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.

Hi – I am a registered pediatric dental hygienist and find this so very interesting. The biggest and worth repeating biggest problem is that parents are never educated by the pediatrician about nursing, and bottle feeding the child and having the child sleep for 8-10 hrs with milk on the teeth. By the time they are 3 and visit the dentist ( which by the way should be done at age 1 ) child will already have severe tooth decay that will inevitably need pulpotemies (baby root canals) or extractions if infected. I urge parents not to play dentist and try reversing tooth decay if it is advanced. The problem is that infection in the tooth is in the bone and can spread to the brain. X-rays are needed to determine the severity. It is such common occurance and is all preventable with thorough brushing 3 x daily …. And reducing the JUICE. If parents would remove juice which is nothing more than sugar water, dentists would be starving everywhere!
This is rubbish. It isn’t fair either. My son NEVER has juice. He has ALWAYS had either breastmilk or water. We brush his teeth twice daily. His diet is pretty good – no sweets/chocolate. Yet despite this he has had terrible decay and its extremely difficult to know what to do. I am tired of being blamed for him having sugary things when the only thing he does have is fruit (and not dried).
Exactly! My son had never had sugar or sweet products (except fruits: apples, pears and bananas). He had never had juice, ever! I cook his food before every meal (in a steamer), so it’s always fresh. He eats plenty of vegetables, no grains at all (except buckwheat sometimes, which is not a grain anyway). He is taking cod liver oil and grass fed cow butter. Despite this his upper front teeth are in a very bad condition. I am more prone to believe genetics is to blame. I have very bad teeth due to intoxication with fluoride (upper teeth are all with crowns, the lower ones are all filled).
Poor girl.
Might be worth getting some Blood tests to check calcium, magnesium etc. low magnesium will reduce calcium absorption. Low calcium could cause teeth to crumble.
Reduce sugar including honey, etc.
Try going gluten free. Teeth problems in children can be the only indication. Google it.
Genetic factors, 3 out of 4 siblings had falling apart teeth and lousy enamel, one who is now 60 had nd still has gorgeous teeth, 3 out of 4 grandparents had terrible teeth and that was pre antibiotics and pre fluoride days parents need to quite beating themselves up …we are not in control of everything

It starte because of that and was made worse by family as baby sitters sneaking improper drinks an foods into his diet when I wasn’t around
TOO MANY ANTIBIOTICS (even organic apples have them – for ear infections, we went to extremely gentle lymph node massage below the earsz
My children had malformed enamel, causing their teeth to start to crumble as soon as they came in. After trying everything I could find, we were told about BioDent, a supplement by Standard Process (available at many chiropractors and natural health doctors). Now the dentist said that their teeth were in great condition and that they appeared to have no enamel problems with their adult teeth.
