Your best health and most content self is achievable through a healthy lifestyle, centered around abundant whole plant foods and genuine self-care. It’s achievable if you gather the common-sense information, cut the bullshit, and commit to your wellbeing as a real priority.
I also encourage us all to acknowledge our inherent responsibility to protect our environment (currently being decimated by animal agriculture: the leading cause of green house gas emissions) and speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves: the billions of sentient beings who are tortured and slaughtered every year. OUR CHOICES MATTER.

Idk how I got so lucky, but I am 47 yrs old & have never had a cavity. I also haven't been to the dentist in almost 20 yrs till recently. I decided I should go, & had a perfect check up! I've always used medium bristle tooth brushes, & a fluoride free tooth paste. I've also used straight baking soda, & every blue moon swish & brush w/ alil peroxide. I know, most ppl don't like medium bristle brushes, but I've always found that soft bristles didn't clean my teeth so well. I brush 2xs a day, & also don't drink sodas or smoke
The essential thingq for healthy teeth
Calcium
Vitamin d3
Vitamin k2
I met a holistic dentists and the difference is amazing; she absolutely refuses to do root canals and will never endorse toxic fluoride. We have to do as much as we can though on our end to care for our teeth, not rely on on dentists only.
Hi Lily, I am a dental hygienist and I agree with all of your tips. You should be skeptical of some dentists but there are good ones out there and if you take great care of your teeth then all you need are cleanings. By the way you would make a great hygienist!
I'm so glad to hear! I was probably unfair to dentists... they get it from all directions, don't they? Poor guys. I did think about becoming a hygienist and was trying to plot ways I could have an outdoor office... 🤣
T B will this advice fix my cavities ? i went to get my cavities filled and had a terrible experience and i am so traumatized i have dreams about it and i don’t want to go back

Many thanks, been searching for "how to get rid of tooth decay at home" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Nelevi Gapify Elimination - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
hey ,if anyone else wants to discover whiten teeth fast try Mackorny New Smile Blueprint (just google it )?
It is a good exclusive guide for whitening teeth without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
Rinse mouth with water first after eating sticky foods then brush. Similar to what you said about not brushing immediately after citrus foods
Guys please check your Vit D levels and get enough calcium and magnesium and Vit k2 . This will help you build strong teeth. And then you can maintain them with all the above techniques.
That’s why she talks about getting enough minerals from the diet. Unfortunately in some areas of the world, vitamin D cannot be obtained in adequate amounts from the sun. Good point.
she said - Getting vitamins from diet not supplements. Vitamin D can be toxic and there are numerous studies that show women who supplement with vitamin D on a regular basis are more prone to bone fractures. So unless you have a Vitamin D deficiency I would keep my hands away from it. The same with calcium more calcium doesn't necessarily means good. Just eat healthy whole foods plant based and you don't need to supplement
I recently started using a water pik. After brushing with a sonicare and flossing I still see specks of food come out with the water pik. That was a game changer!
Thank you for the tip!
@@lilykoihawaii I just got a water pik from a client. She's in her 60's and has had gum grafts. She discovered the water pik and it was a game changer for her. I am finding it to be a great tool, too. Thank you for the info. I wasn't sure how to address dental care with my morning intake of lemon water, and acidic fruits and food. Great info.
I use one too! Waterpik is not a replacement for regular flossing but great when used in combination. I also add an herbal solution and salt to my waterpik. Saltwater heals my gums and reduces bacteria. Also, why don’t hygienists teach individuals how to use a dental scaler? Could be very helpful for those who are responsible enough to use one safely and correctly.
I use fresh ozone water in my water pick
It’s refreshing to not just hear the same old things when it comes to dental hygiene. I’ve been so stressed about my teeth because the top front ones have lost nearly all their enamel. They’re extremely thin and brittle. I’m going to have to get them capped and I’m so scared it will be too late to save them. At this point I will take in any information I can get. On top of all your tips I’d like to add that prayer, meditation, and creative visualization can be great tools in all types of healing.
I would like to add learning how to brush your teeth the proper way! :) So many people seem to scrub their teeth way too hard and end up with notches at the gum line and can ruin the enamel over a long period of time. Also, if you are going to drink anything sugary/acidic to do it quickly in one sitting and drink water afterwards as apposed to sipping on sugar all day and end up promoting the rapid growth of nasty bacteria.
