Dr Berg for the last three to four years my health has severely started deteriorating. More recently I’ve been experiencing significant low neck pain, upper back and shoulder pain.. joint pain, hip pain, internal aches and woke up every morning feeling like a dumpster fire. I saw your video about you getting an infected tooth removed and it cleared your pain and I thought i wonder if my dental care is contributing to this since NOTHING was helping. I didn’t have tooth pain. Got X-rays and sure enough I had an upper molar with a huge cyst in my sinus cavity. I had oral surgery Monday and literally my body feels 90% better! Your videos turn on light bulbs for us. I never would have correlate the two! Thank you
Awww. Yay! So glad you figured out your issue there! Dr. Eric Berg is amazing!! We need soooo many more doc's like him in the practice, badly... Keep doing what you're doing Doc!!! You're helping so many more people than you know.
I have less than that, only a crooked tooth that hurts, and my shoulders are in pain, and can't restfully sleep. That's like the thorn in my eye since it's like a nail thats poking out from a wall. It even stops me from talking much because it bothers me.
I solved plaque formation by simply removing the sugar from my diet. I had tartar for 25 years and I could not find any solution to stop its formation. When I removed all suger from my diet, the tartar just disappeared. Remove sugar means avoid the food which contains artificial sugar. The fruits are fine. Thank you for your videos, mr. Berg ! All contains usefull informations !
Has anyone here tried using Xylitol toothpaste? I made some with xylitol powder, coconut oil, baking Soda and cinnamon. My teeth feel great. I used to have sensitive teeth but not anymore. I’ve read a few positive studies on the effects of xylitol and oral health…much better and safer than fluoride!
Try brushing with aloe straight from the plant. It takes the sensitivity away. I did just learn that aloe has latex in it. To remove it, just soak in water for 10 to 15 minutes and see the yellow green goo emerge. Then slice it and use it right on your brush. An amazing clean. I've been making my own toothpaste for years with baking soda and coconut oil and sometimes added activated charcoal powder, some mint oil... felt great. The aloe...cleans like nothing I've ever used. I like oil pulling, to finish the process. I'm not a dr. Just a DIY kinda person who's known about fluoride since I was a kid. My dad worked at the water department and didn't want to do that part of the job. 😢 but he protected us. Our water was great. Totally different when he retired. Try the aloe! It really works!!!
@@jawnaraestokes5836 thanks, I will definitely try the aloe. I grow lots and have used it to make face cream, but haven’t thought to use it in toothpaste 🦷
I am 46 and have only ever had three medical conditions in my life. All three of them the doctors couldn’t remedy. One minor thing had gone on for 11 years, and another minor thing had gone on for a year and a half. Your advice solved all three problems in one night, three days, and two weeks respectively. All using natural ingredients. Thank you!
Yeah, why didn’t you share your experience while you were thanking someone that shared his experience and solving your problems. That is why many of the diseases are unsolved and mysterious for many people
I brush my teeth only with distilled water and I don’t have tartar or plaque around my teeth. I think it has something to do with tap water. Thank you for shedding light on Flouride. I’ve wanted to get a whole house distiller and I only drink distilled water as well. I do eat a lot of veggies and fruit as well and that’s where I get my minerals.
Funny u mention this, I put distilled water in a spray bottle yesterday and sprayed some on my toothbrush n toothpaste this a.m. while brushing. I'm curious to find out how it works out as far as plaque
I do the same... Just started (a few months ago) using distilled water when brushing my teeth. Something in my spirit just said to start that. Thank you for saying that.

