I am sorry for you ladiblu,
but it is sure not from the fast !
Why are you posting it here ?
To scare the newbies ?

I am sorry this has happened to you. It happened to me too, so I understand how bad you feel. I know that to be a traumatic experience in a way. Besides, your front tooth is involved.

I'll tell you what I know about fasting and dental health:

1. Fasting improves our dental health.

2. Teeth that can be repaired are improved by fasting.

3. Teeth that are in a very bad shape are lost during fasting.

In other words, Fasting is not responsible for our lost teeth, we are.

That is why I recommend a lot of reading to people before embarking into fasting. You should be able to anticipate a thing like this.

It is a blessing in disguise, in a way. Bad dental health is responsible for many brain and/or heart infections.

That tooth of yours...was it in good shape? I am assuming it was not.

Now, do not dismay. You can continue your fasting as you had planned. Or you can go into refeeding if you feel too anguished to do it.

You will need to visit your dentist later on (As I did). In my case, I lost 2 tooth to fasting (one frontal, one from my upper left quadrant) It was a wake up call.

I suggest you visit a biological dentist, if that's possible in your area. You can also get a temporary helpful item from an Internet store in the meantime. These are relatively inexpensive and help with the cosmetics of this problem.

Nothing is as bad as it looks.

A hug..

Oh wow that is terrible and has really frightened me, i have good dental hygiene and have only ever had one minor cavity however my front two teeth i have lost the enamal on part my dentist reasured me thy would not just fall out and they were best left it ofc did not come up in conversation about my fasts i was about to start another short fast but i dont want to lose my teeth, how long did you fast before this happened? What are the chances i wil lose my teeth i really feel the need to fast again but no way will i risk my teeth!

I have read of someone who lost a very bad tooth during fasting. I am sorry that I can not remember the source. It was presented as a good thing, however, since it was the body's way of getting rid of it and it was beyond help. This is good as animals can not go to dentists when they need to have a tooth pulled. They just fast and the tooth comes out naturally. Fasting heals teeth when they have not gone beyond a certain point of damage. This is what I remember from what I read. Again, I am sorry I do not have the source.

ATTENTION PLEASE !

I have read the posts from ladiblu , I suggest that all read her posts before get scared , that they will loos a tooth or two , during a fast.
Actually ladiblu was not doing a fast , she was drinking juises,
laxative teas and I sispect she was eating a thing or two ( her mom breakfast ) and wanted to get the food out by laxative teas.
So this was NOT A WATER ONLY FAST what she was doing, it was a kind of weight reducing diet.
So fasters , do not bother !
