Hello there! I'm Dr. Michelle Jorgensen from Total Care Dental and Wellness, and today I want to talk to you about remineralizing or “regrowing” your teeth.
I've even prepared a FREE guide for you, but I'll get to that in a minute.
Now, this topic is a huge controversy in dentistry because most dentists think that regrowing teeth is impossible. Well, they're not entirely right and they're not entirely wrong, let me explain-The first thing you need to know is how cavities are formed.
The beginnings of a cavity form when the tooth begins losing minerals, this can occur either because your body is mineral deficient elsewhere and is pulling those minerals from your teeth, or because bacteria in your mouth get fed sugar.
As the bacteria eat the sugar, they actually create acid, and that acid hits the tooth and dissolves the enamel or the minerals in that enamel. This is called demineralization and is how cavities form.
If the decay has only affected the enamel outer covering of the tooth, it can certainly be remineralized or “regrown”, I’ll get to how to do that in just a second.
However, if left untreated, the cavity will continue to grow until it has affected deeper portions of the tooth such as the dentin and pulp.
At that point, greater damage than just demineralization has occurred, and you can no longer remineralize or “regrow that tooth”.
So, can any tooth be “regrown”? The answer is no.
However, if you catch tooth decay early, it is certainly possible as long as the decay is only in the enamel and not only that, but the principles I am going to teach are also going to help you prevent any future tooth decay from occurring.
