Tried it. It worked. Went to dentist 2 months ago. 5 cavities. 2 quite progressed and 3 not so bad but doc wanted to fill them Swished with coconut oil faithfully each night for 2 months and drank 4 to 8 oz of goat milk keifer. When i went in for my appt, 1 cavity was completely healed, the other 2 were notably better. She put them on the watch list. So 3 out of 5 healed and healing. Thanks Dr. Axe!

@@JonTBH. I understand there to be bacteria in your mouth that actually does do that: remineralize your teeth. This bacteria, unfortunately, is also killed when using most tooth pastes, along with the various bacteria that you are intending to kill.

I get palm sugar made locally in Bali and it has no negative side effects and doesn't hurt my teeth whereas granulated sugar almost immediately makes my teeth sting with pain. The type of sugar makes a big difference!
This is so interesting, I have a few sensitive teeth and made the same observation (!) Still can't wrap my head around how sugars can be sensed so differently by teeth!
You are Fabulous Dr. Axe and so needed. There are so many "Professionals" who just want con people out of their money....I took one of my daughters for a check up when she was about 16. The dentist told her she needed a bunch of work done. I was very skeptical. I contacted a friend who worked in a dental office. She said that what my daughter was told is common for elderly people, and she was highly skeptical that it was true. So I took my daughter to the dentist my friend works for, and she only needed a Wisdom tooth extraction. The first Dentist was totally trying to con a young, trusting person.
I'm 33 have only had one baby cavity. What works for me is going to the dentist twice annually. Brushing my teeth twice daily, flossing at night, on most nights and then always, always rinsing with a solution of 3/4 hydrogen peroxide and 1/4 water for a full minute, before bed. The small traces of hydrogen peroxide that remain after you spit it out, will continue to eat the sugar acids and bacteria from you teeth and gums.
Using a product like Closys or Therabreath would be better (both have diluted chlorine dioxide). Hydrogen peroxide can be harsh to the gums and teeth. Also, fluoride, or mineral based, toothpaste shouldn't be rinsed off as it works optimally if it is left on the teeth. I wish I understood this as a kid ,it would have saved me from getting several cavities.

I'm so glad I grew up on a farm in the 80's, never a broken bone or rotted tooth simply because of proper and self grown nutrition. We ate Eggs, grass fed beef, open range chickens and vegetables we grew. All cooked in either butter, Lard or Tallow, vegetable oils were for starting fires or lubing our sharpening stones we never ingested that poison.
I don't know if your information are correct or not but I know for sure as I was an eye witness of my 2 cousins complete healing of their tooth cavities. At the age of 10 they had both two holes in almost each tooth. They even inserted a toothpick from one side to another laughing about it. The cause was luck of calcium and other ingredients due to extreme poverty. After one year of quality food (meat and milk) all of the holes were closed. You can say their teeth regrowth. Never had a problem with their teeth since then.
Its not well informed. A cavity can't heal. Cavity means a whole in the enamel that has reached the dentin. And it can't heal. You can only stop an incipient cavity (not yet thru the enamel) from getting worse by mineralization.
Please tell me clearly what did your cousins exactly do that time.....I will also do that....I believe that you are not lying.... please help me and tell exactly what did they do that time.....I want to do that please help....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@chabbidasgupta3280 I also believe that vitamin D from the sun played a very important role since my cousins they live by the sea. The main thing is that the holes were white meaning it wasn't because of tooth decay (black hole) but of luck of calcium since they never drink milk or eat dairy and meat wasn't an option since the age of 5. They even boost their high very quickly by the age of 14 by just eating dairy and meat, playing all day long at the beach.

