How to Save on Dental Bills

How to save on dental bills–three real food success stories!

Real Food not only protects our bodies, but it also protects our teeth AND our pocketbooks, too!  (Note:  I am not a doctor or dentist:  Read my full disclaimer here.)

***If you're dealing with cavities, click here to skip the stories and jump right to my suggestions, but these 3 stories are amazing and you'll benefit from reading them!

–> How to Save on Dental Bills:  Testimony #1

Here's my reader friend Adina:

I wanted to share with you a success story about my three year old son and how to save on dental bills!  In mid-November I took him to the dentist for a tooth infection.  But it turns out he had more than that, he had about four cavities plus one broken tooth and it had turned brown.  Also on the top teeth he had a brown line, no matter how much I was brushing his teeth, nothing helped.

So the dentist told us we'll need about $2600 to fix every tooth in his mouth.  

I was very sad and didn't know what to do.  So I talked to one of my neighbors (a longtime Kitchen Kop reader friend, Jill, who also used to be Kelly's assistant) and was telling her about my situation.  She suggested I read this book called Cure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities with Nutrition, and she also said to give my son cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil (scroll down at that link to find it & use the code KOP for a discount).  As soon as I finished talking to her I came home and ordered them both and soon started giving it to him.

I couldn't believe it, Monday night the 10th of December I looked in his mouth and he had one more cavity left and the rest are gone.  Even his broken tooth is starting to heal!

I didn't change much about his diet except every morning I give him the cod liver oil and toast with the butter oil, that's all I did.

I have three kids and before I found out about this awesome cure for tooth decay I had my oldest daughter's teeth fixed and spent $2600.  So I'm very happy to share this experience with everybody so they know how to save on dental bills too.

If you notice in this picture below, my son's fifth tooth is still a little brown but it's getting better day by day, and my daughter just has some cavities left on the bottom teeth.  I thought I should share my story, IT'S A TRUE MIRACLE.

Thank you for sharing your story and also for telling us how to save on dental bills, Adina!!!  How to Save on Dental Bills

–>How to Save on Dental Bills:  Testimony #2

This is from a 6-hour colostrum group I'm in…

“I went to my dental hygienist for a regular appointment and she noticed what appeared to be an infection in one of my front teeth. She had the dentist take a look at it, and he took an x-ray of the tooth. After examining the tooth and the x-ray, he said that there was a 98% chance that the tooth would need to be replaced with an implant as the root had a crack in it. He referred me to an endodontist for confirmation and to schedule further appointments. However, I was unable to get in to see the endodontist for 10 days. In the meantime, I started taking Colustrum6 orally, and I also packed a wad of it under my gum by my infected tooth at nighttime before going to bed and just let it dissolve. I did that daily for the 10 days in between my dentist appointment and my visit to the endodontist. When I went to the endodontist, and after he examined my tooth and ran tests on it, in amazement he said it appeared to be healthy and that I did not need any further work on it. He prescribed an antibiotic to clear up the infection. On my next visit to my dentist they took another x-ray of my tooth and he said that it looked like there was not only what looked like new gum growth but that it appeared that the crack on my root was now very faint which meant that the tooth had new growth on it.”

Crazy, right?!!!

–>How to Save on Dental Bills:  Testimony #3

To top all of this off, here's a personal story.  Two of our kids had small cavities a few years ago and since our dentist is cool, he was okay with us waiting to fill them and trying to heal it ourselves.  I got them started on the below protocol and a year later when we had them checked again, the cavities were totally gone!  (It may have been much sooner, but we only go in yearly for cleanings.)

Best suggestions for how to save on dental bills, remineralizing teeth and dealing with cavities–real food based supplements and more:

Reminder:  none of this is medical or dental advice, I'm just sharing what worked for us and for others, be sure to consult a professional, *especially* if you might be on medications that could possibly conflict with some of these natural options. 

***IMPORTANT:  I know that some of the below can be expensive, but keep in mind that it's much cheaper than paying to have a bunch of cavities filled!!

  • Start by grabbing a copy of my book, Real Food for Rookies.  Not because I'm trying to get more sales, but because it really is a great help for those needing to get more nutrient-dense foods into your diet!  Even if you're pretty sure you're eating well, avoiding soda pop, etc., this will help you be sure that you're doing all you can.

