Tooth Hypersensitivity and Decay

Are your teeth hypersensitive to temperature changes or to sweet and acid foods? When this occurs, your body pH is too acid. Your teeth are screaming for minerals! Instead of using a desensitizing toothpaste, listen to your body and take your minerals.

Dental micro-circulation:

Dr. Ralph Steinman was the first to demonstrate tooth micro-circulation. Liquids that escape the blood circulate from the inside towards the outside of the tooth – like a fountain – when the body pH is normal or alcaline. This constantly cleans the tooth and gives it a shiny surface.

When body pH is acid, this micro-circulation is inverted – from the outside towards the inside. Toxins and acids from bacteria on the surface penetrate through the tooth and stimulate a acute painful reaction – an alarm.

If body pH remains acid too long, decalcification is initiated and decay (a cavity) appears.

Tooth grinding and clenching:

In order to buffer the acid pH in the blood, the body must draw from its mineral reserves. So if your muscles lack minerals to relax when you are sleeping, small interferences in your bite can stimulate grinding and clenching. These lateral pressures bend the tooth from side to side causing enamel crystals to fracture at the gumline. The resulting groove at the gumline remains very sensitive to temperature changes, for example.

Here are other signs of systemic acidity:

• Constant lack of energy (less oxygen in the blood)

• Depression

• Swollen and sensitive gums

• Tooth decay, grinding and clenching

• Greater susceptibility to infection (colds, flu, etc.)

• Hypersensitivity to pain

• Stained, striated and weak nails

• Cramps, shivers and dry skin

• Lack of minerals compromises thyroid function and anti-inflammatory controls. Make sure you eat four cups of green vegetables every day or take your mineral supplements two or three times a day.

Balancing your body pH is crucial to staying healthy or regaining your health.