Great advice. I take vitamin k2, vitamin D, drink raw cow's milk, avoid wheat and sugar, brush with fluoride free toothpaste, and avoid fluoride water. I haven't needed the dentist in over two years.
I fully agree I used to have a cavity and I stopped drinking soda 5 years ago I stopped getting cavities I started brushing my teeth twice or three times a day and flossing once every other day
Thanks I have chlorophyll. Stopped using it due taste but could make smoothees with it I guess. Just started on fermented cod liver oil pills. Will have to check out Spirolina.
I noticed when I had a cavity once I start brushing my teeth two and three times a day and not eating any candies or soda my cavities started to go away
This works. I was into eating whole wheat and oatmeal for years. I thought it was good for you. My teeth and gums were in terrible shape. One dentist want to pull my all my back teeth out. I already had one tooth taken out 6 six years. After that tooth was pulled, I never wanted another tooth pulled. I found a book by Ramiel Nagel, who says the same stuff he is saying. I started making my own sourdough bread. Gave up nuts, whole wheat, oatmeal and beans. My teeth and gums are great shape. No more worries about my teeth anymore. Why isn't this phytic acid thing talked about in our regular mainstream news? Is it because of corporations or industries that fear people will give up on their products?
I had to give up wheat due to fibro. That's vile right there! Flare ups will feel like the flu w/o coughs & fevers as well as lava eating at ur bones, fibers, & muscles! Fibro is Satan!!!
@@osuushiza8 If you cant spread it on your food dont put it in your mouth. The best way to poison your gur bionome twice a day. No wonder dentists recommend it!!!
Well, the most important recommendation is missing, which is simply brushing your teeth every single time you have a meal, and use dental floss at least once a day. I brush my teeth four times a day and it's been years since I don't have any dental issues.
Three things to mention. Vit K affects blood thinning medication unless taken regularly and the warfarin dose adjusted accordingly by professionals. Glutathione helps the liver detox and helps the body with the poisons in our system from tooth fillings. Thirdly, charcoal tablets clear poisons from the system but also clears all medication out too so be careful. Chewing it at first is heavily black but is known to improve the white colour of teeth without causing damage.
Fix your diet and get off the meds. You can see that the biggest portion of this video is cut out grains and sugars and eat high fat meat and avocados. Every part of our body is a window into our diet. While some things are are weak spots and pop up as issues first, like teeth or joints, it all comes from what we put in our body. I tell people to have a garden and get chickens. The time out doors and eating a dozen or more eggs a week will help a ton. But cookies or skim milk are just bad for us.
Well thanks a lot Dr. Axe because my broken tooth got worse and I got serious pain from an infection... So I decided to take this information wholeheartedly and added crushed garlic to treat the area and stopped eating my precious chocolate matcha cake and the pain has almost subsided completely. I got a little too complacent because my tooth felt better and was consuming coffee with lots of cream and sugar and ate lots of personal home made baked goods. After a about a week or so the pain came back so bad! I knew I had to do more to treat it so I took a few extra steps. One particular night I decided to put a cotton ball with some clove essential oil on the tooth that was hurting and noticed the cotton ball was bloody. The pain did not go away immediately but after cutting back on sweets and coffee it's already doing much better. As for the garlic application... Folks let me tell you... the active compound is so strong that they use it to treat drug resistant infections/bacteria in addition to the antibiotics that the infections tend to resist. It also burns but the pain of the infection made the burn less noticeable. There also may be a better way to apply it to avoid that. I don't know. Anyway, it's amazing that people dont "believe" this stuff works... Weird world we live in where you tell them something good and everyone acts like you're crazy despite the evidence. More so are the people who seem to WANT to wish ill health on you for spreading this information. Like you're doing something immoral? What? And what is that? This is about health and health is also about care. Where is the care in wanting others to suffer for this? Sadists? Whatever. I'm glad the pain is subsiding because now I can think clearly again. God bless.
I usually mix a hand full in different dishes like salads, pasta salads, homemade sub sandwiches and tomato soups and or wild rice and chicken soup. So, I mostly eat it raw but I will warm it up in a soup. When I eat it raw I put a spice on it like pepper, lemon pepper, ginger, or curry powder to help digest it easily. I sauteed it with raw spinach, next I will try it on a homemade pizza and a souffle
i bet it's great on a sub. something different, more flavor than ordinary lettuce. i've only had it boiled. when i grow collards I TRY to grow kale alongside. unfortunately my chickens seem to like it a lot lol
@@ms.k3837 I just put some in my chicken soup tonight and it was yummy too. I also make it into a salad with goat cheese , sesame oil, cranberries and almonds. Took it to Xmas dinner, everyone loved it
Never eat any leafy green vegetable raw. You are asking for trouble. Not my words, old indian people say it. They are the oldest civilization so I kinda trust them.
Hi, I personally believe what you say, cavities heal, yet, for the sake of my mom, please put some before and after pictures of healed cavities and exact process to do so stepwise, length of time and exact treatment. My mom will believe it too. Thank you. Also, I am doing dry fasting and hope to heal my cavities this way.
Hey! It's been years, but just in case you see this, how did your dry fasting go for your cavity healing? I am midway through a water fast and plan to move on to dry fasting as well for two tiny cavities I have. Best!
I suffered from eczema. I still have mild to moderate gut issue. After studying your video religiously I learned so much & practiced. I consume bone broth, use coconut oil for everything, eat organic veggies, and prebiotic supplements daily. One thing I cannot consume that you mentioned in many video is kefier. I believe it's milk product & I cannot handle it although it is fermented.
Please take into consideration that Kefir has no lactose, so it shouldn´t be harmfuk for you, another option: look for water based Kefir which use no milk at all
It's 2017, yet people are still talking about how phytic acid "stops you from absorbing all the minerals" that you consume... Yeah well, say that to my 101 grandfather who ate barley, hard wheat and chickpeas his entire life and almost exclusively in the last 20 years and NEVER broke a bone as a construction worker...
I don't avoid phytic acid (even though it is a concern with too much it potentially damaging) but am still healing my cavities--documented with many photographs on my website. Genetics also play a role in how strong and resistant we are to various stresses. Some, for example, may have been born with much enamel and can afford to lose a lot over lifetime without developing cavities.
Yes this happened to me!!😊 i had a cavity forming and went back for the filling and it was healed. I was oil pulling to whiten them didnt know it will heal it❤
Its not well informed. A cavity can't heal. Cavity means a whole in the enamel that has reached the dentin. And it can't heal. You can only stop an incipient cavity (not yet thru the enamel) from getting worse by mineralization.
This is great advice on how to PREVENT cavities. A "cavity" is a hole in the tooth and once that happens, kefir and avocado do not help replace the missing enamel. If there is DEMINERALIZATION, all of your tips are great! Maybe you can make a video pointing out the difference between the beginning stages of tooth decay, and a true cavity?
@stationarywanderer7910 yes you can. I've had it happen. The enamel can harden over a hole in your tooth. You can also arrest the bacteria in the cavity and the cavity itself becomes hard
Heads up Dr.Axe, I know your from the USA but we have a channel 4 programme here called food unwrapped. They look at how different foods are made/processed/produced and where are they from. Their investigations in one of the episodes evaluated that manuka honey is infact a scam and that the Australians barely produce enough to export let alone being able to supple the HUGE global demand. The USA and UK rarely investigate labels and fine them which meant many companies are mislabelling average honey for manuka for the mark up profits. Its better to get local sourced honey as it reduces hay fever risks with local pollen being used.
10 days ago, I started getting spoonful of organic honey (Cytinus) right before bed on daily basis to get rid of my frequent sore throat. Guess what happened, my sore throat is gone and i've noticed that my teeth are much whiter and shining, my breath has been also so clean.
This is a great video! I've been dealing with toothpain then doin the salt water and cloves and it helped with the pain and it's not swelling. I also been doing oil pulling sometimes in the morning. I've been trying to hold off to see the dentist until after Christmas.
Clean underneath the gumline of each and every tooth front and back. Oil pulling. A supplement of cod liver oil and butter milk oil. Just these 3 things alone will tremendously improve the health of your teeth and of course everything the doctor mentioned helps as well.👍

