We make our own toothpaste with coconut oil, baking soda and peppermint oil. The children love it.

Make sure you buy a pure clay from a company that has a certificate of analysis - there is alot of clays being sold with high levels of toxins, metals, contaminates etc A good company will have provide this info to you.

Here’s some info. about Clay for healing teeth decay. The calcium in Bentonite clay may help re-mineralize a tooth with mild decay. Fascinating!!

Oh and Bettina? Yes, absolutely, breastfeeding can rob you of minerals if you aren’t getting enough in your diet. Your body’s going to prioritize the baby’s health even if it has to steal from your own. This is why Dr. Price noted that traditional cultures offered special foods to pregnant and nursing mamas. They needed it. :)

I had not been able to take very good care of myself between pregnancy 1 and pregnancy 2 even though almost nine years elapsed between my children’s births so when child number two came along she really depleted me. I had inflammation problems during the pregnancy and huge weight gain afterward along with various other physical grievances. Finally I have some knowledge I can use to turn it around.

Mainstream toothpaste makers are now producing products touted as remineralizing teeth. I’ve seen them offered at the dentist’s office and I’ve also seen OTC stuff in the stores.

If they think it can be done, I bet it can be done.

Hi Cathy,
Re. Coconut Oil for cleaning teeth- I only tried that once, with everything else, but will get back to it. Sounds great with bicarb soda! My concoction is bicarb soda, himalayan crystal salt, a splash of hydrogen peroxide, & now adding Coconut oil.

Anita, thanks for that link about coconut oil. I visited it and learned something new and useful: using coconut oil for oil pulling. But after further researching the topic of oil pulling I read that sesame or sunflower oils are the best for oil pulling for some reason. I’m so excited about oil pulling now that I can’t wait to try it. Apparently, it helps pulling out mercury from the gums and tissues which is important for those who have amalgam filling. But also good for general detox and improves health in general.

Hi Cathy, are you trying to say that breastfeeding might have slown down the process in your case? The reason I’m asking this is because I’m wondering if extended breastfeeding can deplete calcium (and or other minerals?) in your body. I’m still breastfeeding my 19 months old and last month I experienced some pain in my right shin and also some lower abdominal cramps. Could that be related to breastfeeding?

MK
your welcome.
Some tips,not sure if these are above in Rami’s blog post. Don’t brush after food, always a bit before or well after. So the enamel can do its thing uninterrupted.
Avoid citrus or sour fruits while healing it can strip enamel.
For one week I’ve been brushing with coconut oil because I keep forgetting to buy some paste (I actually hate buying paste even the good one I’ve found, so I’m probably forgetting on purpose) and I find the oil great! Its weird, it even lathers up a little. I am going to experiment with some bi-carb, I don’t think it would be too abrasive together with the oil but we’ll see.
Also there is so much to gain eating this way, SO much, not just on teeth!
Anita how are you going with the coconut oil???
