I was born in 1961. my mother was educated and did not allow sugar in her home. Today i am 60 years old and have never had a cavity in my life. I give my mother the credit for that!
I’m 53 and my parents didn’t allow sugar either. I have no cavities. I rebelled and raised my children with sugar, they all had cavities but age 10. Yes, I regret my choices with much guilt.
Same here - 70's kid - no cavities. We would have one litre bottle of pop between the five of us as a treat at the weekend. Chocolate and a packet of crisps was a treat but no candies. I felt I was missing out at the time but not I am so grateful.
It is faulty thinking that leads many to believe that including dentistry in health care would be too expensive. Only when we reconnect teeth to body will we begin to save health care dollars... and lives.
@@mariellepariseau2 a dental hygienist educated me on my teeth at my cleaning a few weeks ago. She informed me of how my front bottom teeth were with plaque buildup which was a sign of high cholesterol which could lead to heart attack. I thought one of my teeth had chipped on the bottom row but it was actually plaque buildup. I think this lady helped save my life, I have been feeling so much better with my health and energy after that cleaning and also have been using better dental hygiene techniques. I had changed my eating habits way before my cleaning but was still not feeling the best but I’m feeling a lot better. I made a physician appointment to follow up on my cholesterol and to see where my numbers are.
@@aren8484 congratulations!!! Your health begins with your mouth: the food you put in it and how well you take care of it. Change never happens overnight. I am glad that you have witnessed your personal changes towards better health while connecting your teeth to whole health. Thank you for sharing your story!
Drilling, filling, replacement feels like the end goal when I go see a dentist. Refreshing to see a dentist that try’s to save a tooth and preach prevention knowing it’s not as profitable!
They are incredibly rare. A dentist in my area just got sentenced to 4 years in prison for purposefully breaking peoples teeth so he could cap them and make even more money. As an aside a woman I used to work with is married to a dentist and they both retired at age 50!!! They are LOADED! May I add they both drink ALOT.
Once i went to the dentist who told me id been brushing too hard and had eaten away at my teeth with the toothbrush Next time I went she told me that had remineralised repairing themselves. If we find a way to stop plaque then they all should be able to do that instead of decay
@@nielskorpel8860 the entire medical mafia cares about profit over people, as we've learned since 2020 when doctors who focused on early treatment of a man made killer were canceled and ostracized. Remember the dangerous dozen? I do and thanks to Dr. M erc ola's nebulized hydro gen per oxide protocols, my family has been successful at fighting man made killers.
My family moved to Ireland from China three years ago. We are touched by the warm-hearted, friendly people in Ireland, and we are also astonished by how much candy, chocolates, cakes they give to kids as treats in playgroup and school. It's the culture, the conceptions of sugar that need to be changed. Diet have 'memories'. You tend to crave the same stuff you eat offen when you are little. Less sugar, Please.
Moved to Ireland from Germany. Had the same experience and I am still puzzled that the kids are only having sugary drinks. Been called a bad mom twice for not giving my toddler chocolate.
Strange as both primary and play schools have banned items you cannot send as packed lunch with your child in Ireland - such as any sugar drinks, all sweets including chocolate, crisps etc. These items can be confiscated but more likely the parents are given a warning to comply with the guidelines. Parents are given alternative list of items that they can bring - Water, milks, fruit juices, fruits, whole meal carbs etc. Ireland does have a problem with increasing levels of obesity and I do think there should be a tax implemented on sugar like cigarettes to discourage over indulgence. But schools are not that lax to allow junk food as lunch nor indeed do they even encourage it.
Total abstinence is not healthy either. There’s a balance to everything. If you want to practice abstinence then do so by all means. But let’s not exaggerate that schools allow a lunch sugar fest.
I loved the philosopher's quote about the best medicine is to avoid needing medicine. Many people don't see dentists because it's not affordable so the best route is to take personal responsibility for what you put into your body.
@@carpediemarts705 it's not about avoiding sugar, it's about eating it in moderation. In the US, our health declined when government got involved in our diet.
"Let food be your medicine, or medicine will be your food." Can't remember quite who said it, but it's absolutely true. Diet and proper nutrition with real and moderately processed food, not ultraprocessed, do absolute *wonders* for all aspects of health from oral health to metabolic function and preventing obesity. Dr Robert Lustig also has many good talking points and has done much of his own research and written books about the topics Marielle talks about here. He is one of the leading physicians trying to educate people about the dangers of sugar in particular.
My father, a dental surgeon, used to say this more than 60 years ago. He felt like he was preaching in the desert! Nevertheless, he kept on sharing this info with as many people as possible. I truly hope that Marielle Pariseau continues her crusade and that one decision-maker in a powerful position will help her bring about the needed revolution. Congrats and ongoing courage to Marielle Pariseau. By the way, her first name plus her family name are totally, unmistakenly of French origin. Two beautiful names! A great person behind them.
Well done! This should be seen by every dental student in their first year. Marielle, thank you for this presentation. Your passion and commitment to our profession is exciting and exhilaration !!
Wow, what a hero for her honest and brilliant work. She is not doing it to be popular or 'win points' in her profession or to virtue signal. Respect and Gratitude to Dr Pariseau.
I have not watched a TED Talk in ages. This video popped up in my recommendations. This reminds me why I'm subscribed to the Ted Talk channel in first place. This lady is super likeable and very easy to listen to. This presentation was also flawless.
They have such great content. I was taking a pre-req when one of my teachers had us watch a Ted Talk video for a Discussion Board. That was when I was introduced to my first Ted Talk. I'm so glad for these topics. Very informative 👍
She’s correct. I have $50,00.00ISD worth of dental work in my mouth because of a sugar addiction. I used to drink Mountain Dew instead of water. I destroyed a kidney, ruptured my intestines and had severe sepsis that caused seizures. Get off the sugar.
I take care of my teeth more religiously than most people I know, but due to negligence during my childhood, have so many issues. I still have huge complexes because of it, even after wearing braces and investing lots of money in my teeth
As a teacher and health coach I am so saddened by the idea that every holiday( which seem to happen every couple of weeks) is celebrated with sugary treats. It’s so hard to step away from it, the culture is stuck on rewarding with candy, sugar and what I refer to as processed’non-food’. Thank you for this
I made it to my early 40’s eating a diet that consisted of little to no sugar and only had one cavity in my life , got married and my wife cooks with a lot of sugar and started bringing home candy as a treat for me , I haven’t gained any weight, so I wasn’t thinking my consumption was excessive, but my teeth began to fall apart and ended up losing 5 teeth within 6 years. I suspected sugar was a contributing factor, but I have chalked it up to age , now I’m gonna eliminate sugar from my diet completely. Thank you
I was heartbroken over losing 1 tooth, which happened due to a large filling I go years ago. Ironically it was removed after I fixed my diet and my teeth health was greatly improved. Did your teeth hurt? Why did you have them removed? Sugar is bad but you have to make sure you are eating enough protein and getting enough vitamins A, D and K2 and Magnesium. I hope that helps you from losing any more teeth.
@@colinthomson5358 a few teeth began to break apart right as the lockdown started and by the time I was able to get back in to the dentist , a few were too far gone to save , surprisingly , only 2 were painful , the rest weren’t , but that may have been helped by the Sensodyne. I’m very consistent with my vitamins, although I may have been lacking in K2 and my protein levels may have dropped a bit during the lockdown due to being sedentary
Years ago a dentist I went to had this sign in his waiting room. It was a quote from one of the doctors Mayo who started Mayo Clinic. It read: “Good dental hygiene can extend human life 10 years.” Makes sense. If you cannot properly chew your food, whole fruits, veggies, etc. how good can your health be?
Dr. Mayo’s legitimate concerns over the role of dentistry and disease prevention were ignored by his colleagues, choosing profitable, endless procedures instead of simple, common sense measures like pulling teeth.
@@natureloversadventures7335 Oh my gosh! From what I understand, root canals are THE WORST!!! My Dad had a root canal in 1979 and broke capillaries in his face from just making it through the pain and the procedure itself, never had another one done. I've always shuddered at the idea of one. Thankfully that has never came up.
I spent much of my life addicted to sugar and have finally been able to break that addiction. Unfortunately I’ve had many problems with my teeth and I’m now facing extraction of one of my front teeth after a failed apicoectomy. I really wish I could’ve understood the gravity of my actions in the past. I am 58 now and I’m relatively well but I worry how much damage I’ve done to my body because of my past sugar intake. I really enjoyed this talk and I love how this beautiful woman is sharing her experience in order to help others!
Thanks for sharing that ... you reminded me of that saying : "the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago . . . the 2nd best time is NOW " B-) Good on you for your efforts at "righting your path" forward . . . Ultimately we all end up in the same place (and without our teeth) ... so here's to enjoying the ride in any case !
Dental implants are a far better experience than you expect. Expensive though. Without that hole being closed up, your teeth will shift, making eating more difficult.
@@dcwander7092 I’m definitely getting the implant, just not looking forward to it. It’s going to be in a front tooth so if I don’t get the implant I’ll have a front tooth missing which is not the look I’m going for😂
@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane of course. I started seeing a nutritionist that required me to take a picture of everything I ate and upload it into a program. I started realizing how much sugar was in everything! I started enjoying fruit instead. The longer I went without eating sugary foods the less I craved them! I started losing weight and that helped me to continue because I felt so much better about myself😀
Good chat by a caring doctor- a rare breed. She is right. Sugar kills and it's infuriating that it is allowed to be sold to us. They are literally killing us and getting rich from it.
Though I always say we are not children no one is forcing us to go to Burger King or buy snickers bars. People want to blame politicians and the industry when instead they should be taking control of their own lives.
@@julittok You are wrong. If you are serious you are one of the most naïve people I have ever met. When we are given 1,000 choices e.g., in a supermarket and 950 are bad, we have an insidious problem. The 1.5 TRILLION dollar processed food industry needs you to consume their poison. Because they lobby and enrich those who support them, they are allowed to peddle their poison. The "health"care industry, and that lobby then benefits tremendously when people get sick. They are there to treat with drugs and around and around they go. Laughing all their way to the bank. McDonalds gets their food subsidized (cheaper for them to sell it) for a reason. When a manager asked, "would you also subsidize the salads?" he was told a definitive "NO." WAKE UP. It's a game of heads I win, tails you lose. The people in the US are losing and your attitude does not help. Be outspoken against this crime against humanity. That is not a dramatic statement- that is reality. On a side note, I have travelled to other, far healthier countries. They simply do not have commercials running 24/7 selling sickness and pills and a machine that fully supports it. As a result, they haven't heard of 1/100th of the "diseases" we magically have in the US. Their people eat well, exercise, rest and their levels of dis-ease are far less than in the US. This metric is very carefully measured and well know. In the US they try to make things seem normal when they are not, like commercials that casually say, "Hey- talk to your gastroenterologist?" Sure, like I have one on speed-dial (sadly many do and that number is increasing.) That is their dream end-state. EVERY person in the US hooked on polypharmacy. Every person in the US to become a dependent substance ADDICT. Guess what? For the most part, that is already the current day reality.
@@julittok Yes, those are obvious things. However, sugar is a major ingredient in many products you wouldn't think would contain sugar. Such as peanut butter. Sugar is just randomly added to almost all processed foods. People need to be reeducated--we need to cook our own foods, from scratch, and stop supporting the corporations.
@@robincrowflies amen! I find organic condiments not so disgustingly sweet. Processed frozen food lacks all important fiber and don’t get me started on microwaved meals.
Amazing. I don’t see the mainstream ever acknowledging the truth of this. It’s up to the individual to be inspired by her challenge at the end of the video! Change your life and in turn influence others to do the same. I became recently aware of the tooth decay that my 8 year old has and should not. I am convinced to change.
Thank you doctor. I have my own practice in India and most of my time is spent counselling my patients how our lifestyle directly affects our overall health, not just teeth. Some take and thank me for the advice, while some just ignore. Regardless, it's our job to advise them. Many of these patients end up getting diabetes and hypertension along with cardiovascular disease. It hurts more to see children affected with all carious teeth. Counselling their parents are more challenging. Some refuse to believe.
It's easy to deny, because the planet is now set up to eat sugar. Processed, packaged food is the mainstream. It's hard to do well. And, people just don't care.
God bless you for caring about your patients and their overall health. I prefer to be a patient to doctors who didn't attend medical school in the US because they're not taught to read the body but instead to overdose us with meds. Doctors trained in India and South America are trained to read the body and recommend healthy eating habits - huge difference!
@@juana7035 many doctors train to make money; not care about patients. Many go into medical school to better their income so live a great life. Parents encourage wards to study medicine to can make a lot of money so what do you expect?
Speaking of the whole "No sugar for kids under two" thing... I don't know why since I don't have kids, but kicks and giggles when I was at the grocery store, I read the list of ingredients for baby formula and to my horror a couple of them had sugar listed as the FIRST ingredient. Googling it now, Enfamil is one of them.
Wait. WHAT?! I stopped nursing my daughter at 6 months because of complications and put her on formula. Never fed her candy or processed foods until she started daycare at 2 and they gave her candy. She’s 100% addicted now at 12 and we’re learning healthy choices vs giving in to cravings. I had no idea as a young mom that her formula had SUGAR! That is so sad.
It’s very peculiar that health insurance doesn’t cover dental, it’s separate and covers very little with a very low yearly cap, yet teeth are a very important part of our anatomy and health.
Because they know that sick people is where the money is at. if you take care of your teeth you might be a lot healthier overall and that would mean fewer people needing the healthcare system, which is a billion dollar industry. Yep keeping people sick is a business. Just an opinion from a 17 year dental professional.
It's great to hear this from an actual dentist. As a child I would only have soda at parties and candy on Saturdays. We had oats for breakfast. Sugary cereal was not allowed. Now I am 34. I don't like soda. I don't like candy except chocolate and marzipan. I rarely eat processed foods. I never eat fast food and I have never had a hole in my teeth. I live in Denmark. We don't put fluorite in our water supply and I have used fluorite free toothpaste for the last 10 years.
Awesome you haven't had any cavities. So do you see a dentist every 6-12 months? I'm curious what a typical dental visit costs in Denmark? I think that any treatments (which you fortunately don't need), are subsidized? In the USA, dental treatments are potentially outrageously expensive. It's $300 to start for a visit. Add x-rays you're up to $500. Cleaning brings it up to $700 (this needs to be done annually). If someone needs a cavity worked on, that will probably be $300 - 800 per tooth. Root canal $800. RC's require a crown which adds $1,200+ to that two step procedure. After that, these treatments like fillings, crowns, veneers, on and on, require maintenance. They can wear down, or fall apart. Dentists then charge the full ticket price again to repair an issue. There isn't any universal medical access like those in Denmark have. With dental maintenance, like health care, people in the USA are on their own. It's why some people in the USA have discovered medical and dental tourism. They go abroad to get care. It's crazy to think that adding a flight + trip costs + treatment is more reasonable than paying for that same treatment locally.
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 I had several years where I didn't go to the dentist, because I had no money, but now I go every 6 months. It costs me 5-700 danish kroner per visit. Obviously it would be more expensive if I had cavities. Dental is not included in national health care here. There is a small income group (people on the lowest welfare) that can apply to have 65% coverage for expensive procedures. Lots of people in Denmark also go to Poland and such places to have dental procedures, because they can't afford them here.
@@umaimasiddiqui7376 I don't know a lot about gluten, but what when I say sugary cereal, I mean stuff that has added sugar. Natural sugar content is not the same as a bowl of Frosties. Just like eating a pear is not the same as eating a gummy bear that resembles a pear - one contains nutrients. The other doesn't. :)
I wish all dentist think like u and truly are concern about people's teeth. Not most dentist tells u what u shld do. Thank u for speaking out. This truly awakens most. God bless u.
Thank you for your comment. I believe that most dentists really care but that many dentists become disheartened due to the never ending nature of the work they do day in and day out. This is one of the many reasons that drove me to speak out.
I’m a Personal Trainer and Health Coach who focuses on holistic health. This is exactly the truth and this is what we need in docs! Our world is getting lied to, but there is too much information out there now, so I believe that the days of the industries that are against our health are coming up against serious consequences because people are waking up! People are seeing the truth and I praise God for it!
I am 76 and for the last year I have watched many UA-cam Health videos. I can't begin to tell how much I have changed my eating habits and wish I had done so when I was young, even though I heped my children to eat heathily because they were in sports. My daughter fared well but my son was expected to gain weight for college football.That was the beginning of a weight problem for him. What damage mant sports due is truly a shame!
I am going to tell all of my patients about THIS!!! I have shared this with my hygiene friends, and on my social media pages, and I will continue to share this message!!