I have started taking a lot of vitamins and I have been taking Vitamin K and Vitamin D. Also, I bought the yogurt you talked about, which has really helped!! My cavity on my wisdom tooth is like nonexistent, and I am staying away from grains until it is completely gone. I think I will start oil pulling too! THank youuuuu
Listen to your body. Sounds like you believe the cavity on your wisdom tooth will miraculously disappear. Have you considered having the tooth removed? I have seen so many patients wait until they develop a massive infection after they were informed that they have a cavity. Good hygiene is important but once a dental caries penetrates into the dentin hygiene and diet will only slow the process not cure it. I wish you well.
I've had dentist tell me I have a cavity and at that point I usually quit going to them. The last dentist told me I had a cavity and I never went back and that was 10 years ago and I have no pain. I don't do any of the things Dr Axe talks about but I do brush regularly.
Most cavities are initially painless. When they become painful they are usually large and the pulp of the tooth can be irreversibly effected. I hope you have been to a dentist more recently to get an exam. I saw a patient last week that had not been to a dentist in 8 years. He claimed to be "the picture of health". I found 8 very large cavities and only 2 of them were causing him "sensitivity". I feel like asking him to get a second opinion. Agave nectar and dried fruits seem to be related to the cavity formation. He also does not clean in between his teeth with any method.
Edward Dergosits my cavity on my wisdom tooth is pretty small and it is still there. I was thinking of just getting my impacted wisdom tooth removed, which is not the one with the annoying cavity. I've started taking yogurt, and listerine but it still won't go away.i might just get it filled if it still decides to stay
Thanks for the video.What you say really works - eliminating refined sugars and adding the things you mentioned to nutrition. I heard some recommendations to try coconut oil pulling and it was counterproductive for me - caused a gum inflammation in between the teeth. I used high quality extra virgin coconut oil. I suppose oil pulling should not be recommended to all people, only to those who have no problems with their mouth, as a preventative measure.
***** Thank you. I got tested for allergens including nuts and coconuts too. I am not allergic to them. I have some cavities which i am currently treating at the dental clinic. The reason for my inflammation may be that coconut oil does not have enough antiseptic properties, so it just brings the bacteria to different places of the mouth. I heard some ayurvedic recommendations for dental problems to use triphala mouthwash first, and after that do the oil pulling. They say that triphala mouthwash is a natural antiseptic. Thank you for the wonderful videos, they are REALLY very helpful.
yes even i too had a gum boil when I started doing oil pulling with coconut oil but I continued doing it besides the pain and applied a paste made from neem tablet over the gum boil ,slowly it has reduced in size ,oil pulling helps me get rid of pain and infection in my gums ,my acne have gone , my gums stopped bleeding,i feel fresh all the time.....worst thing is i am allergic to injection xylocain and antibiotics,my dentist feels helpless and is unable to treat me at all
I would love to see some randomised controlled trials which stand up to methodological scrutiny which actually support this healing of cavities through nutrition.
The thing is, any dentist will tell you that incipient/early caries or cavities as they are commonly know will re-mineralize if you change your diet and stop snacking. This isn't some naturopath secret that your real dentist probably hasn't already told you many times. The pH levels of your saliva will remain above the level that enamels dissolves at for longer periods if you aren't snacking all day. Also without an easy sugar source for bacteria to break down they create less acid. So that's why sweets aren't the best thing on a regular basis. No dentist, big pharma or toothpaste company is telling you this isn't true or is trying to trick you. Dentist are taught in school the best treatment is prevention, don't touch a tooth with a bur/drill unless you absolutely have to. Decay that is past the enamel layer and into the dentin is decay that will only very rarely become arrested. Once past the enamel layer even in the rare event that the decay process stops or becomes arrested you will still have a hole in your tooth that is at higher risk or being a food trap and decaying even further. This is because the ameloblasts that make enamel cease to exist once enamel is initially formed. This formation of enamel is complete before the tooth ever erupts into the oral cavity. You can re-mineralize existing enamel structure that has early decay, in a relatively unorganized calcium phosphate structure compared to the way ameloblasts laid down the enamel rods in the first place as the enamel was forming, but once those enamel rods are completely gone from decay that has reached the dentin you cant get them back. In that case the dentist is liable to be sued for malpractice if you come to him for an exam and he ignores the problem or doesn't at least inform the patient that they have a cavity that needs to be addressed. You can pack all the natural herbs in a cavity you want but it will not fix the problem. If natural remedies are bactericidal or bacteriostatic it might help delay the progress of the cavity or if you are lucky it might arrest it but that's it you still will have a hole in your tooth. A filling is the best choice. Is it a perfect option? No way, but its the best option a dentist has for reliable control of the decay process when it has gone past the point of no return. Again, any dentist will tell you there is nothing like your own enamel but a filling will at least remove decayed tooth structure and has the ability to micro mechanically bond to dentin and enamel and seal out any more bacteria from continuing the decay process.
I would appreciate if anyone feels that miso every day is particularly helpful as a probiotic, i spread a teaspoon on something and eat it. i don't bother with miso soup anymore, just spread the teaspoon on broccoli or something, thanks, and thanks, Dr. Axe, you're so dedicated, been listening to you on summits past two or three years. i like the miso cuz it's so convenient, i just don't wanna bother making sauerkraut anymore, probably because i always let it go too long to ferment, likewise kumbucha didn't take properly....the miso is so simple.
Seeing as half the world's population are supposed to have toxoplasmosis, isn't it better to avoid goat related dairy products? Also, a dentist told me that raw veg are best for teeth, for grinding them into shape as well as nutritionally. He said to avoid processed food, particularly processed carbohydrate as it would stick to the enamel. And the most important thing I have learnt is to avoid fluoride as it blocks remineralisation. Calcium, phosphorous and vitamin d3, naturally sourced only, for bone and teeth laying- but again, fluoride blocks calcium ion channels, so fluoride-free toothpaste, and not drinking fluoridated water etc, are important. Must look to see if Dr. Axe talks about fluoride online... PS. I love the feeling of real organic kale on my teeth!
Depends on how big the cavity is exactly and what you are doing to address the issue. Generally speaking if you catch it early and is still small, the better your chances are for the cavity to heal. I use a great product called Eucellus that heals small cavities and keeps new ones from forming by directly building enamel and nourishing the mouth. Check it out, I think you might be impressed!
Its not well informed. A cavity can't heal. Cavity means a whole in the enamel that has reached the dentin. And it can't heal. You can only stop an incipient cavity (not yet thru the enamel) from getting worse by mineralization.
I read a study comparing sparkling water (with no sugar) to sugar water (with no carbonation). The sugar water (with no carbonation) caused 8x the amount of tooth decay!
Are you sure you're a health professional? The dentistry I work at says that once a cavity is formed it can't be reversed. You can prevent it from becoming worse by brushing and getting regular cleans but will eventually need a small filling.
The guy is not a dentist. This video is basically an advertisement for overpriced products and reading the comments suggests that people will believe anybody in a video. Once something becomes a cavity there is no fix other than going to the dentist.

