[quote=njtosd][quote=scaredyclassic]Turmeric actually whitens teeth. No coffee or wine seems like less staining.

I’ve been reading a lot of dental health books and literature. I never really thought of my teeth as living things. More like dead bone. The mouth is a pretty complex little system. The dullness of teeth is not turmeric…it’s a lack of nutrition.

I’m very excited for my next dental visit on July 1. I am hoping and planning for tremendous improvement in gum pocket readings. It is interesting to have such a measure able indicator to work on…[/quote]

Amazing. Shows the value of being able to measure something.[/quote]

It’s true. It’s measured in millimeters, and each one is critical. Loose gums means loose teeth. People don’t lose teeth to decay, they lose them from bad gums and bone. I can already feel they’ve tightened up some. When there is no measurement, it saps the will…feels,like progress is unknowable or impossible.
