At one time it was common for me to have a few cavity fillings every year. Root canals was something I was familiar with also, sadly.
That all changed when I removed wheat/gluten from my diet along with taking vitamin D3 and vitamin K2. Since i did those things 5 years ago, I haven't had a cavity since. My gum health is wonderful also. Overall my dentist was amazed. He has mentioned a couple times that he has never had a patient improve as much as I have. He might be a little sad also as Dr. Hill made a nice living on me and my bad teeth. We used to joke about dedicating a chair with my name on it.
Saw this doctors article the other day that had a mention about dental cavities and wheat. From my experience, I'm thinking there might be something to it.
