One of the most popular articles on this site is how I healed my child’s cavity using the protocol recommended by Dr. Weston A. Price DDS, a dentist who penned the incredible book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration back in the 1930s.
Granted, the cavity I healed was an early cavity .. it was a hole in one of my child’s top front incisors and it filled in within weeks to be as smooth as the teeth next to it.
But what about a tooth with a really bad cavity? What if the cavity has actually eaten into the pulp of the tooth and your dentist recommends a root canal?
Guess what? You can save these teeth too.
The protocol for healing teeth even in such a state of complete degeneration is described in the book Cure Tooth Decay by Rami Nagel. This article on saving damaged teeth without a root canal provides a compelling testimonial of this approach.
I had the privilege of talking to Rami personally at the Wise Traditions Conference last year.
I have no doubt that our conversation helped to enable me to heal my child’s cavity some months later and write about it hopefully helping thousands of people in the process do the exact same thing.
Watch this video featuring Rami Nagel which describes the diet required to avoid and heal teeth at risk for a root canal. Even teeth that are in need of an immediate root canal can be helped.
If you have teeth in such a severe state of decay and think there is no hope, think again. Proper, traditionally based nutrition can work wonders even in these types of situations where the teeth need root canals. Make sure you listen through the whole video to be sure you understand Rami’s description of all aspects of the diet required to heal root canal teeth. It’s much more involved than taking a couple of supplements. There is no quick fix.
In addition, the diet required to heal the root canal teeth needs to be continued so that the problem does not re-emerge in the future.

Need A Biological Dentist Who Understands the Dangers of Root Canals?
I get many requests about who I recommend as a truly holistic, biological dentist. If you are looking for one, I recommend Dr. Carlo Litano of Natural-Smiles.com – (727) 300-0044.

Great info mixed with terrible statements. I am the on staff nutritionist at a biologic dental office. I wrote my dissertation on the remineralization of enamel. Adding cal and phos back to the enamel wall is completely different than regrowing dentin. And you claim to regrow the nerve? Once a nerve is dead and an abscess develops, no amount of Nutrition will fix that. Telling people that it will prolongs the amount of time they leave the infection in their bodies. Poor info.
And I watched the interview with Dr. Nagel. Mostly great stuff until he said baking soda was too abrasive. I am shocked he is still operating under this fallacy. Baking soda is not abrasive at all. Charcoal is way more abrasive (which is why it works to scuff off stains), but no one goes around warning that charcoal damaged enamel. Baking soda was vilified in the 80s due to the success Dr. Paul Keyes was having with baking soda and peroxide in the 70s. And the abrasive myth just stuck around. Baking soda instantly clears acids from the saliva and has no damaging effect on the teeth.
