My teeth are not in a good state but the more I learn about dentists the less I want to visit one. The last time I went was around six months ago and I asked him to remove the four root canals he gave me, leaving nothing but empty spaces where the teeth once were. He refused however, explaining it was illegal in France to remove a tooth without some kind of plan in place to replace it. This he say is to keep us safe because without all our teeth we cannot chew our food properly and health problems will follow. Laws to keep us safe hey. Where have I heard that one before?
So, if a person in this country has a tooth which needs removing for whatever reason, they must agree to one of the following three options: A root canal with a fake tooth placed on top. An implant (titanium screw into the bone) with fake tooth placed on top. Or dentures. People tend to go for the root canal because it is the least invasive surgery and you get to keep the root of your original tooth.
Worth noting at this point there is no other health procedure in the world which recommends killing a functional part of your body (because it is infected), leaving the remnants where they are, then building over the top without first letting the infected wound heal. Recent research suggests that every single root canal ever performed is infected to a certain degree as a direct consequence of this crazy procedure. Once the nerve is removed however, people don't feel the pain any more, so they just go on with their daily lives without any idea they even have an infection.
I mentioned my concern about the above information to my dentist friend (who speaks English) and let's just say our relationship started to go downhill quickly from that moment onward. In his rage however he did acknowledge that root canals do in fact come with a high probability of problems in the future. Around half the people he treats come back with infections and need their root canals replaced. Great stats I told him!
"Don't remember you mentioning that prior to performing four root canals on me? The other half of your customers who never complained about further infections are probably dead!"
Yep, I think you can imagine how it went from here. He kicked me out and told me I was banned for life. Which as it turns out was the best thing he could have done for me.

Seek and ye shall find
Aside from the deliciously exciting possibility of being able to regrow my dentist damaged teeth I am mostly motivated at the moment by a declining ability to chew my food without pain, so this last week I have been digging into the subject in the way to which I have become accustomed. Inevitably, google makes it harder and harder to get to the truth while YouTube just blatantly deletes accounts and disables comments under videos to keep us from from it, but if one is clever about this they can actually use it as a scale of sorts to convert censorship into an indicator of authenticity.
I am going to list for you in one moment the full results of what I have found, but before I get to that I want first to look at one particular subject and the way in which you can measure its censorship on YouTube as part of your research.
Brushing with soap
Yes you heard that right. I have already started brushing my teeth with a natural bar of soap and it's not as bad as you think!
I learned about this technique from a great holistic dental website and did a double take at first. Can this really be right? Sounds horrible! I recall it was a punishment at my school to wash our mouths out with soapy water if we swore, so naturally this is something we learned to associate with a negative feeling. By design I wonder? Because in reality, the best thing you can do for your teeth is to wash them with soapy water. You see most toothpaste contains glycerin (even the 'good for you' ones) which sticks to our teeth the entire day, ultimately creating more problems than it solves and natural soap is in fact the best product you can use to clean your teeth. Which kinda makes sense when you think about it. Soap cleans stuff.
Once your teeth are actually clean (likely for the first time in your life) they will have the ability to begin repairing themselves again.
So my suggestion is to give this a try!
If you want to get directly to the meat & bones of this post, skip the following chapter.
Using censorship to your advantage
Keen to see if there were other people in the world doing this I turned first to decentralised video platforms where I found nothing except one decent conversation on the subject. Alas, such platforms are all still very young, so I turned to our old friend YouTube where I expected to find a lot more. But instead what I found was just a handful of videos (no more than ten) most of which had been made eight years ago. Come on YouTube, are you expecting me to believe not a single person has made an educational video about brushing their teeth with soap in the last five years? So, that will be red flag number one.
The ten videos which remained were mostly made up of young people brushing their teeth with soap as a dare of some kind or just because they ran out of toothpaste and thought it would be funny. In other words, YouTube is trying to give us the impression only idiots and a very limited number of hippies do this. Red flag number two. The reality on a platform as developed as YouTube is that there should be 100s of videos on every subject you can imagine!
I could find just two ladies (both of whom had amazing looking teeth) with dedicated educational soap brushing films. However, despite getting the basics right both these ladies also gave incorrect information in their films which is the reason I believe they had been permitted to stay.
One of them suggested using a bar of Dove soap for brushing (industrial soap is not the same as natural soap!) while the other lady recommended brushing with classic toothpaste after brushing with soap, which takes us back to the glycerin problem. So yes, there were staggeringly few people with the right info and even they were confused in some way and basically offering bad info as a result. Fed flag number three.
The older comments under both these films were generally speaking very positive, suggesting an awareness of this method and basically confirming its effectiveness. However, the comments switch to an endless flood of negativity around six years ago. Screenshot for you here.
One can only speculate but I would say these are either bot accounts or paid trolls. Because let's face it, if you find a video under which all you can see are negative comments you are less likely to believe the authenticity of the content. So, red flag number four is the endless flow of weird and slightly out of place negative comments which arrived suddenly. Bit like YouTube pressed pressed the bot/troll button on a certain day.
