My 5 Best Websites for Natural Oral Health

My 5 Best Websites for Natural Oral Health

As soon as you start searching for information about oral health on the internet you can quickly become overwhelmed by thousands of choices, most of them fronting small dental practices or large toothpaste manufacturers. Almost all offer the same tired mainstream advice about brushing with fluoride as the best form of prevention.

When you narrow your search down to natural teeth care,  it’s a bit like entering a parallel universe dominated by alt-oral clickbait. You have to navigate through minefields of conspiracy theory and wacky home remedies to find the nuggets of gold.

I try to make sure that the Holistic Tooth Fairy is one of the best websites for natural oral health. If you like this site, you might also like this personal selection of my five favorites:

Healing Teeth Naturally is comprehensive in covering natural, holistic and conventional approaches to oral health in a well-organised manner. The site is all text, few images (except of crystals) and no videos. It’s published in English but translations of some pages are available in German, French, Greek,  Spanish, Slovene and Italian. Ulla Schmid describes her site as ‘humanitarian’  and she isn’t selling anything.

Hippy friendly. 

Ora Wellness offers tons of excellent information about natural oral health, and lots of useful but low-fi videos. Will and Susan Revak have developed their own range of natural products for teeth and gums, which I haven’t tried because shipping from Hawai’i to New Zealand is stupidly expensive.

Family friendly.

The Secret Lives of Teeth

Have you ever wondered whether there's more to oral health than regular brushing or avoiding sugar?

Or whether there's an emotional or spiritual meaning to tooth decay or gum recession?

Or why dental problems sometimes rise and fall with stress?

I wrote The Secret Lives of Teeth: Understanding the emotional influences on oral health to help answer these kinds of questions from spiritual, psychological and energetic perspectives.

Wellness Mama is a natural living website with a smattering of very good blog posts about oral health, including home made toothpaste and toothpowder recipes. Katie Wells is a solid researcher backed by a team, and she has built a substantial business with her natural living blog, books and podcast (while home schooling six children). There’s plenty of valuable free content grounded in her genuine passion for natural teeth healing, just sometimes it’s buried in a mountain of affiliate promotions and advertising.

DIY friendly.

 

Cure Tooth Decay is the website of the book of the same name (which I reviewed here). The site covers a lot of the same material as the book and is easier to search, though still heavy reading. This website was my first experience of alt-oral, and even before I read the book I was able to prevent a root canal by following the dietary advice I found on the site. The book’s author, Ramiel Nagel, sadly passed away last year, yet I find it slightly creepy that his online bio hasn’t changed since he was alive. 

Carnivore friendly.

 

Any dentist can call themselves ‘holistic’ even if their practice is entirely conventional. Because it’s a coveted search term with no regulation, finding a holistic dentist you can trust can be tricky. When you are searching for a local dentist who is truly holistic, try comparing their website to Evolve Dental.  Not many dentists have a blog as good as Evolve’s but if their services and philosophy are similar (e.g. safe amalgam removal and a dietary approach to prevention), then they are probably genuinely holistic.

Is it really possible naturally heal cavities with tooth remineralization?

Is it really possible naturally heal cavities with tooth remineralization?

Is it really possible to remineralize cavities naturally?

The short answer is yes! Tooth remineralization is a natural process in a healthy body.

tooth remineralization

Small cavitites come and go naturally all the time

Small cavities are very easy to heal holistically because your body is naturally remineralizing your tooth enamel all the time.  

You are probably never aware of most of the small cavities that come and go in your mouth throughout your life because they never reach the point of causing you pain. They may cause some sensitivity but they are gone by the time you go to the dentist.

There is an inevitable ebb and flow to your teeth of the nutrients that cause tooth remineralization. Sometimes poor diet, stress or ill health cause that flow to slow down which allows cavities open up, and at other times the nutrients are flowing free and fast so that small cavities remineralize swiftly, leaving no trace.

Tooth remineralization is a natural process that we can consciously choose to accelerate and direct by applying a range of holistic teeth healing strategies.

