For me, Dental (and overall body) health starts with body chemistry and its relationship with hydration
Plaque doesn't grow in a mouth within a body with balanced body chemistry (slightly alkaline)
Most people are dehydrated, usually not from lack of water, but for lack of minerals and salt that allow cells to absorb water.
Without sufficient salt & minerals, drinking water tends to flush more minerals and salts from the body (dark urine is an indicator) furthering dehydration
A solution referred to as "Solay" / "Sole' " can be made from SEA Salt and water and then added to drinking water, soup, stir fry , margueritas etc
I understand Solay is the most easily absorbed form of electrolytes there is.
Youtube has many videos about Solay, I suggest watching a few as most of the ones I've watched have bits of misinformation / inaccuracies
I understand that the average adult needs about one tablespoon of SEA SALT each day
WARNING- Stay away from table Salt as it has an acidifying effect on the body chemistry !!!
I find that when my body chemistry is balanced, I wake in the morning with slick teeth, like I just came from a dental cleaning
Smoking, drinking alcohol , eating starches & sugars makes the body acidic and plaque grows quickly
If one can maintain balanced body chemistry over time, cravings for sweets and starches will tend decrease
Bone broth helps teeth repair, Weston Price foundation has good tips on how to prepare
In general, slow cook whole meat with bones, fat , cartilage , skin
I understand that minerals are stored in our bones and when we don't get enough minerals, the body will pull minerals from thee bones to function
I also understand that the loss of minerals in the bones over time leads to what mainstream medicine calls Osteoporosis, brittle bones
I also find that Sea Salt is vital in agriculture
Best to all for stellar health <3