I usually rinse my mouth with water after eating, mostly to get rid of the excess food. I'm so happy to hear it's been doing more good!
Love it! Great video :) My 18 year old son, has never had a cavitiy, although he's had resin in his back molars. We NEVER used flouride, only xylitol based products, love the sonic care, and has all his wisdom teeth* in, as well... maybe it's "good" genes, but without question, good nutrition, and non-toxic "lesser of the evils" xylitol, as well as pristine hygeine, is really the best way to go.
I'm so happy for him!! I hope he's able to keep his wisdom teeth long-term... I appreciated having mine, but they got cavities because I wasn't cleaning them well enough 😫Since I was 25 they said my only options were to pull them now or the roots would grow around my nerve and it would become a nightmare, so I had them pulled. Oh well! And may I say, A+ parenting!
Hey, awesome comment!! And go you ( and your son) that’s brill! Loves the vid too^ was just wanting to ask how you use xylitol? I really want to use it in my oral care routine but it gives me stomach ache if I ingest even little amount, Thank you
Which xylitol products would you recommend?
What benefits does xylitol have for dental health thankyou
I wish I had all the info available to me that people have now back when I started implanting a plant based diet a good 15 years ago..I actually ended up losing a lot of my teeth and it literally changed my face..its actually really sad...its so important that individuals like you spread these messages in any way they can...thank you!
Did your face and teeth change because of your diet? Or what was the cause? o:
Can you make a video explaining more about oil pulling & the dangers?
Dr Gregor made some good ones on nutritrionfacts.org
@@turtlesandminnows he is a liar though.
No one warned me oil pulling would pull my white fillings out .Sad because I saw the health return to my gums ,most likely good that they did fall out found out white fillings are made from plastic ,I would be amazed to see my teeth regrow ,what a blessing!!!😍
@@marybwest4360 did oil pulling regrow your tooth enamel?
Mary Bernadette West update?
I actually think this is one of the best videos you have ever made. I stopped going to the dentist in my 20s (and only went sporadically as a kid) because even just the checkups and cleanings were too expensive for me at the time, and I’m paying for it now. I’ve had root canals and extractions and am in the process of getting some implants that cost about 5,000 to 7,000 each! I wish I could turn back the clock and take better care of my teeth.
patty 8873 same girl. I’ve only had to have one extraction but those implants are freaking expensive. And I had to get two crowns that are 1000 each. Teeth are expensive. I’ve learned my lesson and I’m determined to take good care of my teeth now so I can keep them!
I've had the same tooth crowned twice now, wisdom teeth pulled, and too many smaller cavities, I feel you... You don't realize until the damage is done!
lilykoi hawaii wait my dentist said my crown should last a minimum of 10-15 years. Why did u already have to crown it twice?! 😩
patty 8873...My shinola sensors went off on this one. You're full of crappola. Implants are $1700, not $7000. I have 4 individual ones & expect to get more. If a person would have 1 done every 2 or 3 years, they will have completely swapped all their bad teeth for new ones as they go bad over time. Beats dentures & prevents resorption, you know, sunk-in witches mouth?
This info is way more better than what you normaly get from other bloggers on UA-cam. Especially the tip with saliva pulling. I recently read that saliva is the best way to prevent cavities.
Salt water rinse is also very good. People in Russia used to brush teeth with salt and using their fingers instead of brush. People used to have very healthy teeth back then. Nowadays is not the case thanks to toothpastes and dietary changes
Yes Lily! I’ve been a follower of yours for years now, & normally keep my mouth shut re: dental stuff online (b/c I’m a dentist 😳 and people tend to hate us...) I left the profession a few years ago due to a health condition as well as hating the ‘business’ stuff. But here goes - THANK YOU for your fabulous information for people here!! We can each take good care of our teeth & prevent irreversible dental issues. And dental treatment for cavities & root canal problems is also irreversible & has detrimental consequences for the rest of your life. If I could add two things: try to wait for 30 minutes after eating to brush your teeth, or if you can’t, do some kind of water/remineralizing rinse first. Otherwise you’ll be wearing away demineralized enamel. Also, the radiation exposure from most dental x-rays is the same as being outside for a day or so. For more comprehensive x-rays, it’s like taking a flight in a plane. So don’t worry about it once a year ;) You’re the best Lily!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, Amy! A bit of prevention goes a long, long way when it comes to dental health, as you know 😘
Some dentists say that we can brush our teeth straight away after our meal. But some say must wait for half an hour. I confuse that which one is correct.
