How to Treat Cavities and Reverse Tooth Decay Naturally

There is a common belief today about cavities that once you have tooth decay, the cavity cannot be reversed. Then the only solution to oral wellness is to have part of your tooth drilled out and filled with a synthetic material. However, it’s been proven that there are ways to reverse cavities naturally.

The four main causes of tooth decay are excess sugar in your diet, too much phytic acid, a lack of minerals and a lack of fat-soluble vitamins. In this video, I talk about the best diet, supplements and natural treatments to reverse cavities and heal tooth decay.

1) Excess sugar: avoid processed sugar 1:33
2) Phytic acid: avoid consuming grains that aren't sprouted or slow-cooked 2:12
3) Load up on minerals: calcium, magnesium, selenium, Iron, phosphorous, silica - either through supplements or mineral-dense foods like sprouted seeds, nuts & vegetables 3:59
4) Take fat-soluble vitamins: Consuming a diet and supplements high in fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, E and especially vitamin D3 and K2. Fatty acids like Omega-3 are great as well 04:54
5) Oil pulling: with coconut oil or sesame oil - 5 to 20 minutes 06:17

I am a dental hygienist Dr Axe is spot on except "flossing is ok" you absolutely NEED to clean between your teeth with something either floss or proxabrush, flosspiks, or a waterpik with tea tree oil mixture is even better especially for gum health. Keep Smiling 😁💕

Surgical Dental Assistant pik is your friend on low settings with the rubber tip. If you us on high your pushing back your gums. Trace your gum line with the rubber tip. This helps a lot!

I just came from the dentist and I was very disappointed at myself. I have neglected my oral health but upon seeing this video, I am hopeful that I can reverse some of the damage. Thank you 🙏🏾

[imjustsaying]

Organic coconut oil pull 20 min a night reversed my severe gum disease in 2 weeks. Was scheduled for dental root planning because gum disease was bad but by time appt rolled around-2 weeks later, it was not needed because gums were completely healed. Dentist was surprised

[itsmidtrib]

I pray for everyone whose parents didn’t show their children how to take care of their dental health properly

[compscript]

I actually have a cavity that has healed and did not know why.
When you mentioned D3 a K2 I got and my vitamins and realized that I was taking those.

[Luna-gggf]

I’ve been coconut oil pulling the past few months and for the past ten years would always have bloody gums after flossing. Since oil pulling I have no bloody gums. The dental hygientist did my cleaning/ floss and I just couldn’t believe there was only the faintest pink. Usually looks like a blood bath and I couldn’t even taste blood. I would never had believed it if I didn’t get results myself. So I understand people being skeptical but seriously try it for a month and see the difference. I’m happy with results, also got a clean bill of health where I usually get “you need a cavity filled” but no cavities this past visit!

[justlookattheflowers]

I use coconut oil on my teeth every night before bed and wake up with no bad breath or taste. its amazing

[oceanbelow]

This is crazy. I still have my wisdom teeth at 34. I oil pull often, and knew it was helping, but also couldn't understand why I wasn't septic or why the cavities hadn't spread (4+ years)! Nice to have the facts to support this! Amazing how the body WANTS to heal itself...if only you let it! 🙏🏾

*Moringa is said to contain 92 anti aging nutrients / minerals as well as 46 antioxidants. It is also reported to be anti bacterial*

[biancahislop]

A dentist wanted to do a root canal on my tooth. Told her to pull it. She did but the tooth next to that one turned bad. I was on double antibiotics and none of it worked. Eventually I stumbled across coconut oil pulling. Did it twice a day for 15-20 mins a day. All cavities in my mouth literally vanished. Oil pulling is disgusting to do but it is very powerful and effective 🙌🏼

[jonathankelly]

Cannot say anything about cavities. But I can say people noticed how naturally white my teeth were after using oil pulling. I highly recommend it!

