Dental self healing, regeneration & regrowth of teeth and gums
A subject not much discussed in mainstream media, the following pages feature quotes, real-life stories, research and advice on the capacity of the human dentition and gums to regenerate, remineralize, self-heal and regrow. Doctors and dentists, researchers and private persons give facts, opinions, observations, testimonies and recommendations testifying to the in-built ability of the human teeth and gums to restore their integrity to one degree or another.
Please note that some of the above researchers are likely to not endorse any and all material published by Healing Teeth Naturally.
Dental decay is frequently a reversible process, similar to the daily "building up" and "tearing down" of parts of the tooth enamel (see Demineralisation-Remineralisation).
Personally I believe - and my experience has shown me - that even seriously damaged teeth will respond to good "treatment" (food, cleaning etc.) and can be regenerated to various degrees - at least to the point where they can be near-normally used1. For some dramatic first-person accounts and real-life stories regarding tooth and gum self-healing, see Personal Experiences & Testimonials.
