Supplements For Children With Gross Caries | What is Holistic

Children with gross caries can be difficult to treat in the dentist’s chair. Prevention is the best remedy, hence Brunswick Holistic Dental Centre has researched and recommends the following suggestions and supplements to improve your child’s chances of regaining and maintaining healthy dentition.
 
Firstly it is very important to instill good dental hygiene practices in your child. See your dentist for the best techniques for flossing and brushing.
 
For topical non-invasive treatment of caries, we recommend Topacal, a benign derivative of cow’s milk that is recommended to remineralise at-risk teeth. (Ask your dentist for more information).
 
A healthy and balanced diet is imperative in ensuring the proper development of healthy adult teeth and gums, so the less sweet and /or acidic foods and drinks consumed the better. Nutritious amounts of complete protein, complex carbohydrates and poly/monounsaturated fats should be consumed on a regular basis (in accordance with Australian recommendations).

To supplement your child’s intake of calcium and other essential nutrients we recommend:
 
REPAREN:  A monobasic calcium biphosphate compound that is beneficial not only for the development of teeth but excellent for growing bones and tissue. This supplement is harmless to children as it is taken in a biologically compatible and ionic formation that allows absorption along the entire small intestine (not specifically at the limited calcium receptors in the duodenum) and is naturally inhibited if intake is sufficient by the body’s endocrine system. Reparen is clinically proven to improve bone condition and adult tooth growth in children.
Reparren is also safe for pregnant women to use who want a head start on tooth formation in vitro.


SILICA: As a supplement, we recommend colloidal silica, a derivative of equisetum arvens, or Horsetail. This herb has extremely high levels of salycylic acid and has indeed been used for centuries to encourage connective tissue coagulation and growth. However, horsetail has other compounds that deplete B vitamin levels, hence we recommend the extract only. Colloidal formulations are naturally absorbed well in a usable form by the body.
 
Silica is also a great booster for connective tissue growth and bone and tooth improvement. The gums and associate tissue benefit greatly from a diet high in silica. Vegies are especially good, including lettuce, celery and other green leafy vegies.
 
VITAMIN C: It is also recommended that a child with vulnerabilities to caries, periodontitis or other pathogenic factors take a high quality vitamin C complex. We recommend Eagle beta A-C as this is an easily absorbed and high quality product that works well as a complex to give the antioxident and healing benefits to the system.
