Prevent Tooth Decay and Extend the Life of Fillings with Grape Seed Extract

Dena Schmidt via NaturalHealth365 – Are you worried about the health of your teeth? Grape seed extract is a fantastic example of how good nutrition can help keep your smile strong. If you’ve ever had a tooth repaired by a dentist, this report is worth your attention. It’s important to note that most fillings, whether made from amalgam or composite resin, don’t last a lifetime. Amalgam, a blend of metals, tends to be more durable. However, its mercury and other toxic materials make it a harmful option. On the other hand, composite resin offers some great benefits. This material, made from a mix of plastic and fine glass particles, can be custom-tinted to perfectly match your natural tooth color. The only downside is that composite fillings generally last about half as long as amalgam fillings. Still, many consider this a small price to pay for their health and peace of mind. Dental fillings tend to fail due to secondary cavities However, research shows that natural compounds contained within grape seed extract could help strengthen the dentin within the teeth. This, in turn, could increase the lifespan of composite resin fillings. The dentin portion of the teeth forms most of their calcified extracellular tissue and is located right underneath the hardest portion of the tooth, the external enamel. In addition, dentin is comprised mostly of collagen – the same protein that gives structure to the skin and connective tissues. Composite resin fillings must bind to the dentin; however, the interface between the two can weaken, paving the way for tooth restorations to break down. When fillings fail, what usually happens is that tooth decay has formed around it, compromising the seal between the tooth and the filling. Reinforcing the interface in the dentin layer sets the stage for a better bond and a longer-lasting restoration. Flavonoids in grape seed extract support tooth resin in adhering to dental fillings In one study, grape seed extract was found to increase the strength and integrity of the dentin layer effectively. This allowed it to be a better receptacle for composite fillings. The researchers believe that the effectiveness of grape seed extract in preventing tooth decay and preserving dental fillings is due to its support in the self-repair process within teeth. It seems that damaged collagen can repair itself faster in the presence of plant-based flavonoids called oligomeric proanthocyanidins. Grape seed extract is particularly rich in these compounds. It assists in interlocking the collagen-rich dentin and resin of the fillings – creating better adhesion and durability of the filling. Use grape seed extract to help prevent tooth decay and increase the lifespan of dental fillings Over 90 percent of U.S. adults have had at least one cavity. But millions of people have this problem – and don’t even know it! Cavities form when bacteria produce acid that, in turn, erodes tooth enamel minerals faster than it can self-repair. Secondary cavities – around the margin of the filling – are the most common causes of failed tooth restorations. If you have composite resin fillings, consider using grape seed extract to increase their lifespan. Some tips on caring for your teeth are as follows: First, floss your teeth. Use a Hydro Floss® oral irrigator to clean your teeth and gums. Inside the oral irrigator, you can put 20-30 drops of grape seed extract in the reservoir with about 20 ounces of water. Use the oral irrigator to clean your teeth and gums. Finish by brushing your teeth with an herbal toothpaste or make a paste with a small amount of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Naturally, we suggest you see a well-trained biological dentist for any repairs that are needed. By the way, another related study found that Chinese red pine root bark extract could also have similar tooth-strengthening properties. Of course, to keep your teeth healthy, minimize the consumption of processed sugars, eat a diet rich in minerals, and maintain good oral hygiene habits, on a regular basis.

Scientists Confirm the Root Canal-Cancer Connection

Dr. Veronique Desaulniers via NaturalHealth365 – I’ll begin this article by stating the obvious: I am not a dentist, and I don’t pretend to be. However, I talk with women all over the globe every week about breast cancer – as I coach them on my program, which involves the ‘7 essentials’ of breast cancer prevention and treatment. One of the fundamental questions I ask them is: “Do you have root canals?” I ask them this because I am passionate about helping others create vibrant health and educating them on how to get there. And when it comes to root canals, there is mounting evidence to suggest a strong correlation: root canals – which fill your mouth with toxic chemicals – can increase your risk of certain types of cancer. Root Canals Are Common Cause of Cancer Bill Henderson, a blessed memory, authored the book “Cure Your Cancer.” After 25 years as a cancer-prevention advocate speaking with thousands of cancer patients and doctors on and off the air, he says: “Two facts have jumped out at me from those many phone calls: The most common cause of all cancers is root canal-filled teeth and cavitation sites; and Until a cancer patient gets rid of the root canal-filled teeth and cavitations, they don’t get well. You can take those two facts to the bank, folks.” Science is beginning to agree with Henderson’s claim. Dr. Robert Jones looked directly at the relationship between root canals and breast cancer. His 5-year study involving over 300 women with breast cancer found that 93 percent of them had root canals. Interestingly, he also found that, in the majority of the cases, the cancer tumors were located on the same side of the body as the root canal or other oral pathology. In addition, the actual root canal procedure can be the cause of infection from the get-go. A 1998 study published in the American Academy of Periodontology concluded that the actual root canal sites and the blood samples of all 26 case subjects contained anaerobic bacteria. So it is a safe bet that from the minute you get that root canal (no doubt recommended and performed by your traditional local dentist), a never-ending river of bacteria starts flowing into your entire bloodstream. How the Teeth Are Directly Connected to the Health of Your Body The connection between your mouth and the rest of your body makes sense if you look at your teeth as an integral part of your overall body system. Your teeth are living organisms that are connected to the rest of your body through the ‘acupuncture meridian system.’ This organism contains over 3 miles of tubules (tiny fluid-filled holes in the dentin layer of each tooth). When a tooth becomes diseased to the point where it cannot be saved with a non-toxic filling or a crown, the tooth should be extracted. Period. Saving a dying, infected tooth would be like trying to save an infected appendix or gall bladder by stuffing it with bleach (sodium hypochlorite is routinely used in root canals) and other toxic chemicals in the hope that the body will not reject it. Sound silly, right? It is silly and dangerous. Innately, your body does not want to hold on to anything “dead.” If a root canal is performed to “save” a dead tooth, the thousands of tubules within the tooth each become receptacles for deadly bacteria. The result? An ongoing toxic drip of bacteria such as E. Faecalis (responsible for abscess formation and destruction of tissue) into the body and its organs. The result of the constant presence of bacteria in the root canal area can be a severe suppression of the immune system. Infected Teeth Threaten Your Whole Body With Poor Health It can also affect the organs connected to the tooth, again through the acupuncture meridian system. For example, the 4th and 5th teeth – to the left and right of the center teeth – in the upper and lower jaw are connected to the breast meridian. Constant infection caused by a root canal in these teeth can lead to complications, energy (or Chi) imbalances, and blockages in energy flow in the breast meridian. This phenomenon is often very visible in thermography scans. If you have had a root canal, consider having the tooth removed, and the tissue around it cleaned and repaired by a holistic or biological dentist. Biological dentists understand the connection between root canals and disease in the body. The Holistic Dental Association and the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine are great resources for learning more and for finding a biological dentist near you. Bottom line, if you are being proactive with breast cancer prevention and are on a healing journey, you MUST address your dental health.
