Interesting idea, is it a permanent fix or do you have to keep doing it?
- Podgajski 3y agoI sometimes have to come back to it, but rarely now, maybe once a year. But I changed many things about my oral and physical health so hard to say what is keeping them mineralized.
- speedylight 3y agoUnderstood. I’ll give it a shot and see how it goes, here’s to eating Ice Cream painfree.
- Podgajski 3y agoPlease let me know if it worked!
- speedylight 3y agoWill do, thank you.
- user_7832 3y agoFWIW if you want a "quick and easy" (not necessarily great/long term) solution, toothpastes like sensodyne do work pretty decently. I had very painful teeth as a kid, reducing (gum/tooth) inflammation + a few weeks of those tooth-sensitivity toothpaste has reduced my sensitivity permanently by a good bit, maybe 60%.
- speedylight 3y agoI already use Sensodyne protect and repair (stannous fluoride and potassium something, not Novamin) and while it does certainly help I just want a permanent fix because the sensitivity has gotten really, really tiresome.
- user_7832 3y agoDid your dentist give any suggestions? In my case I was irritating my gums while brushing, and switching to an ultra-soft toothbrush let me clean my teeth much better. I very much recommend asking your dentist and using an ultra-soft brush ("soft" brushes are average hard, the naming is atrocious).
- manmal 3y agoWhat other things did you change about oral health? I’ve been using probiotics and biofilm dissolvers to great success, but am always looking for more ways.
- Podgajski 3y agoMolybdenum is crucial for teeth. In fact it is the forgotten mineral that helps fluoride work: https://www.jmchemsci.com/article_160981_041959f44ef51db7464b7ec76d8c0420.pdf https://www.jmchemsci.com/article_160981_041959f44ef51db7464... Zinc was big for my gums and to keep my immune system healthy enough to fight oral bacteria.
- manmal 3y agoThat’s great input, thank you!
- unsupp0rted 3y agoThis is such a clever hack that I'm curious what other clever hacks you came up with.