"Do you ever talk about your teeth with your physician? Perhaps you should! And here's the most important reason why: your teeth are the best, the most accessible, the most obvious early warning system for predicting future breakdowns elsewhere in the body decades before they occur" (8:18 - 8:42) "Our teeth are meant to be sentinels of the body" (10:48) "The statistics on sugar are truly alarming. 200 years ago, the average American consumed 10 teaspoons of sugar every 5 days. Today, we unknowingly consume the same amount every 7 hours." (10:57 - 11:14)
Dental care was introduced in my generation as l was an avid reader on health issues. At 70, l still go for scaling & cleanup once in 6 months. I have my full set until today.
@@LillyBunnyBoo actually that’s quite the accomplishment. To be 70 and still have all your teeth. That’s amazing. I’ve been in dentistry for 8 years. I’ve had some of the richest people in the DC metro area in my chair as patients. And I’ve also seen the poorest of the poor. As in homeless off the streets and living in the woods. It’s rare that I see a patient no matter their income or background over the age of 40 with all their teeth. I’ve had patients in their 20’s with almost no teeth in their mouths.
I cut out all carbs from my diet. Lost 35lbs in 54 days along with diet and exercise. Sugar and carbs are terrible. Protein and good fats are the way to go!
Great video, thank you very much! I'm almost 50 years old and other day my new dentist complimented my teeth and asked: "How many times a day you do brush them?" To which I answered: "Just once but I do it very thoroughly, including dental floss every time." Then he repeated what I always say: "Better to do it once very well than many times not so good."
A once per day thorough brushing and flossing may be enough if your sugar consumption is not excessive. Did your dentist ask you about your sugar consumption? Focusing on oral hygiene alone is a mistake many make. Some world class athletes who have better than average oral hygiene have more cavities than average when they consume a lot of energy drinks, gels, and bars (all high in sugar content).
@@mariellepariseau2 Thanks for liking my comment, Marielle! In fact, he asked me about my diet and sugar consumption. I live in Brazil where the sugar intake is huge among our people and I'm aware of how this is so bad. I do try to avoid excesses but even lowering my sugar consumption, it's still so hard to break this addiction... Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
An innovative, challenging wake-up call from a very bright committed woman. While nothing is in and of itself unique in this talk, it is indeed wonderfully brought together to give all of us food (sugar-free) for thought. Kudos to Dr. Marielle Pariseau for challenging us to do better.
@@anthonyogrady1081 The best kind of sweeteners, but still not to be taken in excessive amounts. Proverbs 25:16 - "Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it."
I would fight for my country that treated dentistry procedures as an absolute right with nothing being considered "cosmetic" and not eligible for insurance. That one decision by insurance corporations has killed so many spirits of formerly healthy people priced out of their health and confidence. Its not right to make a smile a billable luxury, we're better than that.
I have always said that good dental health is a privileged luxury that only people who have money could afford. My teeth are getting into worse shape over time and state healthcare is a joke, so I'm screwed. Can't even find a job that actually offers health and dental insurance.
That's why I've never understood the separation between health insurance and dental insurance, when dental health effects overall health? The VA, once one retires with a disability is only offered health treatment and not dental insurance (unless 100% disabled). This doesn't make sense, because poor oral health causes problems detrimental to overall health, so why is that? Health is health, right? Plus, it takes stronger teeth to eat fresh and healthy foods, than processed foods, so I sense a bit of hypocrisy. Not in this lady speaking, because she's amazing, but rather the insurance companies of the health insurance industry and dental insurance industry.
As a practicing dentist of over 40 years, I often found a correlation between the condition of a patient's teeth and gums, and their overall health. Show me a mouth full of cavities and periodontal disease, and I will show you a patient with a myriad of systemic medical problems. Often such patients even look unhealthy.
In 1986 I was exchange student in the US. Even as a teenager, I was shocked to see how much sugar was given to children. Cola was readily available and given to toddles. (At home in The Netherlands, my two brothers and I shared a litre of cola over the weekend. Each one 150 ml glass on Friday, one on Saturday). Our mother gave us fluoride pills when we grew up. At 42, I had my very first cavity. Ten years later, it is still the only one I have. My brothers have few cavities as well.
A much-needed talk. I take the points made, that healthy teeth are primarily about diet and that Western society has to move away from the highly processed, sugary food which has become endemic. However, genetic differences in teeth need to be recognised. My teeth are 'soft' and particularly susceptible to decay. Early example: I had a root canal at age three due to apple juice and popular processed foods of the time, which in America in the early 80s were rampant and well accepted. My father is a doctor and my mother a nurse, so both were well aware of healthy foods and generally we ate quite well, eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, and were rarely allowed 'junk food'. However, it was difficult to avoid the mainstream offerings. For instance, Honey Nut Cheerios was my favourite breakfast cereal for over a decade - now I'd class it as junk food, at the time it was an acceptable cereal. Throughout my childhood, following that early root canal, I had a cavity at most dental visits. My brother, on the other hand, who ate a similar diet, and in fact, far more sweets and sugary breakfast cereals, has never had a cavity (he just turned 40). My dad has a mouth full of fillings from when he was younger, and his teeth are now breaking down due to all the fillings; my mum has no fillings, she has never had a single cavity. My parents eat a very similar diet so might be expected to have similar dental health. Genetically, I have my father's teeth, which are 'softer' and more prone to decay; my brother has my mother's, which are 'harder' and not at all prone to decay. I thus have to work hard to keep my teeth healthy: eat a wholesome diet with minimal refined sugar, brush assiduously with an electric toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, etc. When I was pregnant with my first child, I developed gum disease. By paying more attention to my teeth (carefully brushing, flossing and using a special mouthwash) when I was pregnant with my second, I managed to avoid it, maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout. Given my history, my children only drink water and milk, and our family primarily eats wholesome meals made from scratch (we live in the UK), although my kids do have a penchant for sweets. So while I take the point in this talk, a genetic element has to be acknowledged - some people's teeth are just much more predisposed to decay, while others seem to eat vast amounts of sugary foods and never suffer from tooth decay - this latter group need to be studied! What is it in their genetic make-up that protects their teeth so well? Interesting side note, aside from a healthy diet, taking up tea drinking over the last 20 years living in England has also helped to protect my teeth, according to a British dentist.
@Elimat I had one dentist ask me if I was into drugs because of the state of my teeth, I was never so insulted in my life, my teeth were always good, and were taking care of until I was out of dental insurance and then could not afford dental. I tried everything I could now I gave up, and I'm suffering quite a bit with my top guns as they are all mostly gone and broken, being on disability the money I make goes towards for a place over my head, so can't save anything, I went to a dental school last year they extract one and I almost fell over when the lady told me I owed them almost 6500.00 dollars. Please don't give up if you can afford care as they will get worse until they're gone.
Hello, look for a carnivore diet, it's something incredible, imagine that your bones are around 50% mineralized protein, meat is something incredible, I hope you search for this information, I believe that regardless of your genetics, your body knows it very well what to do with a highly nutritious food, I have helped in something, gratitude for the attention
@Elimat There is definitely a genetic element! So frustrating you've not been able to find a way to keep your teeth healthy! Do persevere, as it's so important to overall health and you want to avoid losing your teeth later in life. Regarding 'grinding' - I think that's the word you want. I also grind my teeth at night, but think many people do - my whole family does, regardless of whether they have 'soft' or 'hard' teeth. It's pretty common. The dentist is always trying to get me to buy a very expensive mouth guard, but as yet, have held off. Thanks for sharing your story - good luck with finding a solution to keeping your teeth and gums healthy!
@@Emily-yz1fg do a parasite cleanse, gut cleanse. They are known to induce grinding as a symptom. Be sure to use binders, and enemas to help support you body on the exit path. The body has to remove daily, all that the cleanse kills. Cleanses are typically an herbal combination, or combo with easier to digest foods for 7-10 days.
Hi.. I'm a dentist myself.. I'm really glad I heard you.. I'll definitely counsel aap my patients about the hidden sugars in the goods available nowadays.
Spot on. It really is high time UPF manufacturers were held to account for the damage their products do to our bodies; just as the tobacco industry was held to account.
Thank you so much for this wise and necessary talk. Thankfully I had allready come to this conclusion through all kinds of things that happened in my life. But your knowledge and wisdom is really needed in today's society. I hope as many people as possible will connect with this. Thanks again and good luck with your revolution !!
Dr Marielle appears extremely well. So to hear the expertise I am initially pleased. Is it to late? 11 left of how many teeth? Glad I could know that while here below Calvary's Mount is of inestemable amount!
I have heard that fluoride negatively affects the thyroid. It is said that too much fluoride is another cause for white spots on teeth. Also, that plaque build up is attributed to an excess of calcium (sometimes, other minerals).The body leaches it out via the salivary glands to try to rid the excess and it collects on the teeth.
Your first 2 statements bear some truth. As for the third statement, calcium in your saliva is good and helps keep your teeth strong. However, plaque on teeth is a soft sticky film that contains bacteria. If your diet is high in sugars, this film will build up rapidly. If it is not removed with proper brushing and flossing, then the minerals in your saliva (including calcium) will harden the plaque into tartar, which can lead to gum disease and tooth loss. In summary, good nutrition and good hygiene are important for your health.
Fluoride is also a neurotoxin. Perhaps its addition to the public water supply, in addition to the killing off of our gut bacteria (essential to healthy brain and mental development) by antibiotics, anti-bacterial products and lower quality natural food, has contributed to the massive rise in Alzheimer's, dementia and autism??
I have a life threatening abscess. It’s landed me emergency room where they pumped intravenous antibiotics into me as a temporary fix. The doctor warned that I needed surgery asap. That was 2014. “As soon as possible” has a relative meaning depending on the circumstances of your life… any day now
Yep. It's harder to find pre-packaged foods without sugar in it than it is to find gluten-free options. The amount of sugar in everything is just I-N-S-A-N-E!
My firstborn literally didn’t know that white sugar existed until she was 7-years-old (she was in homeschool). I fed my little ones real, minimally processed food with little added sugar. I really resented teachers that gave my children sugary treats as a reward at school (when they later attended public school). Were these same teachers willing to pay the dental bill?
Congratulations for the strong foundations you built for your children’s health. Remember that the classroom rewards come from the heart and most are most often purchased from the teacher’s own pocket book. Our job is to bring to the teacher’s attention the harm candy rewards cause and to suggest an alternative. I personally like stickers.
@@mariellepariseau2 well said on every point! I also was in the era of stickers and honorable mentions and pins as rewards. It was very effective and truly believe of it’s impact on the kind of values/behaviour it sets in one’s childhood, as well as experiencing intangible vs tangible concepts (like honour vs food).

