Question about the enamel in my teeth?

Posted on July 11, 2010

My doctor recommended I take 2 teaspoons of olive oil mixed with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice daily for something. (Don't ask)

Anyways I know that the acidity is bad for my teeth and I'm wondering if gargling milk right after will protect the enamel? What other things can i do to help the enamel after having acid-to-tooth contact whenever I drink something acidic?

Thanks. This is really important. I'm already using a straw.

How can I get rid of gingivitis without a dentist?

Posted on July 10, 2010

and without getting rid of my teeth...lol

I've been trying olive oil, cloves, ginger, saline solution, listerine, going easy on sugary stuff (swishing water or mouthwash afterwards) and eating gently (mostly avoid tough foods), and careful flossing (the lack of doing so is what caused the gingivitis, I think...'cause I was religious about brushing)

I've had it for months now, and it's only improved a little...I don't have dental insurance... :(