Probiotics never helped my gum disease tbh. I’ve had gum disease as long as I can remember. Using a water flosser before brushing with a non fluoride remineralizing toothpaste, and using a higher quality floss (coco floss) has been a total game changer for me. The water flosser in particular. It’s like pressure washing my teeth and gums before I brush. For the first time I’m no longer having bleeding and my hygienist is thrilled with my progress.
@@疑是地上霜床前明月光how can the toothpaste reach your teeth gap if a piece of meat blocks the way? flossing before brushing is just like how you sweep/ vacuum before mopping.
I live on a farm with well water but decided to purchase a home distiller for my water. I am SO glad I did! The water is amazing. I also make kefir with my organic raw goats milk form my herd. Thank you so much for the informative videos, they are priceless.
I saw this documentary on your slobber and it was pretty Awakening to me. They say your saliva is there for a reason, because it kills bacteria and pathogens in your mouth. People who do not chew their food well and swallow it whole will have a problem with their gut. Because chewing your food also breaks it down so it's easier to digest you're spit cleanses the food before it goes into your gut. I've always been a slow tour of my food I chew it down to nothing, because I believe that that is why I don't have any stomach problems.
This country? Is all over the world man. Here in my country Chile, the levels of fluoride and chloride are huge in the water. And the most disgusting thing about it, is that in the south we have the purest rivers and lakes, so there is NO NEED for such things!
And so many people who, like sheep, just follow along with anything they're told, without doing their own research. When it comes to your body and health, check into whatever you are told, especially by the mainstream media!
Jons Hopkins have a study on rats teeth which became more brittle after fluoridisation. The study happened about 100 years ago after it was noticed in the 1800s that fluoride attaches to the skeleton which is the body's way of shunting it to a part of the body that will not make the soft tissues toxic. The study attempted to establish whether or not fluoride strengthened bones by that affinity but fluoride is less dense than calcium, therefore it could be a contributory factor toward osteoporosis. In India there is a lot of naurally occurring fluoride in the ground and most often it is women who suffer from skeletal malformation of that.
@@skeletorlikespotatoes7846 They could not have been more detailed with the info, making it very easy for you to proceed with investigating, thus further researching, reading and learning for yourself. Take your edu into your own hands. Did you search Johns Hopkins fluoride study?
*TIP* Dr. Ellie Phillips on UA-cam has EXCELLENT information on a complete mouthcare system and different products you can buy to get the bacteria in your mouth under control. I've been following her advice for 4 months already and see a REMARKABLE difference in my oral health. Even my dentist/hygienist were surprised!
@@Americanaa Unfortunately, eating Keto/low-carb for 20 years and doing "natural" mouthcare hasn't worked for me. Finally, I'm getting whiter teeth without bleach/peroxide, and my mouth is remarkably cleaner feeling too. Sure, it's toxic, she even says that, but it's literally in your mouth a very short time and you spit it all out. Unfortunately, for me, it is a necessary "evil" in my healthcare choices.
My husband and I have been married for over forty years and of course use the same water and eat pretty much the same foods, except my husband eats way more sugar! I asked our hygienist why his report is always excellent and why I always have a lot of plaque. She told me that some people just naturally make more plaque than others.??🤷♀️
It has to do a lot with mouth ph which varies from person to person; breathing habits, saliva composition, etc. And what bacteria live in your mouth as well im sure. One way in which fermented foods make a difference is that they are acidic; which is a great way to get rid of tartar. It dissolves it really fast; but not only your tartar of course. I started restricting my fermented food intake last year when I got very sensitive teeth due to thinning enamel. I was able to reverse that in a few months luckily; but sure enough my tartar buildup also went up. The dissolution vs precitipation of calcium in your mouth is a balance; and frankly id rather be a bit on the tartar-accumulating side of things. If you buy the right tools (soft metals, no hard steels) you can teach yourself to remove tartar safely, and its nothing too bothersome.
I nibble about on 5-10 cloves per day because I like the taste for months now. No plaque anymore. Nothing. And good tooth feeling. I used to be very sensitive with teeth (sweets, cold water). All problems gone.
I have not had a huge amount. Just on the front teeth lower/inside. I used to remove it by my self but since the cloves nothing comes back. For many months now. Not a bit.
I’m so grateful for the insight on fluoride, private entity?! What the actual ..?! I’ve had filtered water and fluoride free toothpaste for years but this is so helpful!
Fluosilicic Acid is what is used at the water treatment plant I worked at. FYI, the first city water treatment plant to put fluoride in their water system was Grand Rapids, MI, I believe in 1949.
I had my teeth cleaned last week. My hygienist insisted on using a fluoride treatment and I refused. She went on to question me as to why I was against it. When I told her what I think about fluoride she got upset, then I showed her which toothpaste I'm using since she says my oral health is getting better and better. She got even more upset when she saw there's no fluoride in it 😂 and proceeded to give me one that contains fluoride.
Dr. Berg, There is one thing that gives me pause about sauerkraut which I was eating every day. Isn't acidic food bad for your teeth? Sauerkraut has a pH of 3.30-3.60. Thank you for helping us.
I used to work in a laboratory. One of the most dangerous acids some of our researchers used what Hydrofluoric Acid. You have to take extreme precautions when using it because it is highly volatile and loves to embed itself in bones and teeth. It can not be handled like any of the other acids because it will cause so much damage to the body in a tiny drop. It also will eat through glass. I try to stay away from anything that has fluoride in it. I can't imagine that it beneficial to the body in the amounts present in tap water, or toothpaste.
@@MikeTrullAmsoildealer but there are also a lot of videos about floxed patients that there is no cure of it..except Dr Giallili do it by stem cells therapy, his treatment success rate is also 80-90%..and His treatment is so expensive.Nor everyone can afford it neither has enough sources to access Him..What to do floxies in their miserable conditions???
I also heart that about the particle size! I did some research about the few filters that might be able to filter it out but ppl complained a lot about the aluminum taste of the filtered water 🤷🏽♀️
the best thing i did for my mouth is tape it at night when i sleep. It's been about eight years...dentist was impressed how little plaque i have! Of course, i do eat well and remove fluoride from my water as well. Many Blessings Dr Berg!
Hey Dr. Berg! I just wanted to take a moment and thank you so much for all the information you put out there. Before I started to tune into your content I had no idea about what good health really ment or how exactly what you eat affects you. Like many others I've decided to implement quite a few changes in my life based on what I've learned from you and it's helped me a lot. I keep my weight in check, I feel better than I did a couple years ago, and I even slowly started to get my hair to grow back (thanks to the natural tips you gave in one of your videos) I say all that because I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for putting this information out there for us. God bless you sir 🙏
This was a wealth of information! Most people have no idea but thankfully my parents, especially my Mom knew about all of this, so i learned a lot growing up. Thank you for sharing and caring ❤
Nothing will happen. Hitler used it to subdue Jews and he never died, the USA made the gas chambers and rescued him and Klaus schwab and soros brought it over here & covid was depopulation , they want u dead. And dumb. And it’s working on everything and nothing will change. It’s the gvmt
I've been OIL PULLING with olive oil 20 minutes every day for the past 12 years. Got my last dental visit and cleaning 12 years ago. I have ZERO plaque. Oil Pulling works, yet many refuse to acknowledge it.
If you don't brush your teeth and haven't visited a dentist in 12 years, I strongly suggest you visit the dentist immediately. Unless you've been on a diet absent of carbohydrates for the past decade, which I doubt, there's a real risk you have lots of caries lesions you're not aware of.
I am from pakistan a beginer in self care and conscious living journey , Dr berg's videos are always very usefull eventhough i watched a few but i must say very good work , any body wants to suggest some other good channels ?
Motivational Doc, Dr. Mandel is also excellent. He only advocates natural clean living, he doesn’t try to get you to buy anything, except healthy real food.
Hopefully RFK Jr can help with cleaning up our water. Surprisingly, few water filtration systems (at least the ones I might be able to afford) offer fluoride removal.
@@lawrenceforsley3411 he wants to inject hormones into his body. That’s fine with me. If he offers solutions and does research as to what is healthy and what is not people can make their own choices instead of being in the dark.