Excellent talk. Thank you. Dr Kevin Stock has also pointed out the possible connection between plaque on teeth, plaque in the heart, and/or plaque in the brain. These plaques are all ways that our body tries to repair damage. If we cut out the carbs n sugars, the plaques don't form.
I don't think any rational person expects flouride alone to solve the problem of tooth decay. Nor is it breaking news that sugar increases the bacteria in the mouth that cause tooth decay. Keeping one's teeth clean is and always has been important. What we really need is universal access to medical care that includes dental care, vision care, and hearing aids. Why does the insurance industry think that teeth, eyes, and ears are luxury add-ons? We also need universal access to quality food, real food, not processed junk. "Food deserts" condemn people in poverty to the poorest diets of all. We also need health education to confront the common misconception that decay in a child's baby teeth don't matter because they'll fall out.
Unfortunately, even people with easy access to all of these things can and do have severe disease. People have to recognize the importance of these things for themselves or access is meaningless.
Good Luck with the Republic'rats or the Demon'rats ever letting anything nice happen for its fellow citizens. All that matters is that they have the best healthcare & you won't ~ *ever*
@@angelwings7930 That's funny. Numerous studies would contradict your theory. Fluoride has time and time again, been shown to reduce dental caries rates. As for it being a poison, true , in HIGH concentrations, it can be toxic. . But then again, in high concentrations, sodium, potassium, or water can be toxic. Fluoride can remineralize teeth taking a lesion that would become a cavity and actually make in more resistant to decay. So your statement that Fluoride does nothing is erroneous.
@@angelwings7930 ... But the FDA told us that Fluoride was totally safe ~😏😉😂🤣😆 You know / *the FDA* who get 70% of their operating budget from private corporations
yep so many fluoride-phobics don't even realise that many water supplies around the world already have a natural fluoride level equivalent or close to that of artificially fluoridated water.
How wonderful we need more conscious dentists informing young people, most dentists don't know anything about how teeth connect to the rest of the body, even down to each tooth has a corresponding to what organ - wonder how root canals impact the rest of organs in the body?
I started keto then intermittent fasting. My teeth stopped getting that film on them they usually do right before a brushing. It just stopped. My mouth felt much cleaner.
Great presentation. I was so pleased to hear that you were presenting in September and have been waiting to see the video. Thanks for sharing. We also need to continue to get the message out to our profession and the public.
I am 53 and disabled gave no access to dental care, all my top teeth are mostly gone, Medicare won't pay, make just enough to not qualify for medicaid, tried dental schools but without any financial way , there's no way, so I live eating horribly, not smiling, completely embarrassed to go out and have a social life. I feel like I've already died but I'm still here 🥺
Everything is fixable. Look for free grants to get cosmetic proceedures. Or start saving money for them, take a loan. Or if you don't care..then don't worry about it.
@@mullcrumthesage6303 yes I looked into a grant a while ago and being I wasn't actively seeing a dentis they never responded, my disability pays my rent no extra money to save. And yes I care very much because mu gums swell quite often become infected, and I can't eat anything, I live below poverty level and should qualify for medicaid but according to SSA I make 50 bucks to much to qualify mind you I make less $1000 a month. There are clinics but they are allowed to give you one numbing injection per procedure at this point I need surgery and I just give up.
Missy ignores the fact that grains (including whole grains) create higher acid levels in the mouth than even sugar, due to phytic acid. So even if you cut sugars from your diet and eat a whole grain staple diet, you will not decrease tooth decay. We have increased tooth decay because of food price inflation, and greater financial dependance on purchasing the more affordable wheat products.
@@mysmirandam.6618 From what I've learned, that is very challenging. I have a friend with outright Celiac disease. It is so hard for her. So many gluten grain-replacement products tend to be flavourless. So the producers add sugar to mask that. So herbs seem very important.
Most people try not to drink tap water anymore because they think it has so many bad chemicals in it that they are constantly buying bottled water. Not sure if bottle water has fluoride in it or not. But sugar is terrible for teeth!!! for sure!!! Great speech! TY!
I am in my sixties and I along with many of my age group have a lot of problems with teeth. Fillings have failed and we have all needed crowns and bridges or have lost teeth. While I do not deny the truth of sugar causing many problems and correlating with general health, I would like to point out two things. In the sixties and seventies dentists only had amalgam and were encouraged to fill teeth, causing huge carvings of the teeth which weakened them. When my children were growing up in the nineties, there was more of an emphasis on preventative dentistry, and the younger generation have far fewer problems in my experience, and they have eaten sweets. My friends have said similar things. While sugar has certainly caused serious health issues to the teeth and the rest of the body, I think that dentistry has also played a part in this.
I would like to add to that - my husband has had blood pressure problems for many decades, and is a little over weight. He has no fillings - perfect teeth. His mother never took him to the dentist.
I can second that! I owe my mouthful of amalgam and crowns to the mindset of dentists at the time that I was growing up. Drill fill and extract was all they knew how to treat teeth. Not a hint of prevention. Many dentists did unnecessary work for the money.
I third that. The two teeth I have problems with are the ones dentists experimented with according to my mother. Fillings, root canals and implants do not solve the problems. Dentistry is backwards.
I’m not a dentist but I have this long ongoing battle with my teeth. Most of mine are filled 5 crowns 1 implant 1 extracted just more and more work and I could never figure out why . This is great information even for the normal person
Me too, I was told by my periodontist I would lose all my teeth by the time I was 60 (I was 50 at the time). Incredibly, I discovered Weston A Price and the effect of an ancestral diet on teeth. I eliminated all sugar from my diet (including all fruit and grains) and eventually all veggies as well so I was on a carnivore diet. Fast forward 2 years and my periodontist said in shock few months ago "your gums are perfect, there's nothing I can do to help you, what did you do?". Stopped using fluoride toothpaste, stopped using mouth wash, changed to a carnivore diet, did oil pulling with coconut oil every few days. Good luck.
Dentist I've read are the least regulated of all the doctors I've had a few bad ones but I had a great one when I was a teenager and I found a great one now
@@gardeniainbloom812 Animal food diets might be good for your teeth but not for your overall health. Especially red meat. Being vegetarian is better for health, better for the planet, and they’re known to live longer.
@@angelwings7930 Wrong on all counts (except yes of course animal foods are good for your teeth). I don't think you're aware of your inconsistent opening sentence. Do more research. You'll be surprised. Or don't and be happy with your veg.
I’m not sure not sure how many dentists actual want to see healthy mouths... the incentive to make money may override the healthcare/education aspect. Her point on fluoride was very interesting too. Lovely lady, great talk
@@AbsoluteXero Sure, sugar is a horrendous destroyer of teeth. However, we seem to have a crop of dentists who are drilling into healthy teeth. Individuals need to do their part, and dentists need to be honest brokers. Sugar is in almost EVERYTHING. Starches turn into sugar. If one never ate again, bacteria will continue to cause decay. Other illnesses, dry mouth, and medicines affect teeth as well.
@@gingerp6631 That actually isn't true. Patients who are intubated and have food completely bypass the mouth will not develop decay on their teeth, just tartar.
When my siblings and I were young at school,we went to school dentist,all of us had lots of fillings,we were quite poor and had hardly any sweets and no fizzy pop so when I had my children they weren't going to a school dentist,they went to mine,never had any fillings or teeth out,dentist was always pleased with them,they are now 45 and 48 and haven't got fillings and haven't had teeth out! My take on this has always been that it was in the school dentists favour to either fill kids teeth with fillings or extract them ☹
Barbie: We had a local dentist who donated a tooth brush and a small tube of tooth paste either fir the grade I was in or for all the children in the school. As I recall, it was just for the 3 or 4 classrooms of 4th graders. Another dentist donated ballet lesson fees to older students who passed an audition.
Shady dentists indeed... they got paid for every hole they drilled into a kid's teeth, and most people don't know whether it was needed or not. It was probably not needed. I have seen this also in other countries where they had school dentist visits every year. Medical criminals!
I was abused by a denist at age 6, refused to go back until 13(with a cavity that needed a root canal). Now at 34, What I learned was typical people are not trained to read X-rays so they dentist can say you have however many micro cavities and pretend they need to charge you for 10 fillings of “something” you can’t even see.
What a legend, truly inspirational. I’ve been chasing a “Hollywood” smile for as long as I remember. I’ve had braces for five years and I’m still not satisfied with my smile, so I’m looking to veneers to “perfect” them. Quick warning, those influencer “veneers” with aggressive filing to where the whole mouth is just full of canines, if you’re lost, search it up, those procedures are not of veneers, those are crowns, popularity sky rocketed, largely due to influencer marketing. They’re also considerably cheaper, that’s their USP, but what’s the need for all that filing? Isn’t it cheaper or less hassle for orthodontists to just do the appropriate amount of filing? There’s something deceitfully bad about this practice as well, one being that maintaining those “veneers” is another entirely too costly, life long endeavour with the added benefit of having lost most of your original teeth to that dreadful filing. Many folks who do this are also young, furthering maintenance costs. Will we have the same practitioners advertising reasonably priced aftercare solutions as these “veneers” begin to deteriorate due to wear and tear? Given all this , I’ve always wanted to keep my own teeth; use not so invasive procedures to the aforementioned. That being said, my own teeth aren’t the worse, I rarely need fillings and can only remember one instance of teeth related pains. I would also like to add my sugar consumption is most likely average to maybe high. I don’t do sodas, I eat quite a bit of cereal and an avid coffee drinker, with sugar of course. Let me take a moment, to just shame myself a little bit, I’m from the so called “birthplace of coffee” and struggle to drink it without sugar. As it stands, my braces came off early 2021. I’ve had time to get used to my new smile and sadly I’m still not happy with it. My top teeth, two front ones in particular I’m not a fan of. So I am planning to get more cosmetic orthodontist work in pursuit of this dream smile of mine, I know that is most likely a desire fuelled by an amalgamation of every celebrity/influencer’s well crafted image & highly marketable aesthetics I’ve been sold my entire life. This is coupled with a need to conform to what’s desirable. I want my teeth to be healthy and look good, but I’m not sure if I can give up sugar. Honestly, it’s very sad, I’m willing to part ways with my hard earned cash to achieve a seemingly “good” smile but unable to do the cheaper, saner and far more beneficial act of proactively reducing sugar in my diet. This is insane, I take responsibility on my part, I’m no angel, I’d love to say from now on I’ll do better, but it’s gonna take a while. Also, please remember that if you can go without braces, do so, the aftercare costs associated with maintenance is unreal. If you really want to do it and are in a position to do so, learn from whatever you can take from my experience. It’s taken me a while to be this honest with myself, take what you can apply to your circumstances and save towards real professional orthodontist work. Do not, I repeat Do Not use services like smile direct club, I’m not a dentist or an orthodontist, just a longterm and regular care receiver from each of these professions. Just look up negative coverage of these types of companies before doing anything, also get a consultation from a real professional, ask them if services like smile direct are suitable for you. I know that its in the financial interest of the professionals in the industry to recommend or refer patients to other professional practitioners. But, they’re also obligated to tell you the truth. Be frank with them about your finances or lack there of, if you think it’ll help. I feel that services like smile direct prey on peoples desire to also achieve this dream smile, same one I’ve been chasing, but quicker and cheaper. All that glitters is definitely not gold in this case, you may end up needing urgent dental care because of these smile direct club types, seriously, there’s a class action lawsuit filed against them. Well, this has been a very eventful rant, I’m not being paid to dunk on smile direct or anything. I am just tired of lies, it’s cheaper and healthier to eat less sugar, brush and floss, yet that feels like mopping the ocean, even to me. We’ll try. Good luck to you all.
I'm saying this from a place of having had similar obsessions - you might find the money better invested in some therapy sessions with someone both kind and competent. That would have the added benefit of also helping you address the sugar addiction, leading to better health and more wellbeing. It's tough but worth it :)
Parents don’t want to talk about the cause of tooth decay. It’s much easier to shovel addictive food down kids to keep them quiet than to look into a healthy diet and use discipline to control their child’s habits. The parents themselves are often also ingesting that horrible diet. How do I know? I worked in preventative health case for almost 30 years.
Many loving and well intentioned parents don’t know enough about health to make wise decisions about health. I once was invited to visit a pre-school program where the rate of tooth decay was very high. I arrived at nap time and was horrified to see that half of the children were sleeping with a bottle of milk. Their hard working parent had taken the time to pack that bottle in a lunchbox for their child. A gesture coming from pure love for their little one… causing more problems than good. I spent a little time to provide essential knowledge to the care givers and the parents. Now the kids go to bed without a bottle. Even better, they brush their teeth (under supervision) before going to bed for their nap. Breaking the cycle of tooth decay and poor oral health requires knowledge first.
Beverages are most devastating to tooth enamel. I watched a toddler who was constantly given orange juice in her bottle how her front teeth literally disolved. She was not able to speak correctly until her permanent teeth grew out, at 7 years of age. I decided my child will only have water, and no sugary food until she got two. I forgot that the formula contained sugar. Yet she did not have any decaying teeth, even if she eats sweet things a lot. The only thing she does not do: she does not drink any acidulated drinks - maybe occasionally, once in a while. Her teeth are still healthy. I am amazed that a dentist does not know that the phosphor and other stuff in the sodas would dissolve the tooth enamel.
Not to put down your choice to feed your child formula--we are practically railroaded into feeding it to our children--but the human body produces perfect food for babies, and no added sugar. It would be very interesting to look at the history of formula. I'm so tired of corporations playing fast and loose with our health so they can make a profit.
When I was a school girl, one of the "science experiments" was to place a loosened tooth into a glass of Coca-Cola. Classmates were surprised not to find it in the glass any longer.
That would amaze me that any dentist would not know that either. It’s something taught in the first month of US dental schools and I would assume that would be the case worldwide.
The last time I went to a dentist, I was told could not be seen as I didn't have permission from a physician. At the time I was pregnant and considered high risk(age). The OB told me it isn't their responsibility to approve a request for dental. I do not understand 😕 at all. Yet, they wonder why so many people reject the medical/dental community.
What you report here is concerning. When it comes to oral health, it is important that your oral health is good before you get pregnant. Once pregnant, maintaining good oral health is essential for you and your baby. Routine visits such as exams and cleaning should continue during the pregnancy. Small fillings and even simple extractions can safely be done. Best time for dental visits is during the middle and early third trimester during which you are usually beyond morning nausea and not yet so big to make the visit uncomfortable. If you need dental work during the third trimester, you shouldn’t lie flat on your back. You should have your right hip slightly elevated as to not put too much pressure (from the baby in your uterus) on your vena cava.
It is called medical clearance. Other then regular cleaning clearance is requested from the OBGy for dental procedures. It consists of information by the OBGy about this particular case, is it safe to proceed and are there any restrictions and to be carefull about anything. Usually it comes back saying it is all good, for pain go with Tylenol and not Ibuprofen ...
It shouldn't be entirely up to consumers to avoid sugar in our food. The food manufacturers should take some responsibility and stop putting so much sugar in their products, maybe even offer an alternative such as xylitol, a safe natural sweetener that doesn't harm teeth.
@@kevinbartram5302 The alternative is to use sugar which is already proven to cause harm. Xylitol is the complete opposite. It's like comparing coal power with nuclear power.
Dr. Pariseau thank you for this excellent talk which was crafted so very well and delivered with such humour which made it so very easy to understand 👍🤗
@@jayreyndogz1791 Perhaps for some. However fruit for centuries has been engineered to be very sweet and have a lot more fructose than fruits of the past. So for me I am very careful what and how much I eat. All the research I have done points to fructose and refined sugar/carbs as the primary cause of metabolic syndrome: High Insulin levels in the body, therefore Diabetes, High Blood-pressure, obesity and many negative and destructive pathologies that in the long run need be considered. Fruits for some, need be avoided, or, enjoyed occasionally.
Both.(just added to my comments list) Most raw fruits are very high in fructose. (Dried and Juices more so) I eat very little and highly selected low G.I. fruits now. (Believe me I love fruit) however for me, lowering blood sugar by not eating fruit other sugars and carbs has helped me immensely.
@@jayreyndogz1791 not at all. Fruit is designed to fatten animals up for winter, not to be grazed on all year. Its a ton of fructose with a bow on top(vitamins) my bloodwork is great (including vitamin levels) when i stopped all fruit. Big mixed veggie salads, meat, butter, avacado oil, olive oil. Twice per day(sometimes just once) The perfect human diet.
Great talk, thankyou for sharing such an important message. Unfortunately it's not just white sugar that is the culprit, for fruits are also high sugar and carbohydrates turn to sugar in the body. A diet high in fruits and carbohydrates also damage the teeth. Because we are now able to eat unseasonal fruits all year round we eat fruit in excess which is doing the damage. Long ago eating fruit was a treat, not because it was unaffordable but because it was only available for a short season. Fruit today is also alot sweeter due to modification. It turns out that the best foods for healthy teeth are protein and saturated fats. Makes you think, doesn't it.
Long ago, people would "can" fruit, such as peaches, pears, and apricots, in syrup which was almost 100% sugar, so that they could eat fruit throughout the year. Apples and plums (prunes) were often dried, which concentrates the natural sugars, as were grapes (raisins), figs, and dates. Berries, of course, have long been turned into jams or jellies. Eating large amounts of cane sugar is not really new. What is new is the ubiquity of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), which is the real culprit in declining oral health and increasing obesity. Curiously, I didn't hear her mention it.
This is what I was wondering. Does this include natural sugar (fruit, honey) or processed such as HFCS. Honey is a miracle food imo with a ton of healing properties, and I believe fruits have also been referred to as elixirs of health and long life. I incorporate them in my diet and hope the more natural source isn’t what she’s referring to but I can’t find a clear answer.
Fats- not so sure about the saturated part. unsat. is preferable for sure. Protein is over rated. More veggies, no sugar and no processed foods. I don't eat fruit to your point...sans some berries in season. no whole grains and no lectins.
I am an RN, done research in regards to Vitamin D3 and K2. My family now take5000 iu of D3 and 100mcg of K2, daily. DENTAL exam have improved 100 percent. We do not drink sodas or juices. Try to implement low carb diet....I am a carnivore, but the grandkids, not so much.
You are A REGISTERED NURSE- you are no AN REGISTERED NURSE. Sorry- poor grammar is one of my pet peeves. Yes, K2 is important w/D. Magnesium Glycinate before bed is also a winner. So as a Carnivore, how do you get your fiber? How does your bloodwork look? Please don't lie just to try to be right. I eat some meat, but grass FINISHED is very expensive. RN's don't make that much- have some in the fam. I am a whole foods, no sugar type of person. No Whole Grains, No Dairy, No Fruit, etc.
@@carleenturner1348 Ironically, you are the one throwing out emotional insults when I only stated facts. No chip here. Facts don't care about you feelings- oh sorry, "your" feelings. Grammar matters even if you don't care. My two questions remain: 1. So as a Carnivore, how do you get your fiber? 2. How does your bloodwork look?
I recently changed my health plan to one that has a good dental plan. My medical co-pays are a bit higher but it's a positive trade off. At 70 I'm in excellent health and I'm sure good routine dental care plays a big role in having good health. 🦷 That and a healthy diet. I know pple that take a bunch of meds and have doctor appointments at least once a week but never go to the dentist. Sad that they are so ill informed. 😤
Our dentist in the 1960s gave us lollipops as we were leaving, and said, " come back and see us again." ....and we did and did and did....at 71 it's a wonder I have some teeth left. My recent new doctor heard my body issues, and when I asked him if I could be tested for internal parasites, he just wisely said...open your mouth wide for me, and looked in and declared..."Well looks like we need to start in there!" I was shocked, and yes my mouth is a cavern of mercury infused fillings...but it's extremely problematic to correct that, sadly. Super webinar!!!
Would you believe me if I told you, ever since I've given up sugar, highly processed food, dairy and all carbohydrates with exception of minimal plant food, I have had absolutely no problems with my teeth?
@@mariellepariseau2 thanks! True story. My dental hygienist scratches her head when I come in for my cleaning. Very little if any tarter exist. I've never explained.
@@cleancarasmr83 Thank you for asking! My breakfast usually consists of a bowl of fresh fruits, anywhere from 3 to 5 different fruits, always including some small fruits such as cherries or grapes and some berries. The larger fruits are freshly cut into bite size just before serving. Then comes a boiled egg, some Red Mill Muesli with goat Kefir. My hot beverage of choice is Crio Brü Brewed Cacao. For lunch I have fresh raw veggies, at least 3 different ones, hummus, some cheese and crackers and some fermented veggie such as kimchi or sauerkraut. I select my crackers very carefully, making sure that there is no sugar at all in the list of ingredients. I also like the list of ingredients to be very short. My favorite crackers's list of ingredients only has 3 ingredients. My beverage. of choice for lunch is water. I like to have a cup of coffee with cream at the end of that meal. For dinner, I make a large salad from up to 7 different raw veggies tossed in a vinaigrette I make fresh from olive oil (organic, cold pressed), balsamic vinegar, salt, fresh basil, garlic and honey. With the salad, I will have either some wild caught fish sautéed in butter, or some grilled meat, locally sourced, organic, pasture raised, and some roasted sweet potatoes or squash or another type of vegetable or root also roasted. My beverage of choice for dinner is wine. I also eat nuts raw or roasted but not salted. For a sweet treat, I will have some dried fruits, non-sulfured, no sugar added. I seldom snack between meals. I do indulge in desserts every now and again, when we have guests or for a special occasion. I have a weakness for ice cream. On an average day, my caloric intake from sugar represents less than 5% of my total caloric intake.
Dentist never mention added sugar as a danger to oral health. I have taken my daughter to dentist since 6 months they have never mentioned no added sugar before the age of 2. In fact at the hospital, they asked me permission to give to the new born, sugar water as a way to tame for a. Ear exam.
Ana, I’m not sure where you live, but but in the US , every dentist that I know, mentions sugar in diet and oral hygiene when it comes to discussing oral health with patients. As for giving your child something sweet for a one time exam, it will have no deleterious effect on your child’s teeth. I wouldn’t encourage it, but if it helps your child get through the exam with minimal trauma, then it’s not the end of the world. It certainly beats sedating your child.
@@toothrestorer6588 I guess we are both wrong. Me for writting never and Tooth Restorer for stating "every" From Google: The problem with absolutes is that they are almost always impossible to prove. All that is needed to overthrow an absolute is a single exception. Acceptable absolutes are found in scientific papers because what’s in them is understood to be true “so far” and in faith-based discussion (e.g., We’re all God’s children.) because, well, it’s faith, and thus doesn’t require proof.
As a nurse I can’t count the number of times I was frustrated about the dental divide when my cardiology patients had SBE from horrible dental disease. 🤷🏼♀️
Yes! The connection between mouth and heart is undeniable. I would imagine that as a nurse you have also witnessed the connection between mouth and lungs too. When we will finally connect mouth to body and teeth to health we will save lives.

