Remineralize Teeth with Vitamin K2 and D3
When the dentist told me that I had cavities despite adhering to a sugar-free diet for the past 7 years, I was floored. The cavities were, of course, located near some old fillings that I’d had redone in the past 5 years to remove the mercury amalgam and replace it with biocompatible resin fillings. But still, how was that possible that I had cavities? He recommended that I get my fillings redone again. But this time, I didn’t just jump into the dentists chair. I decided to do some research first.
The first thing I found was a book called Cure Tooth Decay by Ramiel Nagel. I read a few chapters and felt more frightened than before reading it. I didn’t finish the book because it was talking about how I needed to eat liver for every meal. His diet recommendations mostly didn’t jive with the diet information that I painstakingly have mapped out for cancer and other degenerative diseases. So I stopped reading. The main take-away that I got from this book was that Bone Broth probably could be good for remineralizing teeth and a person who didn’t want to eventually end up with gout or cancer could drink Bone Broth regularly for good results. Again though, I didn’t read the whole book so perhaps it’s exceptionally inspired. Rather, I moved on to a new book that seemed to connect up much better with the research I’ve done on supplements and diet for general health:
Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox: How a Little-Known Vitamin Could Save Your Life is an excellent read if you’re hoping to remineralize your teeth. This book talks specifically about vitamin K2, vitamin D3, vitamin A, Calcium, and a few other nutrients and how they work together to build bones (including teeth). I had been taking vitamin D3, but didn’t realize that while my body would absorb calcium from food (I do NOT take calcium supplements because I knew that to do so could cause my arteries to clog up with calcium deposits) but that it would not necessarily deposit the calcium in healthy places. Vitamin K2 (NOT vitamin K1, which is an entirely different vitamin that has to do with blood health) tells the body where the calcium needs to go.
So while vitamin D3 helps my body absorb Calcium. Vitamin K2 tells my body where to put the calcium. So I suppose I have some plaque build-up in my arteries now, but apparently, if I start taking vitamin K2 with my D3, the plaque build up should be 50% gone within 6 weeks. AND, I should start seeing a difference in my teeth.
I’ve stopped using toothpaste because toothpaste mostly contains glycerin and the glycerin clogs up the little microtubules in teeth that makes it possible for nutrients like Calcium and Phosphorus flow freely through them to cause remineralization. Instead, I’m using Chlorine Dioxide with DMSO as a mouthwash followed by brushing and then at least 10-12 minutes of coconut pulling. I add baking soda, Clove Essential Oil, DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide), and Calcium Carbonate to the coconut pulling regime so that my teeth get to interact directly with some calcium each day. As a rule, when the mouth is alkaline, the teeth are remineralizing. So the baking soda and calcium carbonate create that alkaline environment that makes the “tooth juices” flow from the inside to the outside of the teeth through those microtubules. An acidic mouth environment, in contrast, reverse the flow through those microtubules which generally has a negative effect on tooth health.
I’m not going to overcomplicate things while I’m remineralizing my teeth. I already drink Green Tea throughout the day (which is also slightly alkaline). I’m putting some Thieves Essential Oil mix on my gums throughout the day because I have some receding gums too. The clove oil is acidic, but studies have shown that, despite this fact, clove contains gallic acid that just simply works well against the bacteria that cause receding gums.
I have a series of other products that my family members are trying in regard to their own personal tooth remineralization treatments and I’ll be updating the site with our experiences and information about these various products.
If you have Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), or just regular bouts of heartburn, you’ll want to work with this problem at the same time that you remineralize teeth and work on your receding gums. You can use DMSO and Patchouli Essential Oil to treat the Helicobacter pylori infection that is often at the root of GERD and acid reflux issues. Treating acid reflux to help teeth remineralize is possible using these tools.

Jennifer,
I admire you sharing information to help others. In that spirit, I have a few thoughts:
Boron is important for vitamin D and parathyroid glands that regulate calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus for healthy teeth. I use a homemade borax solution (8 mg boron per dose) that is alkaline and kills harmful bacteria.
Magnesium chloride in water has a neutral pH and can help with remineralization. One of the cleanest sources is the deep underground ancient Zechstein seabed in the Netherlands. I grind magnesium flakes into powder for convenient measuring.
In the early 1950s Dr. Abram Hoffer began research and became a world authority on the therapeutic use of niacin. He personally found that 3–4 g/day niacin with meals greatly helped his receding gums.
MMS is acidic, but diluted CDS (chlorine dioxide solution) with neutral pH does not affect tooth enamel and is a highly effective mouthwash against harmful bacteria.
My website has more information about these topics.
Salud!

Hi Gregorio,
Thank you for contributing this additional information! I have remineralized my own teeth using the protocol in the article above so I feel confident saying that it works. But there’s a lot of room for expansion on the topic of remineralizing teeth because it’s something that practically no one has written about and few people realize that it’s possible. So again, thank you for these contributions! Some of our readers may find that they need to work with some of these additional nutrient therapies to remineralize teeth themselves.
Abrazos!

