Type 2 Deposits on my teeth with very low carb diet

[steve.kille]

Since shifting to very low carb, which has been working well for blood glucose levels, I am finding that I'm getting deposits on my teeth. Can anyone suggest what is happening?

Too much bullet proof coffee?

That’s odd, my teeth feel less ‘furry’ on low carb. My hygienist mentioned that I have less plaque now too. What type of deposits do you mean?

It makes my teeth feel like there is a layer of stuff on them. Not visible, but feels rough to the tongue and is removed by electric brushing. Feels like a thin deposit of powdery stuff, but I don't know.

Spinach makes my teeth feel as you describe.

Brush after every meal and you should be right.

What do you eat on a very low carb diet?

And beware the fact that oxalates are a common cause of kidney stones, so if you're going high oxalate make sure you go high water quantities as well....