I have dates on the many photographs posted to my website of my own teeth healing. Some heal more quickly than others, and they all seem to heal at their own pace and in their own way. My biggest one, for example, made an ENORMOUS amount of progress in only five weeks whereas a much smaller one is nearing complete at about four months.
I stumbled across this link by chance and it left me intrigued. I already knew enough about teeth to understand that the title would be misleading - you don't treat cavities naturally you can only take natural approach to prevent them. However, this gives me much better idea of the American dream concept and what people like to hear and pay for. If I study at The University of Kentucky I won't become a doctor. But If I certify as a chiropractic I can call myself as a kind of a doctor. From the series Two and a Half Man I understand that the audience can be too judgmental and not receptive to my medical advices. However, If I take 23 lectures and all six subsequent practice modules I can get certified as a Functional medicine doctor who can be saying that honey especially Manuka honey is perfectly fine for your teeth. Not because it was unnatural for people of old to eat honey and fruits all year long but because I put something new into the mix and of course because I am a batma.. ehm doctor. Authority can be amazing as Milgram experiment has shown. Almost 2M subscribers and 22K upvotes means that there is definitely some great and helpful content and I picked the quality of the sales pitch. Many doctors I know have their hands literally inside people all day long and don't use their remaining strength that's left to post videos on youtube or write books when they're still young. Their impact is therefore local (if any) but in my experience people already know what is right and wrong they are only unable or more often unwilling to resist the consumer society based on people's addictions.
I got rid of 6 cavities 😅. I thought I was in the twilight zone when I went to the dentist, and they told me I had none 6 months after telling me I had some. I'm 34 with no cavities 😁 now. It is possible.
Be careful with apple cider vinegar. I didnt dilute it enough for 3 or 4 days and i feel some light stinging around my gums/teeth. It is very acidic so make sureyou water i down a lot
I have a consulting service (see my website) and have documented with many photographs the healing of my own cavities. Much progress has been made in four months.
Great, great info, Dr. Axe...every time I watch your video, I gain tremendous insight, that I am excited to share...thank you so much. This information is very much needed today. My family grew up on a lot of the home grown foods, and I can appreciate this great information. Question: Could you recommend natural remedy for Crohn 's disease?
If i eat nutricious stuff without eating grains, and eat grains many hours later, would this be helpful for absorbing nutrients? Because my gut will have no phytic acid when it tries to absorb the nutrients... it will get the phytic acid much later. Or does the phytic acid stay in gut for more than 24 hours, so there is no point in doing this.
I had a cavity developing recently, causing tooth sensitivity to about everything I ate. One night, I thought to put Sensodine Intensive Enamel Repair toothpaste on my teeth before I went to sleep, and I slept with it on my teeth. I didn't swallow it, but I didn't rinse it out of my mouth either. I noticed improvement the next couple of days. I would put it on my teeth multiple times a night, when I had to use the bathroom. I didn't do this many times, and I wasn't consistent, as I forgot some nights, but I did this for maybe a week. I don't feel pain in that tooth anymore when I eat the things that were causing pain. Disclaimer: Don't do this too many times, or you risk ostiofluorosis, which is basically ostioporosis caused by excessive fluoride intake.

Hello Dr. Axe. I don't have severe cavity that are harming me. There are like 2 or 3 on my back and side teeth. Though I've been brushing and flossing each day to maintain my teeth perfectly. I'm just curious that what certain food I should eat that would be crucible for my cavities?
Has anybody heard of brushing teeth with probiotic powder as opposed to using comercial toothpaste? This has been suggested to me and I would like to know more facts before proceding. Thank you. I am getting older, and though I take excellent care of my teeth via brushing and flossing, I still have ended up with slightly receding of my gums in some areas and severe pain. Sensadine toothpaste is what my dentist put me on, but it's slow to help. I like the diet suggestions. Thanks for the video.
The phytic acid is not killed. Phytic acid is the grain's protection and this protection transforms when germination starts and germination starts after about 12 hours in water.
Thank you so much for the very helpful tips!~! I have a few cavities and absolutely hate the idea of getting fillings, so again, thank you for the advice it'll be a great help to me!
Definitely make sure you are getting vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous. My dentist said that my magnesium and phosphorous deficiencies are contributing to my tooth decay. I'm still looking for a magnesium and phosphorous supplement (if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know).

from my understanding phytic acid found in grains tends to already be bound to minerals, so they block some nutrients absorption but they dont leech minerals from your body. so why stop eating it ? Just make sure you're getting the miners you need to remineralize your teeth from elsewhere
They leach minerals. Plus, you’re eating bread and other anti Nutrients with almost every meal. What happens when you get 90% less minerals in your diet. Even more than 90% since most diets don’t have many to begin with. You’re screwed. Much worse than sugar. If you don’t eat whole wheat bread or whole wheat seed bread!! You’re done. Or grainy snacks/cereals. Those people get the most cavities Whole wheat seed bread gave me many cavities during a period of time where I brushed and flossed every single day, multiple times a day
Someone mentioned to me that people with type O blood shouldnt consume sour kraut, garbanzo beans/ legumes...i found that interesting because i like them both.
Tried it. It worked. Went to dentist 2 months ago. 5 cavities. 2 quite progressed and 3 not so bad but doc wanted to fill them
Swished with coconut oil faithfully each night for 2 months and drank 4 to 8 oz of goat milk keifer. When i went in for my appt, 1 cavity was completely healed, the other 2 were notably better. She put them on the watch list. So 3 out of 5 healed and healing. Thanks Dr. Axe!

You are Fabulous Dr. Axe and so needed. There are so many "Professionals" who just want con people out of their money....I took one of my daughters for a check up when she was about 16. The dentist told her she needed a bunch of work done.
I was very skeptical.
I contacted a friend who worked in a dental office. She said that what my daughter was told is common for elderly people, and she was highly skeptical that it was true. So I took my daughter to the dentist my friend works for, and she only needed a Wisdom tooth extraction. The first Dentist was totally trying to con a young, trusting person.
This happened to me and my friend. I think it might be quite common.
I'm 33 have only had one baby cavity. What works for me is going to the dentist twice annually. Brushing my teeth twice daily, flossing at night, on most nights and then always, always rinsing with a solution of 3/4 hydrogen peroxide and 1/4 water for a full minute, before bed. The small traces of hydrogen peroxide that remain after you spit it out, will continue to eat the sugar acids and bacteria from you teeth and gums.
Using a product like Closys or Therabreath would be better (both have diluted chlorine dioxide). Hydrogen peroxide can be harsh to the gums and teeth.
Also, fluoride, or mineral based, toothpaste shouldn't be rinsed off as it works optimally if it is left on the teeth. I wish I understood this as a kid ,it would have saved me from getting several cavities.
@@Magnulus76 no fluoride should not be left unrinsed in the mouth. In fact fluoride should not be used at all under any circumstances, it’s a highly toxic cancer causing substance.
@@Magnulus76 flouridr is toxic and causes more cavities then preventing them☠
wow

