How pH Level Relates to Tooth Decay: The Acid Level within the Mouth

Cavity
Rate
Upper Teeth Resting Plaque pH Level pH Level of Plaque after Rinsing Mouth with Sugar
No Cavities 7.1 5.5
Slight Cavities 6.8 4.9
Moderate Cavities 6.2 4.6
Extreme Cavities 5.5 4.3

How Does One Change the pH Level of the Mouth?

You would think if the cause of tooth decay was the acidic condition of the mouth, then the dentist could simply offer a "basic" solution to rinse with a few times a day and cavities would stop. It isn't as simple as this. However some people brush their teeth with baking soda as one method to try to raise the pH of their mouth in order to turn their mouth into a cavity free mouth. Yet the real solution lies deeper within.

Weston Price, Activator-X, and a Cavity Free Mouth

Giving patients grassfed butter from the spring time rich in activator X (a hormone found in spring time butter and fish eggs), along with a reduction in white flour and sugar products, resulted in a change in bacterial levels in the mouth.

In a group of six patients studied, dentist Weston Price reduced the 323,000 colonies per cubic centimeter of saliva of L. acidophilus to 15,000 per cubic centimeter. A reduction of 20 times.

When the mouth pH drops to 5.5 then tooth decay is active. When tooth decay is active there are also much higher levels of bacterial colonies as an effect, not as a cause of tooth decay.

When the mouth pH is 7.1 or higher, there is no tooth decay. Corresponding to the healthier mouth environment, not condusive to tooth decay, is a lesser number of bacteria in the mouth.

A Changed pH Level is the Result and Not the Cause of Tooth Cavities

Although I could not find conclusive studies as to this fact, I believe the lowering of bacteria associated with cavities with the consumption of a better diet including activator X will also likewise affect the mouth's pH level.

In other words, active tooth decay leads to low mouth pH and high bacterial levels.

Halted tooth decay leads to higher pH levels and low bacterial levels.

The cause is the availability of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals in the blood stream which can be used by the body to utilize free, unbound calcium and phosphorus in the blood stream to remineralize teeth and bones.

Likewise, a poor diet of modern processed foods lowers mouth pH, and increases bacterial levels of the mouth.

Cure Tooth Decay

I had several very painful cavities postpartum (after having twins) that kept me up all night in pain and made it so I could barely eat... After following the advice in this book accruately my tooth pain subsided within 24 hours and no longer hurt at all, my teeth also look nicer and my gums no longer bleed and are a nice pink color. -J.

"The practical advice in this book really seems to be reversing my tooth decay!!! Hallelujah brother!!! The dentist wanted me to have two major root canals immediately and two other teeth filled. When I asked him if there was anything I could do with nutrition or supplements to get mu teeth to heal, he said "maybe you could slow the decay down a little bit" but that essentially the answer was no.

That dental visit was three mobnths ago and my teeth have stopped aching all together, are way less temperature sensitive, and feel generally stronger.

Most of us have been totally disempowered regarding the health of our teeth. This information has changed that for me. I bought the book for $28 anyway though. What a bargain, The dental work was going to cost well over $4000.00 no wonder dentists don't seem open to this stuff working! Talk about a biased perspective!!!

Think I'm excited, you will be too if you use this info to take tooth health into your own hands!"

"Not only is Cure Tooth Decay a practical guide to teach parents how to raise healthy children (with healthy teeth), it is also a helpfull tool for adults who have suffered with poor dental health and/or chronic disease. I would also highly recommend this book to people who are looking for things they can do to protect their bones, and their overall health, as they age. In other words, this book is a must read for everyone interested in improving their health." Pam Killeen New York Times nestselling Author

"Ramiel, You (along with Weston Price) saved my teeth. Was supposed to get a root canal (which I had no money to pay for). Tooth was in pain. After three weeks on the diet I can feel a big difference, tooth doesn't hurt now and feels like it's healing. Thanks so much. Unbelievable!" - Leroy, Utah

My cavity has gotten smaller! Once you are set free from being a slave to modern foods of commerce author continues to explain how the ancient people ate. They were healthy, strong and good looking. They had no cavities. They had no illness until familiar western culture came to visit them. If you are reading this review I am sure you understnad something is not right in the world. That we are born to live under a certain hypnosis. That we are taught to give away our responsibility to "people with authority", and those people cannot even take care of themselves. I recommend this book if you want the way out."Ranko, Croatia
