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.
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.

These are al so interesting my question is …does any of this actually work?
My dentist bill is out of this world ever since I had my son ten years ago,and you know what I TOTALLY believe that extreme stress in a certain gestation of the preganancy caused the issues he now has as a child…My mother was stressed with both me and my younger brother and our teeth have progressively got worse very fast….The oldest brother has had not one cavity!….I just cant seem to get it to stop 🙁
Can this diet be followed on a really tight budget? My 3 yr old and I both have tooth decay and I would really love to reverse it through diet and avoid the dentist (and their bills!) all together!
Bone broth and raw dairy saves the day! I have experienced this (by having them drink 1 cup of raw milk a day) with my own family.
My “healthy diet” kid had absorption issues. We healed the gut thru GAPS and CLO.we used Ramiel Nagel Author of Cure Tooth Decay protocol. And we found raw milk and supplemented vit D. We also used ozone therapy thru a great dentist. Pm for info.
Hi deb i have issues with my 18 month old baby girls teeth enamel disappearing and turning yellow. And we brush with coconut oil and have added raw milk… Whatcan i do for her … We dont eat junk food or processed stuff and i am desperate… Her dentist said to just watch it
Hi am having problems with my 18 month old sons four front teeth completely decaying. The pediatric dentist says they need pulled out and he would need to be put to sleep. I am very against this. If you could please give me your advise. The doctor also said he would have back teeth that need filled. I’m just at loss and any advise would be greatly appreciated. Also what is ozone therapy?
I also have a son with this same issue. Front teeth browning and cavities in the molars. He is 4 now and we have seen 3 dentists. They all have different treatment protocols and I am scared to death about all of them. I am so disappointed since I raised him w/o sugar and very little juice. We eat tons of fruits and veggies, all organic. He was diagnosed late last year with a gluten/dairy/corn intolerance. We think this might be a large cause of his rapid tooth decay. Now that the gluten/dairy/corn are gone, I really want to heal his teeth. I see everyone talking about raw milk, but where do I find that? We live in Iowa and they don’t allow it here. I know it is dairy, but I am willing to take the risk if it might fix his teeth. Who knows, maybe the pasturized milk is what he was sensitive to and raw won’t be an issue. I would appreciate any advice you all have.
Is it just me or did anyone get any information on what cured decay? Do I have to buy that book to find out?
My child has lots of cavities – it was found to be due to high strep overgrowth
How did u cure the high strep
Also, high amounts of toxins, such as lead, aluminum, affect mineral absorption. A hair analysis test can get you pointed in the right direction.
Avoiding sugar doesn’t help us. My kids rarely eat sugar and have a ton of cavities. My son’s enamel is soft. We are having major issues with his teeth. I’m going to try the stuff suggested. My son has milk sensitivities. He’s never had raw milk. I’m wondering if he would react the same.
It all has to do with gut health and the bacteria within which is also the bacteria in your mouth.
My husband was told that he needed a root canal. He followed the instructions in Ramiel’s book and the whole he had is still there, but the exposed areas have completely hardened. I’m expecting the dentist to be quite surprised when he goes to see him again.
