can you eliminate cavities in a child by diet, and floosing, brushing 3 time

[Guest guest]

Kelly-

My friend who has a toddler whose teeth are missing enamel

told me about the sweetener Xylitol. There are mouthwashes,

toothpastes and gum. I have been usingthe products witih my

son. Incidently, it is the same sweetener that was proven in

tests to decrease ear infections becauseif it's anti-bacterial

properties and is somehow made from treebark. I think the

website is Xylitol.org. Maybe that will be helpful in the war

against cavity bugs!

Another group I belong to has a member from New Zealand. Her

dentist uses an interesting approach - " ozone treatment " and

" mineral treatment " . Maybe we could find out more about those

options.

 

I will let you know if I learn anything else : )

 

Joys!

assumed that because my daughter never had any, that he

would be the same. This is not so.... They want to do many

fillings. I believe that since cavities are bacterial they might be

able to be reversed by changes. Does anyone have experience

or opinions?
