Did you know your nutrition directly affects your smile’s health? This article by Amanda Box from Barton Publishing highlights beloved dentist Dr. Price’s mission to create a diet that prevents and treats cavities.
Dr. Price traveled around the world, examining multiple native tribes’ teeth. With his studies, he crafted a nutritional diet that prevented over 95% of cavities—even saw cavities heal themselves!
The Nutritional Diet
In this article, Dr. Price had the following recommendations:
- Eliminate processed foods such as white flour, sugar, and most grains.
- Replace hydrogenated oils with healthy ones such as extra virgin coconut oil
- Make homemade bone broth filled with minerals and gelatin
- Eat fermented foods
- Use raw dairy
- Increase intake of foods with K2 (cheese, butter, oil, and liver)
- Intake adequate amounts of vitamin D
Get the Right Toothpaste
Dr. Price also noted that the right toothpaste is crucial for a healthy smile. When you meander down the shopping aisles, be sure to avoid toothpastes with the following ingredients:
- Sodium lauryl sulfate
- Artificial sweeteners
These ingredients prevent your teeth from remineralization.
With these natural elements, it only makes sense to see a dentist in Seattle who approaches your oral health from a holistic paradigm. At Integrative Dentistry, Dr. Mitch Marder emphasizes natural dentistry to treat your mouth and body as one complete entity.