Bigger cavities can be healed naturally too

Big cavities can be remineralized in the same way, but you need to be more committed to incorporating holistic strategies into your daily life for a longer period. Even large cavities that are coming close to the nerve or root, when some dentists will suggest a root canal is the only option, can be healed holistically.

Although there is some evidence that dentin (the part of the tooth between the root and the enamel can be regrown (secondary dentin), it’s unlikely that a big hole can be filled in enough to match the original tooth shape.

However, it is certainly possible to remineralise the enamel across the surface of the cavity to create a hard, glassy surface with no decay either underneath or on top. Once a large cavity is remineralised in this way,it should never cause you problems again in the future as long as you keep the indentation, the remaining hole, very clean and keep up a maintenance level of teeth healing nutrients and other holistic strategies.

If you have a dead nerve underneath a filling or just inside an intact tooth surface, it may be that the nerve may be able to be restored. A dead nerve isn’t really dead its just broken. It is possible with commitment, time, and investment in support like homeopathy to restore the health of a ‘dead’ nerve.

What are the limits of tooth remineralization?

There are limits to the tooth remineralization that holistic teeth healing can achieve. If the cavity has already exposed the root or nerve, the pain is agonising and dysfunctional. You simply aren’t able to work, parent, sleep or carry out basic daily tasks when you are in the pain caused by an exposed root.

Sometimes an infection is too advanced and your overall body health is not strong enough to support healing. An infection won’t always be painful, other symptoms include inflammation, infection, abscess, pus draining etc.

When the root or nerve is exposed and/or infected you need to deal with it quickly and decisively. Those kinds of bacterial infections can enter your blood stream and cause serious disease in other parts of your body.

People have died from untreated tooth inflammation. You need to do something if you have a tooth root or nerve that is infected. It is not the time to take a ‘wait and see’ approach. Either go to the dentist, or inform yourself about natural alternatives and put them into action without compromise, but do not do nothing if you have an infection in your tooth.

tooth remineralization

Can holistic teeth healing complement dental interventions?

If the root is exposed you will be recommended a root canal by the dentist, and if you hesitate they may offer an extraction as a secondary (cheaper) option.

Many people have a blanket opposition to root canals and say that no root canal is a good root canal, but I believe that in some cases it is possible to have a root canal that is stable and doesn’t cause serious health problems. (I recommend reading my blog posts about root canals).

Everyone is different. Some people who are in good overall health, with a low-stress life and can live with root canal in a tooth (that is not associated with a part of their body that is vulnerable to inflammation and disease) and keep it stable with good holistic strategies to support teeth health.

If you have an extraction, it is possible to live with a gap in your mouth without needing an implant and without the bone loss or collapsing teeth that the dentist will tell you is inevitable. It is possible to keep your mouth stable around a gap after an extraction, and there is no need to decide on the spot whether you will get an implant. So even if you feel you have to rush into an extraction, you can take your time deciding what the next step will be.

tooth remineralization

You are the boss of your mouth

There are limits to holistic teeth healing, but natural, complementary and self help strategies can do an great deal more than most people think.

Small cavities do not need to become big cavities. Big cavities do not need to lead to root canals. Root canals are not the only option for an exposed root, and implants are not the only option after an extraction.

If you are facing a difficult diagnosis from a dentist I encourage you to get a second opinion, to do your own research, and not just passively accept what the first dentist advises. Sometimes what they are recommending is the right thing to do but not always, and its always worth considering all your options.

It’s up to you to make the best decision for your mouth, your health and your life.

Learning to love liver to prevent a root canal

Learning to love liver to prevent a root canal

How far would you go to prevent a root canal?

For a genuine super-food, liver gets a very bad rap but eating it helped me to prevent a root canal five years ago, and any significant cavities since then. I hated liver, and shuddered at the thought of eating it, but I hated the idea of another rooth canal (it would have been my seventh!) even worse.

Most people, when I recommend liver as a essential teeth and gum healing food, grimace and shudder at thought of eating this most accessible of offal.

However, when I ask if they think they could bear to eat pâté, they will often relax. Even if the thought of liver makes you gag, there’s usually at least one liver delicacy that you can tolerate (if you eat meat at all).

