How to halt severe tooth decay in a young child with dietary changes alone within a matter of days. No dental intervention or surgery required.
The CDC is reporting that preschoolers’ teeth are in really bad shape. In a startling trend reversal, the number of preschoolers with severe levels of tooth decay is rising.
Dentists everywhere are confirming this trend.
More and more preschoolers from all income levels have 6 -10 or even more cavities. (1, 2)
It doesn’t seem to matter if the child gets regular checkups or whether good tooth brushing habits are followed.
The decay is often so severe that the teeth are literally crumbling out of a child’s mouth.
The solution recommended by conventional dentistry is immediate surgery.
Multiple fillings and root canals in a single visit necessitate general anesthesia as a child that young cannot sit still for the length of time required to fix so many severely rotting teeth.
Sometimes sedation with laughing gas and a local anesthetic works, but not always.
Something is obviously very, very wrong with the diet of the vast majority of children to cause such severe tooth decay at such a young age.
Constant snacking on refined carbohydrates and juice is no doubt a big part of the problem as is the complete void of nutrient-dense foods in most children’s diets.
Conventional Dentistry Ignores Cavity Reversal
Fortunately, more parents are discovering the power of simple dietary changes to save their children’s teeth.
I’ve written before about how I healed my child’s cavity in a few weeks with dietary change alone. Â
No filling was ever required for that tooth. This was over 15 years ago!
How about severe and rampant decay in a preschooler’s mouth, however?
If you think that your child’s teeth are beyond help and surgery is the only option, there is hope!
The video below of how it only took 5 days for severe decay to stop with dietary change alone is sure to change your thinking about the possibilities for your own child.
Be aware that conventional dentists ridicule this approach. They never learned that cavities can heal in dental school.
However, the fact is that tooth decay CAN be reversed was documented and photographed by renowned dentist Dr. Weston A. Price in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
Just because conventional dentists don’t believe it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.
At the very least, dietary change is worth a shot before putting your child through surgery, wouldn’t you agree?
Simple Dietary Changes for Astounding Results
The protocol the Mom in the video below used for reversing severe decay in her young child is outlined in detail in the book Cure Tooth Decay by the late Rami Nagel.
I had the honor of meeting and conversing with Rami extensively about his views on oral health at a health conference in 2013.
I highly recommend his book as a must-read if you are having cavity problems in your child (or even in yourself!).
The Mom in the video below was told surgery was the ONLY way to go due to the severity of her daughter’s decay.
This conventional dentist was wrong!
Only simple dietary changes were required to fix this child’s severe tooth decay. This avoided certain surgery and likely general anesthesia.
Toddler Tooth Decay Halted
Please note that while dietary changes were responsible for healing this rampant tooth decay, a natural remineralizing toothpaste that facilitates the reparative process can also be helpful.
This brand of tooth gel and remineralizing powder is also safe and effective if you are not able to make your own.
Beware of commercial remineralizing toothpaste and treatments, including those sold at dentist’s offices.
Conventional remineralizing toothpastes contain fluoride which negatively impacts a child’s IQ, according to Harvard scientists.
Biological Dentists Recognize that Teeth Can Heal
I get many, many requests about who I recommend as a truly holistic, biological dentist.
I recommend Dr. Carlo Litano of Natural-Smiles.com in Pinellas Park, Florida (727) 300-0044. He has treated our entire family for many years.
He sees both children and adults and does phone consults for those who don’t live close enough for an office visit and may need a second opinion.
Medical tourism is a growing trend well worth considering as well.
Tell Dr. Litano that The Healthy Home Economist sent you and get 10% off your first cleaning or exam.

I have had fillings in most of my molars (12 years ago). I was to the dentist last week for a cleaning and because I was aware of a cavity on the side of one of my back teeth and I wanted it checked out. I could catch the end of my fingernail in the side of the tooth. It has been there for over a year and we were trying to do some things as a family to try and cure decay (one of our daughters has some problems and recently had a tooth crowned…she is 8 years old). We have drank raw dairy from our own cows for the last 7 years and raise all our own meat. We also make bone broths for soups but we do not just consume bone broth on a regular or daily basis. I do use my home canned chicken stock in other things on a regular basis though. I took CLO for awhile but it makes me severely nauseated and I had to quite taking it.
Anyway, they said that there were cavities underneath my old fillings (they are the white fillings and they did replace 2 mercury fillings). Yesterday, they drilled them out to fix them and he found no decay underneath. There were just gaps or voids under them. He had no explanation on why they would be like this and declared he has never seen anything like it. He said that when they were originally filled the other dentist that did them could have used a filler material underneath and that it can dissolve over time but there was no remnant of it at all and he found it all very strange. I had 5 teeth on one side of my mouth filled yesterday but there was not actually any decay. They are saying there are 5 on the other side of my mouth as well and I am leery about having any more work done if there is not really any problems.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Could there have been decay that had healed itself and left the void space under my fillings?
I, of course, mentioned to him that we are trying to remineralize our teeth and cure the decay and strengthen our teeth through diet and use of better/healthier tooth paste and he thinks it’s all hogwash.
Jordan Weiland!
Krista Moore you should check this out!
I just shared with friends today our success too. However I was unable to get my picky child to take the butter/cod oil you suggested I tried another brand and 8 months ago a dentist said lots of cavities and now after taking the CLO for only a month today dentist said no cavities at all on X-ray!
Janel Berchielli, do you mind sharing what other brand of cod liver oil you gave your son? I am picky like your son–I find the fermented cod liver oil hard to take! I am looking for an alternative brand that actually helps heal cavities.
Would be nice if we could READ this and not have to watch video. Ugh.
I read another article recently that tooth decay is caused primarily due to lack of vitamins and minerals in their diets. Makes sense!! Nutrition cures all 🙂
