I developed mild scurvy (I assume it was scurvy) while on cooked zero carb a couple of years ago. The teeth themselves are ok, but I have receded gum lines now. What foods are recommended to heal this? raw ZC or raw Low Carb is the question. I think raw omnivorous diet makes my teeth/gums better but zero carb makes my skin and hair better and less oily. I think the problems with my teeth on zero carb is from a lack of fresh organ meats. I think the best diet for me is a carnivore diet where the majority of meat comes from organs not muscle meat. Grass fed organ meats are incredibly hard to come get a hold of though.
I also have alot of yellow hard tartar on the base of the teeth around the gums from when I ate cooked foods (it stopped building up since eating raw, but what was there is stuck like cement). Is it possible to get rid of this without a (costly) trip to the dentist? I'd think it's worsening my tooth/gum health despite my better diet.
4 ways--
1. Go to a dental school. You can get low-cost cleanings.
2. There are often very cheap dental clinics for the poor. Call your local Social Services office to find out.
3. Get a dental tool at the local pharmacy and CAREFULLY remove the tartar yourself. Use a mirror and good lighting.
4. Rub strawberry on your tartar and/or eat papaya. They both remove tartar, particularly papaya.
I recommend the first or second one. But, whatever.
