We recently found a couple cavities that had developed in my son's teeth.
I read that a combination of fermented cod liver oil and butter oil can really help to strengthen the teeth, as well as improve overall health in many other ways.
He has since been to the dentist and had a topical fluoride treatment (something we were reticent to do but ultimately felt was the right decision for his health) and dental cement placed in the space where the largest cavity had appeared.
I would like to take a much more preventative approach to his dental health from here on out. According to the dentist and research I have done personally, these cavities likely appeared as a result of shared eating utensils with his mother, who has a history of cavities. It is quite common for cavity-causing bacteria to be shared in families, and for kids to have problems because of it.
Anyway, just looking for some help in this area. We do not use fluoridated toothpaste as kids tend to ingest it, and are trying to base our healthcare more and more and more on diet and prevention as, well, everything really does seem to start in the gut, even (and especially?) one's mood and general humor.
Here is one webpage that was recommended. Please let me know your recommendations/experiences!