I had a small cavity the dentist found during my annual ck up and cleaning. He said he would fix it next year when I came back. The next year when I went in I asked him about the cavity and he said it was gone. I eat healthy and a clean diet.
What do you eat?
Hi how you removed your cavity please help us
@@priyasehdev685 Other than a whole food diet, oil pulling with coconut oil helps to reverse cavities.
@@priyasehdev685stop sugar, Please if you can trust me don't eat sugar, hold on high processed carboidrates, and get sun light
lack of sun makes your entire health colapse, and teeth suffers first
How does a cavity disappear from eating healthy?
I'm so glad I grew up on a farm in the 80's, never a broken bone or rotted tooth simply because of proper and self grown nutrition. We ate Eggs, grass fed beef, open range chickens and vegetables we grew. All cooked in either butter, Lard or Tallow, vegetable oils were for starting fires or lubing our sharpening stones we never ingested that poison.
I don't know if your information are correct or not but I know for sure as I was an eye witness of my 2 cousins complete healing of their tooth cavities. At the age of 10 they had both two holes in almost each tooth. They even inserted a toothpick from one side to another laughing about it. The cause was luck of calcium and other ingredients due to extreme poverty. After one year of quality food (meat and milk) all of the holes were closed. You can say their teeth regrowth. Never had a problem with their teeth since then.
They probably forgot to tell you that their teeth were filled by the doctor
Its not well informed. A cavity can't heal. Cavity means a whole in the enamel that has reached the dentin. And it can't heal. You can only stop an incipient cavity (not yet thru the enamel) from getting worse by mineralization.
@@JS-br7bo just like wounds in any other part of the body
Please tell me clearly what did your cousins exactly do that time.....I will also do that....I believe that you are not lying.... please help me and tell exactly what did they do that time.....I want to do that please help....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@chabbidasgupta3280 I also believe that vitamin D from the sun played a very important role since my cousins they live by the sea. The main thing is that the holes were white meaning it wasn't because of tooth decay (black hole) but of luck of calcium since they never drink milk or eat dairy and meat wasn't an option since the age of 5. They even boost their high very quickly by the age of 14 by just eating dairy and meat, playing all day long at the beach.
finally, a video without a computer voice.
Since I run from a dentist, this was great info for me.

Great advice. I take vitamin k2, vitamin D, drink raw cow's milk, avoid wheat and sugar, brush with fluoride free toothpaste, and avoid fluoride water. I haven't needed the dentist in over two years.
I fully agree I used to have a cavity and I stopped drinking soda 5 years ago I stopped getting cavities I started brushing my teeth twice or three times a day and flossing once every other day
you need vitamin A and vitamin C too. I'm pretty sure zinc is also needed to replace bone as well. Thanks for the post
Yes. 2x more vitamin a receptors then vitamin d.
Raw liver
Also calcium
@@lisajudkins9859 Vitamin K2 needs to accompany calcium or else it will not get delivered to bones and teeth efficiently.
chlorophyll, cod liver oil and spirulina helped me reduce decay.
Thanks I have chlorophyll. Stopped using it due taste but could make smoothees with it I guess. Just started on fermented cod liver oil pills. Will have to check out Spirolina.

This works. I was into eating whole wheat and oatmeal for years. I thought it was good for you. My teeth and gums were in terrible shape. One dentist want to pull my all my back teeth out. I already had one tooth taken out 6 six years. After that tooth was pulled, I never wanted another tooth pulled. I found a book by Ramiel Nagel, who says the same stuff he is saying. I started making my own sourdough bread. Gave up nuts, whole wheat, oatmeal and beans. My teeth and gums are great shape. No more worries about my teeth anymore. Why isn't this phytic acid thing talked about in our regular mainstream news? Is it because of corporations or industries that fear people will give up on their products?

Well, the most important recommendation is missing, which is simply brushing your teeth every single time you have a meal, and use dental floss at least once a day. I brush my teeth four times a day and it's been years since I don't have any dental issues.
With what do you brush
Three things to mention. Vit K affects blood thinning medication unless taken regularly and the warfarin dose adjusted accordingly by professionals. Glutathione helps the liver detox and helps the body with the poisons in our system from tooth fillings. Thirdly, charcoal tablets clear poisons from the system but also clears all medication out too so be careful. Chewing it at first is heavily black but is known to improve the white colour of teeth without causing damage.
You’re talking about Vit K1. He’s talking about Vit K2.
@@bumbles3304 yes Vit K1 is imperative for absorbing other nutrients.
Fix your diet and get off the meds. You can see that the biggest portion of this video is cut out grains and sugars and eat high fat meat and avocados. Every part of our body is a window into our diet. While some things are are weak spots and pop up as issues first, like teeth or joints, it all comes from what we put in our body. I tell people to have a garden and get chickens. The time out doors and eating a dozen or more eggs a week will help a ton. But cookies or skim milk are just bad for us.
Used to have no cavities, started to remove sugar from my diet for health reasons (including grains), got my first cavity a month later, so, great.
Celtic salt in diet and vit d3 needed.
Take Vitamin K2 + d3
Thank me later
Nicolas Apocryphos don’t eat grains at all, specifically oats. It doesn’t always happen overnight
After I decreased my sugar intake, I got a lot less cavities and my acne reduced a lot.
My Quran vit K3 is important as well
Well thanks a lot Dr. Axe because my broken tooth got worse and I got serious pain from an infection...
So I decided to take this information wholeheartedly and added crushed garlic to treat the area and stopped eating my precious chocolate matcha cake and the pain has almost subsided completely.
I got a little too complacent because my tooth felt better and was consuming coffee with lots of cream and sugar and ate lots of personal home made baked goods. After a about a week or so the pain came back so bad! I knew I had to do more to treat it so I took a few extra steps.
One particular night I decided to put a cotton ball with some clove essential oil on the tooth that was hurting and noticed the cotton ball was bloody. The pain did not go away immediately but after cutting back on sweets and coffee it's already doing much better.
As for the garlic application... Folks let me tell you... the active compound is so strong that they use it to treat drug resistant infections/bacteria in addition to the antibiotics that the infections tend to resist.
It also burns but the pain of the infection made the burn less noticeable. There also may be a better way to apply it to avoid that. I don't know.
Anyway, it's amazing that people dont "believe" this stuff works... Weird world we live in where you tell them something good and everyone acts like you're crazy despite the evidence. More so are the people who seem to WANT to wish ill health on you for spreading this information. Like you're doing something immoral? What? And what is that? This is about health and health is also about care. Where is the care in wanting others to suffer for this? Sadists?
Whatever. I'm glad the pain is subsiding because now I can think clearly again.
God bless.
I've started eating Kale, it has all the vitamins and nutrients mentioned here.
do you prepare it in any particular way? boiled, stir fried, baked, raw?
I usually mix a hand full in different dishes like salads, pasta salads, homemade sub sandwiches and tomato soups and or wild rice and chicken soup. So, I mostly eat it raw but I will warm it up in a soup. When I eat it raw I put a spice on it like pepper, lemon pepper, ginger, or curry powder to help digest it easily. I sauteed it with raw spinach, next I will try it on a homemade pizza and a souffle
i bet it's great on a sub. something different, more flavor than ordinary lettuce. i've only had it boiled. when i grow collards I TRY to grow kale alongside. unfortunately my chickens seem to like it a lot lol
@@ms.k3837 I just put some in my chicken soup tonight and it was yummy too. I also make it into a salad with goat cheese , sesame oil, cranberries and almonds. Took it to Xmas dinner, everyone loved it