  • Increase or start taking this cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil (scroll down at that link to find it & use code KOP for a discount–the capsules or liquid are both fine).  ***Although FYI, when we healed two of our kids' cavities, we gave CLO and just increased grassfed butter (from Costco) in their diet instead of taking the butter oil.
  • Get this 6-hour colostrum.  Here's how to slip more into your diet (these superfood smoothies are my favorite, but there are many ways), and even better is packing it into your gums at night.  (More info is below on this.)
  • Add in safer oral care products:  
    • I love the flavor and fresh taste of these HealThy Mouth drops instead of toothpaste or for breath freshening.  100% certified organic, it targets gum disease and balances your oral flora.
    • For remineralization AND whitening, I like SHINE powder.  This provides “tiny particles of the exact mineral structure our teeth are made of, which allows our teeth to rebuild and restore the minerals that they have lost.” (They have mint or cinnamon flavor if you're also using the below homeopathics–read here about why it's best to avoid mint if using homeopathic remedies.)
    • Just want a safe toothpaste, we love these.  (Find many more natural and SAFE home and personal care products there too.)
  • We like to hit it from all sides, so we also gave this and this homeopathic remedy together, twice/day, both in 12x potency.  (Read here about starting homeopathy.)
  • Keep in mind, for our kids anyway, they were not as consistent as they should've been with the above, and it still worked!

Extra tips on how to save on dental bills–want to do even more to be sure?  (This stuff is important anyway…)

Cut out junk food (fast food or food that comes in boxes or bags), soda, excessive sweets, and vegetable oils like soybean or canola–those oils are two of the worst “foods” in the world.  Read labels so you know what's in your food.  Get my free grocery store cheat sheet for help with that here!  It’s the whole first chapter of my book, which I wrote to help those who are feeling overwhelmed or who just need a little help when trying to find healthier alternatives to the foods and drinks you love.  🙂

LEARN MORE:

  • What is colostrum and what are the benefits for dental health, gut health/immunity building, & more–my friend Paola explains how she packs the powder by the affected tooth at night for increased absorption, just put some in there and let it dissolve. (It has a very mild, pleasant taste that you won't mind.)  And learn more about colostrum here.

  • Safe teeth whitening is possible!

  • Get Rami Nagel's book here: Cure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities with Nutrition

DISCLAIMER:  Use common sense with this.  You may want to consult a holistic dentist or other professional in your area for more help.  A reader in the comments kindly (?) offered the below advice, and because I DO want you to be aware of all sides of the debate, I'm sharing some of it here (even though she was snippy!):

Tooth decay can lead to abscesses which can lead to death if not treated appropriately by a dentist!!!  This is a dangerous and a misleading article! Tooth decay is bacteria that has eaten through the hardest substance in your body, enamel, and has to be drilled out and filled. If left untreated it will go deeper into the second layer of the tooth, dentin, then into the middle of the tooth, the pulp and infect the nerve, thus resulting in a root canal. IF left untreated, this trapped bacteria can cause swelling of the facial tissue and neck, which is called Ludwig’s angina, and block the airway and could result in death. This article is beyond absurd.”

My reply:  

“That’s why I encourage people to use common sense. I shared here how to save on dental bills and what has worked for these people (and others), but also tell readers to be smart and consult a professional when needed.  I’ll add a note on the disclaimer and make sure readers know about your warnings because I DO like people to know all sides of every story. I just do not want them to blindly follow anyone's advice, not a dentist’s, not yours, not a friend’s, not a doctor’s, and especially not mine. The conventional way is not the only way, and often it’s not the best way, either. Sometimes it might be, but we don’t know what’s right for us until doing our own research.  And by the way, of course there are no scientific studies to prove what's in this article–who would pay for that when there's no way they could financially benefit?!!!!”

    Does the FCLO work well on it’s own? My little one is allergic to cow’s milk. Is there something else I can add that would replace the butter oil and work as well?

