Dental Health and Raw Food

Hi Tonya, I'm thankful that I've received a September letter: I was on vacation and my office computer, probably diverted the e-mail the first time. I have couple of notes about dental health and raw food. Last year my dentist told me that my teeth are moving, which was not a good thing, for several reasons, and one of them was that just a few months before that I've finished 1.5 years of Invisalign [braces]. After that visit I was faithfully on raw food for 2 months. My next appointment confirmed that my teeth are not moving anymore.

The other interesting fact was that I've noticed a difference in color and amount of "stuff" I had to remove when disassembling and cleaning my electric brush. Before, this "stuff" was black, now it can barely be seen, just a pale yellow hue. It reminded me of a situation that came up when my daughter was 3 years old, and I had to explain to her about bad and good bacteria. I told her that bad bacteria are black and good bacteria are pink (girls at that age are all about pink). That's why we wash our hands before eating, to get rid of the bad bacteria and only leave the pink color on the hands. Now, looking at the pale yellow hew of this bacterial colony it seems to me that it is not as harmful as the previous dark collection.
