In addition to sweetening up your everyday foods, xylitol is also considered an important substance to remineralise teeth and protect the enamel. Xylitol helps maintain good dental health in a number of ways:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Kills bacteria by starving them to death<\/li>    <li>Greatly increases the absorption of calcium<\/li>    <li>Raises the pH of saliva making it more favourable for remineralisation<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Xylitol is found in some toothpaste (see below) and can also be taken as a supplement. Talk to your dentist about how much xylitol you can safely consume to remineralise teeth in the fastest way possible.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid foods with phytic acid<\/h3>    <p>During the 1930s, a famous dentist named Weston Prince set out to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"study the dental health (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2520490\/\" target=\"_blank\">study the dental health<\/a> of people living in remote areas with little or no contact with civilisation. The dentist was astonished to discover how most of these people had good oral health with very rare cases of tooth decay and dental caries. <\/p>    <p>As he investigated, he stumbled upon the common theme. They all ate a diet loaded with whole foods like <strong>fatty meat<\/strong>, wild-caught fish, vegetables and fruits, and whole-milk dairy products. They also avoided certain grains and legumes.<\/p>    <p>What is so wrong with grains and legumes? Despite being very healthy, whole grains are rich in phytic acid, a known &#8220;anti-nutrient&#8221; that binds itself to minerals present in the body such as zinc, calcium, and iron which prevents their absorption.  So, the more grains you eat, the more phytic acid your body acquires which ultimately causes damage to the tooth enamel and increases the chances of tooth decay.<\/p>    <p>If your goal is to remineralise teeth and protect your enamel, you can try going <strong>legume and grain-free <\/strong>for some time to reduce phytic acid levels in the body and give it a chance to absorb all the primary minerals. While you do this, here are some great foods to include in your diet:<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/vegetables.jpg\" alt=\"foods to strengthen teeth\" class=\"wp-image-11466\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Eating healthy can help remineralise teeth<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Grass-fed meats<\/li>    <li>Pastured eggs<\/li>    <li>Wild-caught fish<\/li>    <li>Healthy fats from coconut oil and grass-fed butter<\/li>    <li>Organic vegetables<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Of course, before making any drastic changes to your diet, it&#8217;s always best to consult with your physician.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heal your gut with probiotics<\/h3>    <p>Consuming mineral-rich foods is not the only way to <strong>strengthen and remineralise your enamel<\/strong>. There are many other things that you may consider adding to your diet for a healthy mouth; one of which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/oral-health\/oral-probiotics\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"33570\">probiotics<\/a>.<\/p>    <p>Probiotics are the good bacteria present in your gut which not only protect your digestive system but can also reverse tooth demineralization and prevent cavities.

What part do they play in remineralizing teeth and enamel repair?<\/p>    <p>Probiotics <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/11799281\" target=\"_blank\">decrease the number of mutans streptococcus<\/a>, a kind of bacteria found in the mouth that plays a primary role in tooth decay. Additionally, they also keep your gut healthy which means it is better able to absorb the majority of nutrients and minerals.<\/p>    <p>According to recent studies, the following probiotic strains can help you maintain healthy teeth:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Lactobacillus reuteri<\/li>    <li>Lactobacillus salivarius<\/li>    <li>Bifidobacterium animalis <\/li>    <li>Lactobacillus rhamnosus<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Remember to include a high-quality probiotic supplement with the above-mentioned strains in your daily diet if you want to strengthen teeth.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take the right vitamins for teeth<\/h3>    <p>Vitamin D is an important nutrient, not only for your dental health but also for other body systems. It helps the body to absorb calcium which strengthens the joints, bones, and &#8211; you guessed it &#8211; teeth. While most of us are well aware of its importance, not many people make sure to get enough of this vitamin. <\/p>    <p>Scientists have found that supplementing your body with vitamin D can greatly <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/nutritionreviews\/article-abstract\/71\/2\/88\/1939913\" target=\"_blank\">reduce the likelihood of getting cavities.<\/a> You may also consider taking vitamin K2 after seeking appropriate medical advice as it considerably enhances the absorption of vitamin D. <\/p>    <p>Read about recommended vitamin intakes from the NHS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/vitamins-and-minerals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\">here<\/a>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use baking soda <\/h3>    <p>Baking soda is an extremely popular and effective home remedy to whiten teeth. It has even been recommended by dentists as a safe natural alternative to commercial teeth whiteners. But did you know that baking soda can also help you <strong>prevent cavities<\/strong> and maintain good oral hygiene?<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/baking-soda-e1580192597337.jpg\" alt=\"baking soda for enamel repair and remineralization\" class=\"wp-image-8966\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mix baking soda with water<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>What&#8217;s more, baking soda also reduces acidity in the mouth which may otherwise disrupt the layer of minerals naturally deposited on the enamel of a tooth. A reduced acidity level makes it easier for fluoride toothpaste to remineralise and rebuild the enamel, too.<\/p>    <p>So if you think your teeth need a quick remineralisation, all you need to do is mix one tablespoon of baking soda with 120ml of water and swish it around your mouth once a day.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perform coconut oil pulling<\/h3>    <p>Oil pulling is a famous Ayurvedic practice that not only <strong>strengthens the gums and teeth<\/strong> and freshens the breath but also <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18408265\" target=\"_blank\">helps remineralise teeth and prevent tooth decay<\/a>. Numerous studies have proven that using oil can clear away the harmful bacteria, such as streptococcus mutans, which normally reside in the saliva and plaque.<\/p>    <p>Just take one tablespoon of coconut oil and swish it in your mouth for 20 seconds per day. The traditional Ayurveda recommends using sesame oil but for most people, coconut oil is a better choice as it has a better taste.

There is no other source of enamel in the body that can be used for grafting. However, tooth enamel that has been mildly damaged by demineralization can be repaired with some careful attention.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can I eat to remineralise my teeth?<\/h3>    <p>Foods rich in calcium, such as almonds, cheese, milk, and leafy green vegetables, can all help with tooth remineralisation. Phosphorus-rich foods can also help. This includes foods like eggs, fish, and non-processed meat.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can baking soda remineralise teeth?<\/h3>    <p>While baking soda does not directly mineralize teeth, it may aid by reducing acidity in the mouth. This is because a higher level of acidity can disrupt the natural layer of minerals on the enamel. A reduced acidity level also makes it easier for fluoride toothpaste to remineralise and rebuild the enamel.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you reverse tooth decay?<\/h3>    <p>It is possible to reverse this in the early stages with the help of different remedies like baking soda, fluoride remineralizing toothpaste, and probiotics, but this is not a guarantee. If the process of tooth decay continues, more minerals keep getting lost, weakening the enamel, deepening the cavity, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/toothache-causes-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\">causing tooth pain<\/a>. At this stage, the cavity becomes irreversible and enamel repair requires a filling.<\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"><ul class=\"share-buttons\">     <li class=\"share_item share_item-facebook\">
