Bad Tooth part 2

I am trying to heal a bad tooth. So in addition to oil pulling, I am clean eating. Basically, I am trying to eat as many foods 'whole' as I can. Vegetables and fruits are especially important. But, contrary to popular belief, so is fat. This past week I stumbled across a website that helps you find local raw milk. It is called the Real Milk Finder. So on Saturday, I drove to the nearest farm and picked up my REAL raw milk. There is a good 3 inches of cream on the top of it. I haven't tried it yet, but I think I'll put it in my breakfast smoothie today.
Another important factor in my tooth healing experiment is taking a multivitamin. The recommended daily serving is 4 vitamins. I am taking one a day just as a booster, in case I am not getting all that I need. I take only whole food vitamins- which means the vitamins and minerals are coming from food, not from a factory. Currently I am taking Garden of Life brand, Vitamin Code.

BAD tooth :(

So I have a bad tooth. It has always bothered me. There is a slight gap between it and the next tooth. I always get food stuck in there, especially chicken and pork. When I used to floss, it would get caught on something and always rip. Ugh, the struggle of a bad tooth. Well about 4 months ago I was eating a egg and cheese croissant. That's relatively soft, right? I guess not soft enough because all of a sudden, crunch! I bit on something hard - a piece of my tooth! How could a chunk of tooth just fall out? At the time I chocked it up to being a filling that was old and had just fallen out, but now I'm wondering if it was an actual piece of tooth.

Anyway, I finally got an appointment at my dentist. (That is another annoying story) He does a couple x-rays and tells me, "You need a root canal. Now."

Oh. My. Gosh. A root canal? So I made the appointment right away.
But then I started doing research. Wait, root canals are bad? Toxic? I cancelled that appointment and began to oil pull.

It's been 10 days since I began oil pulling. I am no longer feeling pain in my bad tooth. After oil pulling my teeth feel so clean. And my bad tooth feels nice and solid.

ACV Vinegar Update

Today is my 5th consistent day of drinking 1-2 tsp ACV (apple cider vinegar) in an 8 oz glass of water. I drink it when I wake up, after I do my 15 minutes of oil pulling.
I may have mentioned this before, but am I at the point now where I actually smell it and crave it. I am no longer grossed out by the taste or smell. I don't add anything else to it either, just water and ACV. It seems to give me more energy. And, added bonus, it makes my teeth feel super clean!

The oil pulling I am doing as a separate "experiment."