About 30 years ago, my sister had heart problems that brought her to the emergency department. I remember the cardiologist asking her if she’d had any recent dental problems. I thought it a strange line of questioning ,but the doctor explained that there is a direct correlation between dental and cardiac health. I guess what I’m trying to say is that these things have been known for along time, but there seems to be a lack of communication ,co-operation , and co- ordination among health care professionals.
Everything in moderation. Fluoride has its side effects as well, including white streaks and staining. My bet is that the industry will eventually realize the vast negative affects of fluoride. I agree with reducing sugar in diets. That’s a no brainer.
wow, this Lady is the real thing! oh how I wish my dentist as a child would have done an intervention around food before drilling and filling.. something to offer future generations
I would love to see more studies and research about the calcification of the pineal gland caused by the excess of Fluoride in our diet and the dangers of it...
Great comment. This issue needs clarification for sure. The pineal gland may be the most fluoride saturated organ in the body due to its high vascularisation and it’s location outside the blood-brain barrier. It is known that pineal gland calcification is common in older adults and in certain pathologies. It has the highest calcification rate of all organs and tissues in the body. We need more studies to confirm the theories linking fluoride to accelerated calcification of the pineal gland. Thank you for your comment.
I was born in 1961. my mother was educated and did not allow sugar in her home. Today i am 60 years old and have never had a cavity in my life. I give my mother the credit for that!
what is your diet? Do you eat starch? Thanks for sharing.

@@CocoW1968 really? what has your diet been in a nutshell?
You’re old
Same here - 70's kid - no cavities. We would have one litre bottle of pop between the five of us as a treat at the weekend. Chocolate and a packet of crisps was a treat but no candies. I felt I was missing out at the time but not I am so grateful.
Would be nice if dental health care was included with general health insurance.
It is faulty thinking that leads many to believe that including dentistry in health care would be too expensive. Only when we reconnect teeth to body will we begin to save health care dollars... and lives.
@@mariellepariseau2 a dental hygienist educated me on my teeth at my cleaning a few weeks ago. She informed me of how my front bottom teeth were with plaque buildup which was a sign of high cholesterol which could lead to heart attack. I thought one of my teeth had chipped on the bottom row but it was actually plaque buildup. I think this lady helped save my life, I have been feeling so much better with my health and energy after that cleaning and also have been using better dental hygiene techniques. I had changed my eating habits way before my cleaning but was still not feeling the best but I’m feeling a lot better. I made a physician appointment to follow up on my cholesterol and to see where my numbers are.