The concentration of fat soluble vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B12 and folic acid, iron, copper protein, anti-oxidents (and sometimes Activator X) means that liver has been recognized in every traditional food cultures as special nourishment for strength and vitality.  If you have tooth decay or gum disease liver is an important element in your holistic healing.

When vitamins A and D are consumed together as whole foods rather than supplements they are not toxic. Thus when you eat liver you should also eat foods with vitamin D (or getting a LOT of sunlight). Vitamin D rich foods include butter, milk, animal fat, seafood and eggs.

The easiest way to make sure your body can process the intense goodness in liver without overdosing on vitamin A is to eat butter or lard- if not at the same meal then at least the same day. And, no surprise, some of the most delicious liver recipes from different culinary traditions around the world include butter or lard.

Lets take a tour around some of the yummiest liver recipes in the world.

Paying for a Hollywood smile- The real cost of veneers

Paying for a Hollywood smile- The real cost of veneers

The real cost of veneers

Porcelain veneers are responsible for many perfect Hollywood smiles, the cost of veneers may not only impact your bank balance but also to the integrity and long-term health of your teeth.  Before you invest in this form of cosmetic dentistry, be sure to ask some searching questions, both of your dentist and yourself.

To help you make an informed decision and minimise the risks if you choose to get veneers, I’ve put together a checklist of 15 questions:

  • to ask of your dentist in the initial consultation;
  • to ask of yourself about the dentist after the initial consultation; and
  • to ask yourself,  and other health professionals.

What are veneers?

Sometimes called caps, veneers are thin shells of porcelain attached to your own teeth to make them appear straighter, longer and/or whiter. They are sometimes compared to false fingernails as they are about the same thickness, and comply with the same unrealistic standards of beauty. The false fingernail comparison may be contributing to the growing popularity of veneers, encouraged by cosmetic dentists and ‘walk in dental clinics offering lunchtime smiles’*. However, veneers are not the equivalent of false fingernails.

Veneers are permanent, they damage your own teeth and they are often painful. They take real skill to fit safely and attractively, yet the practice is unregulated and any dentist can offer them.  And they are very expensive.

Once you have been fitted for veneers you will not be able live comfortably without them for the rest of your life. Veneers involve ‘shaving and molding’ at least 0.5 – 1 mm of the enamel surface from the tooth to create a surface needed to bond the veneers.

Removing too little enamel can cause the veneers to feel uncomfortably thick: affecting bite, speech and chewing.

Removing too much enamel can expose the nerves in the dentin causing extreme pain during and after the shaving procedure and even after the veneers are fitted.

the real cost of veneer

How can a veneer fail?

Most veneers do not cause problems, but as their popularity grows, with both consumers and dentists, there are increasing numbers of people experiencing problems. In the UK alone dental negligence cases are increasing at about 20% per year.*  So what kind of things can go wrong with veneers?

  • Veneers can fall off the teeth when the bond fails
  • Gaps between the veneers and the underlying tooth can allow bacteria to flourish, leading to decay
  • Overhanging veneers cause problems to the bite; making talking and eating difficult, causing headaches and neck problems, contributing to pain, sleeplessness and gum disease.
  • If the dentist removes too much enamel from the root surface the nerve can become inflamed or infected and the tooth can die off.

What happens when a veneer fails?

If your original veneers were comfortable and long lasting, you are probably a good candidate for replacement veneers. The replacement cost of veneers is likely to be lot more than your original veneers. Replacement veneers require even more skill to apply because there is less tooth structure to bond to than during the original procedure.

If your veneers have failed quickly and painfully, unfortunately it’s likely that the only solutions are either a root canal and crown, or an extraction and implant. Both procedures are painful and expensive… and have long term health consequences.

What are the alternatives to veneers?

The best alternative dental treatment is to whiten the teeth and gently contour the enamel edges; trimming a long edge or building up shorter edges with composite.

Crowns can achieve the cosmetic advantages of veneers but are considerably more damaging to the tooth structure, often leaving only a peg or stump of tooth beneath. They should only be used when the tooth is already severely compromised by decay or a root canal.