Hi, I personally believe what you say, cavities heal, yet, for the sake of my mom, please put some before and after pictures of healed cavities and exact process to do so stepwise, length of time and exact treatment. My mom will believe it too. Thank you. Also, I am doing dry fasting and hope to heal my cavities this way.
Hey! It's been years, but just in case you see this, how did your dry fasting go for your cavity healing? I am midway through a water fast and plan to move on to dry fasting as well for two tiny cavities I have. Best!
I don't know how dry fasting would help, bc then your mouth would be dry, which causes problems too
I suffered from eczema. I still have mild to moderate gut issue. After studying your video religiously I learned so much & practiced. I consume bone broth, use coconut oil for everything, eat organic veggies, and prebiotic supplements daily. One thing I cannot consume that you mentioned in many video is kefier. I believe it's milk product & I cannot handle it although it is fermented.
Please take into consideration that Kefir has no lactose, so it shouldn´t be harmfuk for you, another option: look for water based Kefir which use no milk at all

It's 2017, yet people are still talking about how phytic acid "stops you from absorbing all the minerals" that you consume...

Is he still around now?
I don't avoid phytic acid (even though it is a concern with too much it potentially damaging) but am still healing my cavities--documented with many photographs on my website. Genetics also play a role in how strong and resistant we are to various stresses. Some, for example, may have been born with much enamel and can afford to lose a lot over lifetime without developing cavities.
Yes this happened to me!!😊 i had a cavity forming and went back for the filling and it was healed. I was oil pulling to whiten them didnt know it will heal it❤
How long did it take to heal cavity with oil pulling?
how long did it take
I'm so happy I saw this.Cause there is one small hole in my tooth so this really helps!!♡
Its not well informed. A cavity can't heal. Cavity means a whole in the enamel that has reached the dentin. And it can't heal. You can only stop an incipient cavity (not yet thru the enamel) from getting worse by mineralization.
@@JS-br7bo "small hole" meaning it has not yet reached the dentin layer
This is great advice on how to PREVENT cavities. A "cavity" is a hole in the tooth and once that happens, kefir and avocado do not help replace the missing enamel. If there is DEMINERALIZATION, all of your tips are great! Maybe you can make a video pointing out the difference between the beginning stages of tooth decay, and a true cavity?
Thank you for pointing this out!
This is so wrong you can absolutely remineralise you’re teeth
@@saffronsl You can't reverse a cavity, however.
@stationarywanderer7910 yes you can. I've had it happen. The enamel can harden over a hole in your tooth. You can also arrest the bacteria in the cavity and the cavity itself becomes hard
@@wildtrueliving That's not possible.
Heads up Dr.Axe, I know your from the USA but we have a channel 4 programme here called food unwrapped. They look at how different foods are made/processed/produced and where are they from. Their investigations in one of the episodes evaluated that manuka honey is infact a scam and that the Australians barely produce enough to export let alone being able to supple the HUGE global demand. The USA and UK rarely investigate labels and fine them which meant many companies are mislabelling average honey for manuka for the mark up profits. Its better to get local sourced honey as it reduces hay fever risks with local pollen being used.
10 days ago, I started getting spoonful of organic honey (Cytinus) right before bed on daily basis to get rid of my frequent sore throat. Guess what happened, my sore throat is gone and i've noticed that my teeth are much whiter and shining, my breath has been also so clean.
Honey is another form of sugar right?
This is a great video! I've been dealing with toothpain then doin the salt water and cloves and it helped with the pain and it's not swelling. I also been doing oil pulling sometimes in the morning. I've been trying to hold off to see the dentist until after Christmas.
Amber L how did it goes
Hey what happened to that tooth?
Clean underneath the gumline of each and every tooth front and back. Oil pulling. A supplement of cod liver oil and butter milk oil. Just these 3 things alone will tremendously improve the health of your teeth and of course everything the doctor mentioned helps as well.👍

I developed my own protocol (Dr. Axe's advice is excellent) for healing my cavities and have posted much photographic evidence to my website.
I have started taking a lot of vitamins and I have been taking Vitamin K and Vitamin D. Also, I bought the yogurt you talked about, which has really helped!! My cavity on my wisdom tooth is like nonexistent, and I am staying away from grains until it is completely gone. I think I will start oil pulling too! THank youuuuu
Listen to your body. Sounds like you believe the cavity on your wisdom tooth will miraculously disappear. Have you considered having the tooth removed? I have seen so many patients wait until they develop a massive infection after they were informed that they have a cavity. Good hygiene is important but once a dental caries penetrates into the dentin hygiene and diet will only slow the process not cure it. I wish you well.
I've had dentist tell me I have a cavity and at that point I usually quit going to them. The last dentist told me I had a cavity and I never went back and that was 10 years ago and I have no pain. I don't do any of the things Dr Axe talks about but I do brush regularly.
Most cavities are initially painless. When they become painful they are usually large and the pulp of the tooth can be irreversibly effected. I hope you have been to a dentist more recently to get an exam. I saw a patient last week that had not been to a dentist in 8 years. He claimed to be "the picture of health". I found 8 very large cavities and only 2 of them were causing him "sensitivity". I feel like asking him to get a second opinion. Agave nectar and dried fruits seem to be related to the cavity formation. He also does not clean in between his teeth with any method.
Edward Dergosits my cavity on my wisdom tooth is pretty small and it is still there. I was thinking of just getting my impacted wisdom tooth removed, which is not the one with the annoying cavity. I've started taking yogurt, and listerine but it still won't go away.i might just get it filled if it still decides to stay