    I’m a retired dental assistant and dentists do (at least the ones I worked with) pulpotomies on baby teeth instead of root canals because there is not much root. If the tooth is really bad, it can be extracted and a spacer can be made to hold the space for the permanent tooth. It’s easy to do. If your baby is hurting, please get her treated.

    Following the dietary recommendations and doing oil pulling should help. If i doesn’t I would say just have the tooth pulled.

    The cure tooth decay book is great for preventing cavities or healing small ones, but once the decay gets to the pulp, it’s very hard to heal it. Dental pain can be awful, and in my opinion, kids shouldn’t have to suffer with it. In the case of the parent who wrote the letter, I would advise getting the tooth treated by a holistic dentist to stop the pain. Pulpotomy is not the only choice, they can also extract it if a filling would not stop the pain because the decay is at the pulp chamber.

    Then I would use the cure tooth decay book to prevent further cavities from appearing or getting that bad.

    Our 5 year old is cavity free so far, thank God, by using homemade toothpaste and doing oil pulling. Yes, she does oil pulling.

    I’ve had my kids take bee propolis to help with the infection (and reduces pain once the infection gets under control) then the tooth gets pulled.

    We haven’t had good luck with natural remedies. None of my kids ever had a cavity until we stopped using fluoride we ended up having so many that we brought back the fluoride toothpaste for the older kids.

      For me It’s been the opposite. Going fluoride free stopped the cavities from happening

      I believe a little fluoride is good, too much is bad. Problem is we now get exposed to too much in varying ways.

    I am interested too as I have been told my 5 year old son needs a pulpotomy. I believe that is a “baby root canal.” Are their other options? We are trying hard to heal it right now but eventually I may have to do something. Dental issues scare me.

      This book is really the “heal tooth decay” bible: https://amzn.to/2sSaGHE I would also recommend finding a biological (holistic) dentist, which you can find on this site: https://holisticdental.org/find-a-holistic-dentist

    My friend halted her daughter’s decay by removing grains and using fclo and butter oil. Oil pulling and the cell salts have helped alleviate pain in one of my back teeth. I will be going to the dentist to see if it’s actually halted any decay soon. It was a suspicious area the last time I was there. I also maintain a diet with low refined grains and refined sugar.

    Such an absurd article huh? So absurd in fact that after I took the same supplement, one of my cavities has now gone and the other areas are improving. I noticed this after I compared my teeth to the impression my Dentist made for me. I only took a look because my gum inflammation and sensitivity ceased to exist after supplementation.

    The fact is, no Dentist or Dental group will invest in trials or investigate this further because there is no money to be made. I know some who even refuse to read the book, hows that for open mindedness?

    My cavities where not deep enough to require fillings and my Dentist would use visual, xray and comparisom of the model to monitor that and wear and tear levels. He used a sealant on one but after a few months that began to be a little sensitive, that has stopped as well.

    On one of the teeth in the model, there is a cavity but that cavity is no longer visible after I supplemented with Blue Ice Royal and High Vitamin Butter Oil blend.

    You can deny it all you want but anyone who takes the time to try it will at the very least, experience some improvement.

    I have been going to the same dentist for years. I’ve had many crowns, no root canals (although 15 years ago a dentist told me I needed one) and have been denying x-rays for about 2.5 years. They gave me the boot this last time and I looked up a biological dentist near me.

    I became a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner last last year at this time. I have been “practicing” on myself since February of 2013 and have seen my teeth get better and better. I take both fermented cod liver oil and drink whole raw dairy, just like our great great grandparents did. I have seen lots of ailments that I was tolerating, go away. Give whole foods, movement and sleep a chance-you might just be suprised!

    So far, so good. When I ordered, I had a toothache. Now, this is not scientific in any way. But the pain was getting worse. It came in and I started taking it. I didn’t even realize until a comment popped up on this post again that the pain had diminished considerably. Yeay!

    It IS possible to heal teeth with nutrition. I’m familiar with the advice given in this book, but I resorted to a bit of a different route. I helped my 3 y/o son heal in an incredible way when THREE dentists said there was nothing I could do to help him avoid a MAJOR dental surgery! They wanted to put him under general anesthesia and give him FIVE stainless steel crowns on his baby teeth!