I feel so incredibly BLESSED to come across your channel!! The United States needs more doctors just like you! It's so sad that so many physicians base their decisions on which medications to prescribe their patients because they will get a kick back from the pharmaceutical rep they are working with. I was in medical sales before I became a stay at home mom and that job really opened my eyes to a whole other side to health care that I never knew existed. Today, I am trying to do things TOTALLY different then how I was raised with my son. I adopted a vegan lifestyle at the end of April of this year and instead of taking my son to a pediatrician or me going to a primary care physician we go to a Functional Medicine doctor. My parents aren't quite on board with all of the decisions I make, but that's ok! God bless YOU for stepping out of the mold of what the majority of people think about when we think of a traditional doctor. I can't imagine the scrutiny you have endured from "traditional" doctors. I just want to encourage you to keep on making these INCREDIBLY informative videos! This is the first one I've watched and it was extremely informative and helpful. I do have one question and pardon me if you have already covered this in another video but can you give me any other advice for helping maintain and prevent any damage to my teeth since adopting the vegan lifestyle? I did notice some tooth decay between my molars on the right side, which is the side of my mouth that I always chew my food with! Lol. Ok, thanks again for creating such an incredible channel. I'm very grateful!!!!

I cut out sugar and alcohol and nuts. I eat oysters, grass fed butter, liver (in pate), eggs, shellfish and bone broth and lots of vegetables, this fixed my bleeding gums in 2-3 months.

00:37 “I know this will work with both mild and moderate cavities.”

00:50 “There are really four main causes of tooth decay: too much sugar in your diet, excess physic acid, lack of minerals, and lack of fat soluble vitamins.”

01:18 Excess sugar sitting in your mouth supports tooth decaying bacteria to grow which then eats away at the tooth enamel… and are linked to other health issues such as heart disease.

01:35 The number one thing to do is to remove all processed sugar from your diet. Sweet substitutes: stevia, Manuka or raw local honey ~ maximum 1 Tbsp, or fruit (dried or fresh). Remove maple syrup and whole cane sugar for a time.

02:15 The second thing: Phytic acid which is what binds minerals and vitamins in the foods, is mostly in grain and some in beans, nuts, and seeds, unless one soaks which starts to sprout them (or slow cook them), releasing the minerals and vitamins for absorption. Eat sprouted grain breads, grains, seeds, and nuts.

Note: 02:56 You are what you digest, not what you eat.

03:59 Step three is load up on minerals… Calcium, Magnesium, and Selenium, Iron, Phosphorous, and Silica that you will find in Vegetables, sprouted nuts and seeds, meats, raw cheeses, and other sheep and goat dairy. Probiotics help with mineral absorption.

4:54 And last, consume a diet high in fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, K, and E. Consume foods that are orange and green.

Damn. He listed the 4 problems and I'm guilty of all four - no wonder my teeth want to come out.

Oil pull one tablespoon of coconut oil for 20 minutes = Fresh breath for 36 - 48 hrs.

[danielforrester]

I've been oil pulling for a couple months now with good results.

I don't even brush as often as I should and dry brush as opposed to using commercial toothpastes. Despite that my teeth have a much cleaner feel than they ever did using regular toothpaste.

My chipped tooth got infected which was the main reason I decided to try oil pulling. After a few days the pain in my jaw and tooth went down substantially. Note: Also added one drop of pure and organic clove essential oil with the organic coconut oil.

This is far more sound as it is much cheaper than standard treatment. More than that, over use of antibiotics is dangerous for the future and our health.

Also, you'd think whenever you use traditional products to clean your teeth and mouth when you have a tooth problem that your teeth would feel better? Guess what? They don't. Isn't that funny?... No it isn't. It's quite annoying to think I could've saved my teeth as well as stress from dental visits and an emptier wallet.

So.... anyway.... I'm going to give the dentist another visit after a few more months of oil pulling and we'll see the before and after of the scans...

With that.. the people will be the judge of what we know is right for us...

We don't need massive studies (studies which can be corrupted by conflicts of interest) to tell us what we already know is true.

If someone wants proof chances are that person will never believe a damn thing anyway.

Hallelujah y'all.

Take care of your teeth kids!! Thanks Doc