I am not gonna lie it is gonna be hard to cut out the soda but I have done it before. I can ween myself off of soda again.
Thanks for the video.What you say really works - eliminating refined sugars and adding the things you mentioned to nutrition.
I heard some recommendations to try coconut oil pulling and it was counterproductive for me - caused a gum inflammation in between the teeth. I used high quality extra virgin coconut oil. I suppose oil pulling should not be recommended to all people, only to those who have no problems with their mouth, as a preventative measure.
Amanda Krueger You might want to get tested for coconut allergy. If you are sensitive to coconut oil, you should avoid it and consult your physician.
***** Thank you. I got tested for allergens including nuts and coconuts too. I am not allergic to them. I have some cavities which i am currently treating at the dental clinic. The reason for my inflammation may be that coconut oil does not have enough antiseptic properties, so it just brings the bacteria to different places of the mouth.
I heard some ayurvedic recommendations for dental problems to use triphala mouthwash first, and after that do the oil pulling. They say that triphala mouthwash is a natural antiseptic.
Thank you for the wonderful videos, they are REALLY very helpful.
@Amanda if coconut oil doesn’t work, try sesame seed oil for oil pulling. Consult Ayurvedic doctor
@@drjoshaxe Coconut oil is commonly known to irritate skin and tissues
yes even i too had a gum boil when I started doing oil pulling with coconut oil but I continued doing it besides the pain and applied a paste made from neem tablet over the gum boil ,slowly it has reduced in size ,oil pulling helps me get rid of pain and infection in my gums ,my acne have gone , my gums stopped bleeding,i feel fresh all the time.....worst thing is i am allergic to injection xylocain and antibiotics,my dentist feels helpless and is unable to treat me at all
I would love to see some randomised controlled trials which stand up to methodological scrutiny which actually support this healing of cavities through nutrition.
They already have tons of randomized control trials on this. Search pubmed.
Who gonna finance them? Big pharma? Dentist's or toothpaste manufacturers? LOL)))
The thing is, any dentist will tell you that incipient/early caries or cavities as they are commonly know will re-mineralize if you change your diet and stop snacking. This isn't some naturopath secret that your real dentist probably hasn't already told you many times. The pH levels of your saliva will remain above the level that enamels dissolves at for longer periods if you aren't snacking all day. Also without an easy sugar source for bacteria to break down they create less acid. So that's why sweets aren't the best thing on a regular basis. No dentist, big pharma or toothpaste company is telling you this isn't true or is trying to trick you. Dentist are taught in school the best treatment is prevention, don't touch a tooth with a bur/drill unless you absolutely have to. Decay that is past the enamel layer and into the dentin is decay that will only very rarely become arrested. Once past the enamel layer even in the rare event that the decay process stops or becomes arrested you will still have a hole in your tooth that is at higher risk or being a food trap and decaying even further. This is because the ameloblasts that make enamel cease to exist once enamel is initially formed. This formation of enamel is complete before the tooth ever erupts into the oral cavity. You can re-mineralize existing enamel structure that has early decay, in a relatively unorganized calcium phosphate structure compared to the way ameloblasts laid down the enamel rods in the first place as the enamel was forming, but once those enamel rods are completely gone from decay that has reached the dentin you cant get them back. In that case the dentist is liable to be sued for malpractice if you come to him for an exam and he ignores the problem or doesn't at least inform the patient that they have a cavity that needs to be addressed. You can pack all the natural herbs in a cavity you want but it will not fix the problem. If natural remedies are bactericidal or bacteriostatic it might help delay the progress of the cavity or if you are lucky it might arrest it but that's it you still will have a hole in your tooth. A filling is the best choice. Is it a perfect option? No way, but its the best option a dentist has for reliable control of the decay process when it has gone past the point of no return. Again, any dentist will tell you there is nothing like your own enamel but a filling will at least remove decayed tooth structure and has the ability to micro mechanically bond to dentin and enamel and seal out any more bacteria from continuing the decay process.
I would appreciate if anyone feels that miso every day is particularly helpful as a probiotic, i spread a teaspoon on something and eat it. i don't bother with miso soup anymore, just spread the teaspoon on broccoli or something, thanks, and thanks, Dr. Axe, you're so dedicated, been listening to you on summits past two or three years.
i like the miso cuz it's so convenient, i just don't wanna bother making sauerkraut anymore, probably because i always let it go too long to ferment, likewise kumbucha didn't take properly....the miso is so simple.

Wow and I’m eating oatmeal thinking it healthy but no it gets me cavities!!!!!
Oatmeal is one of the worst for cavities, but I have a product recommendation (part of consulting) that can make it a much safer food.
Seeing as half the world's population are supposed to have toxoplasmosis, isn't it better to avoid goat related dairy products? Also, a dentist told me that raw veg are best for teeth, for grinding them into shape as well as nutritionally. He said to avoid processed food, particularly processed carbohydrate as it would stick to the enamel. And the most important thing I have learnt is to avoid fluoride as it blocks remineralisation. Calcium, phosphorous and vitamin d3, naturally sourced only, for bone and teeth laying- but again, fluoride blocks calcium ion channels, so fluoride-free toothpaste, and not drinking fluoridated water etc, are important. Must look to see if Dr. Axe talks about fluoride online... PS. I love the feeling of real organic kale on my teeth!
Finally a doctor who get's it!
I'm fast becoming a fan Dr.Axe,enjoy you videos.
Peace
Likewise
How long does it take to heal the initial stages of a cavity? How about a meduium sizes cavity? 2 months? Great video. Thank you
Depends on how big the cavity is exactly and what you are doing to address the issue. Generally speaking if you catch it early and is still small, the better your chances are for the cavity to heal. I use a great product called Eucellus that heals small cavities and keeps new ones from forming by directly building enamel and nourishing the mouth. Check it out, I think you might be impressed!
That product is not FDA approved and you'd be a test dummy trying it. That's probably why I can't find a real review on it.
@@JonTBH. I don't think too many toothpaste products are approved by the FDA and there are tons out there

@JS 2022. Not really, depending on the size of the cavity. You can have a small cavity that hasn't reached the dentin