I did a bunch of urine retention enemas to get my teeth regenerated enough to do a week long hot spring water fast. I have also urine "soaked" my teeth for up to ten hours a day, which not only regenerates the teeth, but also draws out infection.
sorry this isnt related to the video, but you look absolutely radiant these days!
Roxie! Thank you for taking the time to leave me such a sweet comment!
For some reason, I always had the assumption that unless my teeth hurt they were fine. I've been terrible at taking care of my teeth and I've really woken up to the damage I'm likely causing. Thank you, you've motivated me to take the time to book an appointment with my dentist (will also go see my Dr for a check up since they are in the same city) to get myself checked out and any problems dealt with before they get serious.
I've done some research on dental health and found some fascinating facts you all might want to know. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, flossing etc. are only used because we are destroying our teeth by eating processed foods.In March 1974, Lt. Hiro Onoda emerged from the jungles of the Philippine Islands after living a precarious , marginal existence for almost 30 years. Onoda had been holding out all that time for a direct order from his superior officer to surrender. He flew home to a hero’s welcome in Tokyo. After doctors examined him it was announced: No cavities! No Crest! No Fluoride! Certainly no sugar. And no cavities. Sugar-drunk Americans the same age as the Japanese lieutenant have lost , on the average, half of their teeth! By the age of 55, one out of every two American’s has lost all their teeth. Harvard professor Earnest Hooten said in Apes, men and Morons:
“Lets is cease pretending that toothbrushes and toothpaste
are anymore important than shoe brushes and shoe polish.
It is store food that has given us store teeth”
Back in 1958, Time Magazine reported that a Harvard biochemist and
his assistants had worked with myriads of mice for more than 10 years, bank
rolled by the Sugar Research Foundation, Inc. to the tune of $57,000 dollars,
to find out how sugar causes dental cavities and how to prevent it. It took
a whole ten years to discover that there was no way to prevent sugar causing
dental decay. When the researchers reported their findings in Dental Association
Journal, their source of money dried up and the Sugar Research Foundation
withdrew it’s support. The more scientists disappointed them, the more the
sugar pushers had to rely on the ad men. “It is a rule of thumb,” wrote Paul
Hawkin, “the more you see a product advertised, the more of a rip-off it is.”
All you have to do is flip through the medical journals of the past 50 years to see
that the whole tooth decay phenomenon was addressed and settled long ago as to it’s
cause and cure. One of the classical dental studies was done by the British government on the islands of Tristan da Cunha in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between South African and South America.. Because of their isolation, for many years, islanders lived mainly on fish and potatoes. They did not consume refined sugar, and they were examined regularly by dental officers of the British Navy. In 1938, not one decayed adult first molar was found in residents under the age of 20 on the entire island.
By 1962 the islanders were soaking up about a pound of sugar per person per week-about 1/3 of what the average American consumes. At that time, half the islanders in the same category had rotting teeth. And there are over 100 almost identical studies in Ghana, Sough Africa, Britain, Australia, Sweden, Norway, The U.S. and a couple dozen other countries. It is quite plain to the scientific community but not to the sugar pushers who love to sell us white sugar by the mountains. Dr. F.A.Sterling of New York declared:
“Natives of Africa whom I have examined have possessed teeth in perfect condition,
due entirely to their living on course , natural food. I have observed that the nearer
people are to primitive nature, the better their health”
If you want to know a family with perfect teeth just do what Dr. Alfred Aslander, of Stockholm did with his four children. The doctor and his wife both had very bad teeth and he was determined to give his children a better start. Incidentally, he thought he might prove that although poor teeth might be inherited, an unfortunate heredity could be corrected. And he did prove just that. He prescribed finely ground bone meal to be added the family’s orange juice. The result was that his four children had grown up with beautiful sturdy teeth. When the teeth of over a thousand children were inspected in a school in Stockholm, there were only four children with perfect teeth; and whose children do you suppose they were? They were the children of Dr. and Mrs. Aslander!
Weston A. Price traveled the world meeting indigenous peoples. He noticed that those who adhered to their traditional diets of whole foods all had white, straight teeth with zero to very few cavities. I could be wrong but I don't think most "primitive" cultures used toothbrushes or flossed daily. However, people that adopted the highly processed foods lifestyle of modern commerce had children with crowded chompers and cavities galore. Vitamins and minerals through nutrition trumps oral hygiene routines; not to say the later isn't helpful too!
