I Have Recently Lost Five Stone, But I Fear My Diet Is Rotting My Teeth. What Minerals Should I Be Taking?

Q.

Hi,

I have been following a famous diet plan for the last three years and attend its classes. I have successfully lost five stone but I have noticed that in the last three years my teeth have deteriorated, I’ve had to have three back teeth removed, have one crown and I’m now suffering toothache and crumbling teeth in my last back tooth. I’ve also noticed my front teeth getting weaker and feeling sharp parts of my tongue. Could this be due to the diet I’m following? Am I possibly lacking vitamins? I’m only 33 and really worried about losing my teeth. Up until three years ago I had pretty good teeth.

Thank you, any information yo can provide will be helpful.

Are my teeth deteriorating because of my diet?

Q.
I feel so unlucky with my teeth, I have had several fillings when younger, so I always try to look after and clean my teeth well. Even using an electris toothbrush. I have just broken a peice off a preiviously filled molar tooth, I thought that there would be an alternative but my dentist has removed it saying it was too soft. But my real worry is that I have receding gums in the front, My dentist does clean them or flush them! and gives me cleaning instructions but I really don’t think this is the problem as they have never bled when cleaned and do not look like the pictures of gum disease, Please Help what can I do, the possibility of loosing them is my worst nightmare, could my diet be to blame or the fact I am on the depo injection,

Q.
Hi, I have always had problems with my teeth, and to be honest i am not the most efficient on dental hygiene. 6 years ago i had a motorcycle accident and lost the front 6 top teeth and these have been replaced by dentures ( plate ). Since then the rest of my teeth have began to deteriorate. I would like most of them, if not all removed and replaced with implants. What would you recommend? thank you,