tks Dr Axe i always enjoy your thorough presentations. God bless you

Any vitamins you can recommend?
Thanks for improving my life Dr. Axe!
Are you sure you're a health professional? The dentistry I work at says that once a cavity is formed it can't be reversed. You can prevent it from becoming worse by brushing and getting regular cleans but will eventually need a small filling.
He’s a chiropractor let’s put it that way.
The guy is not a dentist. This video is basically an advertisement for overpriced products and reading the comments suggests that people will believe anybody in a video. Once something becomes a cavity there is no fix other than going to the dentist.
Can you make a video for hair health? or link to it if you've already done one?
A lot of this is also mentioned in Ramien Nagel's book about curing teeth problems naturally. A great book!
Thanks! I'm gonna try this out. My tooth has been killing me for so long :(
Hey. How’d it go with your tooth? Did it make it? Or did you have to get it pulled?
Warm water and Celtic salt mouth rinse.❤
I just have 1 question how long it takes to heal cavities naturally.
4 to 6 mos
Its not well informed. A cavity can't heal. Cavity means a whole in the enamel that has reached the dentin. And it can't heal. You can only stop an incipient cavity (not yet thru the enamel) from getting worse by mineralization.
It takes forever. As in. Cavities can't heal. Enamel doesn't regrow. A cavity if not fixed only gets worse.
I have dates on the many photographs posted to my website of my own teeth healing. Some heal more quickly than others, and they all seem to heal at their own pace and in their own way. My biggest one, for example, made an ENORMOUS amount of progress in only five weeks whereas a much smaller one is nearing complete at about four months.
I stumbled across this link by chance and it left me intrigued. I already knew enough about teeth to understand that the title would be misleading - you don't treat cavities naturally you can only take natural approach to prevent them. However, this gives me much better idea of the American dream concept and what people like to hear and pay for. If I study at The University of Kentucky I won't become a doctor. But If I certify as a chiropractic I can call myself as a kind of a doctor. From the series Two and a Half Man I understand that the audience can be too judgmental and not receptive to my medical advices. However, If I take 23 lectures and all six subsequent practice modules I can get certified as a Functional medicine doctor who can be saying that honey especially Manuka honey is perfectly fine for your teeth. Not because it was unnatural for people of old to eat honey and fruits all year long but because I put something new into the mix and of course because I am a batma.. ehm doctor. Authority can be amazing as Milgram experiment has shown. Almost 2M subscribers and 22K upvotes means that there is definitely some great and helpful content and I picked the quality of the sales pitch. Many doctors I know have their hands literally inside people all day long and don't use their remaining strength that's left to post videos on youtube or write books when they're still young. Their impact is therefore local (if any) but in my experience people already know what is right and wrong they are only unable or more often unwilling to resist the consumer society based on people's addictions.
I got rid of 6 cavities 😅. I thought I was in the twilight zone when I went to the dentist, and they told me I had none 6 months after telling me I had some. I'm 34 with no cavities 😁 now. It is possible.
how did you do it?
Uncle harry's toothpaste
What do you do if you a cavity.? Preventing them is great.
Be careful with apple cider vinegar. I didnt dilute it enough for 3 or 4 days and i feel some light stinging around my gums/teeth. It is very acidic so make sureyou water i down a lot
Awesome thank you very much. How long will you start seeing results.?
Would taking calcium supplements help speed up the healing process?
I have a consulting service (see my website) and have documented with many photographs the healing of my own cavities. Much progress has been made in four months.

Car H question is when? Watch your lifestyle
no joke, I had quite a slack tooth and started eating about 3red apples a day and my teeth are solid as a rock
Great, great info, Dr. Axe...every time I watch your video, I gain tremendous insight, that I am excited to share...thank you so much. This information is very much needed today. My family grew up on a lot of the home grown foods, and I can appreciate this great information.
Question: Could you recommend natural remedy for Crohn 's disease?
I wouldn't have thought that Goat's milk kefir can help! I'm excited to try this. These were all great suggestions.
If i eat nutricious stuff without eating grains, and eat grains many hours later, would this be helpful for absorbing nutrients? Because my gut will have no phytic acid when it tries to absorb the nutrients... it will get the phytic acid much later. Or does the phytic acid stay in gut for more than 24 hours, so there is no point in doing this.
I had a cavity developing recently, causing tooth sensitivity to about everything I ate. One night, I thought to put Sensodine Intensive Enamel Repair toothpaste on my teeth before I went to sleep, and I slept with it on my teeth. I didn't swallow it, but I didn't rinse it out of my mouth either. I noticed improvement the next couple of days. I would put it on my teeth multiple times a night, when I had to use the bathroom. I didn't do this many times, and I wasn't consistent, as I forgot some nights, but I did this for maybe a week. I don't feel pain in that tooth anymore when I eat the things that were causing pain.
Disclaimer: Don't do this too many times, or you risk ostiofluorosis, which is basically ostioporosis caused by excessive fluoride intake.
Its not well informed. A cavity can't heal. Cavity means a whole in the enamel that has reached the dentin. And it can't heal. You can only stop an incipient cavity (not yet thru the enamel) from getting worse by mineralization.
Hello Dr. Axe. I don't have severe cavity that are harming me. There are like 2 or 3 on my back and side teeth. Though I've been brushing and flossing each day to maintain my teeth perfectly. I'm just curious that what certain food I should eat that would be crucible for my cavities?
Cavities don't heal. You need to see a dentist
Thanks much for your helpful explanations
Has anybody heard of brushing teeth with probiotic powder as opposed to using comercial toothpaste? This has been suggested to me and I would like to know more facts before proceding. Thank you. I am getting older, and though I take excellent care of my teeth via brushing and flossing, I still have ended up with slightly receding of my gums in some areas and severe pain. Sensadine toothpaste is what my dentist put me on, but it's slow to help. I like the diet suggestions. Thanks for the video.
The phytic acid is not killed. Phytic acid is the grain's protection and this protection transforms when germination starts and germination starts after about 12 hours in water.
Thank you so much for the very helpful tips!~! I have a few cavities and absolutely hate the idea of getting fillings, so again, thank you for the advice it'll be a great help to me!
Hello, did you cure all your cavities naturally 2 years after seeing this video?

What would be the best multi vitamin that had the most vitamins and minerals in them?
Definitely make sure you are getting vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous. My dentist said that my magnesium and phosphorous deficiencies are contributing to my tooth decay. I'm still looking for a magnesium and phosphorous supplement (if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know).
I have a consulting business based upon what I've learned through the healing of my own cavities. Many photographs are on my website. And I make many product recommendations.
I loved this. So simple and true. Thank you.

What should I eat for breakfast instead of oats?
Thank you Dr. Josh. Can you make a video on how to remove plaque from teeth naturally, please. Thanks.
Fit n Fab Thanks for your recommendation! Have you seen my article on Natural Treatment for Gum Disease? draxe.com/gum-disease-natural-cures-causes/

Do braces hurt? And do you need them for a slight over bite
Thank you doctor! You always have great information and present it in an interesting way.

Dr. Axe, your swift answer would be greatly appreciated. I know there are whole grains and refined grains; are both bath for your health?
from my understanding phytic acid found in grains tends to already be bound to minerals, so they block some nutrients absorption but they dont leech minerals from your body. so why stop eating it ? Just make sure you're getting the miners you need to remineralize your teeth from elsewhere
They leach minerals. Plus, you’re eating bread and other anti Nutrients with almost every meal. What happens when you get 90% less minerals in your diet. Even more than 90% since most diets don’t have many to begin with. You’re screwed. Much worse than sugar. If you don’t eat whole wheat bread or whole wheat seed bread!! You’re done. Or grainy snacks/cereals. Those people get the most cavities Whole wheat seed bread gave me many cavities during a period of time where I brushed and flossed every single day, multiple times a day
Someone mentioned to me that people with type O blood shouldnt consume sour kraut, garbanzo beans/ legumes...i found that interesting because i like them both.
i crave beans and Im O negative. weird
Hi Doctor Axe, can I ask how can you heal cavities with fillings?
Wtf
So what should we do to make our tooth better