@@ellendemarie3776 so you trust him to do research but not actual scientist. UA-cam is the new home of the really dumb people that are all over Facebook. 😂
Hi Dr. Berg. Thank you for another wonderful video. I've been doing coconut oil pulls, using Harry's remineralization drops, which alkalizine the mouth, and using Himalaya hydroxyapatite toothpaste. We have a reverse osmosis and chloramine filters for our water. My mouth feels amazing and my teeth are whiter.
I brush my teeth with toothpaste and a drop of tea tree oil. The last 6 trips (6 years) when I go for a cleaning the hygienist just praises me and says "There's nothing to clean" . I swear by this.
I'm so glad you have raised this. In my region we didn't have flouridation in our water supply until a few years ago. I know it's also considered to be a carcinogen.
We've been using a water treatment unit in our home for 40 years. We replace the filters yearly and flush the main unit as recommended. I don't use fluoride toothpaste and I make my own mouthwash. Since I do an excellent job of taking care of my teeth I only see my dentist once a year. You really have to stay on top of your dental care.
Thank goodness for WELL WATER 🎉🎉🎉 Even as kids, mom wouldn’t let us use crest or Colgate, or any fluoride toothpaste we used Vademecum; Swedish toothpaste without sugar or fluoride the best!🎉
Since i started using Herbodent toothpaste i no longer have receding gums, tartar, or cavities. I also now rinse with colloidal silver. Will be 70 this year. I quit going to dentists a few years ago when the doc wanted to schedule me for a pinhole cavity starting. Fyi… i dont eat the sugar like i used to either which probably caused that cavity.
Dr. Berg, what advice do you give if a tooth nerve has died? Love to hear your thoughts on what you would do if faced with a tooth that has died. Implant, temporary tooth..? Thank you❤
Dr. Berg is not a dentist and would be violating his own oath if he advised treatment outside of his area of expertise….. Oops looks like he does that routinely.
I watched a documentary on fluoride is a byproduct from making aluminum and they had a problem getting rid of this byproduct and came up with the ideal solution by putting it in the water.
Holy shyt I just asked Chat GPT and you are right 😳 You: Is it true that industry is putting the flouride byproduct into water to get rid of it? ChatGPT: Yes, that's correct. Fluoride compounds, including those generated as byproducts in industrial processes like aluminum production, are sometimes added to public water supplies as a means of fluoridation. This practice is intended to improve dental health by reducing tooth decay. However, the addition of fluoride to drinking water is a subject of debate and can vary by location and local regulations. ChatGPT can make mistakes. Consider checking important
Yes, you’re right, that which is dumped into our water supply and used in dentistry is sodium fluoride, a byproduct of aluminium product, however, it’s not being dumped in our water supply just by chance they know exactly what it does it lowers the IQ and it’s subdued the masses that used to use it against the Jews in Germany. Not to be confused with naturally occurring calcium fluoride.
My teeth started to chip away and i had bad breath after using toothpaste for years. I stopped all toothpaste and mouth wash and started using Miswak. Its been 10 years. My teeth have never been healthier, no more chipping,or bad breath.Miswak is totally organic and cheap.
Love miswak ! Can you explain how you use it. (As in movements and time duration etc etc) I’m using it for almost two years but tartar is there (I’m a smoker) cheers !
I do quite the same! 2 Tablespoons Coconut oil 3 Tablespoons Baking Soda 1 teaspoon 3% Hydrogenperoxid But it does not help me to get rid of the already existing tartar😩
I stopped having plaque when I went carnivore. My tonsil stones also disappeared, as well as the film I always had on my tongue. I'll also say that I took probiotics for years, up to about two months after starting carnivore (carnivore 2 years 8 months now) and they honestly never helped me. I kept taking them because I was desperate for relief, but they didn't do much. In fact, I had had nothing but liquid stools for a good 10 years (been taking probiotics maybe 8 of those) and nothing at all had helped. When I started carnivore, which was my last thing to try, I didn't think it was going to help me either. Then two months in I decided to cut out the probiotics and within a month I had my first formed bowel movement in over a decade.
I just bought some regular xylitol from Amazon. I put it my vitamix and powdered it. I keep it in the bathroom in an airtight container and spoon about a quarter teaspoon over top of the toothpaste on my brush. The reason I do not use the xylitol gum or mints is because if it gets accidentally dropped my dog could snap it up before I could stop her. It is highly toxic to dogs. The powder is cheaper and safer. I never get plaque now. My teeth always feel like they did the day I have a cleaning.
Dr Berg, In this video, you said that the fluoride in dental offices are different than what is in our water. Is it safe to get a fluoride treatment in your dental office? I've always turned them down, thinking fluoride was bad for your health. So I am confused now. Thank you for any help you can give.
Hi Dr Berg from the UK. Thank you so much for your informative talks. This talk i heard today confirmed/taught me a lot. By chance i had occasion to talk to a retired dentist today (brother of a friend). I also recently asked my dentist (who is from Sri Lanka) what he thought about fluoride. Both were 100% convinced it's wonderful and effective, both in toothpaste and in the water supply! Awful how professionals go along with what they're told and have arguments to hand, yet it sems no evidence exisits. Thank you for explaining things clearly for the lay person.
An observation....I notice if I take a Cold Ez lozenge or two....the plaque on the back of my teeth becomes much more soft and easier to clean off. There is something to that, I just don't know what?? I know they are high in zinc.
Right on! Been saying this for years. Already been filtering water, but could use a better system. Any suggestions on the best budget whole-house filtration model?
Aloe Vera mixed with distilled water is amazing - make sure it’s organic and doesn’t have the latex that seeps out of the aloe Vera so it didn’t bitter - this is a great mouth wash wash
Can you please make a video dedicated to root canals and whether or not their okay to have? I’m only asking because the day I had my first root canal is the day I started experiencing major health issues and I’m unsure if it’s related or not.
They are absolutely related to further health problems. A lot of new evidence coming out to show the link. Mental problems, pain issues, and many more.
Watch out as dentists do not consider root canals serious. They are. I had some problems with my teeth. Dentist recommended 3 root canals. Left office, researched. Studied when RC needed. Infection. Had none. Pain. Had none. Asked dentist what indicated infection, to show me on X-ray. There was none. What could he say? Visits later, he remarked, “well, since you don’t like root canals . . .” What does that mean? They are taught to push root canals, me thinks. I would pull tooth, probably consider the old method, bridge. Have to find dentist who still does that. But it worked for decades, didn’t it? Don’t think much of implants either.
@@carolb6549 I had two bridges put in, and in order for the bridge to fit, they grind down the teeth that the. bridge sits on, then you have to get root canals on the teeth that are little stubs close to the nerves. I had to get 3, and will need more most likely. Maybe better to pull teeth and get implants, or pull teeth and just eat baby food.
@@carolb6549 What’s wrong with implants? I have had two root canals separate from each other. My pain started the same day if not moment I had my first root canal. Since then I have had the first one extracted and the pain still exists. I thought since it started from that then that is what it must be. As of typing this message, I still have one root canal in my mouth that I’ve been holding off on extracting it because every place I’ve been to says it looks fine on their CT scans. I’ve been diagnosed with ATypical type 2 neuralgia and I’m not sure if it’s from the root canal or not. My endodontist once adjust one of my root canals and told me to wait and not bite on them for 10 days which is impossible. He told me that it was hitting against the nerve or I think the other tooth at the time like a hammer. I asked him if they can cause pain within the body and he said “ absolutely, the body is one long wire”. Fast forward years later and he say that it’s not and that he doesn’t remember me saying that. I only need the truth because every time I go somewhere or get an x-ray done, they note something small, then when I come back for a follow up, all of a sudden it’s gone. This has happened many times and due to that I suspect that they are hiding things from me and displacing blame saying it’s something else and that they’re not involved. Since having my first ever root canal, I have been experiencing chronic inflammation 24/7 and it feels like my organs are being stabbed by a thousand knives radiating throughout my body (all except my right leg for whatever reason) I had blood work done and my ENA screen came back detected. Also something about positive anti body. My doctor told me that my body is basically fighting itself which I had already known. The pain itself never changes, it’s always a 7/10 for me and what makes it worse how