Do you remember your first major dental work?  Mine was a root canal at age 17. Looking back, I can see that it wasn’t just caused by my adolescent diet of chocolate and orange juice, but also the dislocation of leaving home to travel rough for months at a time.

By my early twenties, I had a somewhat settled lifestyle and a much more wholesome diet, but the following decades were plagued with constant cavities, toothaches, sensitivity and another FIVE root canals.  Eventually I became so traumatized by dentists that I started having panic attacks: in the dental chair, in the waiting room and even once under general anesthetic.

Then, in July 2012, I was prescribed my seventh root canal and something inside me shifted.

Instead of helplessly accepting the dentist’s advice, I decided to do my own research. I found Ramiel Nagel’s book Cure Tooth Decay: Heal & Prevent Cavities with Nutrition and within days of implementing just a few of his dietary recommendations my root canal symptoms settled down completely.

It felt amazing to have found a cure and I wanted more. I gradually started exploring and experimenting with other aspects of holistic teeth healing, beyond the basics of oral hygiene and beyond the bounds of Nagel’s nutritional protocol.

Fast forward to today and I’ve never had that root canal (or any other). My teeth stopped crumbling, chipping and cracking. My mouth is very slow to develop tartar buildup. I began to enjoy eating hot, cold and crunchy foods. I saved thousands by avoiding unneeded dental work and I’m proud of my smile.
