How my Dental Problems Began

​I don't have health insurance and rarely go to the doctor. The times I've been, I've been unsatisfied with the care received as diagnoses have almost always been poor; so, I do research instead and use ​myself as a guinea pig.

I had so many other health and other problems capturing my attention over the last few years that I neglected my teeth and stopped eating the balanced diet that I used to (I wasn't eating junk food, just not the array that I should have been to maintain my health), and the cavities that had been stable began to grow rapidly and multiply.

I'd also made a couple of dietary changes in the last year that I think spurred the rapid growth and spread. And I was told years ago that enamel is not able to regrow over an area where it has been completely lost, so I felt that some of what I was experiencing (e.g., no or thin enamel near the gum line) had no solution.

​Additionally, it seemed to me years ago that my first cavity in adulthood was gotten from a dentist. She said several times during the cleaning that she was certain I did not have any cavities in the dentin-exposed grooves at the base of my molars and said that such ​grooves are common in people with bad bites involving bruxism (I am trying a nonsurgical method for attempting to correct a Class III open bite which is severe). About three days after that cleaning, one of those grooves turned black.

At that point, I developed a fear of dentists as I'd assumed she gave me a cavity by poking my teeth with a ​sharp tool or by transferring bacteria to my mouth. But now I know that brown and black cavities that are no longer sticky are called arrested cavities as they've already remineralized some and decay has ceased. Perhaps what the dentist was poking at was an arrested cavity that later turned black. But what I know is that decay came and went over the next few years (back and forth), and the cavities slowly grew and then spread. 

Then, about 10 years after that, I tried a sharp cleaning tool at home and accidentally poked two of my teeth that caused visible holes in my teeth a few days after the pokes. My diet and cleaning methods had kept them all relatively small and stable for years, but then stress and other health (e.g., tinea versicolor skin yeast that I fought nearly daily for years before finding a solution) and life problems (e.g., a drug dealing-or-stolen-goods-dealing neighbor) rose to the point of not having enough time in each day to accomplish all of the basics.

     And as the enamel eroded, my teeth became less smooth and plaque adhered more tenaciously, making it impossible to get them ​clean. I knew there were many problems with my teeth (with no money for dental care), but it wasn't until they began looking rather bad that I became really worried and ​forced myself to shift gears and find solutions. (They say that necessity is the mother of invention!)        

Lastly, when I was looking into the cost of orthognathic surgery many years ago, I was told that a bad bite and crooked teeth tend to come with dental problems because crooked teeth are harder to clean, because teeth that don't contact don't remineralize as well as they should, and because the bad bite causes much teeth grinding/bruxism (many of my molars are concave and flaking) which also causes cracking of the teeth which can lead to cavities. My magnified photographs show me that much cracking had occurred which would have led to even more cavities if those cracks were not remineralized and sealed with fresh dentin and fresh enamel (yes, my photographs provide evidence that fresh enamel is forming in many places including over previously big cavities).

I Have Retrained Myself
​to ​Nose-Breathe

Do you know that mouth breathing is one of the things that can contribute to poor dental health? A main reason is that saliva is needed to remineralize teeth, and a dry mouth prevents saliva from doing its job. I was a mouth breather for much of my life because my nasal passages were ​usually ​at least half closed.

But now I breathe through my nose most of the time and very comfortably. ​Nose breathing is one of many things that I am doing to heal my cavities
​naturally, ​but I consider nutrition and diet to be the primary element of the protocol that I developed (with some elements of my protocol also used by others).

My goal was to cover all bases, and mine is the most ​comprehensive protocol that I ​have ​seen so far. 

If you would like to learn this as part of a consulting session, I would be happy to share with you what I did to help my body adapt to nose breathing.