To recap, here are the four main areas to consider when researching on YouTube:
1 - How many videos have been made on the subject and over what period of time? Unless it is a massively niche subject this number should be in the 100s as a minimum. And with the rising interest in alternative health there should be more videos over time, rather than less.
2 - Can you feel the authenticity of the people presenting the films? Are they selling anything? Do they have anything to lose by being wrong?
3 - In the videos where sound information appears to be given, is there other contradictory information which could confuse or lead the viewer in the wrong direction? This one is especially relevant when heavy censorship is suspected and there are only a few videos available to see.
4 - What do the comments say? Is there evidence of bot/troll accounts? Did the tone of the comments change suddenly? If the comments have been switched off, check to see if the presenter confirms this action was not done by them with words such as "please post your questions under my video".
With these four indicators, kindly provided by YouTube, I can say now with certainty the subject of brushing our teeth with soap is being heavily censored and therefore comes with a high probability of being good for us.
And with that said, let's get to the details.
How to repair & regrow teeth
The following list of activities is recommended by this website which, having looked at many, strikes me as the closest thing to clear simple truth you are going to find out there. The website was created by Mayim Vega who now runs a holistic healing practice known as the Arukah Method.
I have talked to thousands of people about their teeth, many of whom have perfect teeth. In all those cases of perfect teeth, the practice of rinsing while eating has been the reason, and not fluoride. I am convinced that perfect teeth have little or nothing to do with genetics. The best way to have perfect teeth besides staying away from greedy or incompetent dentists is to pursue the following behaviors:
Rinse acids off the teeth during eating & after (water is ideal for this purpose but coffee or other drinks with PH 5 or above also work).
Brush the teeth daily with bar soap (natural soap only).
Take calcium pills with vitamin D daily (you could also eat a decent quantity of kale, tofu & nuts in your diet while making sure to get daily sunshine).
Take monosodium phosphate daily (if you wish you can make this at home from household products).
Take freshly made sodium ascorbate daily for gum connections to the teeth (this is vitamin C powder mixed with sodium bicarbonate).
Dispense with the worry that bacteria harm teeth: THEY CANNOT.
Dispense with the worry that sugar destroys teeth. I find sugar has little or nothing to do with cavities.
Avoid all fluoride products. They destroy teeth, unravel enzymes and cause 113 ailments.
So there's your main list of things to adjust in your life if you intend for your teeth to heel naturally. I will add a few more things to this list in a moment but first let's look at an important question.
Can we grow a third set of teeth?
This appears to be a much asked question online and with good reason. I think humans can feel the truth instinctively. Back in the days before the internet (and the censorship which comes with it) we were discovering ancient skeletons all the time with another set of teeth behind the ones we are accustomed to seeing as adults. Wish I could find images for you but google appears to have deleted them!
As children it's no big deal growing a new set of teeth. Esteban lost his first front tooth just a few days ago.
Looking once more to YouTube for evidence of adults who've had success growing new teeth, I found that much like the soap brushing subject there was very little remaining after an evident purge of information. What was left either didn't feel sincere or gave very little in the way of evidence.
A lady by the name of Roxanne stands alone as the only YouTube person who is working towards finding the answer to these tooth related questions. I recommend following her channel to see how she gets on.
If indeed YouTube permit her to stay...
Hyperdontia
Having more teeth than normal is a condition known as hyperdontia, or supernumerary teeth. Children usually have 20 teeth, and by adulthood the normal number of teeth is 32, but up to 3% of people have extra teeth growing somewhere in their mouths. source
So what is it this 3% of people (which is a HUGE number by the way) are doing different to the rest of us? I can only guess at the answer but hyperdontia tells us with certainty humans can and do grow extra teeth all the time.
This man in Canada holds the current record for the most teeth with 41 in total.
I would be curious to know what is the diet of these people with extra teeth because it seems to me this is the most important aspect here.
It might also be related to tea drinking and if you are keen to kick-start the re-growth process I recommend looking at the following herbal calcium formula:
Daily Herbal Calcium Formula Tea
6 parts horsetail grass
4 parts comfrey root (not leaves)
3 parts oat straw
1 part lobelia
You have to buy and mix the herbs yourself. They do not use comfrey root in any packages because the FDA has warned against it. If you haven’t realized it yet, I don’t trust the FDA. The things they approve are usually toxic. The things they ban are usually powerful for healing. NOTE: a “part” is a measurement of volume, not weight. So if you are using cups for measurement, use 6 cups of horsetail, 4 cups comfrey root, etc. source
The holistic doctor who prescribes this tea mentions in this interview how many of her patients will later experience their fillings being pushed out of their teeth as they begin to regrow. Can you imagine that? The crap your dentist put in there just gets pushed out. Happy days!
Brush twice a day
In addition to the soap brushing I will also be brushing with a home made toothpaste designed to aid the whole process. Many thanks to @jin-out for providing the recipe.
