My teeth haven't been sensitive till about a month ago and now that I look in the mirror I can actually see exposed dentin on two of the teeth on the left side of my mouth! Those two teeth I have to brush crazy slow cause if I just barely touch a bristle to the exposed part it hurts like you have no idea.
I think my date eating has caused a little bit of this. I usually eat dates before bed and I have noticed my teeth turning sensitive as I eat them or briefly after eating them. I eat them whole by the way.
I also eat about ten oranges everyday as well. I haven't felt my teeth get sensitive while eating those, but I do blend my oranges with my greens so maybe that helps.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to improve my teeth and hopefully grow back my enamel? I really don't want to give up my oranges and dates. They are a big part of my diet and if I took them out I'd pretty much turn into a banana only guy.
I really hope this improves. There are a few people who are really betting on this diet to hurt me in some way and I don't want to give them any satisfaction.

Permalink Reply by Chris R. on Not sure if this constitutes "ripening" or rotting, lol, but ANY pineapples in the store here are all hard and mostly green. I bring them home and after at least a week, sometimes a week and a half, they start to become soft and a small bit of mold may appear under the very bottom on the outside. At this point the color is a light brown and they're most always perfect inside. I just cut a good inch off the top and half inch off the bottom. I don't even get the tingly tongue. So I basically let them "ripen" to a point where most would have thought they are on their way out.

Permalink Reply by Yuliya Ⓥ on Actually I noticed that oranges do get a lot sweeter after a week or two being stored in room temperature. I never even eat them immediately after purchase anymore.
Not that I would recommend them to anyone with teeth issues anyway.
Permalink Reply by Dr Gosia O'Reilly on My observation too. Same with pineapple.
Permalink Reply by Rawfruitygoddess on really ripe oranges should be heavy in your hand,and have a darker orange rind and firm skin generally with no green near wear the stem was .Ask to taste test to be sure.I prefer to go to either the grower directly or to the one reputable organic shop i know of,and the owner Clinton knows what ripe fruit is meant to look and taste like.
Permalink Reply by Brian on I was brushing hard before I turned LFRV. I definitely brush slow and soft now so no worries there.
Yeah, even though oranges are amazing they tend to be a real gamble. When you buy your produce by the case it's very hard to know if all your fruit is ripe and ready. Oranges are hard to determine if they are ripe to begin with. You have to actually cut them open and then taste.

Permalink Reply by Diospyros on xylitol is a natural sugar that also happens to to help get rid of the bad bacteria in the mouth, so it's good.
Permalink Reply by Morgan on I wouldn't eat xylitol, personally, b/c it's man-made (factory produced) chemical.
DR had something to say about it in his vid on youtube about David Wolfe (the one addressing how DWolfe said something about having a fruit habit is like having a cocaine habit.)
DR said xylitol's made in a factory, it's a white powder, etc.
It's a chemical and I know there are some who are sensitive to it (those w/ digestive issues, in particular.) My son has issues w/ it.