Mike M genetics and environmental factors also at play.
Yes! I am a huge fan of his work! I stumbled upon Dr. Weston A. Price's research when I was trying to heal myself of cancer!
@Mike M: You make a good point. All the good brushing techniques won't make up for a diet that is ruining the teeth from the inside... i.e. the body's overall health and the nutrition taken in. Primitive groups never had toothbrushes, but they had excellent teeth. They also gnawed on bones, which probably helped, and ate animal foods like eggs, milk, and often meat of some kind. All of them. Whether fish, insects, game, birds, or bison or whatever they had in their area! I tried to think of one tribe where they were vegan. There were none. If there were, they didn't make it and we have no record of them. or they changed from veganism before they went extinct.
Every tribe or culture improves their dental health and bone structure when they go back to a more primitive diet...regardless of genes. One interesting way to study genetics and dental health is to look at twin studies. Weston Price had an example of twin boys who had different food preferences, one ate bread, jam, potatoes, etc. the other preferred eating lots of vegetables and meat, fish, etc. The meat-eating one had a better bone structure and better teeth.
One thing Dr. Price found noted was that grains and beans and seeds have a lot of phytic acid in the seed coating, which is removed by soaking and rinsing--and if this isn't done, they body takes in the phytic acid which then blocks calcium absorption. Oatmeal is one grain which doesn't work even with the soaking. So eating these grains over a period of time, in particular, whole grains, is going to deplete your mineral and calcium levels.
There are also animal fats which are important in the absorption of calcium, such as butter which has "X factor"...which helps us use the calcium we take in, and deposit it in the teeth. Avoiding butter is not a great idea, it's a healthy food. Particularly from grass-fed cows, goats or sheep.
All primitive tribes ate animal foods. All of them. Sorry to rain on the vegan parade but time will prove this out: it is not the best choice for long-term health, and will put your teeth at risk if followed over time. All the beans and seeds, plus grains, are one of the worst parts of it. If you cut those out, you restrict an already restricted diet! Making it even more difficult to get all the essentials you need long-term. Oh yes, when you are young and healthy, veganism can be supported for quite a while. But watch the effect on your teeth over time. There's more to it than brushing and flossing. Healthy teeth are healthy from the inside-out. That means the diet has to really support the tooth and the bone structure and collagen supports, the flow of blood and minerals and so on. Good dental hygiene practices are important! Don't get me wrong. But without the diet that supports the teeth from the inside of the tooth, they will not be enough.
A word on oats, a vegan fave. I used to be vegan for a while, and also an oatmeal fan, oatcakes, granola, etc. They are one of the worst items you can eat. Check out Ramiel Nagel's book on healing tooth decay naturally. His family had been more on the vegan health side of things, and his little daughter developed tooth decay. Which reversed when they started eating more traditional animal foods as part of their whole food diet.
I adore your channel, as it is a place to start with reflection, regeneration and personal investigation. With that said, I want to draw your attention to your statement that:
‘…as it turns out oil pulling actually erodes your enamel’, with an insert of a diagram.
I want to draw your attention to a few key facts I found: 1) The research (as represented by the screen shot) was carried out by Hannig, et al (2012) using Safflower oil and not the recommended (by the online community, into mainstream) coconut oil. As quoted by Hannig, et al (2012)
‘… it is noteworthy that the mineral content of safflower oil itself is very low and will not affect the erosive process.’
So, one of the factors in this particular experiment was to keep the mineral content down. Key constituent when in using Coconut oil: mineral content.
2) The Safflower oil used was from Brölio Distelöl, Brökelmann & Co. Ölmühle GmbH & Co., Hamm, Germany. It was not mentioned in the research paper whether the oil was organic, raw or cold pressed or any information about its ‘composition’. Cold pressed, I could deem important, as it has been mentioned that heating can create an acidic product with coconut oil (but I have yet to find research papers on such, so still digging).
3) The research was carried out in situ with HCl to ‘simulate’ exposure to acidic food, as the purpose of the research was looking at the effect of the oil on the protective layer (pellicle) a protective film on the teeth, after using the oil: the diagram in the screen shot. Showed the Pellicle layer diminished in the screen shot, not the enamel.
