Treatment of dental fluorosis
Hi to All,
Does anyone have any experience with dental fluorosis.My children were diagnosed with this about 18 months ago by a Holistic dentist.My son has developed an obvious cavity in the past 6 months despite good oral hygiene.
There are 2 other teeth which have begun to decay (all 3 teeth are affected by fluorosis)The holistic dentist wants to drill away the weakened part of all 3 teeth ,even though 2 teeth do not appear to have a "hole" they are beginning to decay and she wants to prevent further decay.
This dental practice advocates the works of Dr Weston Price who believed that traditional food preparation such as soaking grains and fermentation which reduces phytic acid consumption and a diet including meat, animal broth, raw dairy, minimal fruit but more vegetables and a supplement of fermented cod liver oil combined with raw butter oil, can not only prevent tooth decay but also help to remineralise teeth.
A Dr Ramiel Nagel wrote a book "Cure Tooth Decay"- ive yet to read this book but will, has anyone read this book?
My question is this- Can diet and supplements alone, remove accrued fluoride in teeth?
In my mind it would logically follow that if this is possible, then the remineralisation process could occur with the correct nutrition.
Also, ive been reading about Xylitol, a natural sweetener. I found something on my reading around the internet about I think the country is Norway, using this for children (instead of fluoride) as a dental prophylactic. Apparantly children suck on a xylitol lollie after eating and this reduces plaque formation on teeth.
Does anyone have anything negative to say about Xylitol as I thought i might start using it in baking, you can even get xylitol chocolate- there you go...
Ive been emotionally distressed for months about my childrens teeth, you see i took them to the regular dentist from the time when they were little as all "good" mothers do.In fact we used to frequent a paediatric specialist, so we got extra good care, so ive been complicit in destroying my beautiful childrens teeth. Ive gone from anger to helplessness to abject fear about all of this.Finally im able to be constructive tho i feel like crying about this and still do, there are times when i feel like they have been physically assaulted, this is also why i want to avoid drilling/filling as much as possible.
Our appointment is this Tuesday, at least one filling is necessary, if anyone has any experience/opinions especially in reguards to my 2 questions i will await your reply, thanks lookbeyond
Also,does anyone know if iodine can remove, fluoride from teeth, the holistic dentist recommended 3 drops/day but i dont know if this was for general elimination or will dislodge from teeth and bones- cant find anything much around on the internet,lb