the pain is affecting me i.e. respiratory distress, digestive issues, unable to concentrate etc. I tried many medication, foods, remedies etc., none helped because something is causing my pain simultaneously. Only a local anesthetic to my left side of jaw reliefs the nerve which in turn relieved almost all my pain (my root canals where done on the bottom right molars). I thought adjusting the root canal tooth again would help because most often I bite and clench on the right side of my jaw as if I’m trying to get rid of a scratch I can’t itch. At first I thought it was excess material although I’m always told it has plenty of space between the nerve and tooth. Is this feeling a result of referred pain? There were many occasions in which local anesthesia would be injected into my left nerve trunk and that temporary relieves the pain. I’m left confused with all this. I understand nerves are complicated and I can’t rely on where I feel the pain because it’s in multiple areas of my body. I’m only focused on my mouth because that’s when it started and there were times of relief(temporary as it been) in my body as-well. Does anybody know what I should do because based on this I’m unsure whether or not the cause is the root canal or something else because both side are telling me otherwise. I know the teeth and heart are connected and I feel like a constant stabbing sensation in my body (with the exception of my right leg). I hope Dr. Berg can help me with this problem.
Me &my family stopped using flouride a few years ago. We hadnt been to dentist for 4 years and our dentist couldn't believe how clean all our teeth were. I believe that flouride makes stuff stick to your teeth.
Regarding fluoride, the inorganic NAF that is in most toothpaste, is much less effective for reminalization and against caries, than organic fluoride, like stannous fluoride and amine-fluoride.
Totalmente de acuerdo, si todos supieran de este maravilloso remedio muchos higienista quedarán sin trabajo. Doy fe de ello,he recuperado mis encías, mis dientes super limpios,la maravilla. Disculpen mi texto en español. Leo los de ustedes con el traductor. Gracias, gracias por también poder disfrutar de estos videos, latina americana,😂❤❤
It is impossible to prevent dental plaque formation forever. You just have to brush and floss your teeth everyday. If you brush your teeth at night, you wake up in the morning with plaque (biofilm) in the morning. of course there are factors that can increase plaque formation, such as high blood sugar and hormonal changes in women among many. Do you mean you can stop calculus/tartar formation forever? This depends on the minerals in your saliva, diet and your routine oral hygiene. Some people have more minerals in their saliva therefore they are more prone to calculus formation. Some foods deposit more minerals on your teeth. If you have poor oral hygiene and your teeth is covered in biofilm(slimy fuzzy layer when you don't brush teeth), the minerals in your diet and saliva will deposit on the biofilm and it will harden and form calculus which needs to be removed mechanically at your dentist office.
My personal experience with the mouth microbiome, sickness & dental health: I catched covid at christmas 2023 for the first time, used all anti-microbial remedies to get rid of it but developed severe step throat right afterwards which didn't seem to improve despite antibiotics so I changed my approach from killing -> restoring the balance in my mouth. I fermented my own kefir and after 3 days of drinking it the strep throat disappeared, not only that but also my gum problems improved.
Fluoride is not in my toothpaste or water I drink. If I get any fluoride, it's from taking a shower. But I drink spring water that does not contain fluoride, every couple weeks I go and fill glass bottles from the spring (so it's not already bottled and bought that way).
So early this year a dentist did X-rays found a gray area under front bottom tooth 🦷 but I thought since it didn’t bother me why fix it. Fast forward first of September I came down with dual ear infection… a week later the tooth started hurting had a root canal. Then came down with UTI/kidney infection with fever, low blood pressure, extremely low sodium folic acid, and severe fatigue and exhaustion, next vertigo, plus both my feet came down with athletes feet 👣, then dentist put me on penicillin 500 mg 4 times a day, then had allergic reaction to penicillin with itching and gained 5-7 lbs so I stopped using it, then yeast infection and now joint pain in shoulders and sacrum and coccyx area. So reading other peoples comments here I do believe this infection had gone throughout my body and I’m still recovering fortunately, I’m finally back at work and I have the strength to walk again, but I don’t think it’s over yet.
You have at least 3 different videos on how to make your own tooth paste, all different recipes. Could you please do an update on what is best, why you would omit some and add the others?
I was able to remineralize my daughter's teeth by following the weston price diet and removing gluten, most dentist wanted to pull out her teeth at 1.5 years, she is 3 now and they are all saved, all dentist are impressed
Edward Bernays helped the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) and other special interest groups to convince the American public that water fluoridation was safe and beneficial to human health. This was achieved by using the American Dental Association in a highly successful media campaign.
NOT A RECOMMENDATION SINCE DENTAL CARE DIFFERS IN THE WORLD. I'm a Swedish dentist. We recommend fluoride be used every day when brushing your teeth (morning and evening) and even more if you have active caries. But don't swallow it! Fluoride, just like salt and H2O, can be deadly in high doses, but beneficial in the right dosage/exposure (although salt and H2O are necessary for our survival..., fluoride is not). There are many homes in the world where the development of the teeth is affected in a bad way because of too much fluoride in the drinking water - most of the time, they have their own well. There are also many who suffer because of lack of fluoride exposure, with Caries (tooth decay) as a result - leading to treatments like fillings, root canal treatments, crowns, dentures and extractions (extractions is the only treatment where you don't put in exogenous material...). Your teeth benefit from fluoride, so the best way to use fluoride is to only expose the the teeth and not swallow it. So as long as there is not too much fluoride in the drinking water and you don't swallow the applied fluoride meant for your teeth - you should be fine. Also, fluoride i recommended to prevent caries, but how often and what you eat affects if you get cavities or not also - by a lot. There is of course genetics in play regarding cavities as well as our saliva differs... Tartar depends on your saliva composition (mostly genetic) and oral hygiene.
I went on carnivore about 5 months ago and switched to Xylitol toothpaste. I used to get awful plaque buildup on my lower front teeth. Since my changes I have ZERO plaque buildup. NONE. And I only use mouthwash when I'm planning to smooch on my husband! And we have a water filter that filters out fluoride.
In the Netherlands, no fluoride is added to drinking water supplies. Since 1973. The government wanted it since 1953 but a lawsuit stopped it. That was after some people got headaches and that was probably from fluoride addition.
My Dad died at 91 with all of his teeth and they were beautiful! He was also extremely healthy. He used fluoride toothpaste. I heard of a woman who stopped using fluoride toothpaste and her teeth started getting bad. She went back to fluoride toothpaste and all of her issues went away. I wonder if it depends on the person.
So is there a direct correlation between fluoride and tartar build-up? So plaque was not so common before fluoride toothpastes. This is clearly not true. Two of the articles cited do not mention fluoride at all, and the third says not to drink (!) high doses because it has a negative effect on the gut microbiome. How did you conclude that fluoride in toothpaste changes the flora of the mouth, which triggers tartar formation?
I always wonder why I have plaque. I have to get it cleaned every 4 months. I think cigar smoking makes my mouth dry and that lets the bacteria thrive which creates plaque/calculus. I eat a lot of probiotic foods. The dentist always does that fluoride treatment. I never had a cavity. But gingivitis is no joke.
I have had surgery 3 times for cancer in my gums. Never smoked and don't drink alcohol. Doctor doesn't know why it keeps coming back. I have a whole house water filter even though our city doesn't put fluoride in our water. Have been looking for toothpaste without all the additives. Thank you
Dr Berg for the last three to four years my health has severely started deteriorating. More recently I’ve been experiencing significant low neck pain, upper back and shoulder pain.. joint pain, hip pain, internal aches and woke up every morning feeling like a dumpster fire. I saw your video about you getting an infected tooth removed and it cleared your pain and I thought i wonder if my dental care is contributing to this since NOTHING was helping. I didn’t have tooth pain. Got X-rays and sure enough I had an upper molar with a huge cyst in my sinus cavity. I had oral surgery Monday and literally my body feels 90% better! Your videos turn on light bulbs for us. I never would have correlate the two! Thank you
Awww. Yay! So glad you figured out your issue there! Dr. Eric Berg is amazing!! We need soooo many more doc's like him in the practice, badly... Keep doing what you're doing Doc!!! You're helping so many more people than you know.

