These DIY at-home dental treatments, often promoted online, promise sparkling teeth and pearly whites, but the reality can be a financial and dental nightmare. Not only are the results of DIY dentistry unpredictable and potentially disastrous, but you could end up spending more on fixing the damage caused by DIY dental procedures than on proper dental care from a professional.

Sugar on its own cannot cause tooth decay. This podcast challenges the idea that sugar is the only cause of tooth decay. It offers ways to halt and even reverse cavities, with methods you can use at home.   You eat sugary or starchy foods. Bacteria in your mouth feed on these, releasing acids as a byproduct. The acid attacks your tooth enamel, which is made of minerals like calcium and phosphate. This weakens the enamel. Ideally, saliva washes away food particles and neutralizes the acid. Minerals from your saliva and food can then rebuild (remineralize) the enamel. However, if the acid attack is too frequent or intense, demineralization wins, leading to cavities. Here's where the holistic approach comes in... www.evolvedental.com.au www.holisticdentistry.au  

Can you sculpt your jawline with your tongue? The internet is buzzing about "mewing," but does this tongue posture trick really work? Dr Rachel Hall, Brisbane holistic dentist exposes the facts behind mewing, its limitations and potential risks. Mewing is a popularized technique that involves placing your tongue in a specific position in your mouth to supposedly change your jawline and facial structure. It's named after a British orthodontist, Mike Mew, who promotes a theory of facial development called orthotropics. Here's the gist of mewing: The Technique: Mewing involves resting your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, including the back of your tongue. Basically, your tongue posture is supposed to train your jaw muscles and influence the shape of your jawbone. The Claims: Proponents of mewing claim it can lead to a more defined jawline, improved facial aesthetics, and even better breathing and sleep. Some even go further suggesting benefits for jaw pain, speech disorders, and sinusitis.   www.evolvedental.com.au www.holisticdentistry.au

Can hydroxyapatite toothpaste reduce your risk of tooth decay and strengthen your teeth? Recent studies have stated that 'Hydroxyapatite toothpaste is as good if not better than fluoride at protecting your teeth and none of the potential nasty side effects or toxicity'. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a type of calcium that makes up 97% of your tooth enamel and 70% of the dentin (the inner part) in teeth. Hydroxyapatite helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth from decay. Hydroxyapatite toothpaste is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to fluoride-based toothpaste. Toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite can create a barrier on your tooth surfaces. This barrier protects teeth against the sugars and acids that wear away at your teeth.   Dr Rachel Hall Brisbane holistic dentist explains about hydroxyapatite and how to reduce your risk for tooth decay/cavities.   www.evolvedental.com.au www.holisticdentistry.au

Food can either work with your body, fuel it perfectly and even help it to repair, heal and grow strong or it can be damaging, making us tired or overactive, adding to inflammation, toxins and ultimately disease in our body.

Wow, that is a powerful and thought-provoking statement. It's food for thought. Rates of illness and disease are increasing, there is not a day that goes by at my holistic dental practice in Brisbane that we do not see someone with diabetes, cancer, allergies, heart disease and a whole host of other conditions, many of which would be considered diseases of lifestyle.   www.evolvedental.com.au www.holisticdentistry.au

As a holistic dentist I'm always being asked what I think about fluoride in the water, what type of water should I drink, can I have bottled water and so on.

But what really surprises me is, nobody seems to know how much water they should drink or why it is so important.   Holistic Dentist Brisbane   www.evolvedental.com.au www.holisticdentistry.au