There are holistic solutions to the problems of crooked and discolored teeth. For example, adjusting your diet and other self-help strategies will strengthen and whiten your teeth. A specialist cranial-sacral oesteopath can help to ease up crowded teeth.

These approaches take more time and commitment than buying cosmetic dentistry. The results will never be as dramatic as veneers but they are more sustainable and involve less risk.

Even the most expensive holistic strategies will cost less over your lifetime than then the initial cost of the cheapest veneers (which might be guaranteed for 5 years).

The cost of veneers encourages many consumers to look internationally for more affordable dentists.  When shopping for dental services overseas it is even more important to do your due diligence about the dentist to ensure they are experienced and well equipped to provide a safe service and comprehensive aftercare and guarantees.  The questions in the Veneers Checklist should be asked no matter where you are buying your veneers.

Is there a Spiritual Meaning to Your Toothache?

Asking your intuition about your toothache meaning can put you in touch with the subconscious feelings and thoughts that influence your oral health.

  • Is there something you’re not talking about in your life?
  • What are your stress levels day-to-day at the moment?
  • Are you harboring any unhealed emotional traumas?

These are just some of the questions you can ask yourself in order to find the spiritual meaning of your toothache.

The key is to get curious, and then trust where your intuition takes you.

One way to tune in to find your signal amongst the noise is through stilling the mind through grounding practices or meditation and then, with relaxed curiosity just explore what thoughts and questions come to mind.

The role of intuition in oral health

Intuition plays a significant role in my holistic teeth healing coaching practice.

Since my own experience of dramatically healing my own teeth eight years ago, I have read widely about alternative approaches to dental health.  I’ve experimented with myself, then friends and family, and eventually I started sharing my knowledge with clients.

When working with clients I not only draw on my years of research and experience, I will also allow my intuition to guide my recommendations.

In practice, this means a few minutes of quiet meditation before the session starts. I try to set aside my ego and open myself so that I can respond to your toothache and its possible meanings.

I listen not only to what you say but also what you don’t say. I respond not only to what I know but what you know, even if you aren’t consciously aware that you know it yet.

Tuning into your intuition

More importantly, I encourage you to learn to tune into your own intuition around what your teeth and gums need.

If you already have ways of listening to your intuition we will work with those.

If not, I often encourage meditation and/or journalling as a starting point.

Try listening to your body- the twinges, the nausea, the aches, and the pleasures.

You might be surprised at the ideas that come to you when you allow yourself space to tune in to your intuition for your mouth, or you might think ‘of course!’

Asking your intuition about your toothache meaning can put you in touch with the subconscious feelings and thoughts that influence your oral health.

Thoughts and feelings are among the metaphysical influences on the health of adults teeth and gums.

Many of us have been disempowered (or worse traumatised), by past dental experiences.

We carry feelings of helplessness, pain, grief, shame, and fear that affect our body’s ability to heal itself naturally.

We often have difficulty identifying, let alone communicating to dentists, what our boundaries and personal priorities are for our own bodies.

So what is the Spiritual Meaning of Your Toothache?

The symptoms you experience in your teeth and gums draw attention to any areas in your life that aren’t in alignment with your highest good or life purpose.  

The truth about every one of us is that we are a beautiful, bright shining manifestation of the Universe (or God, or Life, or Love- whatever you like to call it). 

The human condition means we don’t always feel like that though. Nature and nurture, ancestry and environment, free will, and systemic oppression all conspire to divert us from embodying our essential truth consistently.

One of the roles played by your teeth and gums is to let you know when you should stop settling for…

  • less than nourishing food,
  • jaw-tightening stress levels,
  • carelessly harmful hygiene habits,
  • unfulfilling work or
  • unhealed emotional traumas (to name just a few possibilities).

Intuition and your dentist

Trusting your intuition may mean:

  • requesting tests,
  • getting a second opinion from another dentist, or
  • consulting a complementary therapist
  • exploring new ways of eating, or cleaning your teeth, or holding your jaw.