Hello, so glad you are feeling better and the information was helpful. Thanks for sharing here. Keep up the good work!
Can be, but also eat low sugar and carbs diet.
My health is getting better...after retiring extremely early.

Thank you
In summary, what is the remedy?
Thank you
I solved plaque formation by simply removing the sugar from my diet.
I had tartar for 25 years and I could not find any solution to stop its formation. When I removed all suger from my diet, the tartar just disappeared.
Remove sugar means avoid the food which contains artificial sugar. The fruits are fine.
Thank you for your videos, mr. Berg ! All contains usefull informations !
Very true. Stop eating processed sugars,
Yes because the sugar is basically food for the bacteria that allows it to form into layers - which turns into plaque
Has anyone here tried using Xylitol toothpaste? I made some with xylitol powder, coconut oil, baking Soda and cinnamon. My teeth feel great. I used to have sensitive teeth but not anymore. I’ve read a few positive studies on the effects of xylitol and oral health…much better and safer than fluoride!
Try brushing with aloe straight from the plant. It takes the sensitivity away. I did just learn that aloe has latex in it. To remove it, just soak in water for 10 to 15 minutes and see the yellow green goo emerge. Then slice it and use it right on your brush. An amazing clean. I've been making my own toothpaste for years with baking soda and coconut oil and sometimes added activated charcoal powder, some mint oil... felt great. The aloe...cleans like nothing I've ever used. I like oil pulling, to finish the process. I'm not a dr. Just a DIY kinda person who's known about fluoride since I was a kid. My dad worked at the water department and didn't want to do that part of the job. 😢 but he protected us. Our water was great. Totally different when he retired. Try the aloe! It really works!!!
I haven't used xylitol. I just saw the sensitivity issue.
Yeah he mentioned chewing Xylitol gum
@@jawnaraestokes5836 thanks, I will definitely try the aloe. I grow lots and have used it to make face cream, but haven’t thought to use it in toothpaste 🦷

