Cavities are extremely common and something that most people will experience in their lifetime. They are often considered normal, but what could a cavity be telling us about our health?
In this podcast episode from the Are You Menstrual? Podcast episode with Dr. Kelly Blodgett from @blodgettdentalcare , he answers if it’s possible to reverse cavities and shares how to take a holistic approach when deciding what’s best for you.
A few areas that Dr. Blodgett emphasized:
1. Understanding what is causing the decay in the first place. This is typically some source of acid that could be coming from food or beverages. The goal is to look at any nutritional changes that have occurred recently and then figuring out how to reduce/remove it. This could also have to do with digestive and gut health since that will impact our saliva and our saliva impacts our teeth.
2. Evaluating any heath changes. This can be nutrition related, digestion/gut health, hormonal changes (puberty, pregnancy/postpartum/menopause/birth control), and new supplements/medications. Especially medications that reduce saliva, which is essential for a healthy mouth.
3. Using the information you learned in the first two steps to create an individualized approach and experimenting to find what works best for you. One of my favorite things about my conversation with Dr. Blodgett is how he doesn’t have a ton of hard and fast recommendations. It all goes back to what will and will not work for someone based on who they are and their health history. Many different therapies can work for different things, it’s about finding the right one for YOU.
