Dr Hyun Bang’s Personal Choices for

Stronger Enamel and Alkaline Mouth

Topical vitamin and mineral boost

CHARCOAL naturally removes toxins caused by inflammation
BLACK SEED is known to be ANTI-VIRAL and ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
BENTONITE CLAY contains minerals that our enamel needs to be strong

The way I use it: mix all three or in twos, or rotate them one at a time.

Facts to consider:

• mouth is lined with mucosa. things absorb through the mucosa easier than skin.

• commercial toothpastes contain chemicals which are chemically abrasive to the teeth and gums, and also can be toxic to the body, even carcinogenic.

• charcoal is a mild abrasive and used consistently long term can be hard on the enamel, while being an excellent adsorbent of toxins, and have both oral and systemic benefits of detox.

• charcoal can detox the environment it is in, therefore promoting alkalinity in the mouth.

• bentonite clay has a remineralizing effect, due to a plethora of natural mineral content, along with benefits of oral and systemic detox.

• bentonite clay can detox the environment it is in, therefore promoting alkalinity.

• both charcoal and bentonite clay food grade can be ingested - they are known dietary supplements.

• reading all ingredients in any product is key to avoiding harmful chemicals.

• chemicals contained in non-natural commercial toothpastes should not be ingested and can be poisonous (it will also ask you to go to the poison center on the package if you do).

• the harmful bacteria in the mouth will wear down the bone and gums. changing the oral environment to become less friendly to these bad pathogenic microorganisms is key to a healthy mouth and moreover body.

A few studies:

A study on charcoal infused toothbrush bristles reducing plaque more effectively.
This study shows charcoal does not cause surface roughness, but it should never be combined with regular commercial toothpastes (colgate, crest etc which already contain abrasive chemicals).

Detoxing the Mouth:

Coconut or Hardwood Activated Charcoal is a digestive aid. It sticks to toxins and never lets it go. If ingested, it is helpful to detox the digestive system. It has been known to help with various digestive issues, and since the gut is the primary lymphatic organ of the body, it helps with sicknesses like colds, flus, and have been proven to be effective with controlling COVID induced cytokine storms.

Remineralizing the Enamel

More Anti-microbial Remedies:

External (in the mouth)
Oregano Oil + Water Rinse: 1-2drops in 12oz of water diluated/mixed well. Rinse and gargle as needed 15-30 seconds at a time and spit
Oregano Oil + Coconut Oil: 1 drop to 1-2 tablespoon or even less oregano if it is strong for some. Rinse for up to 60 minutes and spit
(alternatives if cannot find oregano oil are eucalyptus, clove, peppermint)

Internal (for consumption)
Raw Garlic crushed (chewed) + Echinacea Tincture few drops: taken together has a synergy of anti-microbial effect.
Charcoal + Ginger powder + 1 cup warm water: Mix and drink. OK to swish the mouth while drinking. Detoxes the gut and the mouth both increasing body’s immunity’s ability to control infection.
Turmeric + Coconut milk: anti-inflammatory drink

Internal Vitamin and Mineral boost

Topical application of paste or gel on the teeth is already a common practice by many. But internal mineral boost is not something that crosses the mind of most. Our teeth are not just hard objects but are vital structures with blood vessels supplying nutrition to it.

Put simply, the main four functions of the pulp are
1. formation of dentin
2. nutrition of the dentin
3. innervation of the tooth
4. defense of the tooth
…which functions to wash away toxins and bacteria.

This means with proper nutritional intake, our enamel can also be healthier. High calcium, silica, phosphorus and magnesium plant-based foods is most ideal to supply the minerals.
