Cure Tooth Decay: Heal and Prevent Cavities with Nutrition
(Second Edition)
by by Ramiel Nagel (Author), Timothy Gallagher (Foreword)
ISBN: 978-1434810601  Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (November 11, 2010)
$25.63 252 pages, paperback

Description of Book:

This book is the number two best-selling book in dentistry. Sure to be controversial with dentists, many consumers are reading it, and it would be wise for you to find out what they are reading. Here is the description given by the publisher:

"Forget about drilling, filling, and the inevitable billing. Your teeth can heal naturally because they were never designed to decay in the first place! They were designed to remain strong and healthy for your entire life. But the false promises of conventional dentistry have led us down the wrong path, leading to invasive surgical treatments that include fillings, crowns, root canals and dental implants.

"Now there is a natural way to take control of your dental health by changing the food that you eat. Cure Tooth Decay is based upon the pioneering nutritional program of dentist Weston Price, former head of research at the National Dental Association. Dr. Price's program proved to be 90-95% or more effective in remineralizing tooth cavities utilizing only nutritional improvements in the diet. Cure Tooth Decay is the result of five years of research and trial and error that started as one father's journey to cure his daughter's rapidly progressing tooth decay."