I am 46 and have only ever had three medical conditions in my life. All three of them the doctors couldn’t remedy. One minor thing had gone on for 11 years, and another minor thing had gone on for a year and a half.

Thank you!
Would you care to share the 3 conditions and the treatments? I'm sure many people would love to know, myself included.

I brush my teeth only with distilled water and I don’t have tartar or plaque around my teeth. I think it has something to do with tap water. Thank you for shedding light on Flouride. I’ve wanted to get a whole house distiller and I only drink distilled water as well. I do eat a lot of veggies and fruit as well and that’s where I get my minerals.
Funny u mention this, I put distilled water in a spray bottle yesterday and sprayed some on my toothbrush n toothpaste this a.m. while brushing. I'm curious to find out how it works out as far as plaque
I do the same... Just started (a few months ago) using distilled water when brushing my teeth. Something in my spirit just said to start that. Thank you for saying that.
Same, and I only drink distilled water. I don't need, or trust some water company adding big bags of minerals to their water.
Coconut oil, baking soda and Redmonds salt for me. No tartar. Of course, I eat no artificial or processed foods either.
do you use toothpaste? or only distilled water? thats crazy

Probiotics never helped my gum disease tbh. I’ve had gum disease as long as I can remember. Using a water flosser before brushing with a non fluoride remineralizing toothpaste, and using a higher quality floss (coco floss) has been a total game changer for me. The water flosser in particular. It’s like pressure washing my teeth and gums before I brush. For the first time I’m no longer having bleeding and my hygienist is thrilled with my progress.
very true it turned around my gingivitis have had good teeth ever since
Why do water floss before brushing instead of after brushing?
What brand toothpaste?
Use xylotil gums after every meal...
@@疑是地上霜床前明月光how can the toothpaste reach your teeth gap if a piece of meat blocks the way? flossing before brushing is just like how you sweep/ vacuum before mopping.

I saw this documentary on your slobber and it was pretty Awakening to me. They say your saliva is there for a reason, because it kills bacteria and pathogens in your mouth.

Because chewing your food also breaks it down so it's easier to digest you're spit cleanses the food before it goes into your gut.

Fluoride is natural in the water in Arizona
@@MLM111 Water in Arizona that you pump out of the ground? Or that falls from the Heavens? Or that a government agency pumps to you out of sight?
Jons Hopkins have a study on rats teeth which became more brittle after fluoridisation. The study happened about 100 years ago after it was noticed in the 1800s that fluoride attaches to the skeleton which is the body's way of shunting it to a part of the body that will not make the soft tissues toxic. The study attempted to establish whether or not fluoride strengthened bones by that affinity but fluoride is less dense than calcium, therefore it could be a contributory factor toward osteoporosis. In India there is a lot of naurally occurring fluoride in the ground and most often it is women who suffer from skeletal malformation of that.

My husband and I have been married for over forty years and of course use the same water and eat pretty much the same foods, except my husband eats way more sugar! I asked our hygienist why his report is always excellent and why I always have a lot of plaque. She told me that some people just naturally make more plaque than others.??🤷♀️
Sugars and carbs cause plaque.
Clean carnivore diet.
It has to do a lot with mouth ph which varies from person to person; breathing habits, saliva composition, etc. And what bacteria live in your mouth as well im sure. One way in which fermented foods make a difference is that they are acidic; which is a great way to get rid of tartar. It dissolves it really fast; but not only your tartar of course. I started restricting my fermented food intake last year when I got very sensitive teeth due to thinning enamel. I was able to reverse that in a few months luckily; but sure enough my tartar buildup also went up. The dissolution vs precitipation of calcium in your mouth is a balance; and frankly id rather be a bit on the tartar-accumulating side of things. If you buy the right tools (soft metals, no hard steels) you can teach yourself to remove tartar safely, and its nothing too bothersome.

I had my teeth cleaned last week. My hygienist insisted on using a fluoride treatment and I refused. She went on to question me as to why I was against it.

There is one thing that gives me pause about sauerkraut which I was eating every day. Isn't acidic food bad for your teeth? Sauerkraut has a pH of 3.30-3.60.
Thank you for helping us.
I used to work in a laboratory. One of the most dangerous acids some of our researchers used what Hydrofluoric Acid. You have to take extreme precautions when using it because it is highly volatile and loves to embed itself in bones and teeth. It can not be handled like any of the other acids because it will cause so much damage to the body in a tiny drop. It also will eat through glass. I try to stay away from anything that has fluoride in it. I can't imagine that it beneficial to the body in the amounts present in tap water, or toothpaste.

I watched a documentary on fluoride is a byproduct from making aluminum and they had a problem getting rid of this byproduct and came up with the ideal solution by putting it in the water.
Now that is evil, person who allowed it was in the health department, over it, was also part of the corporations making the fertilisers
I’d like to watch it, what is it called?
Holy shyt I just asked Chat GPT and you are right 😳
You:
Is it true that industry is putting the flouride byproduct into water to get rid of it?
ChatGPT:
Yes, that's correct. Fluoride compounds, including those generated as byproducts in industrial processes like aluminum production, are sometimes added to public water supplies as a means of fluoridation. This practice is intended to improve dental health by reducing tooth decay. However, the addition of fluoride to drinking water is a subject of debate and can vary by location and local regulations.
ChatGPT can make mistakes. Consider checking important
Yes, you’re right, that which is dumped into our water supply and used in dentistry is sodium fluoride, a byproduct of aluminium product, however, it’s not being dumped in our water supply just by chance they know exactly what it does it lowers the IQ and it’s subdued the masses that used to use it against the Jews in Germany.

I stopped having plaque when I went carnivore. My tonsil stones also disappeared, as well as the film I always had on my tongue. I'll also say that I took probiotics for years, up to about two months after starting carnivore (carnivore 2 years 8 months now) and they honestly never helped me. I kept taking them because I was desperate for relief, but they didn't do much. In fact, I had had nothing but liquid stools for a good 10 years (been taking probiotics maybe 8 of those) and nothing at all had helped. When I started carnivore, which was my last thing to try, I didn't think it was going to help me either. Then two months in I decided to cut out the probiotics and within a month I had my first formed bowel movement in over a decade.

