Hah I felt this same way when I discovered you can change your diet to basically completely remove all dental problems. I doubt society can possible change quickly enough for us to see the downfall of the profession.
Presumably no sugar being the primary factor. No carbs too?
sugar doesn't cause cavities, acids do. some bacteria which is not uniformly present in people eats carbs and deposits acids. this is covered in great detail ina good book, "kiss your dentist goodbye" that i just read. ive seen improvements in my awful teeth after giving the free regimen a try

#13Assuming this works, isn't this pretty much game over for dentists? I'm aware that dentists do more than fillings, but it seems like there would be a serious contraction, even if this costed something like $1000 a tooth after insurance. That being said, even if this worked, it's not like it's instant, so you still have to be careful with your teeth. I wonder how this differs from novamin, which supposedly does the sa…
Unfortunately, no. These only deposit a couple micrometers of enamel per day if used twice daily. They could potentially help as a form of preventative maintenance, but reversing significant dental cavities seems unlikely.
That seems like a lot though. Let's say it's just 1 micrometer per day. A tooth is about 10mm (10,000 micrometers). So over a period of about 28 years all of your teeth's enamel can be completely restored?
Given that most people don't lose all of the enamel of any of their teeth it seems like there wouldn't be any point of going to a dentist. By the time you're getting the age where you'd even think about dentures, this treatment would completely reverse all tooth decay no?

Yeah, extreme no sugar and no carb, almost pure carnivore. Haven’t had a bit of tooth decay since.

Also, presumably, drink water. That can't hurt.

I feel problems with gums and other areas don't get stressed enough in childhood. There are plenty of other problems that are not enamel-related, and I'd guess you can easily still have trouble with enamel even with this treatment.

Crooked dentists? Is this some sort of conspiracy theory? Dentists are medical professionals, who have been needed since the dark ages, and nowadays have very complex equipment and technology to ensure the best long-term and life-like suitable treatments for people.
What are you on about?
Re: Trials begin on lozenge that rebuilds tooth enamel
#18> The lozenge produces new enamel that is whiter than what tooth-whitening strips or gels produce. I wonder how white? I'm a bit nervous about having those over-whitened glow-in-the-dark teeth, that you sometimes see. Memories of that Friends episode, too.
My coffee habit will make short work of any overly white teeth.

I have a friend with extreme food restrictions, they can mostly only eat animal products (plus white rice and very few other things). They also cannot brush their teeth regularly due to disability - yet their teeth look fantastic!

Xylitol rinses are great too. Xylitol seems to function as a sort of “probiotic” for the mouth.
