Can You Avoid Fillings and Regenerate Your Teeth?
Last Thursday night, I spoke to nearly 200 of my friends in Boise. Afterwards, signing books and talking with people, a beautiful woman named Amanda Beutler got to the front of the line and was crying before she even started speaking. At first, all she could say was, "Thank you." She gave me a hug, took a few breaths, and told me this story that has had me jumping out of my skin with excitement, wanting to share it, ever since.
18 months before we met, she had taken her 6-year old son, Olin, to his first-ever dentist visit, to find that he had 6 cavities! The dentist insisted that she make an appointment at a hospital to put Olin under anesthesia for the surgery! She was uncomfortable with this and asked the dentist to wait.
She had the thought: "If the human body can heal, why can't teeth?" What a genius question. An important question. As with cancer (where virtually everyone we know just follows Standard of Care, chemo / radiation), we don't really KNOW what regeneration the teeth can experience, because nearly 100% of us just get the filling in our teeth. As someone who has recently been paying the price for the tons of sugar I ate in the earlier decades of my life, I have studied this issue in-depth, as I've paid a steep price for my metal fillings, later removed and replaced, and eventual failure of those teeth and materials. A filling is not the same thing as natural tooth dentin, no matter what material you use.
Biological dentists use non-toxic, or more accurately, less-toxic materials. (Traditional dentists use amalgam fillings with heavy metals, root canals that are possibly the scariest and most toxic medical procedure in modern Standard of Care, and toxic crown and implant materials containing heavy metals known to cause auto-immune conditions.) Biological dentists use different procedures and materials.
But every time we drill and fill teeth, we take those teeth closer to inevitable death. I have always wondered, is there another way? If so, how would we know? It would take someone opting out of that accepted system and doing something radically different. It would take a hero. Or heroine.
Amanda is an amazing mother. She spent three months researching intensively. She found GreenSmoothieGIrl.com, started feeding Olin green smoothies daily, and began implementing my 12 Steps to Whole Foods program in earnest. She wasn't dabbling in it--she was implementing it in a very committed way.
As I have done, Amanda studied the voluminous, compelling work of Dr. Weston A. Price, DMD. He believed that cavities could be healed after researching indigenous people, all over the world, who displayed no tooth decay. He compared these results to people in developed nations eating a processed diet.
Six months after implementing her self-designed protocol after studying the work of Dr. Price and GreenSmoothieGirl, Amanda and Olin returned to the dentist. He examined Olin's mouth and turned to Amanda, completely baffled, and asked her how his cavities could be gone--filled in with hard, healthy dentin, in no need of fillings. He called his colleague in to see. All six of them were healed.
Amanda's answer was, "Green smoothies!" She wrote me later to share this photo I'd asked for, and said, "Thank you so much, Robyn, for everything! You have helped to significantly change my family's well-being!"
Amanda, let me thank you. I have wondered the same thing, myself: "If the human body can heal, can't teeth repair themselves?" I think you are a heroine--going against the grain, and doing hard things, making sacrifices, to bless your little son's life.
Little did you know you have now helped many others. I am ecstatic to share this story and try these things myself, with new confidence and hope. Very frankly, I want essential oil producers to share your story too, and I plan to share this with them!
Thank you for being brave and being a pioneer. Thank you for telling me what you did--I am so inspired!

Thank you!!! I’ve been looking for an alternative since I don’t really want to go to a regular dentist but we don’t really have the money for a biological dentist and my husband has been complaining about his teeth hurting (so I’m pretty sure we’ve got cavities to contend with). I’m going to get the oil and we’re going to try it!!!
That is awesome!!!
So grateful for this information! Will be implementing today!
I have a book called “Be Your Own Doctor” by Rachel Weaver. She says that black walnut tincture, swished three to four times a day for a couple of weeks, will repair cavities. We generally have very strong teeth in our family (just good genetics, we lucked out!), but if I ever need it, I will try either this remedy or the essential oils. I don’t know how expensive the black walnut tincture is, but if it is cheaper and easier to find, it might be worth a try!
Awesome!
Could you explain more in depth the protocol that Amanda followed to “heal” her son’s cavities. Thank you
Hi there! Many people were asking the same question you did. I posted an in depth comment below to answer everyone 🙂
thank you so much for this post — on the birch — this may be silly, but what is your swishing procedure? thanks again.

Is there anything else that you did besides the birch oil and green smoothies? Special toothpaste? Other supplements? We tried a few things like Vitamin K and Silica and xylitol toothpaste and gum, but the cavities just grew.

Hello,
I have so many questions for Amanda…….My 5 year old son has 3 cavities, and I too have begun diligently following Weston A. Price. I am somewhat confused because what I read of Price included, kefir, marrow soup, raw milk etc- something altogether different than the 12 steps of Green Smoothie Girl. I have Robyn’s book (s), because this same little fellow was born with neuroblastoma and I was dilegent about following this regime since his infancy. Would Amanda share in detail her self-designed protcol for her son ? Also, were there holes in his teeth (such as my son’s).
With great thanks for sharing. Looking forward to much more detail

Thank you for this! I’ve heard that root canals are terrible and I need to get 2 done asap. I would love to hear about any alternatives! Are there any resources you can share? I’m not sure I can afford a biologic dentist right now :(…I’m also having to get some old cavities re-filled or capped with a crowns (in the midst of so much dental work) and I’m finding it really traumatic- my body definitely doesn’t like it! I already eat a very healthy diet (no processed foods, gluten-free and have green smoothies every day), will definitely have to try that oil. Thanks again!
Amazing story. Thank you for sharing it. How many drops of Birch/Oz of water did he swish with daily?
Hello Amy! My son swished with 1 drop of Birch oil twice daily with water 🙂
Awesome story. Would love to have more specifics. What exactly did Olin swish in his mouth – how much water and how many drops of the oil? How many times/day? For how long? The “only” other change in their diets was implementing the 12 step program? Love to hear these success stories. 🙂 Thank you!

Thank you for the great article. I’ve heard of the oil pulling before and i have friends who say they have good results just doing it with coconut oil.
Does anyone know if there is anything natural that can be done for a cat’s gingivitis? Our vet wants to do a teeth cleaning on our cat which includes an anesthesia which I feel very uneasy about.
I am very interested to know her protocol. Which green smoothies, exactly how often, and how did she administer the Birch Oil? Would oil pulling with Wintergreen and coconut oil work as well?
Linda,
Hi! I wrote a more in depth explanation below, but wanted to answer your specific question about the smoothies 🙂
Honestly, we hardly ever made the same one twice! I loved trying a couple of new recipes from Robyn’s book (or just throwing randomness in) every week and we are fortunate to have a local produce stand right around the corner. I have read lots about the amazing benefits of oil pulling, and although I think it’s fantastic I haven’t stuck to a regimen of doing it.
Hope that helps! I wish you all the best 🙂
