sesame can effectively remove toxins from the mouth that might cause infection, inflammation or disease.

How to Oil Pull

While oil pulling can be a bit time-consuming, the process is fairly simple. Follow these steps – and make sure to use organic oil.

1. Start with about a tablespoon of coconut or sesame oil.

If you can’t handle a tablespoon, use a little more than a teaspoon and work your way up to more. If you’re using coconut oil, warm the oil in your mouth until it liquefies. 

2. Swish, swish, swish.

Swish the oil around in your mouth for about 20 minutes. Make sure it covers all areas of your teeth and gums, but don’t let it touch the back of your throat, and no gargling!

3. Spit out the oil – in a trash can.

After you’re done, spit the oil into a trash can. (Beware: oil can clog drains!)

4. Rinse your mouth.

Clean your mouth with some warm water and brush your teeth as normal.
To experience optimal health benefits, try to oil pull at least a few times a week, if not every day.
While studies have yet to confirm that oil pulling is a detoxifying cure-all, those who swear by the practice claim it has helped to remedy everything from acne and arthritis to headaches and hormonal imbalances.
If you think you can’t stomach swirling grease in your mouth (it’s really not that bad!), I highly recommend you at least give it a shot. Even if you only get cleaner teeth and a lower dentist bill, that’s reason enough to toss your mouthwash for a little oil, isn’t it? 

We know that today all of you want to have beautiful white teeth and that lovely fresh and clean feeling in your mouth. To be able to smile with confidence can make such a difference to the way you feel about yourself. However not all of us can afford regular trips to the orthodontist for a teeth-whitening procedure. Well the good news is that you don’t have to shell out a small fortune once every six months to get your teeth looking almost bleached white. Instead, following some of these tips and ideas gathered together by Ela Gale can save you a fortune and achieve remarkably effective results at the same time. What we like most about this video is that Ela gives you a variety of options. Two months ago we posted a video on how to naturally clean your teeth using baking soda and lemon juice, which incredibly, nearly half a million of you shared with your friends. However we were also aware that a number of you were concerned about the acidity of lemon juice and its effect on your tooth enamel. 

  • 1 strawberries and baking soda
  • 2 baking soda and apple cider vinegar
  • 3 olive oil rinse
  • 4 rub teeth with banana peel
  • 5 rub teeth with citrus peel
  • 6 add pinch of salt to daily toothpaste
  • 7 eat an apple a day
  • 8 add milk to coffee and tea
  • 9 increase intake of dairy and other high calcium foods
  • 10 decrease consumption of caffeinated drinks

Well while the effect of the baking soda is intended to neutralize the acidity of the lemon, it doesn’t do that completely. As a consequence, we wanted to do a little more digging around, and we really like many of the ideas suggested instead of the baking soda and lemon juice option. Not only did we come across a few surprises, like using banana peel or olive oil, but Ela also includes some great tips not only on how to whiten your teeth the natural way, but on how to keep them white afterwards. After all, in so many instances in life, prevention is far better than cure! So try out some of these ideas and let us know via our Facebook page how you got on. Better still, if you have a home-based tip for whitening your teeth that works for you, why not tell us about that too?

One of our Facebook fans is asking whether there is any way to whiten teeth, I have planned to dig some solutions for this myself for long, and find some ways to try. There are 6 MAIN Causes of Tooth Discoloration: Red wine, tea/coffee, soft drinks (including carbonated drinks), cigarettes, sweets and antibiotics. So if you feel you are somewhat addicted to one or more on it, try to avoid it.
They are many teeth whitening kits and products available or daily care, you can check the ranking and comments. Amazon is a good choice for search, I did search before buying myself.
Today we are going to introduce a homemade natural way to whiten teeth, with 2 easy ingredients.
Caution: Please do not overdo it as it may lead to you weakening your enamel. Once a week is recommended, try several weeks to see how it works!

At-Home Teeth Whitening vs. Dentist-Supervised Teeth Whitening

There are differences between whitening teeth at home and having them bleached in a dentist's office, including:
  • Strength of bleaching agent. Over-the-counter products and dentist-supervised at-home products usually contain a lower strength bleaching agent, with about a 10% to 22% carbamide peroxide content, which is equivalent to about 3% hydrogen peroxide. In-office, professionally applied tooth whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide in concentrations ranging from 15% to 43%.
  • Mouthpiece trays. With dentist-supervised at-home bleaching products, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and make a mouthpiece tray that is customized to exactly fit your teeth. This customization allows for maximum contact between the whitening gel, which is applied to the mouthpiece tray, and the teeth. A custom-made tray also minimizes the gel's contact with gum tissue. Over-the-counter whitening products also contain a mouthpiece tray, but the "one-size-fits-all" approach means that the fit will not be exact. Ill-fitting trays can irritate the gum and soft tissue by allowing more bleaching gel to seep onto these tissues. With in-office procedures, the bleaching agent is applied directly to the teeth.
  • Additional protective measures. In the office setting, your dentist will apply either a gel to the gum tissue or use a rubber shield (which slides over the teeth) prior to treatment to protect your gums and oral cavities from the effects of the bleaching. Over-the-counter products don't provide these extra protective measures.
  • Costs. Over-the-counter bleaching systems are the least expensive option, with in-office whitening being the costliest.
  • Supervised vs. unsupervised process. Dentist-supervised at-home bleaching and in-office treatments offer additional benefits compared with over-the-counter procedures. First, your dentist can perform an oral exam and consider your complete medical history, which can be helpful in determining if bleaching is an appropriate course of treatment based on the type and extent of stains, and the number and location of restorations. Your dentist can then better match the type of stain with the best treatment, if appropriate, to lighten those stains. With dentist-supervised bleaching procedures, your dentist will likely want to see you a couple of times to ensure you are following directions, to make sure the customized tray is fitting properly, to inspect the gums for signs of irritation, and to generally check on how the teeth whitening process is proceeding. With over-the-counter bleaching products, you are on your own.
