A comprehensive guide to natural, do-it-yourself oral care, “Dental Care for Adults: Why It Matters, and What to Do” introduces simple, at-home dental procedures that anyone can do. This book offers dental self-care strategies and practices that get to the core of the problems in our mouths–preventing issues from taking root and gently restoring dental health. Based on a “whole body approach” to oral care, “Dental Care for Adults: Why It Matters, and What to Do” addresses the limits of the traditional approach that treats only the symptoms and not the source of body imbalances. Taking readers on a tour of the ecology of the mouth, the author describes the physiology of the teeth and the sources of bacteria and decay. Revealing the truth about the artificial chemicals in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, the author also discusses the harmful effects of mercury fillings and the much safer ceramic filling options that are available. Covering topics that include healthy nutrition, oral care for adults, and the benefits of botanical substances and plant extracts for maintaining oral health, the author introduces a comprehensive eight-step self-dentistry protocol that offers an effective way to prevent decay, illness, acidic saliva, plaque build-up, gum bleeding, inflammation, and more.
