Safe Solutions for Remineralizing Your Teeth

Your body has an innate system to rebuild your teeth through remineralization. Whether your teeth require support from cavities, conventional dental practices, or a mineral deficiency, there are multiple ways to help remineralize naturally!

Remineralizing Teeth at a Glance

• 🦷 A tooth stripped of its minerals becomes a cavity (dental cary)
• 🦷 Despite access to care, nearly 90% of adults and 23% of children have dental caries in the US
• 🦷 Tooth remineralization is a natural, innate process we can support and encourage
• 🦷 New hydroxyapatite crystals form in the tooth to strengthen and heal it
• 🦷 Diet, high quality oral hygiene, and supplements can help us remineralize our teeth naturally

When a tooth is demineralized, the minerals have been stripped from it, causing dental caries or decay. Tooth remineralization is essentially the body's innate healing process where it deposits minerals in the tooth for healing. This results in new hydroxyapatite crystals, which strengthen and heal teeth. And just like any other process in the body, it requires the tools to run smoothly and we can support it well when we choose an extra boost.

Of course, we choose to start from a place of prevention when it comes to cavities, so even if you are not experiencing issues, it is a good idea to think about diet, oral care products, and supplements!

High Quality Oral Hygiene

Practicing good oral hygiene habits are important in healing your teeth and for overall health! Brush twice a day and floss daily with Thieves Dental Floss for remineralization and then long term.

Easy DIY Remineralizing Mouthwash

Use this simple remineralizing mouthwash twice daily after brushing, and do not rinse teeth with water. This allows the minerals to stay on and help remineralize.

• 1 bottle Mineral Essence
• ½ bottle (approx 4 oz) Thieves Fresh Essence Mouthwash
• Optional: dissolve 6 tbsp calcium powder and 3 tbsp magnesium powder for more acute support

Mix together well, then store in a glass jar. To use, use about 1 tbsp of mix.

It is really important to note that remineralization is not a process that happens only in the mouth and that simply using a toothpaste or rinse will not be enough. Remineralization is a whole-body process where the body must have adequate levels of certain nutrients, especially fat-soluble vitamins and minerals.

Supplements for Remineralizing Teeth

Diet and lifestyle can go a long way when it comes to remineralizing teeth! These supplements work together to give your body the building blocks it requires to get your dental health back above the line.

Also recommended: Inner Beauty Collagen — mix 1 scoop into water or NingXia Red twice daily. Collagen makes up 90% of the organic components of your dentin, cementum, and bone.

Diet & Teeth Remineralization

Dentist Dr. Weston A. Price studied the diet and dental health of cultures with similar genetic backgrounds throughout the world. He found that many cultures with primitive-type diets have individuals with perfect tooth spacing and no evidence of cavities, despite having no access to dentists or modern toothpastes. Others with more modern diets had lots of decay.

The short of it? Reduce foods that promote demineralization like highly processed grains and other foods high in phytic acid (phytic acid interrupts vitamin D metabolism!) and increase foods that promote remineralization like healthy fats and dark, leafy greens. When it comes to grains, whole sprouted options are great.

Foods to Help with Remineralization

• High quality (homemade if possible) bone broths
• Pasture-raised proteins
• Dark, leafy green vegetables (full of minerals!)
• Olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, and avocado oil
• Grass-fed butter or ghee
• Avoid sugar during remineralization — opt for natural sugars like honey or maple syrup if you choose a sweetener
