wide eyes & laughter Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I feel so "out there" right now because I don't even know enough to ask the right questions! Please do your best to decipher and fill in the blanks:o I posted about teeth sealants and this post stems from that. I am thinking people who have higher levels of acidity (ie: in saliva), despite good oral hygiene, are more prone to cavities. I am trying to avoid sealants. I would like to explore the idea of lowering acidity in my dd7 with a natural approach. What are your thoughts? Ideas? Book recommendations? Thank you so much!

Tarheel Heather Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 In general a whole foods approach. I googled low acidity diets and that's what comes up. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=george&dbid=63 http://www.everydiet.org/acid_alkaline_diets.htm Also spilanthes is good for oral hygeine in particular, doesn't taste all that well, sort of tangy. http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/learn/spilanthes.php Anyway, HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen sn Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I do know that cancer can't grow in an alkaline pH. Rinsing the mouth with bakingsoda and water is a good start for the teeth. Carrots as a night time snack is a good cleanser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
