Cod Liver Oil - Murrieta,CA

Do your own research and your own experimenting. If you can, find a holistic dentist who is willing to work with you. Most dentists are pretty useless as far as prevention goes, though they're handy for fixing teeth.

The fermented cod liver oil tastes utterly disgusting, in all flavors. I have not met a single person who managed to start taking it regularly. The flavored Nordic Naturals cod liver capsules are chewable and reasonably tasty. I know one person who actually uses them as bribes to get her children to do things! The lemon flavored cod-liver oils can also be used in salads, on popcorn, etc.

I'm doing a combined approach of high quality nutrition and moderately good hygiene and I am finally getting a handle on my tooth decay.

Cure Tooth Decay (by Ramiel Nagel)

research "oil pulling"

research the use of ozone in dentistry

Good luck! This is all very individual.

I am assuming your are dealing with baby teeth? While a big deal, not as big as if these are "adult" teeth. I would look into getting the adult teeth sealed as they come in.

Good luck.

I read an article recently where some university did a study, and found that if you kiss someone with cavities, you are more likely to have cavities! It's because of the bacteria that causes cavities, and kissing causes the bacteria to spread. I know, gross. So make sure your husband keeps on top of his dentist appointments, since he is more prone to cavities!

Anyhow, I would ask your dentist for further recommendations. If you live in an area without fluoride in the water, maybe talk to the dentist about a fluoride supplement. A small amount is necessary for good dental health. Most towns add fluoride to the water, but some do not.

I think Cod Liver Oil fell out of favor for good reason - kids hate it, and it didn't really help them.

You should ask the Dentist.

Genetically, some people are just more prone to cavities, and their enamel is weak or more porous etc.

Cavities, are also caused by a bacteria in the mouth. Some people just have this. That is why, they say do NOT share eating utensils or food with another person. Because you can transfer that bacteria to another mouth.
So I have heard.

Or try Google Searching "how are cavities formed."
or, "is there a bacteria that causes cavities."
or, "what causes tooth decay."

It sounds genetic. Bummer.

There was a study in the early to mid 1900s that indicated a certain diet could help with cavities. This included things like no typical western carbs (e.g., oatmeal) and eating things like organ meats. Cod liver oil was probably another item on that menu. You can google it, but it's a bit of a snooze.

I think the above diet would be more torture than getting the caviities fixed. Use fluoride toothpaste or rinse and floss regularly, which it sounds like you're doing. The dentist might be able to put a coating on the teeth to help prevent or slow down cavities, but I'm not sure about that. You might ask.

Good luck.

some people are just prone I think. You should talk to the dentist about what else you can do for her teeth.