I am glad that you have witnessed your personal changes towards better health while connecting your teeth to whole health. Thank you for sharing your story!
Evidently teeth, eyes, and ears are not parts of the human body. You have to insure these separately like jewelry.
That would be part of the cure. However, the treatment is with more $$$
Drilling, filling, replacement feels like the end goal when I go see a dentist. Refreshing to see a dentist that try’s to save a tooth and preach prevention knowing it’s not as profitable!
They are incredibly rare. A dentist in my area just got sentenced to 4 years in prison for purposefully breaking peoples teeth so he could cap them and make even more money. As an aside a woman I used to work with is married to a dentist and they both retired at age 50!!! They are LOADED! May I add they both drink ALOT.
Once i went to the dentist who told me id been brushing too hard and had eaten away at my teeth with the toothbrush
Next time I went she told me that had remineralised repairing themselves. If we find a way to stop plaque then they all should be able to do that instead of decay
Bc of income goal !!

hmm, it's well known among nutritionists and doctors. I see it more as informing but not courageous. Only the public is unaware as a whole .
Strongly agree with your comment
My family moved to Ireland from China three years ago. We are touched by the warm-hearted, friendly people in Ireland, and we are also astonished by how much candy, chocolates, cakes they give to kids as treats in playgroup and school.
It's the culture, the conceptions of sugar that need to be changed. Diet have 'memories'. You tend to crave the same stuff you eat offen when you are little. Less sugar, Please.
Moved to Ireland from Germany. Had the same experience and I am still puzzled that the kids are only having sugary drinks. Been called a bad mom twice for not giving my toddler chocolate.
Strange as both primary and play schools have banned items you cannot send as packed lunch with your child in Ireland - such as any sugar drinks, all sweets including chocolate, crisps etc. These items can be confiscated but more likely the parents are given a warning to comply with the guidelines. Parents are given alternative list of items that they can bring - Water, milks, fruit juices, fruits, whole meal carbs etc. Ireland does have a problem with increasing levels of obesity and I do think there should be a tax implemented on sugar like cigarettes to discourage over indulgence. But schools are not that lax to allow junk food as lunch nor indeed do they even encourage it.
Total abstinence is not healthy either. There’s a balance to everything. If you want to practice abstinence then do so by all means. But let’s not exaggerate that schools allow a lunch sugar fest.
Yes @Rita Wu and the obesity it causes
@@aurelia4044 personally, i almost exclusively drink water

I loved the philosopher's quote about the best medicine is to avoid needing medicine. Many people don't see dentists because it's not affordable so the best route is to take personal responsibility for what you put into your body.
True👍
There's nothing to eat but food.
How am I going to avoid sugar??
@@carpediemarts705 it's not about avoiding sugar, it's about eating it in moderation. In the US, our health declined when government got involved in our diet.
@@carpediemarts705 Clue: types of sugar play a part.....
"Let food be your medicine, or medicine will be your food."
Can't remember quite who said it, but it's absolutely true. Diet and proper nutrition with real and moderately processed food, not ultraprocessed, do absolute *wonders* for all aspects of health from oral health to metabolic function and preventing obesity.
Dr Robert Lustig also has many good talking points and has done much of his own research and written books about the topics Marielle talks about here. He is one of the leading physicians trying to educate people about the dangers of sugar in particular.
Bravo bravissimo
Finally someone who tells the truth that teeth are not a separate entity
She’s no businesswoman but an educator! Kudos!!!
My father, a dental surgeon, used to say this more than 60 years ago. He felt like he was preaching in the desert! Nevertheless, he kept on sharing this info with as many people as possible. I truly hope that Marielle Pariseau continues her crusade and that one decision-maker in a powerful position will help her bring about the needed revolution. Congrats and ongoing courage to Marielle Pariseau. By the way, her first name plus her family name are totally, unmistakenly of French origin. Two beautiful names! A great person behind them.
Well done! This should be seen by every dental student in their first year. Marielle, thank you for this presentation. Your passion and commitment to our profession is exciting and exhilaration !!
If you are a Dental student, I need to talk with, Please!
Wow, what a hero for her honest and brilliant work. She is not doing it to be popular or 'win points' in her profession or to virtue signal. Respect and Gratitude to Dr Pariseau.
I have not watched a TED Talk in ages. This video popped up in my recommendations. This reminds me why I'm subscribed to the Ted Talk channel in first place. This lady is super likeable and very easy to listen to. This presentation was also flawless.
presentation was flossless?
This one was very good. Some others not so much! :(
They have such great content. I was taking a pre-req when one of my teachers had us watch a Ted Talk video for a Discussion Board. That was when I was introduced to my first Ted Talk. I'm so glad for these topics. Very informative 👍
She’s correct. I have $50,00.00ISD worth of dental work in my mouth because of a sugar addiction. I used to drink Mountain Dew instead of water. I destroyed a kidney, ruptured my intestines and had severe sepsis that caused seizures.
Get off the sugar.
I take care of my teeth more religiously than most people I know, but due to negligence during my childhood, have so many issues. I still have huge complexes because of it, even after wearing braces and investing lots of money in my teeth
Since 2 weeks mountain dew got banned in Europe and Japan lol
Genetic predisposition plays a role too. Praying for you. Take care.

As a teacher and health coach I am so saddened by the idea that every holiday( which seem to happen every couple of weeks) is celebrated with sugary treats. It’s so hard to step away from it, the culture is stuck on rewarding with candy, sugar and what I refer to as processed’non-food’. Thank you for this
Amen
Check out a book called Pure, White and Deadly about the sugar industry.
I tell my babysitting kids about real food and fake food.

Great
All food is processed some way or another.
I made it to my early 40’s eating a diet that consisted of little to no sugar and only had one cavity in my life , got married and my wife cooks with a lot of sugar and started bringing home candy as a treat for me , I haven’t gained any weight, so I wasn’t thinking my consumption was excessive, but my teeth began to fall apart and ended up losing 5 teeth within 6 years.
I suspected sugar was a contributing factor, but I have chalked it up to age , now I’m gonna eliminate sugar from my diet completely.
Thank you
I was heartbroken over losing 1 tooth, which happened due to a large filling I go years ago. Ironically it was removed after I fixed my diet and my teeth health was greatly improved.
Did your teeth hurt? Why did you have them removed?
Sugar is bad but you have to make sure you are eating enough protein and getting enough vitamins A, D and K2 and Magnesium. I hope that helps you from losing any more teeth.
@@colinthomson5358 a few teeth began to break apart right as the lockdown started and by the time I was able to get back in to the dentist , a few were too far gone to save , surprisingly , only 2 were painful , the rest weren’t , but that may have been helped by the Sensodyne. I’m very consistent with my vitamins, although I may have been lacking in K2 and my protein levels may have dropped a bit during the lockdown due to being sedentary
It's actually being married that's led to the loss of your teeth

Years ago a dentist I went to had this sign in his waiting room. It was a quote from one of the doctors Mayo who started Mayo Clinic. It read: “Good dental hygiene can extend human life 10 years.” Makes sense. If you cannot properly chew your food, whole fruits, veggies, etc. how good can your health be?
Dr. Mayo’s legitimate concerns over the role of dentistry and disease prevention were ignored by his colleagues, choosing profitable, endless procedures instead of simple, common sense measures like pulling teeth.
@@natureloversadventures7335 But what if it causes your teeth to collapse into the gap and lose alignment????? :/

Oh my gosh! From what I understand, root canals are THE WORST!!! My Dad had a root canal in 1979 and broke capillaries in his face from just making it through the pain and the procedure itself, never had another one done. I've always shuddered at the idea of one. Thankfully that has never came up.
I spent much of my life addicted to sugar and have finally been able to break that addiction. Unfortunately I’ve had many problems with my teeth and I’m now facing extraction of one of my front teeth after a failed apicoectomy. I really wish I could’ve understood the gravity of my actions in the past. I am 58 now and I’m relatively well but I worry how much damage I’ve done to my body because of my past sugar intake. I really enjoyed this talk and I love how this beautiful woman is sharing her experience in order to help others!
Thanks for sharing that ... you reminded me of that saying :

Good on you for your efforts at "righting your path" forward . . . Ultimately we all
end up in the same place (and without our teeth) ... so here's to enjoying the ride in any case !
Dental implants are a far better experience than you expect. Expensive though. Without that hole being closed up, your teeth will shift, making eating more difficult.
@@dcwander7092 I’m definitely getting the implant, just not looking forward to it. It’s going to be in a front tooth so if I don’t get the implant I’ll have a front tooth missing which is not the look I’m going for😂
Can you share how you broke your addiction to sugar?
@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane of course. I started seeing a nutritionist that required me to take a picture of everything I ate and upload it into a program. I started realizing how much sugar was in everything! I started enjoying fruit instead. The longer I went without eating sugary foods the less I craved them! I started losing weight and that helped me to continue because I felt so much better about myself😀
Good chat by a caring doctor- a rare breed. She is right. Sugar kills and it's infuriating that it is allowed to be sold to us. They are literally killing us and getting rich from it.
Though I always say we are not children no one is forcing us to go to Burger King or buy snickers bars. People want to blame politicians and the industry when instead they should be taking control of their own lives.
@@julittok You are wrong. If you are serious you are one of the most naïve people I have ever met. When we are given 1,000 choices e.g., in a supermarket and 950 are bad, we have an insidious problem. The 1.5 TRILLION dollar processed food industry needs you to consume their poison. Because they lobby and enrich those who support them, they are allowed to peddle their poison. The "health"care industry, and that lobby then benefits tremendously when people get sick. They are there to treat with drugs and around and around they go. Laughing all their way to the bank. McDonalds gets their food subsidized (cheaper for them to sell it) for a reason. When a manager asked, "would you also subsidize the salads?" he was told a definitive "NO." WAKE UP. It's a game of heads I win, tails you lose. The people in the US are losing and your attitude does not help. Be outspoken against this crime against humanity. That is not a dramatic statement- that is reality.
On a side note, I have travelled to other, far healthier countries. They simply do not have commercials running 24/7 selling sickness and pills and a machine that fully supports it. As a result, they haven't heard of 1/100th of the "diseases" we magically have in the US. Their people eat well, exercise, rest and their levels of dis-ease are far less than in the US. This metric is very carefully measured and well know. In the US they try to make things seem normal when they are not, like commercials that casually say, "Hey- talk to your gastroenterologist?" Sure, like I have one on speed-dial (sadly many do and that number is increasing.) That is their dream end-state. EVERY person in the US hooked on polypharmacy. Every person in the US to become a dependent substance ADDICT. Guess what? For the most part, that is already the current day reality.
Sadly, and yet over population is still an issue on Earth
@@julittok Yes, those are obvious things. However, sugar is a major ingredient in many products you wouldn't think would contain sugar. Such as peanut butter. Sugar is just randomly added to almost all processed foods. People need to be reeducated--we need to cook our own foods, from scratch, and stop supporting the corporations.
@@robincrowflies amen! I find organic condiments not so disgustingly sweet. Processed frozen food lacks all important fiber and don’t get me started on microwaved meals.

Thank you doctor. I have my own practice in India and most of my time is spent counselling my patients how our lifestyle directly affects our overall health, not just teeth. Some take and thank me for the advice, while some just ignore. Regardless, it's our job to advise them.
Many of these patients end up getting diabetes and hypertension along with cardiovascular disease.
It hurts more to see children affected with all carious teeth. Counselling their parents are more challenging. Some refuse to believe.
Congratulations on the time you invest in educating your patients!
It's easy to deny, because the planet is now set up to eat sugar. Processed, packaged food is the mainstream. It's hard to do well. And, people just don't care.
I can understand… with all those Indian sweets everywhere it must be quite a challenge.
God bless you for caring about your patients and their overall health. I prefer to be a patient to doctors who didn't attend medical school in the US because they're not taught to read the body but instead to overdose us with meds. Doctors trained in India and South America are trained to read the body and recommend healthy eating habits - huge difference!
@@juana7035 many doctors train to make money; not care about patients. Many go into medical school to better their income so live a great life. Parents encourage wards to study medicine to can make a lot of money so what do you expect?
Speaking of the whole "No sugar for kids under two" thing... I don't know why since I don't have kids, but kicks and giggles when I was at the grocery store, I read the list of ingredients for baby formula and to my horror a couple of them had sugar listed as the FIRST ingredient.

It’s very peculiar that health insurance doesn’t cover dental, it’s separate and covers very little with a very low yearly cap, yet teeth are a very important part of our anatomy and health.
Dental prices aren't regulated nor are dentist . Bad Teeth can make you very ill
@@denisekarolewski640 yep I know.
Because they know that sick people is where the money is at. if you take care of your teeth you might be a lot healthier overall and that would mean fewer people needing the healthcare system, which is a billion dollar industry.