- raw virgin coco oil
- reverse osmosis water just to give it a little liquidity (distilled or filtered is acceptable)
- neem powder
- borax
- baking soda
- turmeric (have added this one to whiten the teeth)
In the mornings I will brush with the above paste.
Before bed with the soap.
Using ultrasound to regrow teeth
It is possible through the use of a LIPUS machine (Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound) to stimulate a specific area of the mouth with focused ultrasound and dramatically speed up repair/regrowth time.
The machine was invented ten years ago by Tarek El-Baily, a Canadian dentist.
With 20mins a day of focused ultrasound new teeth start to grow in a month.
This makes sense to me and rings true with a guy on YouTube who said he was able to regrow his tooth by rubbing his tongue in the hole consistently for six months.
Having regrown my receding hair using a similar technique (massage & stimulation of the scalp) I see no reason why this shouldn't work. Consistent stimulation of an area causes enhanced blood flow, which in turn causes growth of whatever happens to be in that area.
The problem people tend to have trying to regrow teeth into long existing holes is the gap which will naturally close over time, so this needs to be opened first using separate techniques. Roxanne is using a technique called mewing (stretching the jaw) and seems to be having success with it.
Daily mantra/affirmations
Affirmations are extremely important because the mind is intimately connected to the body. My hair growth affirmations on YouTube remain to be one of my most popular films under which I receive messages of gratitude on a weekly basis, because they really do work!
I tried to find a tooth repairing/growing mantra but there was only one and it isn't great.
So perhaps I will have to make another.
Fasting
At the outset of any great adventure such as this I recommend a 10 day fast. Ideally a dry fast but water fast is acceptable. If you can't do ten days, five is acceptable. But don't forget, our results are always proportionate to our efforts!
Worth noting here that fasting has a reputation for being bad for our teeth while the opposite is actually true. Some research confirming this for you here in which Dr Shelton states "There is no truth in the notion that fasting injures the teeth."
Root canals
On the subject of root canals specifically I found an excellent documentary here.
The bottom line is don't get a root canal!
Interestingly it was released on Netflix but then removed when the dental industry threw their toys out of the pram over it.
Great resource
A website I found which is an amazing resource well worth checking out:

Conclusion
There are tons of people doing this in tons of different ways but here are my top six take-aways from what I've learned so far:
1 - Sip water (or non acidic drink) every time you eat.
2 - Throw away your store bought toothpaste and brush with natural soap.
3 - If you want to re-grow a tooth which no longer exists, stimulate the hole as often as possible (or buy a Lipus machine).
4 - Do daily affirmations to assist the whole process.
5 - Start eating or supplementing in a way which assists your body on the tooth repair mission.
6 - Sugar, flour & coffee are not bad for our teeth, so you can stop feeling guilty now!
Number 5 obviously has many variables (calcium is in loads of different plants) so one can approach this in a variety of different ways. Though don't forget about the vitamin D (and C) without which the calcium will not be able to do its job.
Before I sign out of this one I wanted also to mention the connection between our teeth, our organs and our glands.
I asked my ex-dentist about this back when we were still talking and he laughed, saying it was a load of rubbish. Yet how do we explain the reality that so many breast cancer patients had their molars removed just prior to discovering the cancer?
So the main take-away from this should be that your teeth are super important and if they are not in good shape the associated organs & glads are going to suffer. Remember in movies how the slave trader always checks the teeth? Well now you know why.
But it's never too late to change your daily habits and take back control of your teeth!
Hippocrates the Father of Medicine once said, "The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it" and how right he was! Just a shame the dental & medical industry forgot this a long time ago, more concerned now with financial profits than actually healing us. The Lipus machine alone serves as evidence for this because if they really cared about giving us perfect healthy teeth they would have a machine in every dental surgery in the world. Yet they don't because the current system makes more money.
And so, I strongly suggest you get yourself a little patch of land and start growing on it. I already have my neem powder ready to go (picked from a local tree, dried & blended) and now just need to dig up some horsetail grass and comfrey plants, both of which we have growing around the garden.
This is comfrey.
Banned by the FDA indeed ;)
Just as it was when I re-grew my receding hairline I will post updates regularly with clear images so that you may follow my progress. My teeth are very stained and I feel a bit of shame photographing them for you but I promise to do it regardless!
Here are Esteban & Luna brushing their teeth with soap last night.
They were quite excited to give it a try in fact.
We have a collection of natural soaps as you can see, bought from a local woman who makes them herself.
Not gonna say they loved it, but they did it. For the full 2 mins!
And they were keen to do it again in the morning, which is a great sign!
So, with this and the water sipping habit I am confident now they will never once visit a dentist in their entire lives.
Which I think you will agree is a pretty mega statement to make.
Here's me with my calcium boosting kale, parsley, beetroot, apple, carrot, lemon & ginger juice, made fresh from the garden.
Love & Light everyone 🌱
