Can Colloidal
Silver Help Re-Mineralize Damaged Tooth Enamel?
At least one
man says colloidal silver is not only healing his tooth infection, but re-mineralizing
the damaged tooth enamel, as well.
His
experience, described below, coincides nicely with the work of Dr. Robert O.
Becker, M.D., who found that electrically generated silver ions have the power
to trigger bone growth and re-mineralization…
Hi,
Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com...
Here's
an interesting testimonial on colloidal silver and the re-mineralization of
decayed tooth enamel, which I found on a tooth decay
website:
“Two and a half weeks ago I noticed two cavities high up in my
front teeth. Both were brown and unsightly, and I was kicking myself for not
noticing them before and brushing my teeth more carefully. The gums had also
receded above them.
One of the cavities was particularly deep and exceptionally
sensitive to the sharp end of a pair of scissors I several times placed against
it.
As I have had amazing success in the past curing all kinds of
problems with colloidal silver, I searched on Google to see whether there was a
natural way of curing my two cavities, and I learned for the first time that
teeth could naturally re-mineralize.
I decided to brush my teeth regularly throughout the day,
particularly after meals and taking special care to spray the damaged areas
with colloidal silver.
I was not particularly hopeful, but I dreaded going to the
dentist. The last time I went was 24 years ago for a cavity-fill high up on
another front tooth. The drilling was excruciatingly painful at the time and
the tooth far more sensitive to pressure after the operation than before.
Well, after a week I started noticing some tiny signs of whiteness
against the brown. I thought that maybe I simply hadn't noticed it before.
Now, another week on, I can clearly see new white bone growing in
both cavities.
I'm simply amazed. Every day I notice a small improvement. At this
rapid rate, I guess both my teeth could fully recover in a month's time, even
though I'm 52.
I thank God for what I am still experiencing as a kind of miracle,
especially given the intensive dental propaganda regarding the need to drill
and fill.
If my experience is at all typical, then I can only say: Woe to
you dentists who deliberately conceal from your clients the naturally curative
properties of human teeth once properly cared for.
And blessed indeed are those persecuted for attempting to get the
truth out!"
-- Timothy D., Surrey, UK
I
find the above testimonial fascinating, because it was the work of Dr. Robert
O. Becker, MD back in the 1970's that first alerted the world to the idea that
electrically generated silver ions can be used not just to heal bone and tissue
infections…
…but also to stimulate
the re-growth and re-mineralization of injured bone that had otherwise
refused to heal.
If
silver can trigger re-mineralization of bone, would that also apply also to
re-mineralization of tooth enamel? The
idea is intriguing!
Let’s
take a look at some of the evidence for silver’s ability to trigger
re-mineralization of bone and heal bone non-unions:
Healing Bone
Non-Unions With Silver
In
one case, Dr. Becker was astonished when he attempted to use electrically
generated silver ions to heal the infection in a patient’s horrifically
infected leg bone and tissue wound.
He
had expected the infected bone to recede as the microbes were killed by the
electrically generated silver ions.
Instead,
he discovered that not only were all of the pathogens killed, but new tissue
and new bone began to grow in, creating a strong union in the bone where
previously there had been none.
As
Dr. Becker later recounted:
“...I debrided the wound, removing the dead tissue and all
grossly infected or dead bone.
There wasn’t
much left afterward. It was an enormous excavation running almost from his knee
to his ankle.
In the
operating room we soaked a big piece of silver nylon in saline solution and
laid it over the wound...wrapped the leg, and connected the battery unit.
By the end of
the week...all of our bacterial cultures were sterile.”
Dr. Becker
continued:
“The soft
healing tissue, called granulation tissue, was spreading out and covering the
bone.
In two weeks,
the whole base of the wound, which had over eight square inches of raw bone,
was covered by this friendly pink carpet.
The skin was
beginning to grow in too, so we could forget about the grafts we thought we’d
need to do…
…I decided to
take an X-ray to see how much bone he’d lost…I could hardly believe the
picture. There was clearly some bone re-growth!
I removed the
cast, felt the leg, and found that the pieces were all stuck together.
The patient
watched, and when I was done he lifted his leg into the air triumphantly. I’d
never so much enjoyed being wrong.”
More Studies By Dr. Becker
Demonstrate
Bone Healing By Silver Ions
This
success in healing a bone non-union led Dr. Becker to do numerous studies on the
healing and regenerative properties of electrically generated silver ions.
In
his 1978 clinical study titled, "Treatment of Orthopaedic
Infections With Electrically Generated Silver Ions,"
which was published in the Journal of
Bone and Joint Surgery…
…Dr.
Becker demonstrated once again that silver not only healed osteomyelitis (i.e.,
a serious bone infection), but also re-mineralized and healed the broken,
damaged bone to boot!
Here’s
an excerpt from Dr. Becker’s study:
“The present study reports on clinical experience using
electrically generated silver ions as adjunctive treatment in the management of
chronic osteomyelitis…
…wound care (usually provided by the patient) resulted in control
of the infection in twelve of the fifteen treatment attempts and in healing
of the non-union after follow-up ranging from three to thirty-six months.
In this small series, the silver ions seemed to have been an
effective local antibacterial agent with advantages over other antibiotics that
included:
Activity against all of the bacterial types encountered in these
patients, negligible toxic effect on local tissues, and penetration of poorly vascularized tissue to the distance believed to be about
one centimeter.
The rapid subsidence of the infection once treatment with silver
ions was initiated convinced us that the silver iontophoresis
had had a beneficial antibacterial effect.
An added benefit, which was unexpected, was the deposition of
substantial amounts of new bone produced during treatment with the silver-nylon
anode."

