_______________________________________________Oral health

I've healed many cavities, gum inflamation and infection in my
life, but I've also lost many teeth. I have big teeth which
got filling at a young age, these teeth seems really
hard to heal. I wish I could remove these filling.

I've had 1 root canal which became massively infected and
needed quite a serious intervention from the dentist. I will
never get another root canal in my life.

These are my notes, experiment and research so far.

RULE of THUMB for ORAL HYGENE

- Flossing is the most important activity
- Brushing with a non-fluoride paste (or no paste at all)
- Make sure your brush is clean from bacteria
- Remove processed sugar from diet
- Remove flours from diet
- Take Zinc and magnezium
- Practice pulling*
- Gum sweetened with Xytol help mineralize teeth
- Massaging the gums with clean finger will help
  keeping a healthy mouth and might indicate when
  there are inflamation / infection in the mouth.
- The body can heal the mouth as long as you are ready
  to make a change in your habits.
- I still go to the dentist, and they help me spot
  cavities. I just don't let them drill and fill my teeth
  anymore, I heal my cavities instead.

PULLING

- Pulling is the action of rincing your mouth
  with your own saliva.
- You can use coconut oil as a starter which help
  with saliva production but also cleans the mouth
  from bacteria and leave a good taste
- You can also use sea salt to help clean the mouth
  after the pulling.
- If you don't have any of that you can simply generate
  your own saliva and swish it around your mouth for an
  extended period of time (20 minutes)
- Some animals are known to do that for their own
  oral hygene.

SCHOOL of DENTISTRY

- There are 2 main school of dentistry
- Traditional and Biologic dentistry
- Traditional believe tooth can't heal, where
  you can eat as much sugar as you wanr, and
  fluoride helps you teeth.
- Biologic believes tooth can heal, sugar
  is always bad for your teeth and general health
  and that fluoride is not so good for you teeth.

TRADITIONAL TREATMENT

- Eat whatever you want
- Brush with fluoride to strengthen the teeth
- Cavity are irreversible
- Drill and fill the teeth to slow down cavities
- Drill and kill once the nerve is attacked
- Root canal / crown is the final step

BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT

- Look at your diet / change you diet for your teeth
- Use vitamins to help supplement the teeth healing
- Use ozone to clean the inside of the gums
- Use pulling and massaging with brushing and flossing
- Try to avoid filling / root canal.
- Look at the body as a whole.

FLUORIDE

- Floride does strengthen the teeth, but also strengten
  the deposit on the teeth. These two elements remove
  the ability of the tooth to heal.
- I haven't used floride for over 20 years now, when
  I go for a clean up at the dentist, the hygenist doesn't
  have anything to do, as nothing is stuck to my teeth.
- Fluoride also seems to have other negative health benefit,
  linked to mental capacity (neuro inhibitors).

SUGAR

- Sugar is bad for you oral health, not because it create
  acides in your mouth but because it inhibit the healing 'flow'
  of the teeth.
- So there is no way to eat tons of sugar and still have a
  healthy mouth.
- I have the impression the present dentistry school might be
  lobbyed to a certain degree by corporation profiting from sugar.
- Alchool is also bad for your teeth.

BRUSHING and FLOSSING

- Brushing and flossing is still really important
- Flossing is actually more importnat
- Brushing can be done without toothpaste
- The goal of toothpast would be to keep the bacteria off the brush
- Massaging the gum, with the brush but also with your finger
  is really important.

VITAMINS

- Teeth needs a lot of minreals to heal
- Eating sugar will prevent you to absorbe many type of vitamins
- Magnezium and zinc are really important
- Vitamin C is always good when dealing with healing

INFLAMATION

- The roots of teeth will get inflame once in a while when there
  has been too much preasure or a hit to the face
- Taking aspirin or tumeric will help reduce the inflamation
- Inflamation can transform in infection if not dealt with
- Do not use cold/ice on a tooth with inflamation, it will
  only make it worst
- Clove is also good to reduce inflamation

INFECTION

- Root canal will always create an infection
- Because there is no more nerve you won't feel the infection
- Infection might occure at the root of a tooth (even before
  the root canal)
- You can feel that infection when you massage your gum with your
  (clean) finger.
- Massaging will help the flow of blood which will help reduce the
  infection.
- I have found that strong antibiotic isn't the best to fix root
  infection.
- Using raw crush garlic as antibiotic is the best for tooth infection
- 2 cloves a day (morning and night) for 10 days seems to get rid
  of most infection.
- Replenish your stomach flora after this, use yougurt or pre/pro
  biotic, ferment and a diet without sugar or process flour for a
  few weeks.
- There are Lymph-nodes in the neck that might swell when you have
  an infection in your lower jaw.
- Massaging the lymph node will help clean them
- But you should follow with a treatment of raw garlic and Apple
  cider vinagre.

TEETH and OTHER PART OF THE BODY

- Infection of tooth can infect other organs
- A root canal on a mollar can infect the heart for example
- Root canal are alway a center of infectionn
- Headache, nerve ache, sinus infection can all be caused
  by tooth problems.
