BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY AND NUTRITION
Biological dentists are aware of the intimate connection between dental health and nutrition.
The teeth require many minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, manganese and boron. These minerals are missing from refined foods. Refined sugars, white flour and white rice, for example, contain little if any of these essential trace minerals. Sugar in the diet feeds bacteria in the mouth that cause plaque and can destroy the teeth. Acidic cola drinks can damage tooth enamel. Phosphoric acid in these drinks also binds and removes calcium, magnesium and zinc from the body. This can lead to bone loss, a common problem today.
Vitamin C, bioflavinoids and many other nutrients are needed for the gums. Eating hard foods such as raw carrots and whole meal bread encourages chewing, which may improve the bite. Chewing natural foods realigned jaw and made braces unnecessary.
What”s Bioflavinoids?
Bioflavonoids enhance the action of Vitamin C and for this reason they should be taken together. Bioflavonoids are effectively used in the treatment of sport injuries as they are pain relieving. They may also be used in relieving pain in the legs, across the back and can lessen the symptoms of prolonged bleeding, a low serum calcium as well as oral herpes.
