How to Have Healthier Teeth
Making your smile sparkle...
Whether you love to smile or not, it is probably important to you to have healthier teeth. The state of your teeth and gums is an indication for the state of your health so if you would like healthier gums and teeth then read on...
- As gut health is linked to a healthy mouth I would recommend eating a whole food natural mineral rich diet a and when possible avoiding refined, processed foods & drinks which could have a negative effect on the digestive health so eating a more natural mineral rich diet would be beneficial.
- To help repair the gut after taking out any foods that are causing inflammation in the gut (listed above), it may be beneficial for you to introduce an amino acid called L-Glutamine which could help to repair the gut. Fermented foods such as Kefir, Sauerkraut and Kimchi can be a beneficial way to increase good bacteria. Maybe a probiotic supplement would be beneficial for you, such as one from the brand Activated Probiotics (which have specific ones suited to your condition), New Roots Herbal probiotics can be effective too as well as other brands such as Bio-Kult and Optibac etc. MegaSporeBiotics are spore based that have had some great testimonials. ION Gut + Micrcrobiome is a soil based gut restorative liquid that is said to improve the gut microbiome. Do you own research into these products to see if there are any that you are drawn to. Sometimes probiotics aren't suitable depending on your gut health and could make you feel worse, especially if you intoduce too quickly. All the above brands are available from The Natural Dispensary - see details below.
- Drinking filtered water instead of sugary or caffeinated drinks, also herbal teas can be an option occasionally unless they contain citric acid as this damage tooth enamel. ZEROWATER have a water jug filters, dispenser and additional filters that have gravity-fed filtration system with a premium five-stage ion exchange removing virtually all total dissolved solids (TDS).

- Xylitol can help to reduce the risk of tooth decay as it has been shown to enhance saliva flow. This helps to stablise PH levels so harmful bacteria in the mouth is decreased and tooth enamel is hardened. I recommend the Dr. Hisham's Vital Mints as well as Dr Heffs Remarkable Mints as they have the most natural ingredients I've come across and they taste great too.
- Taking a kelp supplement could help improve quality of the teeth and make them feel cleaner with less plaque accumulating.
- I recommend using a natural toothpaste without fluoride* as conventional varieties contain unhealthy sweeteners and artificial ingredients. My favourites are Dr. Hisham's serum and tooth whitening powder. Another toothpaste that I've heard positive feedback from is called Pitch Black from Noble Naturals. It contains healing ingredients such as Shilajit Resin, activated charcoal, oregano oil, clove oil, mastic oil, red thyme oil, neem oil, diatomaceous earth etc. CLICK HERE to find out more. If you click on products tab on website and the bottom on the list is the Pitch Black Toothpaste. Quote JUL10 to get a 10% discount on these and all other products on the website. In the past I've used Dentura Med Sensitive Toothpaste by Nouveau Health, PerioBrite by Nature's Answer and OregaFresh-P73 Oregano Toothpaste by Tigon. You can buy these from The Natural Dispensary - see details below.
*Fluoride may help strengthen the enamel although not the quality of the teeth and can cause negative health issues.
- Interdental brushes can be beneficial for helping to clear pieces of food and plaque from between your teeth.
- Magnesium helps strengthen enamel on the teeth as well as improving many health conditions. You can rub the Magnesium oil onto your body as it absorbs into your bloodstream directly through the skin. The brand BetterYou is my favourite. MAG365 is the most bio-available Magnesium citrate I’ve found as it is ionic if mixed with freshly boiled water. I’d suggest to start taking a very low dosage and building up slowly. If you get loose bowels then reduce dosage. There’s a Bone Formula one called MAG365 BF and includes Vitamin D, K2, B6, Zinc, Boron and Vitamin C. I’d recommend you get the natural varieties rather than the sweetened ones. The Natural Dispensary (see details below). An effective way to take magnesium internally is Nano Magnesium Mineral water which is easily absorbed. If you prefer capsules then Magnesium Threonate or Magnesium Glycinate are my favourites. These are available at some health shops and online shops such as The Natural Dispensary. Feel free to contact me to find the most cost effective brands and any discount codes I have.
