Does anyone have experience with remineralizing their teeth and/or reversing acid erosion? Within the past few months I have noticed substantial transclucency and yellowing of my teeth (I have a porcelain crown on one of my front teeth, and the difference between my crown and normal teeth is very obvious).
I am not currently taking any supplements. I am assuming vitamin K2 is the first thing I need. I do not brush with toothpaste anymore (actually, I don't "brush" at all anymore, I gently wipe my teeth with a soft, wet washcloth), I always floss after eating, and I rinse obsessively throughout the day with salt water (probably too often, in fact). I also swish coconut oil a couple of times a day (not oil pulling, just a swish and swallow).
Any and all answers, experiences, etc, will be GREATLY appreciated! Especially (hopefully), positive experiences and recommendations! I dread going to the dentist (which I plan to do, obviously), because I really don't trust them at all and have been absolutely tortured several times in the dentist's chair. I'm actually extremely distressed about the whole thing (<--- understatement).
My diet is pretty Peaty and has been for a while (over a year with only a few deviations): lots of milk, cheeses (various kinds, plus I just added Edam for a hopeful vit K boost), lots of local honey, new potatoes + butter, small amounts of OJ (started adding baking soda and sipping OJ through a straw), liver every 4 - 7 days religiously, 1 or 2 eggs/day, cod occasionally, and only rarely some meat (typically beef, canned tuna, chicken breast). I don't eat fruit anymore because it's almost impossible to find good fruit, so my only fruit is in the form of OJ.
Also, I have been measuring my salivary pH in the morning (right when I wake up), for a couple of weeks and it has been between 6.2 and 6.5 (with a low of 5.8).
Many thanks in advance!
