        Eat to support health. The body will take care of the rest.

        Same thoughts I have but I have yet to have my fillings redone. When I do
I will go to Mexico. The work cost about 1/4 that of that in the U.S. and
the doctors are excellent! I had some teeth done for my mother there as
well as many recommendations from friends in border cities.

        Probably a contribution of both. Frequent brushing will also alter the
natural protective flora of the mouth.

        No and they aren't necessarily looking for food to clean their teeth. Just
so happens that a raw food natural unprocessed diet is tooth friendly.
        I had a dentist as a patient at one time and asked if he ever heard of
Weston Price? He answered with Weston who?
