Was wondering what professionals out there thought of the various ideas on this page (from an admitted non-professional): http://www.paradisenow.net/healing.html > Was wondering what professionals out there thought of the various ideas on > this page (from an admitted non-professional): > > http://www.paradisenow.net/healing.html Not much. We could take the points, fallacies and errors point by point, but there isn't much reason, and I haven't the time. The simple procedures that help are by and large preventive, and his advice here is fanciful.

Well, what about the salt treatment specifically (at the top). Potentially helpful, harmful, or benign? >>> Was wondering what professionals out there thought of the various ideas >>> on [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Thanks for the reply. Well, what about the salt treatment specifically (at > the top). Potentially helpful, harmful, or benign? Harmful--to the extent that it delays real treatment.

Is that impossible? Yep. Impossible. The only thing an erupted tooth can do is lay down secondary dentin. Once the enamel is formed the cells that produce it (ameloblasts) die and are gone forever. On a microscopic level, enamel can be demineralized and then with a change in diet, better home care, and topical Fluoride/mineral preparations improve the surface integrity. Once a cavity is into the dentin and visible to the naked eye, regeneration is not going to occur. A very small cavity *may* cease to be an active area of decay, but you aren't going to grow new enamel or dentin, period.
