The invention claimed is: 1. A method for remineralizing teeth, comprising: extracting a propolis of Brazilian green into an oil to form a Brazilian green propolis oil; wherein the Brazilian green propolis oil consists of the oil and the propolis of Brazilian green; contacting a tooth of a subject with only the Brazilian green propolis oil for a time and under conditions to increase Vickers Hardness of the tooth or a portion thereof by at least 5%. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein remineralizing comprises remineralizing enamel. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein remineralizing comprises remineralizing dentin or cementum. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein remineralizing comprises remineralizing dentin. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein remineralizing comprises remineralizing a cane, carious lesion, cavity, or exposed root of a tooth. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has reduced saliva flow or quantity. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject's saliva two hours after eating or drinking is less than pH 7. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oil is a vegetable oil. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oil is a canola oil. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the propolis of Brazilian green comprises 0.01 to 5 wt % of phenolic acids or other phenolic compounds. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the propolis of Brazilian green comprises 0.01 to 5 wt % of flavonoids. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the propolis of Brazilian green comprises 0.01 to 5 wt % of Artepillin C. 13.
