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 think in many cases something else is going on in addition. I think 5G and radiation may be adding to the problem of tooth decay. My practitioner finds that to be the case. It may be that EMFs disrupt the microbiome preventing good assimilation of nutrients. I’m hearing of more cases of parasites too and have read that EMFs support them in someway. This is an area that I think needs a lot more study. One thing to do is be sure to unplug Wi-Fi at night and whenever you don’t need to use it so your child can heal during the night. Also get a landline so you have a phone for emergencies, And can shut down the cell phones at night. Do not use them near your children. Just keep them for travel.
Dr. Christian Northrup has some articles with recommendations. Also check out articles on westonaprice.org. And three blogs written by Sally Fallon morrell on the same site
There’s another reason to have a landline. If ever there was a storm and your electricity was down for an extended time you would need a landline, not one with a cordless phone but a real tied down phone so you could call for help or be in touch with your family.
I would like to see pictures of the child teeth in that womens video ?
If it’s true she has to have pictures even from the dentist, then current pictures now.
You can comment on her youtube video about that.
In spite of using coconut oil and our own remineralising toothpowder for 8+ years. It wasn’t until a Coeliac Diagnosis for my husband and many hours of research on my part to discover that gluten/grains are a major cause of tooth decay. We’ve been off gluten/grains/oats for nearly three years now and we no longer have any dental issues, our teeth have pretty much healed themselves and we haven’t cut out candies, juices, or the usual foods/drinks most dentists tell us to avoid. From our experience, problems with our teeth is one way the body is telling us our guts aren’t happy and more specifically it’s likely our bodies are not getting the right nutrients because of the way glutens inhibit our bodies ability to get all the nutrients we need from our food.
Thank you for bringing this up. Yes, gluten intolerance issues in children can be a tooth decay trigger. https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/signs-gluten-causing-childs-dental-decay/
Virgin Cococut oil. Its a miracle worker. My sons teeth started decaying. I thought it was plague because it started to brown the four front teeth. He was only 18 months old and one tooth cracked he fell when not in my care. Needless to say the dentists ( saw 3 different kinds) told me the chipped one may need puling out and they need to make him sleep to on the other three. Frustrati went on an endless search and bumped onto coconut oil. Brush the childs teeth witit twice a day with a pea size. After three days I saw the brown noticeably fade and replaced by white. Within two was all gone and the chipped tooth regenerated! Amazing how babies under three repair with amazing speed!
What brand of coconut oil did you use? Or what specific product? I want to purchase it
this is great but very confusing. My wife is trying to get rid of a cavity and we have the Dropi Cod Liver Oil Capsules (4 caps=2000mg) and Jarrow Formula MK-7 90 mcg capsules. The only problem, we don’t know how much she should be taking, (she weighs 100 lbs). I’m just looking for a recommendation not any medical advice, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I can’t help you but would love to know if you had any luck with healing your baby’s teeth. My son who is 15 months front teeth are rotten and i dont know what else to do. They started to chip as well and i just want to heal them but i dont know what else to do.
