Nutritional Mouthwashes may be one way to stop cavity pain in an emergency

The number of posts about cavity cures and cavity treatments continues to rise. Controversy and skepticism surrounds the idea, but evidence continues to mount that cavities and the associated continued decay of teeth can be stopped with proper nutritional treatments.

One of the arguments is that cavities can not be cured with nutritional mouthwashes or anything at all. A filling for example does not cure a cavity, but it does stop the tooth from further decay. Nutritional mouthwashes, primarily mineral based, may just as well be able to prevent further decay and stop the pain as does a filling does. And one of the suspected reasons is that most Americans have mineral deficiencies that are directly affecting the natural rebuilding and remineralization process of their teeth.

Nutritional dentistry uses mineral intensive solutions with an oil base. These types of mouthwashes can offer a high PH, which reduces bacteria count, have a high mineral content that delivers needed minerals directly to where they are best absorbed, the mouth, and often contain necessary enzymes that will facilitate biochemical reactions that help remineralize the teeth and gums.

Nutritional dentistry also focuses on teeth grinding. People who grind their teeth, that is people under severe stress, often are more vulnerable to cavities and gum disease. In nutritional dentistry, stress relieving exercises are used that help reduce teeth grinding when awake and when asleep.

Nutritional dentistry often works best on people that make a dedicated effort to have a diet that is nutritionally optimized. On the other hand, those that have poor diets that are filled with sugar products and absent of nutritional foods, fruits, vegetables and Omega-3 rich foods, may not respond as well. Or may need to rinse with mineralized mouthwashes for longer periods of time.

Regardless, even if one has a great diet, stopping a severely decayed tooth from further decay and or rebuilding it with minerals such as to eliminate pain can take persistence. Reports indicate that pain can decrease quite rapidly with mineral washes, but it often persists to a lesser degree over a long period of time until it eventually goes away. It is suspected that the time to eliminate the pain  is proportional  to number of rinses per day, the length of time of the rinse and the severity of the decay.

Alternative Dentistry also known as Holistic Dentistry is still a new science and is for the most part not completely defined. One of the reasons is that it is not taught in universities or a standardized practice of the American Dental Association. 

Alternative Holistic Dentistry, what could be considered a branch of alternative dentistry is also for the most part undefined.  Alternative holistic dentistry, as defined here, aspires to the development of completely non-toxic, nutritional mouthwashes to heal cavities and resolve oral problems such as gingivitis and periodontal diseases.  Alternative holistic dentistry focuses on solutions to the cause of dental problems such as 

1. Mineral deficient diets
2. Bacterial imbalances in the mouth
3. Poor posture
4. Stress
5. Less than optimized dental hygiene procedures
6. Imbalanced Mouth PH

Alternative Holistic Dentistry, like traditional dentistry, focuses on preventive dentistry and providing painless, safe and non-invasive dental treatment procedures. In alternative dentistry there are no drills, needles, or surgical knives.  

In Alternative Holistic Dentistry the main treatment and preventive procedures are built on  a standardized list of minerals, vitamins and proteins and common sense life style habits.  Central to alternative dentistry is the use of mouthwashes that have high mineral and oil content. 

Proposed Procedures for Treatment of Cavities, Gingivitis, and Periodontal Disease

1. Daily and frequent mouthwash rinses with high mineral contents of silica, magnesium,           molybdenum with oil bases of coconut oil, rice bran oil and other oils
2. Brushing with high-performance Sonic brushes
3. Non-Sugar Diet
4. Drinking and rinsing with mineral water with a high mineral content on a daily basis
5. Posture strengthening exercises and jaw alignment exercises
6. Elimination of carrying backpacks on a daily basis
7. Balanced Diet with a high omega 3 to omega 6 ratio

Non-Toxic Elements of Alternative Holistic Dentistry

Another difference between alternative dentistry and traditional dentistry is that it  does not use chemicals and inorganic compounds that have any significant toxic levels. The most toxic chemical elements are the halogens. The means in true Alternative Holistic Dentistry you won’t find solutions or treatments that are based on 

Fluorine (Fluoride)

Chlorine (Chloride) 

Bromine (Bromide)

Fluoride has become more controversial over the years. Although it has been shown to protect against tooth decay, it is toxic and it is the most toxic of the halogens. Some advocate adding magnesium to the water supply instead of fluoride. And one reason is that magnesium is non-toxic. In fact, magnesium is a necessary nutrient in which many Americans are deficient in.
