How to HEAL a Cavity Naturally & Nutritionally without Spending Money on ‘Drilling and Filling’

If you ask most people whether or not a cavity can heal, the answer you would get 99% of the time is that it is impossible.

Even conventional dentists would agree with this assessment. Ask a typical dentist at a routine cleaning whether you can heal a cavity on your own and he/she is likely to look at you like you’re crazy (I know this from experience).

In stark contrast to this current conventional “wisdom”, Dr. Weston A. Price DDS wrote of numerous situations in his dental practice back in the 1920′s and 1930′s where cavities healed with no need for drilling and filling.  Dr. Price discovered through research that cavities are caused by nutritional deficiency and when this nutritional deficiency is corrected, the cavity heals.

If you think about this in an open-minded manner leaving all preconceived ideas about cavities behind, doesn’t this make sense?  Shouldn’t the body be able to heal a cavity just like it heals a broken bone or a cut on your arm?  Why would teeth be any different from a broken wrist after all?

Having read Dr. Price’s epic work Nutrition and Physical Degeneration some years ago, I’ve been of the school of thought that cavities can indeed be healed with proper nutrition for some time.  But believing something intellectually and knowing it works from experience are two very different things, are they not?

For this reason, I am very excited to relay to you a recent story regarding one of my children.  You see, my oldest child recently developed a cavity in his top right lateral incisor.  It was behind the tooth right on the gumline.  My husband noticed it one night as he was checking his teeth to see if he was doing a good job brushing and flossing (he’s way too old for nightly brushing by Mom or Dad).

There was a definite hole in the tooth and not a small one either.  My husband called me over to take a look and I was alarmed to see the hole and I used a rubber tipped tooth probe that we have on hand to check how deep it was.   The tip of the probe went way into the hole.   There was no doubt that this was a cavity, and we both agreed that we needed to get it filled pronto.  Our reasoning was that the incisors are very prominent teeth and taking a chance that the nutritional approach would not work quickly enough to save the tooth was a big concern for us especially given that our soon to be teenager’s diet could likely not be controlled closely enough to ensure rapid success.

I called the dentist right away and made an appointment. In the meantime, I began insisting that my son take 3 butter oil capsules every morning along with his normal, daily teaspoon of fermented cod liver oil.  I’ve always been pretty strict about the daily cod liver oil dose before school, but a bit slack about the butter oil along with it to be perfectly honest.

Not anymore. With this big hole in the back of his incisor, I knew that he needed to take both together.  Dr. Price discovered that cavities healed faster when these two therapeutic and nourishing oils were taken together.

The dentist appointment was a few weeks out, so I continued with the butter oil capsules every single day.  I also told my son that he really needed to go back to his breakfast of two slices of toast each morning with raw butter and honey instead of tahini and honey which is what he had been having in recent months.

He was fine with that as he loves raw butter and had just gotten out of the routine of having it every morning like he usually did.  Did this simple change of breakfast have an impact on the development of his cavity?

Probably.

I didn’t change anything else.  He didn’t go off grains and he still ate the occasional sugar junk that he gets at school (it was Easter time so this type of stuff was rampant).  He is almost a teenager, after all.  Try to take all grains and sugars out of their diet and you are going to get a rebellion.  Kids need to learn some things on their own.

I’ve found you can’t protect your kids from this stuff and raise them in a bubble – you can only teach them to be wise and they will learn moderation on their own over time.
