Cavities are caused by tooth enamel breakdown due to bacteria, sugar, and acid exposure. While professional dental care is always recommended for serious decay, there are natural strategies that can help strengthen teeth, prevent further damage, and support remineralization.

1. Increase Calcium and Phosphorus Intake

Why it helps: These minerals are essential for rebuilding and strengthening enamel.
Sources:

Dairy products: milk, cheese, yogurt

Leafy greens: kale, spinach

Nuts and seeds: almonds, sesame seeds

2. Use Fluoride or Natural Alternatives

Why it helps: Fluoride promotes remineralization of weakened enamel. If you prefer natural options:

Mineral-rich clays (like bentonite clay) in toothpaste

Green tea, which contains natural fluoride

3. Oil Pulling
