Dental health can be approached naturally and holistically, as demonstrated by Barbara O’Neill, drawing on the principles of Nadine Artemis’s book, Holistic Dental Care: The Complete Guide to Healthy Teeth and Gums. This approach reveals that our teeth, the only exposed bones in the human body, possess a natural healing capacity that is often underestimated.
The Two Fluids Essential to Dental Health:
According to this holistic approach, two essential fluids constantly bathe and nourish our teeth. The first is internal fluid, composed of blood and lymph. Blood delivers the nutrients, oxygen, water, and white blood cells necessary for dental tissues, while lymph removes waste. The second, external fluid is saliva, which coats and protects the teeth from external elements.
The quality of these two fluids depends directly on our lifestyle. Fresh air, sun exposure, going to bed early, daily exercise, a nutritious diet, and adequate hydration all influence their ability to maintain and repair our teeth. Without sufficient water intake, saliva cannot effectively fulfill its protective and healing role
