... who went to see the dentist and I was pretty sure she was going to need work done on ...
I have a toddler who went to see the dentist and I was pretty sure she was going to need work done on her front teeth. They were chalky all over and yellow near the top. Sure enough the dentist recommended that the front 4 teeth be capped. I kind of freaked out because she would have to be sedated. I read this book. I had 2 months until her sedation appointment, so I thought I would get give it a month and if I saw some improvement I would approach the dentist. Within in 2 weeks her teeth were shiny instead of chalky. The outer 2 teeth look almost perfect. One front tooth is looking great. The other is still struggling, but the bottom part of the tooth is is white and shiny. Before I would have said the two front teeth were in the same state of decay, but now the left one is markedly better. The dentist is willing to work with me and X-ray her teeth every 6 weeks and see if we see improvement and sees no reason why we need immediate work done as long as we do not see them worsening. Yay! What I did: Took out all refined sugar from her diet. No candy or juice - except orange juice - fortified with vitamin a and d. I still let her have fruit, she eats mostly frozen mangos and bananas. Very little processed food (an occasional cracker or bowl of pasta) 1-2 cups of whole raw milk (I purée it with banana and freeze it and call it ice cream because she doesn't like milk that much) Bone broth chicken potato soup - I buy a rotisserie chicken from Costco each week. We eat all the chicken and then I take everything left over and boil it in my crock pot for 48 hours. I then make soup from the broth. I add all kinds of veggies and potatoes. She loves sipping the broth. I also sauté my veggies in virgin coconut oil. I brush her teeth 2x a day with coconut oil. At night she takes 5 ml of fermented cod liver oil. I know this sounds crazy, but she seems to like to cod liver oil. She just lays down and takes it. She even swishes it in her mouth sometimes and calls it yummy??! That all I have done and she no longer complains about her teeth hurting. I take her to the dentist for X-rays in two weeks. If I remember I will let you know what the dentist says. Crossing my fingers! Update ***** Took my daughter in for x -rays. They showed decay really badly just on the one tooth I was worried about. The others looked like they might be "arrested", meaning the decay was halted and he would feel comfortable waiting and watching on those teeth. The dentist was very surprised there was no decay on the back of the teeth. He was very willing to work with me on whatever I wanted to do, but recommended getting teeth fixed because of the danger of the cavities progressing and losing the teeth. I have her scheduled to have the teeth fixed at the end of April. I have been doing some research and am going to try eggshells (recommended 1 crushed eggshell a day. You boil them and dry them and then put them in a banana smoothie). I update this is I remember. Here's to better X-rays next time.
