Fluoride strengthens teeth and prevents decay. End of story. Except it isn’t quite the end. Fluoride does reduce tooth decay. It can help minerals move back into early areas of damaged enamel, make the tooth surface more resistant to acid, and reduce acid production by some oral bacteria. These effects are real and are the reason fluoride has become such a familiar part of modern dentistry. But fluoride does not remain exclusively on the surface...]]></description><link>https://www.theprimaldentist.com/post/fluoride-beyond-the-tooth</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ac3594dd58d9f1079b84f5a</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2026 08:02:17 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/62afa0_1cddd3169f0c42f5a8128af0e83587cf~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Evelyn W</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vitamin K2: The Forgotten Nutrient Behind Teeth, Bones and Jaws]]></title><description><![CDATA[Crooked teeth? Narrow jaws? Impacted wisdom teeth? For years, the standard explanation has been simple: it’s genetic. Genes certainly matter. They provide the blueprint for how our faces, jaws and teeth develop. But a blueprint is only the beginning. Growing a human face also requires nutrients, hormones, muscle forces, breathing, chewing—and the raw materials needed to build bone and teeth. And this is where an intriguing nutrient enters the story: vitamin K2. The mystery of the shrinking...]]></description><link>https://www.theprimaldentist.com/post/vitamin-k2-the-forgotten-nutrient-behind-teeth-bones-and-jaws</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ac358d70ef081bd57380389</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2026 08:00:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/62afa0_ff8ad6f03f1147f8b244e605b6fe64bd~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Evelyn W</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Emulsifiers: We Put Detergent in Toothpaste. Why?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Oil and water don't mix. Industry fixed that problem with emulsifiers and surfactants—molecules designed to interact with both water and fats. They keep processed foods creamy, cosmetics smooth and toothpaste nicely blended. Very clever chemistry. But there's a catch. Your mouth and gut are not mixing bowls. They are living biological surfaces protected by cell membranes, mucus, saliva and communities of microorganisms. So perhaps we should be asking a more uncomfortable question: What...]]></description><link>https://www.theprimaldentist.com/post/emulsifiers-we-put-detergent-in-toothpaste-why</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ac358177c75b835e271ec59</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2026 07:56:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/62afa0_c6fdfe519daa468c9a385ac08d6b79a0~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Evelyn W</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
