However, it is possible to restore the minerals in weakened enamel and make your teeth more resilient to decay. This is a process known as \u2018tooth remineralization\u2019.<\/p> <p>There are several ways to accomplish tooth remineralization to prevent caries and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-health\/dead-tooth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"tooth death (opens in a new tab)\">tooth death<\/a> and acquire good dental health. Let\u2019s look at them one by one. You may use some home remedies with baking soda and coconut oil to make sure your teeth remain healthy and strong. The whole process of tooth remineralization will also require you to cut down on certain foods, for example, those with phytic acid in them.<\/p> <p>When it comes to keeping teeth healthy, you pretty much know the drill: brush them twice a day, floss, and of course, keep yourself miles away from sugary treats and starchy foods. So, it\u2019s naturally frustrating when, even after following this standard advice, you still get tooth decay. What could you possibly still be doing wrong? Probably not paying attention to tooth remineralization.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remineralization treatment<\/h3> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63264\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 262px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/09\/caripro-enamel-armour-229x300.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/09\/caripro-enamel-armour-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/09\/caripro-enamel-armour-781x1024.jpg 781w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/09\/caripro-enamel-armour-768x1007.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/09\/caripro-enamel-armour-1172x1536.jpg 1172w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/09\/caripro-enamel-armour-1562x2048.jpg 1562w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/09\/caripro-enamel-armour-scaled.jpg 1953w\" alt=\"caripro enamel remineralization\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Protect and repair enamel<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div> <p>Our top remineralization treatment is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebrilliant.com\/product\/enamel-armour\/?ref=8950&amp;utm_source=dentaly&amp;utm_medium=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow nofollow\">cariPRO Enamel Armour<\/a>.

The dentist was astonished to discover how most of these people had good oral health with very rare cases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/tooth-decay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tooth decay<\/a> and dental caries.<\/p> <p>As he investigated the reason, he stumbled upon a common thread\u2014all these people ate a diet loaded with whole foods like <strong>fatty meat<\/strong>, wild-caught fish, vegetables and fruits, and whole-milk dairy products while avoiding certain grains and legumes.<\/p> <div class=\"dentist-tip\"> <div class=\"dentist-tip__title\">Ask a dentist: What should I eat to help my enamel?<\/div> <div class=\"dentist-tip__content\"> <p>Some studies have shown that diets that are high in grains and phytic acid may cause an increased risk for cavities. This suggests that grain-free diets could be more beneficial to your enamel. However, you can supplement any diet by also eating nutrient-rich vegetables, fruits, grass-fed meats, and fish that are high in Omega-3 oils, as these have been shown to contribute to oral health and overall health.<\/p> <p>If you\u2019re concerned about enamel health and cavities, you should also be conscious of your gut health, as oral health and gut health are closely related.<\/p> <p><strong>Dr. Randy Martin<\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <p>What is so wrong with grains and legumes? Despite being very healthy (whole grains), they are rich in phytic acid, a known \u201canti-nutrient\u201d that binds itself to minerals present in the body such as zinc, calcium, and iron, and prevents their absorption. Simply speaking, the more grains you eat, the more phytic acid your body acquires which ultimately causes damage to the tooth enamel and increases the chances of tooth decay.<\/p> <p>So, if your goal is remineralize teeth and protect your enamel, you can try going <strong>legume and grain-free <\/strong>for some time to reduce phytic acid levels in the body and give it a chance to absorb all the primary minerals.

Unlike bone or skin, it\u2019s a non-organic tissue that lacks growing properties. There is no other source of enamel in the body that can be used for grafting. Luckily, you might be able to strengthen damaged enamel by using remineralization products.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can I eat to remineralize my teeth?<\/h3> <p>Foods rich in calcium, such as almonds, cheese, milk, and leafy green vegetables, can be eaten for mineralizing your teeth. Additionally, phosphorus-rich foods like eggs and fish may also help.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can baking soda remineralize teeth?<\/h3> <p>While baking soda does not directly mineralize teeth, it may aid the process. It reduces mouth acidity, which would otherwise disrupt natural mineral deposits on the enamel of a tooth. A reduced acidity level also makes it easier for fluoride toothpaste to remineralize and rebuild the enamel.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you reverse a cavity?<\/h3> <p>A cavity is formed due to the loss of minerals from the enamel. This is definitely reversible in the early stages with the help of different remedies like baking soda, fluoride toothpaste, and probiotics. However, if the process of tooth decay continues, more minerals keep getting lost, weakening the enamel, deepening the cavity, and causing tooth pain. At this stage, the cavity becomes irreversible and can only be repaired with a filling.<\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"> <ul class=\"share-buttons\"> <li class=\"share_item share_item-facebook\"><\/li> <li class=\"share_item share_item-twitter\"><\/li> <li class=\"share_item share_item-whatsapp-web\"><\/li> <li class=\"share_item share_item-common\"><\/li> <\/ul> <p><script>\n    document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(event) {\n        var tempInput = jQuery('<input type=\"text\">');\n        var curUrl = jQuery(location).attr('href');\n        var shareButton = jQuery('.share-copy-link');\n        shareButton.on('click', function (e) {\n            e.preventDefault();\n            if (navigator.share) {\n                navigator.share({\n                    title: 'Dentaly.org | Your Oral Healthcare Portal',\n                    url: curUrl\n                }).then(() => {\n                    console.log('Thanks for sharing!');\n                }).catch(console.error);\n            } else {\n                jQuery('body').append(tempInput);\n                tempInput.val(curUrl).select();\n                document.execCommand('copy');\n                tempInput.remove();\n                jQuery(this).attr('data-state', 'Link is copied').addClass('copied');\n                setTimeout(function () {\n                    jQuery('.share-copy-link').removeClass('copied');\n                }, 8000);\n            }\n        });\n    });\n<\/script><\/p> <\/div> <p><!--copyscapeskip--><\/p> <div class=\"medical-references\"> <div class=\"medical-references__heading\">Sources<\/div> <div class=\"medical-references__list\"> <p><strong>Annali di stomatologia:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4252862\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nano-hydroxyapatite and its applications in preventive, restorative and regenerative dentistry: a review of literature.<\/a> Consulted 26, January, 2020.<\/p> <p><strong>Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18408265\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Effect of oil pulling on Streptococcus mutans count in plaque and saliva using Dentocult SM Strip mutans test: a randomized, controlled, triple-blind study.<\/a> Consulted 26, January, 2020.<\/p> <p><strong>Nutrition reviews:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/nutritionreviews\/article\/71\/2\/88\/1939913\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vitamin D and dental caries in controlled clinical trials: systematic review and meta-analysis.<\/a> Consulted 26, January, 2020.<\/p> <p><strong>Caries Research:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/11799281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Effect of long-term consumption of a probiotic bacterium, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, in milk on dental caries and caries risk in children.<\/a> Consulted 26, January, 2020.<\/p> <p><strong>British Medical Journal:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2520490\/?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remarks on the influence of a cereal-free diet rich in vitamin D and calcium on dental caries in children<\/a>.