The research would have proved beneficial if using various acids, as this research was based on the earlier work by Hannig (2005) who points out that the erosive effects on enamel depended on ‘pH and type of acid.’ So that would have been prudent to start there. It would also have been of import to include, alkaline and sugar based environments as research variables as, I don’t find Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) in many food items, if any, that I eat.
4) The conclusions drawn determined that ‘rinsing with safflower oil…impairs protections AGAINST HCl’. Yet, Hannig states, that
‘patients are free to adopt these foodstuffs for care of oral soft tissues as they have been described to prevent gingival inflammation…and thus might serve as an adjuvant oral therapeutic agent on the oral soft tissues.’
And their paper, ‘Do edible oils reduce bacterial colonization of enamel in situ? Clinical Oral Investigations, vol. 17, no. 2, pp. 649-658, they conclude that
‘rinses with edible oils have no significant impact on the initial pattern and amount of bacterial colonization on enamel over 8 h and modify the ultrastructure of the pellicle.’
So, in a nutshell (sorry to drag on) this information based on the use of one type of oil, unlike coconut or even olive oil for oil pulling, does not apply in this circumstance, as both the variables (Safflower and HCl) are not indicative of the conditions that reflect the everyday supporters of oil pulling. Still it supports it as a method for oral therapy.
Excellent video.. I'm just sad that I never learned how serious this type of information is until I already started suffering with my own oral health.
It's very nice of you to put this information out there!!
I hope people take it seriously before it's too late for them.
BEST TEETH VIDEO EVER!!! thank you so much!
It's like you were reading my mind with this video! I was just wishing for a video on teeth
You are the first person I heard say oil pulling mess with the enamel on your teeth
How I saved my teeth, in order of importance:
1. I stopped going to the dentist altogether... I started noticing that after I got a dental cleaning, inevitably a few months later I would have a large and hurting cavity that had to get filled or root canal'd. (My theory is that I have soft teeth and dental cleaning creates tiny cavities which enlarge over time. I have had cleanings with 7 different dentists/hygienists and always led to cavities.) After a few years of this, I stopped going to the dentist and instead doing the things below. No hurting teeth since then.
2. Take calcium-magnesuum supplements. I take 500mg of calcium per day.
3. Waterfloss after each meal or snacking.
I don't advise that everyone stop getting professional dental cleanings but do pay attention to whether you consistently get cavities afterwards...
It has been more than 5 years since I've gone to the dentist and my teeth have never hurt since.
This is a perfect guide to follow for anyone who is interested in Holistic and Biological Dentistry!
I didn't know you could use your own salvia as a mouthwash. Good to know. Thank you!
Love you Lily!! So informative and amzing videos:) just wondered about a shaving video? Good,bad and best way?
I love your videos!! Thank you for putting out great info. I've learnt alot! Off topic, I'm very lucky I've found a doctor who's vegan. I was fed up being told to eat meat. She's just down the road from where I live. She's so popular which is great!! I think if I move ill always travel back to see her.
Thanks for the recommendation: drTung’s Smart Floss and Concentrace Mineral Mouth Rinse. They're a making a huge difference in my cleaning routine.
Great advice there! I didn't know I wasn't supposed to brush my teeth after eating something acidic. Thanks ❤! Also, please bring back The Sexy Tablespoon, I loved that series so much 😍!
I love all your videos. Always interesting and useful. At times funny and emotional. Thank you so much!
Fluorite is not entirely evil, maybe in the US they add it to water, but in the European Union they don't. In my country it was being added for some time and during that time (1950-1990) a dramatical change in dental health has been observed.
No coconut oil pulling? I feel like it helps so much with bad breath and whitening...
If hard bristled toothbrushes can wear off enamel, how come the metal scrapey things dentists use are ok....?
Thank you for the tip on the oil pulling. I didn't know that is was not good for the enamel
what are your thoughts on getting wisdom teeth removed? Is it necessary? what was your experience? thoughts?
Did you get fillings for all of the cavities the dentist found between your teeth? If not has this regiment reversed the damage?
Same thing i was wondering
Thank you for this Lily... really excellent advice.
Excellent data! Thanks so much!
