Scared of dental work… terrified. Broke a tooth need a crown. 3 years no dentist trips until today. Keto victory- ZERO cavities.
Freak out a dentist!

Exactly. I hadn’t been to the dentist in 5 years (no insurance, severe depression and lack of self care) until I got a scaling and root planing done in april. Six months later they check and see that not only are all my gum pockets fully healed down to 3mm or less (the worst were 6mm deep) but I have barely any build up. The dentist and hygenist couldn’t stop raving about what a healthy mouth I have. I’ve never had a better dental appointment in my life. They say most perio patients need 4 month cleanings because they never really recover.
Eating almost no sugar has really helped. My mouth never feels filmy in the morning anymore, and I never have morning breath! Score!

I have noticed this even being early on in my journey. My teeth feel MUCH cleaner, no fuzzy plaque. Do get more meat stuck in my teeth though lol.