@@kg7227 but everyone’s teeth will eventually need some type of work as we age and that’s just part of overall all healthcare.
@ K G. Exactly!! The money is in SICK care
It's great to hear this from an actual dentist. As a child I would only have soda at parties and candy on Saturdays. We had oats for breakfast. Sugary cereal was not allowed. Now I am 34. I don't like soda. I don't like candy except chocolate and marzipan. I rarely eat processed foods. I never eat fast food and I have never had a hole in my teeth. I live in Denmark. We don't put fluorite in our water supply and I have used fluorite free toothpaste for the last 10 years.
Awesome you haven't had any cavities. So do you see a dentist every 6-12 months?
I'm curious what a typical dental visit costs in Denmark?
I think that any treatments (which you fortunately don't need), are subsidized?
In the USA, dental treatments are potentially outrageously expensive. It's $300 to start for a visit. Add x-rays you're up to $500. Cleaning brings it up to $700 (this needs to be done annually). If someone needs a cavity worked on, that will probably be $300 - 800 per tooth. Root canal $800. RC's require a crown which adds $1,200+ to that two step procedure.
After that, these treatments like fillings, crowns, veneers, on and on, require maintenance. They can wear down, or fall apart. Dentists then charge the full ticket price again to repair an issue.
There isn't any universal medical access like those in Denmark have. With dental maintenance, like health care, people in the USA are on their own. It's why some people in the USA have discovered medical and dental tourism. They go abroad to get care. It's crazy to think that adding a flight + trip costs + treatment is more reasonable than paying for that same treatment locally.
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 I had several years where I didn't go to the dentist, because I had no money, but now I go every 6 months. It costs me 5-700 danish kroner per visit. Obviously it would be more expensive if I had cavities.
Dental is not included in national health care here. There is a small income group (people on the lowest welfare) that can apply to have 65% coverage for expensive procedures. Lots of people in Denmark also go to Poland and such places to have dental procedures, because they can't afford them here.
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 Oh, but I should mention that dental is covered for everyone until the age of 18.
Isnt oats contain sugar content as well? ( gluten, sugar?)
@@umaimasiddiqui7376 I don't know a lot about gluten, but what when I say sugary cereal, I mean stuff that has added sugar. Natural sugar content is not the same as a bowl of Frosties. Just like eating a pear is not the same as eating

"Do you ever talk about your teeth with your physician? Perhaps you should! And here's the most important reason why: your teeth are the best, the most accessible, the most obvious early warning system for predicting future breakdowns elsewhere in the body decades before they occur" (8:18 - 8:42)

@@LillyBunnyBoo actually that’s quite the accomplishment. To be 70 and still have all your teeth. That’s amazing. I’ve been in dentistry for 8 years. I’ve had some of the richest people in the DC metro area in my chair as patients. And I’ve also seen the poorest of the poor. As in homeless off the streets and living in the woods. It’s rare that I see a patient no matter their income or background over the age of 40 with all their teeth. I’ve had patients in their 20’s with almost no teeth in their mouths.
Agee, please continue doing what you’re doing.

Great video, thank you very much!
I'm almost 50 years old and other day my new dentist complimented my teeth and asked:
"How many times a day you do brush them?"
To which I answered: "Just once but I do it very thoroughly, including dental floss every time."
Then he repeated what I always say: "Better to do it once very well than many times not so good."
A once per day thorough brushing and flossing may be enough if your sugar consumption is not excessive. Did your dentist ask you about your sugar consumption? Focusing on oral hygiene alone is a mistake many make. Some world class athletes who have better than average oral hygiene have more cavities than average when they consume a lot of energy drinks, gels, and bars (all high in sugar content).
@@mariellepariseau2 Thanks for liking my comment, Marielle!
In fact, he asked me about my diet and sugar consumption. I live in Brazil where the sugar intake is huge among our people and I'm aware of how this is so bad.
I do try to avoid excesses but even lowering my sugar consumption, it's still so hard to break this addiction...
Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
An innovative, challenging wake-up call from a very bright committed woman. While nothing is in and of itself unique in this talk, it is indeed wonderfully brought together to give all of us food (sugar-free) for thought. Kudos to Dr. Marielle Pariseau for challenging us to do better.
what about pure honey and general fruit sugars. Pity she didn't say?
@@anthonyogrady1081 The best kind of sweeteners, but still not to be taken in excessive amounts. Proverbs 25:16 - "Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it."
I would fight for my country that treated dentistry procedures as an absolute right with nothing being considered "cosmetic" and not eligible for insurance. That one decision by insurance corporations has killed so many spirits of formerly healthy people priced out of their health and confidence. Its not right to make a smile a billable luxury, we're better than that.
I have always said that good dental health is a privileged luxury that only people who have money could afford. My teeth are getting into worse shape over time and state healthcare is a joke, so I'm screwed. Can't even find a job that actually offers health and dental insurance.
DENTAL CARE IS NOT A RIGHT, AS MANY OTHER THINGS ARE NOT A RIGHT, NICE BUT NOT A RIGHT.
That's why I've never understood the separation between health insurance and dental insurance, when dental health effects overall health? The VA, once one retires with a disability is only offered health treatment and not dental insurance (unless 100% disabled). This doesn't make sense, because poor oral health causes problems detrimental to overall health, so why is that? Health is health, right? Plus, it takes stronger teeth to eat fresh and healthy foods, than processed foods, so I sense a bit of hypocrisy. Not in this lady speaking, because she's amazing, but rather the insurance companies of the health insurance industry and dental insurance industry.
As a practicing dentist of over 40 years, I often found a correlation between the condition of a patient's teeth and gums, and their overall health. Show me a mouth full of cavities and periodontal disease, and I will show you a patient with a myriad of systemic medical problems. Often such patients even look unhealthy.
Are some people predisposed to teeth/gum issues more so than others?
Or maybe when people don't take care of their oral hygiene they dont take care of anything else ?
Wow. I never thought there was such a direct correlation. I m 57 without a single filling yet. This has, you have made my day!
@@julieplummer6611 Just because you don't have a filling doesn't mean you don't have tooth decay.
@@TrenerBorisFarkas I agree, definitely a big factor.
In 1986 I was exchange student in the US. Even as a teenager, I was shocked to see how much sugar was given to children. Cola was readily available and given to toddles. (At home in The Netherlands, my two brothers and I shared a litre of cola over the weekend. Each one 150 ml glass on Friday, one on Saturday). Our mother gave us fluoride pills when we grew up. At 42, I had my very first cavity. Ten years later, it is still the only one I have. My brothers have few cavities as well.
Fluoride pills though? Dang.
A much-needed talk. I take the points made, that healthy teeth are primarily about diet and that Western society has to move away from the highly processed, sugary food which has become endemic. However, genetic differences in teeth need to be recognised. My teeth are 'soft' and particularly susceptible to decay.
Early example: I had a root canal at age three due to apple juice and popular processed foods of the time, which in America in the early 80s were rampant and well accepted. My father is a doctor and my mother a nurse, so both were well aware of healthy foods and generally we ate quite well, eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, and were rarely allowed 'junk food'. However, it was difficult to avoid the mainstream offerings. For instance, Honey Nut Cheerios was my favourite breakfast cereal for over a decade - now I'd class it as junk food, at the time it was an acceptable cereal.
Throughout my childhood, following that early root canal, I had a cavity at most dental visits. My brother, on the other hand, who ate a similar diet, and in fact, far more sweets and sugary breakfast cereals, has never had a cavity (he just turned 40). My dad has a mouth full of fillings from when he was younger, and his teeth are now breaking down due to all the fillings; my mum has no fillings, she has never had a single cavity. My parents eat a very similar diet so might be expected to have similar dental health.
Genetically, I have my father's teeth, which are 'softer' and more prone to decay; my brother has my mother's, which are 'harder' and not at all prone to decay. I thus have to work hard to keep my teeth healthy: eat a wholesome diet with minimal refined sugar, brush assiduously with an electric toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, etc. When I was pregnant with my first child, I developed gum disease. By paying more attention to my teeth (carefully brushing, flossing and using a special mouthwash) when I was pregnant with my second, I managed to avoid it, maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout.
Given my history, my children only drink water and milk, and our family primarily eats wholesome meals made from scratch (we live in the UK), although my kids do have a penchant for sweets.
So while I take the point in this talk, a genetic element has to be acknowledged - some people's teeth are just much more predisposed to decay, while others seem to eat vast amounts of sugary foods and never suffer from tooth decay - this latter group need to be studied! What is it in their genetic make-up that protects their teeth so well?
Interesting side note, aside from a healthy diet, taking up tea drinking over the last 20 years living in England has also helped to protect my teeth, according to a British dentist.
Wow! This is my exact situation! My teeth are soft and my siblings are harder 🦷
@Elimat I had one dentist ask me if I was into drugs because of the state of my teeth, I was never so insulted in my life, my teeth were always good, and were taking care of until I was out of dental insurance and then could not afford dental. I tried everything I could now I gave up, and I'm suffering quite a bit with my top guns as they are all mostly gone and broken, being on disability the money I make goes towards for a place over my head, so can't save anything, I went to a dental school last year they extract one and I almost fell over when the lady told me I owed them almost 6500.00 dollars. Please don't give up if you can afford care as they will get worse until they're gone.
Hello, look for a carnivore diet, it's something incredible, imagine that your bones are around 50% mineralized protein, meat is something incredible, I hope you search for this information, I believe that regardless of your genetics, your body knows it very well what to do with a highly nutritious food,
I have helped in something,
gratitude for the attention
@Elimat There is definitely a genetic element! So frustrating you've not been able to find a way to keep your teeth healthy! Do persevere, as it's so important to overall health and you want to avoid losing your teeth later in life. Regarding 'grinding' - I think that's the word you want. I also grind my teeth at night, but think many people do - my whole family does, regardless of whether they have 'soft' or 'hard' teeth. It's pretty common. The dentist is always trying to get me to buy a very expensive mouth guard, but as yet, have held off. Thanks for sharing your story - good luck with finding a solution to keeping your teeth and gums healthy!
@@Emily-yz1fg do a parasite cleanse, gut cleanse. They are known to induce grinding as a symptom. Be sure to use binders, and enemas to help support you body on the exit path. The body has to remove daily, all that the cleanse kills. Cleanses are typically an herbal combination, or combo with easier to digest foods for 7-10 days.
Hi.. I'm a dentist myself.. I'm really glad I heard you.. I'll definitely counsel aap my patients about the hidden sugars in the goods available nowadays.

I have heard that fluoride negatively affects the thyroid.
It is said that too much fluoride is another cause for white spots on teeth.
Also, that plaque build up is attributed to an excess of calcium (sometimes, other minerals).The body leaches it out via the salivary glands to try to rid the excess and it collects on the teeth.
Your first 2 statements bear some truth. As for the third statement, calcium in your saliva is good and helps keep your teeth strong. However, plaque on teeth is a soft sticky film that contains bacteria. If your diet is high in sugars, this film will build up rapidly. If it is not removed with proper brushing and flossing, then the minerals in your saliva (including calcium) will harden the plaque into tartar, which can lead to gum disease and tooth loss. In summary, good nutrition and good hygiene are important for your health.
Fluoride also effects the pineal gland negatively!! This is your third eye and extremely important to your awareness. Be careful with fluoride!
I've experienced the fluoride issue. The 80s was big on fluoride in school.
Fluoride is also a neurotoxin. Perhaps its addition to the public water supply, in addition to the killing off of our gut bacteria (essential to healthy brain and mental development) by antibiotics, anti-bacterial products and lower quality natural food, has contributed to the massive rise in Alzheimer's, dementia and autism??
@@rhiannonchaffer2588 EEEEeeeeekkk!
I have a life threatening abscess. It’s landed me emergency room where they pumped intravenous antibiotics into me as a temporary fix. The doctor warned that I needed surgery asap. That was 2014. “As soon as possible” has a relative meaning depending on the circumstances of your life… any day now
Yep. It's harder to find pre-packaged foods without sugar in it than it is to find gluten-free options. The amount of sugar in everything is just I-N-S-A-N-E!
What an incredibly stylish and articulate woman. Beautiful in message. What a revelation as well.
She’s got it! Whole body health is a must. I enjoyed this video
My firstborn literally didn’t know that white sugar existed until she was 7-years-old (she was in homeschool). I fed my little ones real, minimally processed food with little added sugar. I really resented teachers that gave my children sugary treats as a reward at school (when they later attended public school). Were these same teachers willing to pay the dental bill?
Congratulations for the strong foundations you built for your children’s health. Remember that the classroom rewards come from the heart and most are most often purchased from the teacher’s own pocket book. Our job is to bring to the teacher’s attention the harm candy rewards cause and to suggest an alternative. I personally like stickers.
@@mariellepariseau2 well said on every point! I also was in the era of stickers and honorable mentions and pins as rewards. It was very effective and truly believe of it’s impact on the kind of values/behaviour it sets in one’s childhood, as well as experiencing intangible vs tangible concepts (like honour vs food). I can recall we had a teacher that Once in a while, awarded one of the most anticipated rewards by draw, for one pupil be the dedicated & Responsible blackboard eraser for one day !! 😂…
Excellent talk. Thank you. Dr Kevin Stock has also pointed out the possible connection between plaque on teeth, plaque in the heart, and/or plaque in the brain. These plaques are all ways that our body tries to repair damage. If we cut out the carbs n sugars, the plaques don't form.
There is a high correlation between infections in the mouth and onset of Alzheimer’s.
@@youtubename7819
True but I thought most knew this.
I don't think any rational person expects flouride alone to solve the problem of tooth decay. Nor is it breaking news that sugar increases the bacteria in the mouth that cause tooth decay. Keeping one's teeth clean is and always has been important. What we really need is universal access to medical care that includes dental care, vision care, and hearing aids. Why does the insurance industry think that teeth, eyes, and ears are luxury add-ons? We also need universal access to quality food, real food, not processed junk. "Food deserts" condemn people in poverty to the poorest diets of all. We also need health education to confront the common misconception that decay in a child's baby teeth don't matter because they'll fall out.
Unfortunately, even people with easy access to all of these things can and do have severe disease. People have to recognize the importance of these things for themselves or access is meaningless.
Good Luck with the Republic'rats or the Demon'rats ever letting
anything nice happen for its fellow citizens.
All that matters is that they have the best healthcare & you won't ~ *ever*
Fluoride does nothing and it’s a poison.
@@angelwings7930 That's funny. Numerous studies would contradict your theory. Fluoride has time and time again, been shown to reduce dental caries rates. As for it being a poison, true , in HIGH concentrations, it can be toxic. . But then again, in high concentrations, sodium, potassium, or water can be toxic. Fluoride can remineralize teeth taking a lesion that would become a cavity and actually make in more resistant to decay. So your statement that Fluoride does nothing is erroneous.
@@angelwings7930 ... But the FDA told us that Fluoride was totally safe ~😏😉😂🤣😆
You know / *the FDA*

My mother grew up with natural fluoride in the water. Left at 19 years OLD. Now 83 Years and only ( 1 ) cavity her whole LIFE.
wow
yep so many fluoride-phobics don't even realise that many water supplies around the world already have a natural fluoride level equivalent or close to that of artificially fluoridated water.
Awesome talk!! Luv her delivery of the info, to the point and with humour. Well done!

