Has anyone had success remineralizing cavities using natural methods , in particular cavities that extend into the dentin?
I have been swishing comfrey on and off for a few years as part of my dental health routine after reading about the ability of comfrey to heal tooth decay. Whether it has worked for me or not, I am not sure, as a on a recent dentist visit I was told I have several small cavities.
I already have so many fillings in my mouth at this point, and so much other dental work (some of which I suspect wasn't necessary) that I would really like to find an alternative treatment.
I've also reached a point where I find it difficult to trust dentists, because I have received conflicting information from different ones. Here's an example: one of the teeth where this dentist said I have a cavity is the same tooth I was told I had a cavity a few years back from another dentist. However, I eventually got a second opinion on that tooth, and that dentist said there is not cavity there, just a small pit where a cavity may be likely to form.
Is one right and one wrong? All of them seemed equally convinced they were right, which makes no sense to me. At any rate, years have now passed since that tooth was first flagged as having a cavity, and I haven't had any pain in that tooth or any problem with it. And I asked this dentist, well is the cavity there large or small? He said it was small. So if there is really a cavity there, apparently it's not growing?
If anybody has succeeded in treating cavities naturally, I would love to hear what worked for you.
