I’m between dentists. The old one was causing more problems than he was preventing. Talk to me about the book Cure Dental Decay.

Hope to hear more about that book Cure Tooth Decay. I haven't read that one, but I have Weston Price's book. This link has some ideas about foods to prevent cavities: The items on the list fall into two categories, they either strengthen your teeth or help eliminate bacteria.

“Cure Tooth Decay (sub titled Remineralize Cavities and Repair Teeth Naturally With Good Food)” by Ramiel Nagel.

I haven’t looked at it for over a year but the information was specific and very similar to the diet information in Sally Fallon’s “Nourishing Traditions”.

It’s too difficult/expensive to follow it perfectly with kids. Were it just me, I could do it-it’s not impossible and I would eat a similar diet anyway. We already eat differently from the Standard American Diet and my kids LOVE leafy green salads, eat it with meals and in between for snacks. Berries with cream is a common dessert here so we follow some of the recommendations.

The older kids went three years in between dental visits and when we went last month we were met with warnings that they would probably have several cavities. This was followed with a surprised look after none of them had a single cavity, even the six year old and it his first dental exam. My kids all had a good laugh over that.
