Like the rest of our body, our teeth and oral health systems are a living, changing the environment that is, but just treating from the outside alone (brushing and flossing), won’t fix oral problems unless you address the inside too, though these are still very important.

How to boost oral health?

Optimal oral health comes with supporting the body and mouth from the inside and outside at the same time. There were several things that were vital for me to boost oral health for myself and my family members:

1. Change in Diet: 

What you eat can impact oral health as much than brushing or flossing. Here’s why teeth are in constant state of remineralization as the saliva in the mouth provides minerals to the teeth and the cells in the teeth use these minerals to strengthen themselves.

  • The presence of enough fat-soluble vitamins in the diet
  • Low levels of phytic acid in the diet
  • Enough minerals in the diet.

Diet to help heal cavities and Improve oral health.

2. Adding Supplements: 

Supplements to help heal Cavities and improve oral health. To help the body remineralize cavities, it is sometimes necessary to increase mineral levels with supplements. Fermented Cod Liver Oil and Butter Blend- Only the Fermented Cod Liver Oil has the optimal combination of nutrients and is high Vitamins A, D and K.

Vitamin D- The best healing occurred when diet was optimized and Vitamin D was added. 

Coconut Oil- I take an additional 1/4-1/2 cup a day of coconut oil in a smoothie or melted in tea each day. We get ours from tropical traditions, but you can find it in many places, just look for organic, virgin and unrefined coconut oil. 

3. Balancing Hormones:

Hormones can have a dramatic effect on oral health as they can control the acid/alkaline balance in the mouth and how well the body can heal or fight disease. Many of us have symptoms of hormone imbalance and things like optimizing sleep, stress, diet, and fitness can make a big difference in hormone health and oral health.

4. Visit your specialized dentist every six months: 

You should visit your dentist every six months and get your oral check up done.