How wonderful we need more conscious dentists informing young people, most dentists don't know anything about how teeth connect to the rest of the body, even down to each tooth has a corresponding to what organ - wonder how root canals impact the rest of organs in the body?
Kanelli, can you please expound? I’m going to have a root canal next week
I really enjoyed this video. She did not "sugar coat" her presentation.
I started keto then intermittent fasting. My teeth stopped getting that film on them they usually do right before a brushing. It just stopped. My mouth felt much cleaner.
Same. And, now I only brush my teeth with organic, unrefined coconut oil.
Trouble is keto diet is deadly.

Every dentist needs to watch this
I am 53 and disabled gave no access to dental care, all my top teeth are mostly gone, Medicare won't pay, make just enough to not qualify for medicaid, tried dental schools but without any financial way , there's no way, so I live eating horribly, not smiling, completely embarrassed to go out and have a social life. I feel like I've already died but I'm still here 🥺
Everything is fixable. Look for free grants to get cosmetic proceedures. Or start saving money for them, take a loan. Or if you don't care..then don't worry about it.
@@mullcrumthesage6303 yes I looked into a grant a while ago and being I wasn't actively seeing a dentis they never responded, my disability pays my rent no extra money to save.

Excellent talk. Thanks for exposing the sugar threat to everyone's health.
Love this talk. Impressive. Thank you, Dr. Pariseau. So needed
Missy ignores the fact that grains (including whole grains) create higher acid levels in the mouth than even sugar, due to phytic acid. So even if you cut sugars from your diet and eat a whole grain staple diet, you will not decrease tooth decay. We have increased tooth decay because of food price inflation, and greater financial dependance on purchasing the more affordable wheat products.
May be you are right, but you can't eat whole grain stuff every half hour like you do with sugar - it is in everything you put in your mouth ☹️
@@soukiwifun5744 not really. I eat carnivore - meat, eggs, bacon, butter…..no sugars at all. Drinking only water
ScottEngland you are not right. You have no facts correct.
I have to go gluten free for me that means the inflammation is lowered
@@mysmirandam.6618 From what I've learned, that is very challenging. I have a friend with outright Celiac disease. It is so hard for her. So many gluten grain-replacement products tend to be flavourless. So the producers add sugar to mask that. So herbs seem very important.
Most people try not to drink tap water anymore because they think it has so many bad chemicals in it that they are constantly buying bottled water. Not sure if bottle water has fluoride in it or not. But sugar is terrible for teeth!!! for sure!!! Great speech! TY!
Bottled water is dangerous bc it contains plasticides which are bioaccumulative possibly resulting in cancer.
Bottled water, often, does not include fluoride.
I am in my sixties and I along with many of my age group have a lot of problems with teeth. Fillings have failed and we have all needed crowns and bridges or have lost teeth. While I do not deny the truth of sugar causing many problems and correlating with general health, I would like to point out two things. In the sixties and seventies dentists only had amalgam and were encouraged to fill teeth, causing huge carvings of the teeth which weakened them. When my children were growing up in the nineties, there was more of an emphasis on preventative dentistry, and the younger generation have far fewer problems in my experience, and they have eaten sweets. My friends have said similar things. While sugar has certainly caused serious health issues to the teeth and the rest of the body, I think that dentistry has also played a part in this.
I would like to add to that - my husband has had blood pressure problems for many decades, and is a little over weight. He has no fillings - perfect teeth. His mother never took him to the dentist.
I can second that! I owe my mouthful of amalgam and crowns to the mindset of dentists at the time that I was growing up. Drill fill and extract was all they knew how to treat teeth. Not a hint of prevention. Many dentists did unnecessary work for the money.
I third that. The two teeth I have problems with are the ones dentists experimented with according to my mother. Fillings, root canals and implants do not solve the problems. Dentistry is backwards.
I’m not a dentist but I have this long ongoing battle with my teeth. Most of mine are filled 5 crowns 1 implant 1 extracted just more and more work and I could never figure out why . This is great information even for the normal person
Me too, I was told by my periodontist I would lose all my teeth by the time I was 60 (I was 50 at the time). Incredibly, I discovered Weston A Price and the effect of an ancestral diet on teeth. I eliminated all sugar from my diet (including all fruit and grains) and eventually all veggies as well so I was on a carnivore diet. Fast forward 2 years and my periodontist said in shock few months ago "your gums are perfect, there's nothing I can do to help you, what did you do?". Stopped using fluoride toothpaste, stopped using mouth wash, changed to a carnivore diet, did oil pulling with coconut oil every few days. Good luck.
Dentist I've read are the least regulated of all the doctors I've had a few bad ones but I had a great one when I was a teenager and I found a great one now
@@sportysbusiness Well done. Western A. Price found teeth do heal with an animal food diet.
@@gardeniainbloom812 Animal food diets might be good for your teeth but not for your overall health. Especially red meat. Being vegetarian is better for health, better for the planet, and they’re known to live longer.
@@angelwings7930 Wrong on all counts (except yes of course animal foods are good for your teeth). I don't think you're aware of your inconsistent opening sentence. Do more research. You'll be surprised. Or don't and be happy with your veg.
I’m not sure not sure how many dentists actual want to see healthy mouths... the incentive to make money may override the healthcare/education aspect. Her point on fluoride was very interesting too. Lovely lady, great talk
Maybe true. But why are teeth decaying and rotting in the first place? Do you think dentists are creating those problems? Look at the bigger picture.
@@AbsoluteXero sugar
@@AbsoluteXero Sure, sugar is a horrendous destroyer of teeth. However, we seem to have a crop of dentists who are drilling into healthy teeth. Individuals need to do their part, and dentists need to be honest brokers. Sugar is in almost EVERYTHING. Starches turn into sugar. If one never ate again, bacteria will continue to cause decay. Other illnesses, dry mouth, and medicines affect teeth as well.
Dentist want to prevent decay, how many people actually take regular visit to dentist seriously ? Not unless they are in pain.
@@gingerp6631 That actually isn't true. Patients who are intubated and have food completely bypass the mouth will not develop decay on their teeth, just tartar.

