Can I Have Perfect White Teeth?
Teeth can heal themselves from the inside out. Your teeth may not be perfect after all the cavities, the fillings and the artificial tooth replacements and bridge work, your teeth have been through the ringer but at least they can still heal themselves.
That’s right, no matter what we throw at our teeth they can still rebuild themselves. It is because teeth are made from living tissue that they have the ability to heal and repair themselves. They can actually re-mineralize, adding back layers of mineral to enamel, replacing what was lost with erosion from bacteria and through wear and tear through daily use.
So as you can see, teeth were meant to last a lifetime, especially if nature provided a way to repair itself. There are remote tribes in the world where in the absence of highly processed, refined foods have perfect teeth well into their 70’s and 80’s. They also have a lack of the dental care we have yet their teeth are healthier than ours. They certainly do not need to know Why do we get a toothache
In fact the women of Samoa and Tonga and the group of pacific islands all enjoy healthy strong teeth throughout life due to their diet and the amount of sunshine which produces bone strengthening and calcium absorbing vitamin D.
There are a lot of elderly people who don’t use toothbrushes or floss but use sugar cane and twigs and bark to the clean the teeth. You would think that this would provide the perfect breeding ground for bacteria to wreak havoc yet their teeth are near flawless. That is why they never ask themselves Why do I get a toothache
This proves that teeth can last a lifetime and that just because it’s a common part of our society, early tooth loss doesn’t mean that we have to accept it.