Hi Jennifer,
The book, Cure Tooth Decay, is a summary of the research findings of various people and their subsequent groups. It is full a vibrant leads look down. I found it very useful and it worked. What you will find there is (at the time) a fresh lead that the wonder nutrient that revitalised teeth, maybe be vitamin K2. All these years latter that is it. I tried to summaries the nutrients required to bypass all the organ meat gorging etc. I think the author thought I was wasting my time and to eat natural (though if you are one of those that have general malabsorption and root problems that stop you from getting there….. If you can fix up the root problems causing that malabsorption, then maybe it will work, if you can afford the wall of nutritional requirements and preparations with your other requirements. Over the top healthy people, have little concept about how hard it is to do stuff, and write books asking somebody that needs to make up to 100x the effort to do without health issues).
The book follow the original researcher of the dental association in the US, Weston Price, and another guy who discovered a phosphorus link in the Mid West, and some others. Of one interesting note here, it mentions there was originally a ionic, I think, phosphor based liquid for people who got radiation poisoning, to retain there teeth, by sloshing it around in their mouth, which apparently worked for teeth health in general. But, they took it off the market. Tooth decay comes in multiple different firms affecting calcium or phosphate in teeth. This is only memories, so I might have got a few things wrong. But, a natural like flushing liquid could be made to remineralise the teeth, kill off bad pathogens and plaque, and swallow.
Weston Price went around the world examining different people’s groups diets and teeth health. This includes the natural diets of native tribal groups. He found the fresh summer grass affect on populations that drank raw milk from cows that fed on the grass. I think, he was one of the ones who found that fermented foods were helpful. Our cattle are bred to be super cattle with maximum milk production, but not best for us. Apart from containing A1 protein a lot now they do lots of stuff processing the milk that destroys various factors in the milk that help it breakdown and calcium be absorbed (it’s not A2 protein it’s no A1 along with A2, if one has problems with A1, but advertisers may not tell you that when they say the milk contains A2 protein). It’s like big T. But authentic kefir yoghurt, will not contain maybe thousands of times more probiotic than cheap tablets, but real down the milk fur you and put it in a more absorbable form, with extra absorbable nutrients along the way. Now, kefir yoghurt is not a full spread of probiotics, and there might be more yoghurt/fermented food options put there. But store bough yoghurt, often contains very little probiotic in it, and often just added in a minute in t to sell it like it’s much better. If they left a proper amount in there, the yoghurts might pop their lids from fermentation within weeks. Instead you will get chemicals and preservatives, which can further disrupt your vital gut probiotic biome health. It can take weeks to deliver to a store. So, no month long expiry date. Sour croute is another one
Depending on where you are, it may have nothing but an acid in there to give it an impression of similarity, but no probiotic. Fairly useless as health products. Making your own, or fresh locally made, might be the option. It’s a disaster.
Anyway, one of the other three things that Weston Price discovered, was that People on a sea food diet did very well. He discovered that those on a grain fed diet did poorly. He had comparison pictures of an ugly handsome man on meat fed diet compared to a boyish looking handsome brother who ate a wheat based diet. I got to question what he thinks handsome looks like, because it isn’t the modern version. His version semsctinbe plain and rugged looking, squarish. I think I between in pro ably better, enough Peter Pans running about these days. Hollywood even tries to get Australians to get more rugged looking men (There is something wrong when even Prima Dona like industries, have to go and search elsewhere for rugged handsome authenticity). However, Australia is often going down a similar path 10-20 years behind. I look at the modern generation at times, and wonder. Intelligence, get up and go, and endurance, has fallen off a cliff in parts.
The last major thing here. Is in all the world, Westin Price discovered the Australian East Coast Aboriginals had the best teeth in the world, on what we would call a paleo like diet, with organ meats. He found the East coast Europeans had the worse teeth in the world, on the deficient wheat based diet (with meat most likely too). The third thing he found, was that Rast Coast Aboriginals who adopted the East Coast Europeans wheat based diet, had just as bad teeth as them. What I haven’t heard mentioned, is that the government used to hand out fluorite tablets, and don’t know if that was done as far back as before he got here. Something as simple as that might also correlate between the two groups of people, and those Aboriginals who lived with white people. Bit, there seems to be a correlation with diet being the reason why the teeth were dramatically different.
Now, the Chinese study. I’ve seen videos of people trying to push an agenda with this. There is a fundamental flaw. We are talking about descendants of Dravidian like population (on paternal genetic side), who are a lot different from other populations, like Europeans, who at a latter closet spin off from Dravidian. We could say, such an ancient race was the Indo-European. Just recently, I saw a video of an early pre Sumerian grave statues, and they had European Chinese etc looks, a bit like Emperor Mang from the old Buck Rogers movies, except with extreme raised eyebrows like wings and chiseled looks (heightened nor adrenaline etc, which is a get up and go do things and build empires like trait. The drastic full on differences, are caused by the genetic “founder effect”. This is when a group leaves and becomes seperated from their main population. The average of the genes, and look, is from the average subset of the genes in that population,vandvwgich genes become prominent. So, the Chinese out in the middle of nowhere (from the map) with changing climate, likely went through a further genetic constriction, picking the ones that were more likely to survive). So, what was bad or good for the Chinese, might be different for others. However, the fundamental flaw in the way the study is pushed, is simple. Who said protein produces cancer. We have bred beasts with higher hormones that interfere with our own systems. People on seafood font get such problems, likely because our systems are so different they don’t interfere so much. rice spout protein powder, I find pretty good. The study is no proof that protein itself is the problem. It maybe that selection of protein source and preparation, could mitigate a lot of problems, such as kefir yoghurt dies to cows milk (I do try to make it with rice milk).
Again, the book “Cure Tooth Decay” is a good starting point to get nutrient lists, techniques and research links.
Thank you for adding these valuable thoughts and insights, Wayne!