    With my nutritional rebalancing program, his teeth remineralized from the inside out in just 3-4 months!!! And yes, that was clearly visible on his new X-rays as secondary dentin.

    Now, 3 yrs. later, his gums are still perfectly healthy and he never got a new cavity.

    Robyn, If it were not for old remedies you probably would not be here. Get a life and read the article. Kelly never says her posts or the answer is the end all to your problems. Having an abscess does not always lead to death. The nerve dies in most cases and eventually you get relief. In most cases yes a person should see a dentist but its not a sure death sentence. And, oh stop it with the Ludwig angina statement. I know all too well about it and most of the time affects older people.

      Pilan,
      Don’t tell me to “get a life” or “stop it with the Ludwig angina” Who the hell are you? Are you even educated in the dental field, well I am!! So I have every right to state my opinion and facts about dentistry. Did I say all abscesses lead to death? No! And you are an idiot because after the nerve dies it still needs to be treated, you will get relief if there is a fistula, a draining pus tract. It doesn’t mean your body healed it, its a chronic infection until treated. Get more educated before you come at me or post anything regarding dental.

        We all know that things read on the internet need to be taken with a grain of salt and a lot of research. However, just because you are educated in the dental field does NOT mean you know everything either. You are educated with what the college and ADA decide you need to know, often what the pharmaceutical industry decides they want you to preach. Western Medicine has a bit of a reputation as being corrupt and out for the highest bidding drug company. The dental portion of that is in the same boat. Just look at the Fluoride issue…. There is no need to swear at people on a blog. If you don’t care for what you read, you can leave a kind message expressing your concern without getting so upset, and you certainly don’t need to swear at Pilan.

    I think I missed it, or maybe it wasn’t mentioned, but are there some guidelines about how much to give of the FCLO & Butter Oil? What I need specifically is a chart for the oils, not the capsules-for kids ages 0-18 & adults. Thanks for sharing this success story! If anyone had any comments on advanced dental decay in adults, I would also be so appreciative!

    Never believe articles from uneducated writers that have no dental background!!!!!!! First of all where are any scientific facts?? DO you know what type of lawsuit you are setting yourself up for? Tooth decay can lead to abscesses which can lead to death if not treated appropriately by a dentist!!!
    This is a dangerous and a misleading article! Tooth decay is bacteria that has eaten through the hardest substance in your body, enamel, and has to be drilled out and filled. If left untreated it will go deeper into the second layer of the tooth, dentin, then into the middle of the tooth, the pulp and infect the nerve, thus resulting in a root canal. IF left untreated, this trapped bacteria can cause swelling of the facial tissue and neck, which is called Ludwig’s angina, and block the airway and could result in death. This article is beyond absurd

          I don’t think this article is absurd in the least. It fits with my family’s experience. My dentist has been impressed that I healed my cavities using unrefined coconut oil and essential oils instead of commercial toothpastes which contain glycerin. Because our whole bodies, teeth included, are nourished with healthy food and because we use non-glycerin-containing tooth “paste” which allows our saliva to heal our teeth, my children and I have healthy mouths. I learned from friends who have done the same, from Dr. Weston A. Price’s research and information, and from the book Cure Tooth Decay. As always, Kelly, thank you for all of the information you present to us, which allows us to learn more.

      My last dentist (we’ve moved 1000 miles away, or she would still be my dentist) recommended FCLO, oil pulling, low sugar, WAPF-style diet, and 10% peroxide once or twice a day (for my gums). She does not use fluoride in her practice. So, yes, there are real, licensed, practicing, dentists using this protocol. Because it works. By the way, she made the same recommendations, minus the peroxide (no need) and oil pulling (kids too little to do so) for my kids.

    OK thanks Kelly!!

    I took my daughter back to the dentist today for her fourth (!) filling. It was a bad one and she removed as much decay as possible but couldn’t clean it out completely because that would have exposed the nerve. She told me she wanted to put a filling over the top of it that contained slow-release fluoride to promote healing in the tooth. I said no and asked for just a plain filling. I got the courage to do this from having read this article yesterday!!! She wants us to come back in six months because she is sure this tooth will have to eventually be extracted or have root canal work done. I want to prove her wrong!! I want to give my daughter the fclo and butter oil and heal the tooth. Do you think this is possible even though there is some decay still in the tooth under the filling??