You are such a Gem! Thank you! Can you please let me know if all types of oil pulling erode enamel? I have lost much of enamel due to eating acidic foods as a kid, like pickles and lemons. I have been oil pulling with coconut oil cause i read it whitens teeth and strengthens. I have not read anything about it damaging teeth. Can you please share? Thanks much for your time and assistance. Appreciate!
i am on the brink of having to get a root canal...I am thinking of the extraction route if the dentist next time says bacteria have reached the root. On the path of health after disordered eating (never was diagnosed) and very aware of my teeth "dissolving". They seem smaller and smaller. I don't want to cut out any foods anymore, and want to remineralize through vegan lifestyle.
I am taking the Concentrace drops more and more and taking vitamin D/K, algae omega.
THANK YOU for making this video,
I just hope my actions can rebuild my teeth.
You have had the same problems I’m struggling with now. Can you give an update? Were you able to rebuild enamel and save your teeth?
Thanks Lily!
I'm not vegan or anything. However your video was really great and helpful. I just got a sonic care 9300 today. Best thing ever.
looking good love, many thanks for sharing the great info
Oil pulling is bad? How is that even possible?
what about swishing with Himalayan salt water?
If the sonicare is out of your price range, the oral b vitality is a great budget friendly option at $25! Once you start you'll never be able to go back to a manual toothbrush! Also I do notice if I buy the walmart version of brush heads they don't last as long as the oral b ones unfortunately. Either way this tb is a gamechanga! 😁
lmao "did you get up and floss during this video? Omg, yes, are you psychic?// No, I don't need teeth"
Hi Lily, thanks for the video! Recently been interested in researching the best ways to take care of my teeth and it's great to hear your advice. Although you have given lots of great tips, I would love to know where you find your information so I can make an informed decision too - any specific scientific journals/articles I can read? Thanks again! xx
Has anyone heard if any companies or dental association has created for the public a way to regrow tooth enamel since the studies were done last year showing they were able to regrow tooth enamel? Hopefully, this will be provided to the public soon?
I have translucent teeth. Pls help... I drank a lot of soft drinks and my hygiene was sub par for like a year or two cause I got into lazy and habits and I got cavities (not surprising). Luckily the cavities were not severe and were pretty mild. So now I’m trying to stop consuming acidic foods and drinks, rinsing with water after consuming acidic foods, using enamel strengthening toothpaste, mouthwash, and floss. Do you think this’ll help?
Hi, I've been using your toothpaste recipe for years but can't find it anymore. Can you send it to me?
Hey! Thanks for this! I am recovering from Bulimia and my teeth are super eroded and damaged from the purging. They are sensitive and dentists just recommend me to brush them with Sensodine (which just numbs out my mouth basically to relief the pain - short term solution). Any tips to strengthen my teeth up again? I'm making my own toothpaste with coconut oil and baking powder at the moment.
@Cecilia Michael hi Cecilia, I've had an eating disorder for over 13 years, going through all stages in a cycle. Restrict, anorexia, binge eating disorder, but bulimia was always there,,... I've gone "all in" since 2 months now and haven't purged since. I really want to break this cycle so badly that relapse is not in my dictionary.
I was fed up with it and made a click. I knew this is not how i want to live my life. I've gone all-in following this channel, Tabitha Farrars and Alice Olivia's channel!
A lot of vegans are anti-flouride but I'm still searching for evidence to support that it's harmful when used as directed? Any help appreciated!
great! thank you so much! love what you do! x
hey! new intro! i love it!
I've been researching teeth care a lot lately and have just found that swishing a mixture of ground comfrey root with water can be helpful. Have you heard of this method or tried it before? I've known that comfrey is great for bone and tissue repair and so it seeeems to make sense that swishing it around in your mouth a few times a week would help...anyone's thoughts on this are appreciated thanks!
Is it ok to eat right after brushing teeth? And since brushing right after drinking/eating something acidic is bad for the teeth, can I do a mouthwash (baking soda/water/sea salt) right after? How are your small cavities in between your teeth after caring for your teeth? Thank you so much for your video. I always enjoy them!
Why did you erase your DIY toothpaste video? Is there anyplace I can find the recipies?
Lily can you please do a video on healthy gums?
