Recommendation for your oral care:

Your question on demineralization of teeth is a very big issue particularly in pitta vata people. Due to oral cavity we have possible accumulation of the following kind of material:

Malas are naturally produced by the body during transformation of fat (meda) to bone (asthi). Also some shastras (ayurvedic texts) say that oral malas are produced during transformation of bone to bone marrow. According to Ayurveda these malas get deposited in the teeth, gum and tongue, so any amount of flossing and cleaning doesn't get rid of the residue of food in the teeth. When we don't do anything to get rid of these malas they sit there and create ama visha (reactive biological toxins), thus impact the mineralization process because these toxins are very acidic and acid starts to leach out the calcium from the teeth. No matter how much mineral we eat or put in our mouth it doesn't help. If the body is also acidic then there's a problem in the metabolic process of transformation of fat to bone or bone to bone marrow. Both produce more malas in quantity and it can make ama visha of these malas. All this can take away the alkalinity of the oral cavity and de-mineralize teeth. The residue of food and toxic feelings also adds up to this crisis. So now you can see how Ayurveda helps with this.

Ayurveda recommends the care of the colon to start with, where the first raw material rasa dhatu (clear part of the plasma) is produced.

We have to do something to target the support transformation of fat to bone and bone to bone marrow, then local oral care can help. Vaidya Mishra's high calcium toothpaste is designed for this crisis.

High ratio of Praval (oral calcium) helps to alkalize the oral cavity and gum. The micro molecules of praval help re-mineralize the calcium in the teeth and whole oral mucosa.

Fennel & Rose pacify the reactivity of amavisha.

Bentonite clay, babool and gum acacia bind the toxins and take them out when you rinse after brushing.

Gymnema neutralizes any residue of glucose and sugar so that it does not create extra acidity overnight in the oral cavity.

Regarding your bowel movement, if you have less or no problem with constipation you can have 1 or 2 tablets of High Pitta Triphala™ before bedtime or 1 -2 tablets of Triphala. Depending on your bowel movement you can also try our new mild SVA Lax.

And if any of these don't help please consult with your SVA Ayurvedic Practitioner (refer to the list of practitioners on Vaidya Mishra's website at www.vaidyamishra.com under the tab practitioners).

To rid the teeth stains for whiter teeth please try Vaidya Mishra's Herb Rich Toothpaste. For maintaining good health follow the SVA diet. With a good diet you can prevent cavities, but if you already have cavities please see your dentist.
