Chew Well: Chewing stimulates saliva flow. Eat crunchy, fibrous vegetables (celery, carrots).
Consider a Remineralizing Toothpaste: Use a fluoride-free paste with hydroxyapatite (the natural mineral of enamel) or calcium phosphate (like Novamin, where available). These provide direct building blocks.

Your oral health is a mirror of your gut health. Chronic inflammation and gut dysbiosis can manifest as oral issues.
Consume Probiotics: Support your oral and gut microbiome with fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, kimchi, kombucha).
Heal Your Gut: If you have digestive issues, addressing them (with a professional’s help) can have a surprising positive impact on your teeth.
