Default Re: Easy Steps to Prevent Tooth Decay and Gum Disease

Besides oil pulling try to obtain pure, raw Palm Oil and rub or brush it onto the teeth and gum. I'm thinking carotene is one of the reasons it is very effective. I believe it helps restore the enamel among other benefits. You can get raw Palm Oil at an African grocery store, some Asian grocery stores and even some Whole Foods markets. It is a dark orange oil and mostly a solid at room temperature with some discoloration.

Also, my understanding is that "Fluoride toothpaste" actually inhibits calcium regrowth for about a 12 hour period. Hence brushing twice a day with Fluoride toothpaste actually prevents the teeth from self healing.
