Teeth

Toothpaste

Many search out and use fluoride and carrageenan free toothpastes. Sometimes we are required to take antibiotics before a teeth cleaning or filling. A dentist told of an equally effective method to diminish mouth bacteria through the use a tongue scraper and flossing between teeth to diminish the overall mouth bacteria count. This method does not interrupt beneficial mouth bacteria. No longer am I required to take antibiotics before a dental procedure. When out and about rinsing my mouth following a meal with water to dislodge any debris from around the gums and teeth helps. Brushing teeth first thing in the morning and last thing before sleep seems like a good idea.

Avoid Tom's toothpaste as it contains carrageenan.
Avoid All Natural Araganat clay toothpaste though it contains no chemicals it does contain aloe, sage, rosemary all harmful to PKD, PLD. Read labels scrupulously, Its ingredients are listed as:

ILLITE- AQUA- KAOLIN- ARGANIA SPINOSA KERNEL OIL- MARIS SAL- THYMUS VULGARIS (THYME) LEAF EXTRACT- ORIGANUM VULGARE EXTRACT- JUGLANS REGIA (WALNUT) SHELL EXTRACT- SALVIA OFFICINALIS (SAGE) OIL- THYMUS VULGARIS (THYME) LEAF OIL- ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS (ROSEMARY) LEAF OIL- ORIGANUM VULGARE LEAF OIL- MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA (TEA TREE) LEAF OIL / CINNAMOMUM CASSIA BARK OIL

Rhatany to be avoided, is sometimes used as a mouthwash or gargle for mild mouth and throat irritation, swollen gums, cracked tongue, and canker sores.
Avoid tricolsan sometimes used in toothpaste and mouthwash. It is an endocrine diruptor.
Avoid Botanique toothpaste,Colgate toothpaste, Coral White toothpaste, Crest toothpaste, Jason Oral Comfort toothpaste, Jason PowerSmile toothpaste, Kiss my face toothpaste, Natural dentist toothpaste, Natural tea tree toothpaste, Neem toothpaste, Nutribiotic toothpaste, PerioBrite toothpaste, Rolly Toothpaste brush, Xylitol spry toothpaste as these have ingredients that are harmful for PKD and PLD.

Dental Fillings

Olives & Parsley for strong teeth & bones

A recent 2014 article talks of talks of apigenin within olives and parsley might be of some help. Some search out mercury and phthalate free dental fillings.

Apigenin inhibits osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis and prevents bone loss in ovariectomized mice.
Apigenin one of the major polyphenols in olives and parsley.
Our findings indicate that apigenin may have critical effects on bone maintenance in vivo.

Parsley Fluorine

It is fluorine that keeps enamel strong not synthetic fluoride.

Amalgam Dental Fillings

With careful attention to avoiding pesticides, DNA disruptors, herbicides, phthalates, methylparabens, plastics, mercury dental fillings, and harmful plastic resin dental fillings containing phthalates (the kind that needs a warming light to firm it up), survival can turn into longevity.
Ceramic cement dental fillings are best for humans. The more harmful plastic resin dental fillings containing phthalates and silver mercury amalgam are both to be avoided.

Ceramic Cement Dental Fillings BEST

In Switzerland, the Swiss government has banned the use of resin plastic dental fillings for children because phthalate in these types of fillings was implicated in a startling increase in cancer in children. Dentists in Switzerland are required to fill cavities in children's teeth with natural stone cement. In this way care can be taken of the children's teeth until they are adults, when they can then choose to have permanent gold or keep the ceramic cement dental fillings.

Some German Companies Where Your Dentist Can Get Natural Ceramic Dental Cement

USE natural ceramic dental cement that does not require a warming light to harden it. (BEST)

This one seems very good.

Harmful Plastic Resin Dental Fillings AVOID

The substance in the harmful plastic resin dental fillings used to cement your dental work is phthalate. Phthalate is used to soften plastic. Harmful plastic resin dental fillings require the use of a light to harden. The light spectrum depends on the type of resin used. Light-activated resins are one-part translucent polymers that cure and quickly harden when exposed to specific light spectrums. The required wavelength for cure is specific to the resin chemistry. The new light curing unit (LCU) is based on blue light-emitting diodes (LED).

The liver is unable to metabolize phthalate. One can tell if the dentist has used harmful plastic resin dental fillings because the dentist would have used a warming light to firm up the plastic. if your dentist has ever used a warming light to harden fillings, you know those fillings contain phthalate. It is not the warming light itself that is harmful, it is just that the use of the warming light is a sure-fire way to know that phthalate containing fillings are being, or have been, hardened.

Resin cements are utilized in ceramic, full porcelain, and veneer restorations.

To Avoid Phthalates Try These Three Suggestions

Phthalates and Bisphenol A are in many products so read the labels before buying anything!

1. Read the ingredients, identify phthalates in some products by their chemical names, or abbreviations.
DBP (di-n-butyl phthalate) and DEP (diethyl phthalate) are often found in personal care products, including nail polishes, deodorants, perfumes and cologne, aftershave lotions, shampoos, hair gels and hand lotions. (BzBP, see below, is also in some personal care products.)
DEHP (di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate or Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) is used in PVC plastics, including some medical devices.
BzBP (benzylbutyl phthalate) is used in some flooring, car products and personal care products.
DMP (dimethyl phthalate) is used in insect repellent and some plastics (as well as rocket propellant).

2. Be wary of the term "fragrance," which is used to denote a combination of compounds, possibly including phthatates, which are a subject of recent concern because of studies showing they can mimic certain hormones.

3. Choose plastics with the recycling code 1, 2 or 5. Recycling codes 3 and 7 are more likely to contain bisphenol A or phthalates.

Dental Filling Material

Composites and Amalgam are used mainly for direct restoration. Composites can be made of color matching the tooth, and the surface can be polished after the filling procedure has been completed.

Amalgam (avoid) fillings expand with age, possibly cracking the tooth and requiring repair and filling replacement. But chance of leakage of filling is less.

Composite fillings shrink with age and may pull away from the tooth allowing leakage. If leakage is not noticed early recurrent decay may occur.

Fillings have a finite lifespan: an average of 12.8 years for amalgam and 7.8 years for composite resins.[7] Fillings fail because of changes in the filling, tooth or the bond between them. Secondary cavity formation can also affect the structural integrity the original filling. Fillings are recommended for small to medium sized restorations.

Porcelain, Cobalt-Chrome, and Gold are used for indirect restorations like crowns and partial coverage crowns (onlays). Traditional porcelains are brittle and are not always recommended for molar restorations. Some hard porcelains cause excessive wear on opposing teeth.

Ceramic Cement Dental Fillings (BEST)
Resin Plastic Dental Fillings (AVOID contains phthalates)
Amalgam Silver Mercury (AVOID)

The WHO reports that mercury from amalgam and laboratory devices accounts for 53% of total mercury emissions, and that one-third of the mercury in the sewage system comes from dental amalgam flushed down the drain. In countries with high cremation rates (such as the United Kingdom), mercury has become a great concern. Different types of fillings are available.

Amalgam: Countries That Have Banned Amalgam Use

Norway
Amalgam use is illegal in Norway as of 1 January 2008.
Sweden
Amalgam use is illegal in Sweden as of 1 April 2008.

Coconut Oil Pulling For Fresher Breath

On an empty stomach, swish a tablespoon of coconut oil in the mouth for twenty minutes. This is said to remove toxins from the body and help freshen the breath.
