Hi everybody,
I can share some tips about healthy teeth..
It's been 5 years I've been eating a vegeterian diet.
I also used to brush my teeth with "Dentie", a japanese toothpaste made from eggplant and sea salt.
I realised after a while (after several months) that this natural toothpaste wasn't that effective..
I got back to regular toothpaste and felt a huge difference..(perfectly clean teeth, better protection against decay)
Now most important point:
no matter the product you use externally, your teeth and bones health depends mainly on your diet.
Eating a fruit is healthy in itself. But eating fruits too frequently keeps the mouth acidic, and this condition makes a favorable ground for bacteria to grow..
So best thing is watch out the intake of acid forming food that force the body to use minerals from bones and teeth in order to balance the acid and restore an alkaline state inside.
The most acid forming food are of course sugar (in any form, white/brown/honey/maple syrup/fruits...), animal and dairy products, chemicals/drugs, processed food in general.
Seaweed taken in small proportion regularly provide the body with minerals and help in compensating any mineral loss that is harmful to the teeth.
In general, try to include a good portion of green veggies (lettuce, raddish leaves, any dark green leaves). Those are alcaline forming food and contain many minerals.
Also chewing food very well (ideally until it becomes liquid) turns it into alkaline in the mouth and thus prevents digestive problems that create an acidic condition in the body.
Last thing: gargling with salt water after meals is a good habit to take.
.Love.