I loved your facial expressions when you do swishing water :D
saliva has little to do with drinking water as a lot of water out there is acidic and in plastic bottles which are full of toxic particles . Saliva is related to the kidney health , slightly alkaline water with plenty of alkalizing minerals like magnesium or boron which are very important for the mineralization of the teeth . Many thanks , cheers
I need help. I just went to the dentist and I have a lot of cavities. My dentist asked if I'm eating fish (idk why) and I told him I am vegan. Then the lecture came on. "Vegans and vegetarians tend to be the most unhealthy people I know" blah blah I sat there like ---- He told my family the reason for this is because I am deficient in calcium. But I think the real reason is bc A. I haven't been to the dentist in many years B. I've only recently gotten serious abt flossing. Everyone is now shaming me and blaming it on the way I eat. They're telling me to eat cottage cheese everyday. Ughh this sucks
Ugh same..:( It's always a blame on the diet. Realistically, I feel the blame is on the dentist industry for feeding us this kind of mis information.. Like honestly calcium isn't even what we should be consuming from supplements for teeth.. it's d3 with k2 (this helps calcium uptake to our bones. In most cases it's not that we need more calcium, it's more so that we need help up-taking it). I personally have had weak teeth. My vegan diet isn't great because I'm eating a lot of bread recently rather than whole plant based foods, so no, its not the vegan lifestyle's fault, it's my lifestyle's fault haha. I'm going to try taking a d3 and k2 supplement, since I'm not getting it in my diet lol, along with a flouride free toothpaste. I'm looking for a more natural mouth wash right now because the ones my dentist recommended actually have acidic ingredients and tons of chemicals.. great. Anyways.. I feel for you and just know that from my experience.. dentists will shame, but in reality your teeth are "living" bones with a complicated uptake/calcification process that goes on 24/7, so it can be helped despite what we are constantly told. I would research holistic dentistry, like vitamin effects, because that's where I started when I began searching for other options.
Please do a video on ur water system and minerals 🙏🏻
You make great sense!
refind wheat, sugar and soft drinks ruin your teeth even when kept clean
What did u do about all ur cavities? Did they heal or did u get them all filled?
Not sure about the oil pulling causing more harm than good. It was one study using safflower oil, what about other oils? Could be a different outcome
Hey Lily! have watched and appreciated you for years! came back to this video, and the link for your home made toothpaste is no longer active. it's a cliffhanger! just wondering what was in it? thanks!
Aah, talking about dental health.. I have amazing teeth and good dental health.. never have cavities or whatever... BUT I had a milk tooth removed on Friday. I’ve been having strange health problems the entire year.. that thing was chronically infected, but I didn’t even notice, I basically “lived with it” (baby teeth don’t feel because the nerves die). Oh mah gaaah I feel so much better already!!! The roots of that thing were slowly dissolving apparently. So basically without knowing, bad bacteria were entering my bloodstream for I dunno how long. Maybe a nice video idea lol, how bad bacteria in your mouth influence your health.. you can get sick af! So yeah.. although I’m pretty pissed off because the douchebag of an orthodontist decided to leave that thing in my mouth when I got braces 20 years ago, knowing that it would eventually give me problems, I’m happy it’s gone! Now I have a hole.. and he can go to hell! 🤬 Anyway... ❤️ ya!
I love your videos!!!!!!!!
So informative as always! I especially thought the part about using your own saliva as mouthwash fascinating. I'm wondering, do you spit it out afterward (like you would with other kinds of mouthwash) or swallow it, because it's just your own saliva? Thank you for making these videos - I always learn so much and enjoy your humor as well
Excellent question! I've heard that either way is fine, though some people say it has "bacteria" in it and so should be spit out... It does, for some reason, feel a little "weird" to swallow a bunch of my own saliva, but I've done it for convenience sake!
@@lilykoihawaii Hi Lili ! Thanks for the "saliva tip" lol. I wanted to know, from your experience, do you know if teeth can remineralize in a visible way ? I was curious to know if the enamel could, through remineralization, become more opaque ? Guess the only way to go is eating more greens and keep hydrated alcaline mouth anyway lol, but I was curious about the returns. Have you noticed any difference on your own teeth ?
Great tips thank you :)
Were your teeth always so white? Or did they get whiter with time?
Wow this was scary and enlightening at the same time... 🎃
Not sure if you'll still check these comments but big question regarding beans nuts seeds etc.. shouldmt we be avoiding those due to the phytic acid content and how it affects absorbibility etc etc?
Awesome advice, I been oil pulling because it helps my gum, any other type for gum ?
