Can You Regrow Teeth Naturally?
Some people claim to have had success in restoring their teeth with some home methods. However, these methods have not been fully proven and do not have scientific research backing. Also, there are some methods used but have not been verified to regrow teeth, they include:
- taking vitamin D supplements [3]
- cutting down on sugar
- cutting down on potatoes and other foods high in starch
- cutting down on grains and nuts
- adding healthy fats to your diet
- drinking bone broth
- taking fish oil or cod liver oil supplement
- using remineralizing toothpaste
- using the oil pulling method
These methods have not been verified, so it is important that you discuss with your doctor, dentist or another medical professional before trying any of these methods. While some tips like cutting down sugar are generally advised for one’s oral health, other methods may not be a good idea for everyone. For example, some people might need whole grains and nuts as part of their diet.
Also, though people have reported success with methods such as oil pulling or supplements, there is no solid scientific evidence to support their use or safety. If you notice signs that your teeth are getting worse, such as pain or bleeding gums [4], stop the method and talk with a dentist. It is best that you are conscious when trying these methods, while they may not be bad and may have other health benefits, hardly will they regrow teeth.
What is still most important amongst all the methods is that you continue to brush and floss, which is still the best way to take care of your teeth.
