Can your book heal or reverse cavities under a current filling?

The book does not heal cavities, you heal cavities by correcting your health through balancing your diet. Some people have had a very hard time correcting cavities under fillings. Other people have had excellent success.

Cavities under fillings are difficult because the actual filling itself can be traumatizing the tooth. Every bite might jam the filling into a specific area of the tooth causing extra stress on certain areas within the tooth. Fillings can also stress out a tooth if they are not fully bonded onto the tooth. Mercury fillings are not usually bonded to teeth. The biting force on the tooth stresses out the tooth. And if the tooth doesn't have a filling that is bonded to the tooth, the tooth will be much weaker than a normal tooth. This weakened tooth then gets stress at particular spots on the tooth. The result, tooth decay.

Therefore, some cavities under fillings will be greatly aided by some type of surgical intervention. It really is a case by case situation. Many people have misdiagnosed cavities under fillings. In other words, if you have no symptoms, and have a regular x-ray procedure, then sometimes a shadow appears under the filling which may not be a cavity. I suggest trying to confirm the diagnosis with a digital x-ray if you are not certain you have a cavity.

Bottom line is, the nutritional advice presented in Cure Tooth Decay will give you the maximum chance of healing the cavity without further dental surgery. And if you do need to replace your filling, then in the book I explain how to get the best, safest and least invasive dental treatment.
