Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 My teeth have kept me up at night too. They are stressful. In my research I have gathered that teeth can become stronger with good nutrition, just like the bones can. But, if the enamel itself is gone (not just worn away, but totally and completely gone) it can't come back. BUT enamel can also become stronger if it is already there. I got so stressed out about them I has a friend ask her holistic dentist. We did come to the mutual conclusion that if you were a monk living in the country in India or Tibet and we able to achieve extreme concentration, then perhaps you can meditate so that your teeth, even the totally gone enamel, can repair itself. herbal remedies , " Rik " <bliksemskater> wrote: > hello all, > if the body is capable of healing itself, could teeth repair > themselves too? i just never heard of that, and when i couldn't > sleep last night, i was thinking about that........... should have > counted sheep!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Weston Price, a dentist, did some interesting work in the last century where he travelled all over the world and examined people's teeth and palate and analyzed their foods. He found that people eating traditional foods in a balanced diet for generations usually had healthy, straight teeth and a well-shaped palate and jaws. However, once people began eating processed foods and an unbalanced " Western " diet, the teeth, jaws and palate immediately went out of alignment, usually within one or two generations. More recent studies I have read (can't give you the cite, but they were in Science News) noted that correctly aligned dentition makes for better mental functioning (in the academic sense), and absence of teeth seems to lead to earlier onset of dementia. So braces may be correcting for the impact of poor diet (while maybe upsetting the cranial rhythm), but the correction is needed to maintain health and mental functioning. Pat Hi Rich! I don't think braces are a " latest fad " . I am nearly sixty and all my childhood friends had them. My teeth were not as bad as some so my bite was corrected with tongue depressor exercises. Some of those kids couldn't even close their mouths until their teeth were straightened, some could close their mouths but couldn't chew properly and others were constantly biting their cheeks or lips. Natural growth of teeth sometimes is not beneficial, in such cases the braces can perform a valid function. At 09:17 AM 6/2/2004, you wrote: >Interesting points.

It could be that recommending a change in diet may be a better long term solution while braces may be just compounding the problem to a greater degree? Treating symptoms instead of causes seems to be always problematic based upon my experiences. But it is very interesting how new generations of poor eating habits are causing these very long term problems. Thanks for the input.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Changing the diet would be important for the next generation (and the general health and longevity of the individual), but for the individual in question, the teeth need to be adjusted now.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Dear Kim, I am having the same problem and was going to ask the Group, too. When we were little, our mothers knew that grinding the teeth meant we might have pinworms! (parasites in the anal region, usually from sitting in dog poop.) I have started unconsciously grinding or biting, even in the daytime, ever since going on antidepressants. (Lexapro, Lamictal and Wellbutrin.) I read that eating (or even chewing gum) stimulates serotonin, the feel good chemical, in the brain. Since I have dental crowns, I may not be wearing down my actual teeth, but the porcelain is starting to chip off. Plus I wake up with sore jaws and headaches, too. I join you in asking our friends for advice Athena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hi Kim My dentist has made a night guard for me to wear. It is very comfortable and relieves alot of the muscle tension created due to my teeth grinding and clenching.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hi Kim, Well, my approach is always to look for and address the CAUSE of the symptom. So, rather than suggest the common teeth gaurds, I encourage you to get to the reasons why you're grinding your teeth at night. Of course, there are also many remedies you can use to help you out with stress or help you sleep in a more relaxed state. What's the source of your stress? Address that, and you will likely eliminate the problem altogether!

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hi Kim, I was a teeth grinder my whole life and my molars were almost flat. Almost directly after starting to use magnetic products it stopped. I don't know which of them worked but I would think it to be the magnetic pillow, earrings or necklace. I bought a whole sleep system and started sleeping much better so it could also have to do with the mattress pad as it helps the spine to function better and that is also related to the neck which leads to the jaw. I got all this stuff while on vacation and when I went back to my osteopath 6 weeks later she was amazed at how soft my body was compared to the tense mess I was before. People think I'm nuts but I swear by it. I've never heard of this helping with anyone else for teeth grinding but then it's not your regular topic for conversation, LOL! Write me offline for brand details as there is a lot of junk out there.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 26.1.06 would you like to try a very simple thing which is ancient indian wisdom. when you go to sleep, put a small piece of iron, not stainless steel below your pillow. a small piece of horse shoe or a iron nut could do. in india we treat it as negative demons doing so as they are not able to harm you as much as they could. you can also wear it in the neck also. if you wear it in the neck, you may find that suddenly so many problems have reduced. your problem could go away within 3-7 days. try & SHARE> with light & love d.k.kothari DK_Holistic_Healing/ Kim S <Kim1221 wrote: anyone have suggestions for me?I've been grinding my teeth at night...

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Dear Kay, Really, my Tooth & Gum Formula works miracles ! ! ! Now, this doesn't mean that this is all you should do. You also need to be on Lifestyle changing diet. The place to begin with all this is that FREE CD Lecture of mine or purchase the entire CD Lecture Series. Once you get ALL the information on pH and the Acid / Alkaline balance of the body (contained in the 2nd Lecture) you'll never go back to your old ways of eating. You can order the T & G and the Lecture Series at: Http://www.OrganicSolutionsStore.com I've also attached a success story from one of my toughest cases. Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom, Doc Tooth and Gum Problems May 18, l998 When I moved to Clearwater in October, 1997, I had advanced periodontal disease. Very deep pockets existed in all of my teeth and I had been told by 3 dentists that I would lose all of my upper teeth and at least 4 of my lower teeth. In December, my friend Valorie gave me the tooth and gum formula to use on my gums. At the time I had a very deep and painful abscess in my upper gums extending into my sinus cavity. I swished one dropperful of tooth and gum formula around in my mouth and within 20 minutes the pain (that large doses of pain medication would not handle) was gone! I used the formula in this manner for the next couple of days along with Echinacea and the abscess was gone within 3 days. Daily over the next couple of months, I diluted the tooth and gum formula and used the water-pick. This was all in an effort to save some of the lower teeth. I still expected to lose all of the upper teeth and at least 4 of the lower ones. When I went to the dentist in April, 1998 to have a final evaluation and have the necessary teeth extracted, we discovered that all the pockets in the lower teeth had shrunk from 7, 8 and 9 to the normal level of about 3 ½ mm and I was able to keep all of my bottom teeth. In addition I was also able to save 4 teeth on the top, saved myself $1500, and can now eat raw veggies which I love. I was astounded!! So was my dentist. In a nutshell this tooth and gum product tightened my gums, restored the bone loss and returned the above mentioned teeth and surrounding gums to a healthy state. Mary O Clearwater, Florida (The ingredients of the tooth and gum formula are Bayberry rootbark, Oak bark, Tea Tree oil, Echinacea root, Clove oil, Cayenne pepper and Peppermint oil.) Doc Shillington727-447-5282Doc - Doc Thursday, April 19, 2007 2:02 PM teeth Doc i've already started lossing some teeth. what, if anything can I do to build up or heal what I have left? All my molars have been worked on sence I was a kid. Before they had the wonderful sealants they use these days, a detist drilled and filled all my molars because I had deep crevises, each tooth looked like four small teeth grouped close together. I have some tooth pain and trouble with sinuses. I thought the tooth pain was from the sinus pressure. I'm trying to work on both to see where I end up. thank you for being here for all of us.