Great video. Can I just say that I floss constantly. However, my gums are pulling away from my teeth (I am over 50). The dentist suggest I also use a water pick because even flossing isn't enough. Odds are working against me because I have diabetes (I fell off the wagin and started eating crappy so my blood sugar shot back up and grind at night).
Also, I did oil pulling and my dang cap came out. So I won't do that anymore.
Toothsoap and the burst electric toothbrush. I have no more inflammation in my gums and one gum is coming back on the tooth from where it pulled away.
Thanks for the video.
Hi Lily, you are not uploading much I liked your content, back to your helpfull oral heath videos, I was told by dentist to do cleaning but i worry it can scrap of enamel my teeth are sensitive now ( fot
Former raw vegan not brushed much that time as well) also do you get polish done too? I think they use fluoride paste to do that. What do you exactly get at clenoning? Is ot scalinv wirh electric airflow ? Be great if you can respond .. ive read rhis; some dental hygienist may cause damage even if they were trained to avoid it. Scaling sounds horrible and worry it can casue gum to receed. I see stains on mines ..
The oil pulling study you cite is safflower oil, do you have a video on this?
Thank you!
Are you supposed to swallow or spit out your saliva after swishing it in your mounth?
so what did you do about the cavities? i had the same experience at the dentist 2 weeks ago (i brush and floss regularly so i feel extra helpless) and feel depressed ever since. i hate the idea of my teeth being drilled open now for fillings but the dentist said its clear on the xray that there is decay... the money is another shitty factor for sure. did you get fillings and what material?
UA-cam Sucks Try pulling with wheat grass juice powder and water first. 2x daily.
THE TOOTHPASTE VIDEO DOESN'T COME OUT IT SAY'S IT'S PRIVATE :( :( CAN I ASK YOU WHAT IS THE RECIPE, PLEASE SHARE IT FOR US.
I am 23 and i lost/missing my 4 teeth. Shame on me
Thank you
You’re the best💕😁🥰
So no more oil pulling w/ coconut oil?!
because I have braces I havent flossed my teeth in almost or over 2 years, now think about that for a second... haha but I definitely WILL get on the daily flossing bandwagon asap!
supkika I hope you’re using a rinse. My kids never had cavities until they got braces.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE CLEANING YOUR TEETH VERY WELL! PLEASE START FLOSSING! I had braces for 3 years and i rarely flossed. Braces came off and sure enough I had like 3 cavities and one of them almost required a root canal. I thought I was doing a good job brushing but apparently it was not good enough!
When I had braces I used interdental brushes for flossing - Hope that helps ^-^
They have those little flossing sticks, right? Could those work? I'd also imagine a waterpik would be a great investment! And a non-alcoholic mouthwash and/or prolonged saliva swishing would probably help... I'm surprised your dentist/orthodontist hasn't given you tips!
Lily, do you still the Tuxedo charcoal thing?.. I saw a review on Amazon sayin that the stuff gets under your gums and teeth. What do u think about that?
How do you get so white teeth? What do you think about teeth whitening?
This is just my personal theory but I think those white strips burn away the enamel. I used to use them a lot on my top front teeth and now years later I have almost no enamel left on those teeth, while the rest my teeth are ok.
Lily, do you have any opinions on the oral ingestion of diatomaceous earth? I know this doesn't have anything to do with dental health, but I recently was recommended it for cleansing and wanted to see your thoughts! xo
I've heard it is an effective anti-parasitic, though there is 0 scientific literature to back up that claim. Some people swear by it and I won't contradict them. It is tiny and "abrasive" so I've wondered if it could possibly be irritating to the gut lining, but again, I've seen 0 legitimate data pointing either direction. I added it to my water for a few months as an experiment and noticed no positive or negative difference. Hope that is a bit helpful!
Are you not worried about the collodial silver that is an ingrident in the concentrace mineral mouthwash?
Not worried, no. Though I do use the saliva rinsing more often than the mineral mouthwash.
What is your opinion on tongue scrapers?
Swishing with own saliva? When the teeth are covered with saliva all day long, I find it really hard to believe that swishing saliva for a few minutes will make a difference. Do you have any kind of evidence or argument for this point?
I am more inclined to think that the content\quality of saliva, which is influenced by diet, will make a difference, but I think swishing it is useless.
could you make a video about contraception ?
Donezo... it's an oldie but a goodie. ua-cam.com/video/5z2_B05xQwA/v-deo.html
lilykoi hawaii I just watched it. Thanks!
