1. Cut Down on Sugar (Especially Hidden Sugars)
Sugar is fuel for the bacteria that destroy your teeth. The less you feed them, the easier it is for your enamel to recover.
2. Brush with a Remineralizing Toothpaste
Look for ingredients like:
- Hydroxyapatite
- Fluoride (in safe amounts)
- Calcium phosphate
These help rebuild the mineral matrix of your enamel.
3. Use Coconut Oil Pulling
Swish 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 10–15 minutes daily to reduce bad bacteria and support gum health.
4. Add More Vitamin D and K2 to Your Diet
These nutrients help your body absorb calcium and direct it to your teeth.
Sources:
- Vitamin D: sunlight, egg yolks, salmon
- Vitamin K2: grass-fed butter, fermented foods
5. Eat More Mineral-Rich Foods
- Leafy greens
- Bone broth
- Cheese (in moderation)
These foods support strong teeth and neutralize acids in your mouth.
6. Rinse with Salt Water
Saltwater balances pH and reduces harmful bacteria.
Mix ½ teaspoon of sea salt in warm water and swish for 30 seconds once or twice daily.
7. Chew Sugar-Free Gum with Xylitol
Xylitol reduces decay-causing bacteria and stimulates saliva, which naturally remineralizes teeth.
What to Avoid:
- Constant snacking (especially carbs)
- Sugary drinks or acidic juices
- Dry mouth—stay hydrated!
