@askthedentist: If you haven’t found a magnesium supplement yet, message me the word MAG and I’ll send you the magnesium I swear by. Magnesium helps you absorb calcium and phosphorus-two minerals that keep enamel strong and resistant to cavities. And even reverse small cavities. Unfortunately many magnesium supplements out there only contain one or two, which is why many people don’t feel the benefits. Foods I recommend that are rich in magnesium include leafy greens like spinach, nuts and seeds (my favorite are pistachios, almonds, and pumpkin seeds), and dark chocolate (76% or higher) Extra Tips: - Normal magnesium levels: 1.7-2.2 mg/dL - Optimal daily intake: 310-420 mg for adults - If you are deficient, start with 200-400 mg daily - Signs of deficiency: muscle cramps, poor sleep, fatigue, constipation, bleeding gums, cavities, mouth ulcers, burning mouth syndrome, jaw cramps or tension, and dry mouth - Always discuss with your doctor before starting or removing any supplement I hope this helps!
