🦷 If I had a cavity, here is EXACTLY how I would reverse it

Here’s exactly what I’d do and what I would eat if I had a small cavity I wanted to reverse.

Cavities aren’t permanent. Your teeth are living tissues designed to repair themselves in a process called remineralization—where minerals like calcium and phosphate, delivered through your saliva, are redeposited into your enamel.

But be aware—for this process to work, your body needs the right conditions.

The best time to start is right after a professional dental cleaning. Once the tartar (and the harmful bacteria it harbors) is cleared away, your teeth are primed for healing.

1. I would start my day with this oral microbiome friendly tea
Every morning before breakfast, I’d scrape my tongue twice. This simple habit removes harmful biofilms and clears the way for beneficial bacteria to thrive.

Next, I’d drink a cup of green tea (like Pu’rer made by Pique which is triple toxin-screened). Both are rich in polyphenols that reduce cavity-causing bacteria while supporting the beneficial microbes your oral microbiome depends on.

2. I would take Mag Breakthrough every night
Magnesium is critical for reversing cavities. Without it, your body struggles to absorb calcium and phosphate—two key minerals your enamel needs to rebuild itself.

I take Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers every night. I take this brand and this brand only because it’s one of the few magnesium supplements that includes all seven forms the body needs for these critical cellular processes. Beyond supporting your teeth, it’s also been great for improving sleep, managing stress, and boosting overall health.

3. I would eat these meals on repeat
If I had a small cavity, I’d focus on meals loaded with fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K2), calcium, and prebiotic-rich veggies. These would be my go-to recipes:

Breakfast:
Cheesy Veggie Scramble

• 2 pasture-raised eggs (vitamin D)
• 1/4 cup grated real cheddar cheese (calcium)
• 1/4 cup sautéed bok choy and onions (prebiotics)
• 1 tsp olive oil

Cook the veggies first, then scramble in the eggs and cheese for a nutrient-packed start to the day.

Lunch:
Japanese Yam with Ghee and Garlic + Tricolore Salad

• 1 medium Japanese yam, roasted and topped with 1 tbsp ghee (vitamin K2) and minced garlic.
• A salad of arugula, radicchio, frisée, and 1/4 cup sauerkraut for prebiotics and probiotics.

Dinner:
Ancestral Beef Blend Meatballs with Bok Choy and Mushrooms

• 1 lb ancestral organ meat + beef blend (e.g., Force of Nature)
• 1 egg, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
• 2 cups sautéed bok choy and 1 cup mushrooms cooked in olive oil.

4. I would test my oral microbiome
A professional cleaning clears the slate, making it the perfect time to reset your oral microbiome.

Here’s how I’d protect it:

• Floss daily: Floss twice a day. My favorite manual floss is Radius or Dr. Tung’s. Favorite electric flosser is Slate (code ASKTHEDENTIST10)
• Use an oral probiotic: The Fygg Probiotic Mint supports healthy bacteria in your mouth.
• Test your microbiome: Use Bristle (code DRB) to track your progress and identify bacterial imbalances.
• Clean oral appliances: If you wear a retainer or night guard, clean it daily with the Dental Pod Pro (code ASKTHEDENTIST) with no tablets—just water—to avoid reintroducing harmful bacteria.

5. I’d focus on hydration because saliva is a tooth’s best friend
Your saliva is one of your body’s most powerful tools for healing cavities. It neutralizes acid and delivers minerals like calcium and phosphate directly to your enamel.

I’d stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and adding electrolytes like magnesium and potassium to support saliva production.

6. I would mouth tape every night
Mouth breathing while you sleep dries out your mouth and reduces saliva flow, which weakens your teeth’s natural defenses. I’d use mouth tape every night to encourage nasal breathing, which keeps saliva levels balanced and protects your teeth while you sleep.

7. I would cut out snacking entirely (the hard truth)
Every time you eat, your mouth becomes acidic for up to 30 minutes. Snacking throughout the day doesn’t give your teeth time to recover, making remineralization almost impossible.
If I wanted to reverse a cavity, I’d stick to 2-3 meals a day and avoid snacking. That includes anything except for water or this particular oral microbiome friendly tea.

Your teeth are designed to heal themselves—it’s just a matter of tipping the balance in your favor.

Reduce the factors that cause demineralization (like frequent snacking and sugary foods) and focus on supporting remineralization with nutrients, hydration, and oral microbiome care.

Magnesium is at the core of this process, which is why I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers as a foundation for both oral and overall health.