I just bought some regular xylitol from Amazon. I put it my vitamix and powdered it. I keep it in the bathroom in an airtight container and spoon about a quarter teaspoon over top of the toothpaste on my brush. The reason I do not use the xylitol gum or mints is because if it gets accidentally dropped my dog could snap it up before I could stop her. It is highly toxic to dogs. The powder is cheaper and safer. I never get plaque now. My teeth always feel like they did the day I have a cleaning.

Can you please make a video dedicated to root canals and whether or not their okay to have? I’m only asking because the day I had my first root canal is the day I started experiencing major health issues and I’m unsure if it’s related or not.
They are absolutely related to further health problems. A lot of new evidence coming out to show the link. Mental problems, pain issues, and many more.
Watch out as dentists do not consider root canals serious. They are. I had some problems with my teeth. Dentist recommended 3 root canals. Left office, researched. Studied when RC needed. Infection. Had none. Pain. Had none. Asked dentist what indicated infection, to show me on X-ray. There was none. What could he say? Visits later, he remarked, “well, since you don’t like root canals . . .” What does that mean? They are taught to push root canals, me thinks.
I would pull tooth, probably consider the old method, bridge. Have to find dentist who still does that. But it worked for decades, didn’t it?
Don’t think much of implants either.
@@carolb6549
I had two bridges put in, and in order for the bridge to fit, they grind down the teeth that the. bridge sits on, then you have to get root canals on the teeth that are little stubs close to the nerves. I had to get 3, and will need more most likely. Maybe better to pull teeth and get implants, or pull teeth and just eat baby food.
@@carolb6549 What’s wrong with implants? I have had two root canals separate from each other. My pain started the same day if not moment I had my first root canal. Since then I have had the first one extracted and the pain still exists. I thought since it started from that then that is what it must be. As of typing this message, I still have one root canal in my mouth that I’ve been holding off on extracting it because every place I’ve been to says it looks fine on their CT scans. I’ve been diagnosed with ATypical type 2 neuralgia and I’m not sure if it’s from the root canal or not. My endodontist once adjust one of my root canals and told me to wait and not bite on them for 10 days which is impossible. He told me that it was hitting against the nerve or I think the other tooth at the time like a hammer. I asked him if they can cause pain within the body and he said “ absolutely, the body is one long wire”. Fast forward years later and he say that it’s not and that he doesn’t remember me saying that. I only need the truth because every time I go somewhere or get an x-ray done, they note something small, then when I come back for a follow up, all of a sudden it’s gone. This has happened many times and due to that I suspect that they are hiding things from me and displacing blame saying it’s something else and that they’re not involved. Since having my first ever root canal, I have been experiencing chronic inflammation 24/7 and it feels like my organs are being stabbed by a thousand knives radiating throughout my body (all except my right leg for whatever reason) I had blood work done and my ENA screen came back detected. Also something about positive anti body. My doctor told me that my body is basically fighting itself which I had already known. The pain itself never changes, it’s always a 7/10 for me and what makes it worse how the pain is affecting me i.e. respiratory distress, digestive issues, unable to concentrate etc. I tried many medication, foods, remedies etc., none helped because something is causing my pain simultaneously. Only a local anesthetic to my left side of jaw reliefs the nerve which in turn relieved almost all my pain (my root canals where done on the bottom right molars). I thought adjusting the root canal tooth again would help because most often I bite and clench on the right side of my jaw as if I’m trying to get rid of a scratch I can’t itch. At first I thought it was excess material although I’m always told it has plenty of space between the nerve and tooth. Is this feeling a result of referred pain? There were many occasions in which local anesthesia would be injected into my left nerve trunk and that temporary relieves the pain. I’m left confused with all this. I understand nerves are complicated and I can’t rely on where I feel the pain because it’s in multiple areas of my body. I’m only focused on my mouth because that’s when it started and there were times of relief(temporary as it been) in my body as-well. Does anybody know what I should do because based on this I’m unsure whether or not the cause is the root canal or something else because both side are telling me otherwise. I know the teeth and heart are connected and I feel like a constant stabbing sensation in my body (with the exception of my right leg). I hope Dr. Berg can help me with this problem.
I would have the teeth polled since they are just dead teeth after the nerve has been removed.
Me &my family stopped using flouride a few years ago. We hadnt been to dentist for 4 years and our dentist couldn't believe how clean all our teeth were. I believe that flouride makes stuff stick to your teeth.
Wonderful advice, I never heard that approach and it makes sense ! Thanks Dr. Berg ! and…bonjour from France 🇫🇷 !😊
Regarding fluoride, the inorganic NAF that is in most toothpaste, is much less effective for reminalization and against caries, than organic fluoride, like stannous fluoride and amine-fluoride.
Follow oil pulling technique using coconut oil every morning before brushing your teeth.
It's a wonder for your teeth and overall health.
Totalmente de acuerdo, si todos supieran de este maravilloso remedio muchos higienista quedarán sin trabajo. Doy fe de ello,he recuperado mis encías, mis dientes super limpios,la maravilla.

It is impossible to prevent dental plaque formation forever. You just have to brush and floss your teeth everyday. If you brush your teeth at night, you wake up in the morning with plaque (biofilm) in the morning. of course there are factors that can increase plaque formation, such as high blood sugar and hormonal changes in women among many. Do you mean you can stop calculus/tartar formation forever? This depends on the minerals in your saliva, diet and your routine oral hygiene. Some people have more minerals in their saliva therefore they are more prone to calculus formation. Some foods deposit more minerals on your teeth. If you have poor oral hygiene and your teeth is covered in biofilm(slimy fuzzy layer when you don't brush teeth), the minerals in your diet and saliva will deposit on the biofilm and it will harden and form calculus which needs to be removed mechanically at your dentist office.
My personal experience with the mouth microbiome, sickness & dental health:
I catched covid at christmas 2023 for the first time, used all anti-microbial remedies to get rid of it but developed severe step throat right afterwards which didn't seem to improve despite antibiotics so I changed my approach from killing -> restoring the balance in my mouth. I fermented my own kefir and after 3 days of drinking it the strep throat disappeared, not only that but also my gum problems improved.
Caught.
You CAUGHT covid...

