How To Reverse a Cavity at Night | Cure Tooth Decay

👉 THE COMPLETE GUIDE → https://docfederer.com/after-60 The page from the video (The Night Seal, the dry-mouth adjustment and the 8-week plan) is part of the complete guide. THE TRICK I MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO → The white-spot order If you already see a white, chalky spot on a tooth, the order of your night matters, because a rinse after brushing washes the fluoride away. 1. Earlier in the evening (after dinner, not at bedtime): if you do the gum ritual, do the warm green tea + salt swish and the aloe massage then. 2. Last food or drink with sugar or starch: well before bed. After this, only water. 3. The very last thing: brush with a pea-size amount of fluoride toothpaste, soft brush, small gentle circles, extra time at the gumline. Floss or use little brushes between the teeth. 4. Spit out the foam. Do NOT rinse with water. Leave the film on your teeth. 5. If your mouth runs dry at night: a few sips of plain water, a glass by the bed, and a xylitol lozenge you let dissolve slowly. Never an alcohol mouthwash. 6. During the day: sweet things with a meal, not sipped or nibbled for hours. A xylitol gum or mint after you eat. 7. Ask your dentist about a prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste if you get a lot of root cavities or your mouth is very dry from medication. TONIGHT'S ROUTINE FOR YOUR TEETH • Close the kitchen earlier: after you brush, only water. • Fluoride toothpaste, pea-size, soft brush. • Spit, don't rinse. • Dry mouth? Water by the bed + xylitol. No alcohol mouthwash. • Frequency, not amount: every sugary sip or nibble starts about 20–30 minutes of acid on your teeth. THE MIRROR TEST Good daylight, dry the tooth with a tissue, look near the gumline and between the teeth. • White, chalky, dull spot, surface still smooth = often an early lesion. This stage can harden again over weeks to months. • Brown or black with a pit or hole, floss that catches or shreds, food packing in, pain with sweets = most likely a real cavity. A hole does not close at home: see your dentist. • Some dark marks are old, stopped spots. Only your dentist can tell. WHEN TO SEE YOUR DENTIST (don't wait) Throbbing or spreading pain, swelling in the gum or face, pus or a bad taste that won't clear, a loose tooth. With fever or fast swelling: the same day. Tell your doctor or dentist if your mouth is often dry. Many common medicines cause it, and it can often be eased. Never stop a medicine on your own.
