This review is from: Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye: A Do-It-Yourself
Mouth Care System for Healthy, Clean Gums and Teeth (Paperback)
I picked up this book from the library yesterday. Read it cover
to cover and just finished it. Photocopied several pages and
took copious notes. I was first introduced to tooth
remineralization a few years ago by a lonely webpage which
talked about the chemistry of the teeth, how enamal is
continuously created, eaten away, and restored when your saliva
is in an alkaline state and you are breathing. I experimented
with sucking on magnesium tablets, calcium tablets, flouride
rinses and found my teeth rejuvinating very quickly. I even
managed to get a dental cary at the base of my gumline to go
from black to white in a matter of days as new enamel formed
over the old rot spot. The author of this book does such an
amazing job explaining the chemistry of teeth, analogizes the
enamel to the toughness an eggshell, and talks about the
dangerous practices people use on a regular basis thinking their
helping but are in fact HURTING their teeth. The program is
simple, cheap and very easy to do. As soon as I get to the
drugstore, I'll be picking up the things mentioned in the book,
and I've already ordered some xylitol products via amazon. I've
got some nasty tooth work ahead of me, and I'm going to try to
improve things to see if I can avoid the expensive procedures
they have in store for me. I'll let you know how it progresses.