    Also, what dose of fclo and butter oil would you give? She is eleven and is not petite.

    Adina, what dose were you giving your little boy??

    Thankyou all so much for your help, it was such a blessing that I read this story yesterday before going to the dentist today. She really looked down on us for using herbal toothpaste and that is what she blames all this on.

    Thanks Kelly. I am wondering how do you know if butter is pastured? I suppose I could buy a product and then contact the company?? Is that what you would suggest?
    Also, if the butter is pasteurised (as all butter is in this country), does that negate it’s benefit? I would imagine such high heat could damage/kill the x factor? I cannot get raw butter around here anywhere, not even from the lady I buy raw milk from on a farm (she only milks one cow and there is not enough left over cream to make butter). Actually that leads me to this question, is cream just as beneficial as butter as it has the same ingrediants?? So we would be getting the x factor in our fresh cow’s milk?? Possibly???
    thanks and may God continue to bless all your helpful work!

    • KitchenKop says

      February 18, 2013 at 11:34 AM

      Yes, for sure on the raw milk question. 🙂 As far as pasteurized milk and the x factor, I’m pretty sure it’s still there as long as it’s from pastured cows! How to know if it’s pastured? Unless it says so on the package (like Kerrygold), it’s most likely not. Or not 100% anyway. When we’re not using Kerrygold, we buy butter that I know the cows are at least pastured part of the time, and I called the company to feel them out.

      Thank you for your blessings, and same to you!

    Hi Adina, thankyou for sharing! I was just wondering what your diet kind of looks like?? We’ve had to cut back on our really healthy diet as it was sending us broke. So now we do eat more processed foods than we used to and I’m just wondering whether the cod liver oil and butter oil would work for my kids seeing as our diet isn’t optimal? What do you think?? I worry that if I spend the money on the oils the processed food might negate the benefits. May I ask what sought of bread you were spreading the butter on???

    Also, where does anyone buy skate liver oil??? Does it really replace CLO and butter oil?? Bonus to me as we simply can’t afford these oils in Australia (a bottle of FCLO here is $67 and butter oil is over $80). When you have a number of kids these supplements are simply unaffordable in this country. I would love to do what I can though.

    Thanks again!

      Nicole, one thing you could do is just get the CLO and then eat plenty of pastured butter with it (not necessarily the butter oil). And if that’s all you could do, I still think that’s way better than NOT doing it, no matter what you’re eating. Yes, a more healthful diet would be better, but at least taking that would help.

      I’ve also heard of putting it in smoothies for kids. Seems like chocolate or orange could work well for that. Haven’t tried it personally, though. I can say that I wasn’t happy with the emulsified ginger flavor. It required soooo much stirring every time that we just never took it. Could just be us, or perhaps we weren’t doing something correctly.

        We just started on the CLO with Butter oil (chocolate flavor) and I put it in a smoothie for my daughter. I blend 1/2 banana with about 3 or 4 oz of homemade kefir and a little orange juice and 1/2 tsp of the oil. She drinks that 3 times a day. So far so good. Really hoping her cavity heals, it’s near the nerve and they want to do a baby root canal on it.

      Have you tried making ghee to see how you do with that instead of regular butter? When you heat butter to almost a simmer stage in a pot, the milk solids separate from the butter oil, so that you can pour the oil off/strain it into a jar. It lasts forever without the milk solids and the milk protein is no longer present. Also, my understanding is that skate liver oil is fairly comparable to cod liver oil, nutritionally. Might be interesting to look into.

            I personally just take the skate liver oil, as I understand it is a replacement for CLO + high vitamin butter oil. The only downside is that it has a stronger taste than the CLO. Here’s how I take it: hold my breath, put the skate liver oil in my mouth, chug some milk (raw of course), then put a drop of another essential oil in my mouth like wild orange … then finally breath again. No fishy taste whatsoever!! Need to be careful with the essential oil as they are strong, and be sure to only use therapeutic grade (doTerra, Young Living, etc). If using something like peppermint or cinnamon, most certainly would need to dilute those in oil, preferably coconut.