You don't take antibiotics for a viral infection. You probably weakened your system and that made you worse off. Sorry.
Fluoride is not in my toothpaste or water I drink. If I get any fluoride, it's from taking a shower. But I drink spring water that does not contain fluoride, every couple weeks I go and fill glass bottles from the spring (so it's not already bottled and bought that way).
You have a spring near you?

So early this year a dentist did X-rays found a gray area under front bottom tooth 🦷 but I thought since it didn’t bother me why fix it. Fast forward first of September I came down with dual ear infection… a week later the tooth started hurting had a root canal. Then came down with UTI/kidney infection with fever, low blood pressure, extremely low sodium folic acid, and severe fatigue and exhaustion, next vertigo, plus both my feet came down with athletes feet 👣, then dentist put me on penicillin 500 mg 4 times a day, then had allergic reaction to penicillin with itching and gained 5-7 lbs so I stopped using it, then yeast infection and now joint pain in shoulders and sacrum and coccyx area. So reading other peoples comments here I do believe this infection had gone throughout my body and I’m still recovering fortunately, I’m finally back at work and I have the strength to walk again, but I don’t think it’s over yet.
What water filtration system do you use, Dr. Berg?
What kind of probiotics should I look for? For plaque? Which kind of bacteria? Or brand?
You have at least 3 different videos on how to make your own tooth paste, all different recipes. Could you please do an update on what is best, why you would omit some and add the others?
What does he recommend in those videos?
I am grateful for you Dr berg
Glad to help!
Thanks 🍁. Appreciate the hard research Dr. Berg.
You are very welcome.
I was able to remineralize my daughter's teeth by following the weston price diet and removing gluten, most dentist wanted to pull out her teeth at 1.5 years, she is 3 now and they are all saved, all dentist are impressed
Eating non cariogenic foods like carrots and celery help also
So eating canned carrots will help??
Thank you Dr. Berg. For EVERYTHING you share that means a world to me living healthier! I really appreciate you. ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
You're welcome. Happy to share this video. Stay safe.
Edward Bernays helped the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) and other special interest groups to convince the American public that water fluoridation was safe and beneficial to human health. This was achieved by using the American Dental Association in a highly successful media campaign.
I was watching another video of yours and started using xylitol toothpaste. It's only been 3 days but so far so good!
NOT A RECOMMENDATION SINCE DENTAL CARE DIFFERS IN THE WORLD. I'm a Swedish dentist. We recommend fluoride be used every day when brushing your teeth (morning and evening) and even more if you have active caries. But don't swallow it! Fluoride, just like salt and H2O, can be deadly in high doses, but beneficial in the right dosage/exposure (although salt and H2O are necessary for our survival..., fluoride is not). There are many homes in the world where the development of the teeth is affected in a bad way because of too much fluoride in the drinking water - most of the time, they have their own well. There are also many who suffer because of lack of fluoride exposure, with Caries (tooth decay) as a result - leading to treatments like fillings, root canal treatments, crowns, dentures and extractions (extractions is the only treatment where you don't put in exogenous material...). Your teeth benefit from fluoride, so the best way to use fluoride is to only expose the the teeth and not swallow it. So as long as there is not too much fluoride in the drinking water and you don't swallow the applied fluoride meant for your teeth - you should be fine.
Also, fluoride i recommended to prevent caries, but how often and what you eat affects if you get cavities or not also - by a lot. There is of course genetics in play regarding cavities as well as our saliva differs...
Tartar depends on your saliva composition (mostly genetic) and oral hygiene.

I went on carnivore about 5 months ago and switched to Xylitol toothpaste. I used to get awful plaque buildup on my lower front teeth. Since my changes I have ZERO plaque buildup. NONE. And I only use mouthwash when I'm planning to smooch on my husband! And we have a water filter that filters out fluoride.
Nice. Short and concise. Thanks Dr
Thank you. Glad you like this. Happy Friday!
Thank you doctor berg for this helpful info, very clear and concise! Truly helpful!
I believe your a miracle worker. Love your Dr ing❤
Thanks, really appreciated!
In the Netherlands, no fluoride is added to drinking water supplies. Since 1973. The government wanted it since 1953 but a lawsuit stopped it. That was after some people got headaches and that was probably from fluoride addition.
My Dad died at 91 with all of his teeth and they were beautiful! He was also extremely healthy. He used fluoride toothpaste. I heard of a woman who stopped using fluoride toothpaste and her teeth started getting bad. She went back to fluoride toothpaste and all of her issues went away. I wonder if it depends on the person.
So is there a direct correlation between fluoride and tartar build-up? So plaque was not so common before fluoride toothpastes. This is clearly not true. Two of the articles cited do not mention fluoride at all, and the third says not to drink (!) high doses because it has a negative effect on the gut microbiome. How did you conclude that fluoride in toothpaste changes the flora of the mouth, which triggers tartar formation?
I have been cleaning my mouth with caster oil. Works, nice white teeth, no tooth paste. Tastes good feels good, dont swollow.
I always wonder why I have plaque. I have to get it cleaned every 4 months. I think cigar smoking makes my mouth dry and that lets the bacteria thrive which creates plaque/calculus. I eat a lot of probiotic foods. The dentist always does that fluoride treatment. I never had a cavity. But gingivitis is no joke.
Respectfully, isn't fluoride effective in remineralizing teeth? Isn't it needed sometimes?
I have had surgery 3 times for cancer in my gums. Never smoked and don't drink alcohol. Doctor doesn't know why it keeps coming back. I have a whole house water filter even though our city doesn't put fluoride in our water. Have been looking for toothpaste without all the additives. Thank you
Hygienist here… Probably HPV. One of the main causes of oral cancer