Becker
went on to use electrically generated silver to re-grow bone in both human and
animal models.
In
a later study titled “Effects of Electrically
Generated Silver Ions on Human Cells and Wound Healing,” which was published in
the journal Electro- and Magnetobiology, Dr. Becker concluded:
“Healing
rates in these wounds are significantly accelerated and are accompanied by enhanced
healing of the bone, soft tissue, nerve, and skin, with replacement of
missing tissues by histologically normal tissues.
The
responsible agent for these cellular effects is believed to be the electrically
generated silver ion."

In
another study, conducted at the Department of Orthopaedic
Surgery, State University of New York, and titled “Effects of Electrically
Generated Silver Ions on Human Cells and Wound Healing,” Dr. Becker wrote of
his treatments of infected human bone and tissue:
“A profuse, sterile exudates began to appear in the wound
during the second and fourth day of treatment.
Shortly
thereafter it became evident that an enhancement of wound healing was occurring
beyond that which could be attributed to infection control.
Open
cavities began to fill with abundant, healthy granulation tissue, producing
rapid coverage of exposed bone surfaces.
This
was followed by rapid ingrowth of full thickness,
innervated skin and healing of bony
non-unions.” [Italics mine – ED]

The Bottom
Line
The
bottom line is that there is now some fresh anecdotal evidence that silver ions
can trigger the re-mineralization of tooth enamel.
And
this anecdotal evidence coincides nicely with significant older clinical evidence for the idea that
electrically generated silver ions can trigger re-growth or re-mineralization of
bone!
Since
there are no clinical studies demonstrating how healing tooth enamel with
colloidal silver might work, or how much colloidal silver it might take to
achieve it…
…it
is unfortunately another one of those situations in which you’ll just have to
experiment for yourself to see if it works for you.
In
Dr. Becker’s clinical work, for example, the silver ions were generated directly into the wound site using tiny
micro-amp currents of electricity. This
was done in a laboratory environment by skilled professionals.
So
it doesn’t really apply to healing tooth enamel with colloidal silver. It merely confirms that there is something
about electrically generated silver ions that stimulate healing and
re-mineralization in bones.
But
if Timothy D’s testimonial at the beginning of this article is any indication,
ionic colloidal silver exposed directly to tooth enamel may well indeed trigger
a similar bone re-growth process such as the one Dr. Becker first discovered
back in the 1970’s.
My Own
Experience
This
brings to mind a painful molar I had many years ago. The dentist had x-rayed it, and told me it had
a “hairline crack” running through it, and was going to need a root canal due
to infection.
Dreading
the root canal, I went home and started using colloidal silver daily, holding
it over the tooth for seven to 10 minutes at a time, as many as three or four
times a day.
I
went back to that same dentist about a month later, and had him re-examine the
tooth. I told him the pain was
completely gone.
He
took x-rays again, and began to apologize profusely for having recommended a
root canal. He said the tooth absolutely
did not need one.
Many
years later I went to another dentist who carefully examined all of my
teeth. I asked about the hairline crack
in that molar. “There’s no evidence of a
hairline crack in that molar,” she replied.
At
the time, I assumed my previous dentist had simply been mistaken. After all, I’d never seen any information whatsoever
about colloidal silver re-mineralizing tooth enamel.
But
now, after reading about Timothy D.’s experience, and linking it mentally to
Dr. Becker’s work in healing bone non-unions with electrically generated silver
ions…
…I
have to wonder whether or not that hairline crack all
of those years ago had been a figment of my dentist’s imagination, or if indeed
the enamel had been re-mineralized and healed by the colloidal silver.
Anyone
else achieving success with this idea of using colloidal silver to trigger
re-mineralization of tooth enamel, please feel free to post about your
experiences on the Colloidal
