Acid reflux (GERD, LPR) teeth problems – enamel erosion
Disclaimer: please note that this article is mostly focused on GERD/LPR related dental problems and provides only basic advice regarding treating acid reflux itself. Be aware that GERD/LPR may be a serious condition leading to life-threatening diseases like Barett's Esophagus or even esophageal cancer.

Where can I get this book? It’s available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle formatclick here to buy Balance: A Guide to Managing Dental Caries for Patients and Practitioners We had mixed feelings when ordering a copy of this book – it appeared really professional and promising, but it was already 7 years old and after this quite long time it had only 7 reviews on Amazon (100% positive though) compared to staggering 923 reviews of the most popular in the category Cure Tooth Decay by Ramiel Nagel.

Book review: Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye by Ellie Phillips
Where can I get this book? It’s available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle formatclick here to buy Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye We had huge expectations regarding this book as it was marketed as an alternative approach to dental health problems.

The main idea of the book is her System for healthy teeth, which is form of a protocol that (if followed carefully) should give you good long-term outcomes and in some cases could actually make you…