What an enlightening talk. Thankyou for sharing this information. Just brilliant.
*I am number 2000th commenter. I will continue your words to save a life. Thanks for sharing* !
When my siblings and I were young at school,we went to school dentist,all of us had lots of fillings,we were quite poor and had hardly any sweets and no fizzy pop so when I had my children they weren't going to a school dentist,they went to mine,never had any fillings or teeth out,dentist was always pleased with them,they are now 45 and 48 and haven't got fillings and haven't had teeth out! My take on this has always been that it was in the school dentists favour to either fill kids teeth with fillings or extract them ☹
Barbie: We had a local dentist who donated a tooth brush and a small tube of tooth paste either fir the grade I was in or for all the children in the school. As I recall, it was just for the 3 or 4 classrooms of 4th graders.
Another dentist donated ballet lesson fees to older students who passed an audition.
Shady dentists indeed... they got paid for every hole they drilled into a kid's teeth, and most people don't know whether it was needed or not. It was probably not needed. I have seen this also in other countries where they had school dentist visits every year. Medical criminals!
I was abused by a denist at age 6, refused to go back until 13(with a cavity that needed a root canal). Now at 34, What I learned was typical people are not trained to read X-rays so they dentist can say you have however many micro cavities and pretend they need to charge you for 10 fillings of “something” you can’t even see.
Thank you -- you have truly made me look at both teeth and sugar differently.
What a legend, truly inspirational. I’ve been chasing a “Hollywood” smile for as long as I remember. I’ve had braces for five years and I’m still not satisfied with my smile, so I’m looking to veneers to “perfect” them. Quick warning, those influencer “veneers” with aggressive filing to where the whole mouth is just full of canines, if you’re lost, search it up, those procedures are not of veneers, those are crowns, popularity sky rocketed, largely due to influencer marketing. They’re also considerably cheaper, that’s their USP, but what’s the need for all that filing? Isn’t it cheaper or less hassle for orthodontists to just do the appropriate amount of filing? There’s something deceitfully bad about this practice as well, one being that maintaining those “veneers” is another entirely too costly, life long endeavour with the added benefit of having lost most of your original teeth to that dreadful filing. Many folks who do this are also young, furthering maintenance costs. Will we have the same practitioners advertising reasonably priced aftercare solutions as these “veneers” begin to deteriorate due to wear and tear?
Given all this , I’ve always wanted to keep my own teeth; use not so invasive procedures to the aforementioned. That being said, my own teeth aren’t the worse, I rarely need fillings and can only remember one instance of teeth related pains. I would also like to add my sugar consumption is most likely average to maybe high. I don’t do sodas, I eat quite a bit of cereal and an avid coffee drinker, with sugar of course. Let me take a moment, to just shame myself a little bit, I’m from the so called “birthplace of coffee” and struggle to drink it without sugar.
As it stands, my braces came off early 2021. I’ve had time to get used to my new smile and sadly I’m still not happy with it. My top teeth, two front ones in particular I’m not a fan of. So I am planning to get more cosmetic orthodontist work in pursuit of this dream smile of mine, I know that is most likely a desire fuelled by an amalgamation of every celebrity/influencer’s well crafted image & highly marketable aesthetics I’ve been sold my entire life. This is coupled with a need to conform to what’s desirable. I want my teeth to be healthy and look good, but I’m not sure if I can give up sugar. Honestly, it’s very sad, I’m willing to part ways with my hard earned cash to achieve a seemingly “good” smile but unable to do the cheaper, saner and far more beneficial act of proactively reducing sugar in my diet. This is insane, I take responsibility on my part, I’m no angel, I’d love to say from now on I’ll do better, but it’s gonna take a while.
Also, please remember that if you can go without braces, do so, the aftercare costs associated with maintenance is unreal. If you really want to do it and are in a position to do so, learn from whatever you can take from my experience. It’s taken me a while to be this honest with myself, take what you can apply to your circumstances and save towards real professional orthodontist work. Do not, I repeat Do Not use services like smile direct club, I’m not a dentist or an orthodontist, just a longterm and regular care receiver from each of these professions. Just look up negative coverage of these types of companies before doing anything, also get a consultation from a real professional, ask them if services like smile direct are suitable for you. I know that its in the financial interest of the professionals in the industry to recommend or refer patients to other professional practitioners. But, they’re also obligated to tell you the truth. Be frank with them about your finances or lack there of, if you think it’ll help. I feel that services like smile direct prey on peoples desire to also achieve this dream smile, same one I’ve been chasing, but quicker and cheaper. All that glitters is definitely not gold in this case, you may end up needing urgent dental care because of these smile direct club types, seriously, there’s a class action lawsuit filed against them. Well, this has been a very eventful rant, I’m not being paid to dunk on smile direct or anything. I am just tired of lies, it’s cheaper and healthier to eat less sugar, brush and floss, yet that feels like mopping the ocean, even to me. We’ll try. Good luck to you all.
Anyone ever suggest that you have major issues?
I'm saying this from a place of having had similar obsessions - you might find the money better invested in some therapy sessions with someone both kind and competent. That would have the added benefit of also helping you address the sugar addiction, leading to better health and more wellbeing. It's tough but worth it :)
I come from a country that had the worst dental health in the western world. This lady hits the nail on the head. Completely agree. NZ.
Parents don’t want to talk about the cause of tooth decay. It’s much easier to shovel addictive food down kids to keep them quiet than to look into a healthy diet and use discipline to control their child’s habits. The parents themselves are often also ingesting that horrible diet. How do I know? I worked in preventative health case for almost 30 years.
Many loving and well intentioned parents don’t know enough about health to make wise decisions about health. I once was invited to visit a pre-school program where the rate of tooth decay was very high. I arrived at nap time and was horrified to see that half of the children were sleeping with a bottle of milk. Their hard working parent had taken the time to pack that bottle in a lunchbox for their child. A gesture coming from pure love for their little one… causing more problems than good. I spent a little time to provide essential knowledge to the care givers and the parents. Now the kids go to bed without a bottle. Even better, they brush their teeth (under supervision) before going to bed for their nap. Breaking the cycle of tooth decay and poor oral health requires knowledge first.
true
Beverages are most devastating to tooth enamel. I watched a toddler who was constantly given orange juice in her bottle how her front teeth literally disolved. She was not able to speak correctly until her permanent teeth grew out, at 7 years of age. I decided my child will only have water, and no sugary food until she got two. I forgot that the formula contained sugar. Yet she did not have any decaying teeth, even if she eats sweet things a lot. The only thing she does not do: she does not drink any acidulated drinks - maybe occasionally, once in a while. Her teeth are still healthy. I am amazed that a dentist does not know that the phosphor and other stuff in the sodas would dissolve the tooth enamel.
Oh, dentist do know..but they want to pay back student loans and then esrn good money...
They know. They know.
Not to put down your choice to feed your child formula--we are practically railroaded into feeding it to our children--but the human body produces perfect food for babies, and no added sugar. It would be very interesting to look at the history of formula. I'm so tired of corporations playing fast and loose with our health so they can make a profit.
When I was a school girl, one of the "science experiments" was to place a loosened tooth into a glass of Coca-Cola. Classmates were surprised not to find it in the glass any longer.
That would amaze me that any dentist would not know that either. It’s something taught in the first month of US dental schools and I would assume that would be the case worldwide.
The last time I went to a dentist, I was told could not be seen as I didn't have permission from a physician. At the time I was pregnant and considered high risk(age). The OB told me it isn't their responsibility to approve a request for dental. I do not understand 😕 at all. Yet, they wonder why so many people reject the medical/dental community.
What you report here is concerning. When it comes to oral health, it is important that your oral health is good before you get pregnant. Once pregnant, maintaining good oral health is essential for you and your baby. Routine visits such as exams and cleaning should continue during the pregnancy. Small fillings and even simple extractions can safely be done. Best time for dental visits is during the middle and early third trimester during which you are usually beyond morning nausea and not yet so big to make the visit uncomfortable. If you need dental work during the third trimester, you shouldn’t lie flat on your back. You should have your right hip slightly elevated as to not put too much pressure (from the baby in your uterus) on your vena cava.
That makes no sense. I’ve asked my OB for approval notices for cleanings during both my pregnancies & received them no problem
It is called medical clearance. Other then regular cleaning clearance is requested from the OBGy for dental procedures. It consists of information by the OBGy about this particular case, is it safe to proceed and are there any restrictions and to be carefull about anything.
Usually it comes back saying it is all good, for pain go with Tylenol and not Ibuprofen ...
HEALTH IS A COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBLITY❤
It shouldn't be entirely up to consumers to avoid sugar in our food. The food manufacturers should take some responsibility and stop putting so much sugar in their products, maybe even offer an alternative such as xylitol, a safe natural sweetener that doesn't harm teeth.
Where have we heard that before? "A safe, natural that doesn't harm!"
Or just let the food taste the way it’s supposed to without all the added junk
@@kevinbartram5302 The alternative is to use sugar which is already proven to cause harm. Xylitol is the complete opposite. It's like comparing coal power with nuclear power.
Very informative talk , delivered in an extremely engaging way. Thank you!
Dr. Pariseau thank you for this excellent talk which was crafted so very well and delivered with such humour which made it so very easy to understand 👍🤗
Fantastic talk. One more reason on my list for having quit sugar, fruits, high carb foods, sugary drinks and treats.
The benefits of eating fruit far outweigh the negatives
@@jayreyndogz1791 Perhaps for some. However fruit for centuries has been engineered to be very sweet and have a lot more fructose than fruits of the past. So for me I am very careful what and how much I eat.
All the research I have done points to fructose and refined sugar/carbs as the primary cause of metabolic syndrome: High Insulin levels in the body, therefore Diabetes, High Blood-pressure, obesity and many negative and destructive pathologies that in the long run need be considered. Fruits for some, need be avoided, or, enjoyed occasionally.
@@fromthepeanutgallery1084 yes I think your talking about fruit juices not fruit
Both.(just added to my comments list) Most raw fruits are very high in fructose. (Dried and Juices more so) I eat very little and highly selected low G.I. fruits now. (Believe me I love fruit) however for me, lowering blood sugar by not eating fruit other sugars and carbs has helped me immensely.
@@jayreyndogz1791 not at all. Fruit is designed to fatten animals up for winter, not to be grazed on all year. Its a ton of fructose with a bow on top(vitamins) my bloodwork is great (including vitamin levels) when i stopped all fruit. Big mixed veggie salads, meat, butter, avacado oil, olive oil. Twice per day(sometimes just once) The perfect human diet.
Great talk, thankyou for sharing such an important message. Unfortunately it's not just white sugar that is the culprit, for fruits are also high sugar and carbohydrates turn to sugar in the body. A diet high in fruits and carbohydrates also damage the teeth. Because we are now able to eat unseasonal fruits all year round we eat fruit in excess which is doing the damage. Long ago eating fruit was a treat, not because it was unaffordable but because it was only available for a short season. Fruit today is also alot sweeter due to modification. It turns out that the best foods for healthy teeth are protein and saturated fats. Makes you think, doesn't it.
Long ago, people would "can" fruit, such as peaches, pears, and apricots, in syrup which was almost 100% sugar, so that they could eat fruit throughout the year. Apples and plums (prunes) were often dried, which concentrates the natural sugars, as were grapes (raisins), figs, and dates. Berries, of course, have long been turned into jams or jellies. Eating large amounts of cane sugar is not really new. What is new is the ubiquity of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), which is the real culprit in declining oral health and increasing obesity. Curiously, I didn't hear her mention it.
This is what I was wondering. Does this include natural sugar (fruit, honey) or processed such as HFCS. Honey is a miracle food imo with a ton of healing properties, and I believe fruits have also been referred to as elixirs of health and long life. I incorporate them in my diet and hope the more natural source isn’t what she’s referring to but I can’t find a clear answer.
Fats- not so sure about the saturated part. unsat. is preferable for sure. Protein is over rated. More veggies, no sugar and no processed foods. I don't eat fruit to your point...sans some berries in season. no whole grains and no lectins.
I am an RN, done research in regards to Vitamin D3 and K2. My family now take5000 iu of D3 and 100mcg of K2, daily. DENTAL exam have improved 100 percent. We do not drink sodas or juices. Try to implement low carb diet....I am a carnivore, but the grandkids, not so much.
Removing 90% of carbs in my daily diet has changed my life!! Carnivore focused especially.
You are A REGISTERED NURSE- you are no AN REGISTERED NURSE. Sorry- poor grammar is one of my pet peeves. Yes, K2 is important w/D. Magnesium Glycinate before bed is also a winner.
So as a Carnivore, how do you get your fiber? How does your bloodwork look? Please don't lie just to try to be right. I eat some meat, but grass FINISHED is very expensive. RN's don't make that much- have some in the fam. I am a whole foods, no sugar type of person. No Whole Grains, No Dairy, No Fruit, etc.

My two questions remain:
1. So as a Carnivore, how do you get your fiber?
2. How does your bloodwork look?
I recently changed my health plan to one that has a good dental plan. My medical co-pays are a bit higher but it's a positive trade off. At 70 I'm in excellent health and I'm sure good routine dental care plays a big role in having good health. 🦷 That and a healthy diet. I know pple that take a bunch of meds and have doctor appointments at least once a week but never go to the dentist. Sad that they are so ill informed. 😤
Our dentist in the 1960s gave us lollipops as we were leaving, and said, " come back and see us again."
....and we did and did and did....at 71 it's a wonder I have some teeth left.
My recent new doctor heard my body issues, and when I asked him if I could be tested for internal parasites, he just wisely said...open your mouth wide for me, and looked in and declared..."Well looks like we need to start in there!" I was shocked, and yes my mouth is a cavern of mercury infused fillings...but it's extremely problematic to correct that, sadly.
Super webinar!!!
Would you believe me if I told you, ever since I've given up sugar, highly processed food, dairy and all carbohydrates with exception of minimal plant food, I have had absolutely no problems with my teeth?
Yes I would!

@@cleancarasmr83 look for low cariogenic foods
@@cleancarasmr83 Thank you for asking! My breakfast usually consists of a bowl of fresh fruits, anywhere from 3 to 5 different fruits, always including some small fruits such as cherries or grapes and some berries. The larger fruits are freshly cut into bite size just before serving. Then comes a boiled egg, some Red Mill Muesli with goat Kefir. My hot beverage of choice is Crio Brü Brewed Cacao. For lunch I have fresh raw veggies, at least 3 different ones, hummus, some cheese and crackers and some fermented veggie such as kimchi or sauerkraut. I select my crackers very carefully, making sure that there is no sugar at all in the list of ingredients. I also like the list of ingredients to be very short. My favorite crackers's list of ingredients only has 3 ingredients. My beverage. of choice for lunch is water. I like to have a cup of coffee with cream at the end of that meal. For dinner, I make a large salad from up to 7 different raw veggies tossed in a vinaigrette I make fresh from olive oil (organic, cold pressed), balsamic vinegar, salt, fresh basil, garlic and honey. With the salad, I will have either some wild caught fish sautéed in butter, or some grilled meat, locally sourced, organic, pasture raised, and some roasted sweet potatoes or squash or another type of vegetable or root also roasted. My beverage of choice for dinner is wine. I also eat nuts raw or roasted but not salted. For a sweet treat, I will have some dried fruits, non-sulfured, no sugar added. I seldom snack between meals. I do indulge in desserts every now and again, when we have guests or for a special occasion. I have a weakness for ice cream. On an average day, my caloric intake from sugar represents less than 5% of my total caloric intake.
what a Talk, as a dentist, i've learned a lot from this talk❤
This video is so underrated
Great presentation. Beautiful lady with polished public speaking skills.
Dentist never mention added sugar as a danger to oral health. I have taken my daughter to dentist since 6 months they have never mentioned no added sugar before the age of 2. In fact at the hospital, they asked me permission to give to the new born, sugar water as a way to tame for a. Ear exam.
Ana, I’m not sure where you live, but but in the US , every dentist that I know, mentions sugar in diet and oral hygiene when it comes to discussing oral health with patients. As for giving your child something sweet for a one time exam, it will have no deleterious effect on your child’s teeth. I wouldn’t encourage it, but if it helps your child get through the exam with minimal trauma, then it’s not the end of the world. It certainly beats sedating your child.
@@toothrestorer6588 I guess we are both wrong. Me for writting never and Tooth Restorer for stating "every" From Google: The problem with absolutes is that they are almost always impossible to prove. All that is needed to overthrow an absolute is a single exception. Acceptable absolutes are found in scientific papers because what’s in them is understood to be true “so far” and in faith-based discussion (e.g., We’re all God’s children.) because, well, it’s faith, and thus doesn’t require proof.
@@AnaPaula-nh6hb I’m sorry, I meant to say every dentist that I know. not every dentist in the US
Wonderful presentation. Wow. She's very smart....
As a nurse I can’t count the number of times I was frustrated about the dental divide when my cardiology patients had SBE from horrible dental disease. 🤷🏼♀️
Yes! The connection between mouth and heart is undeniable. I would imagine that as a nurse you have also witnessed the connection between mouth and lungs too. When we will finally connect mouth to body and teeth to health we will save lives.
Well I learned that first hand. At the age of 45 I started having , teeth problems, and I had vivid dreams that my teeth were falling out. Eventually they actually did and I had dentures by the time I was 59. At 60 Diabetes , Dx of mitral valve problems, frequent PVC, AGE 73 Aortic Valve surgery, Congestive Heart Failure,
AFIB, Heart Block, pacemaker. I avoided the Dentist my whole life. Partly bec I hated going, but mostly bev of NO INSURSNCE. IVE ALWAYS BEEN AMAZED THST INSURSNCE COMPANIES TREATED TEETH AS IF THEY WER NOT A PART OF THE BODY AT ALL.
Diabetic patient also
@@marieharris1230 kinda of the same way society treats dentists as if they're not real doctors
About 30 years ago, my sister had heart problems that brought her to the emergency department. I remember the cardiologist asking her if she’d had any recent dental problems. I thought it a strange line of questioning ,but the doctor explained that there is a direct correlation between dental and cardiac health.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that these things have been known for along time, but there seems to be a lack of communication ,co-operation , and co- ordination among health care professionals.
I loved going to the dentist from about 11. I loved the good feeling of pretty teeth. Clean teeth. I ❣️good teeth on others too.
Everything in moderation. Fluoride has its side effects as well, including white streaks and staining. My bet is that the industry will eventually realize the vast negative affects of fluoride. I agree with reducing sugar in diets. That’s a no brainer.
wow, this Lady is the real thing! oh how I wish my dentist as a child would have done an intervention around food before drilling and filling.. something to offer future generations
My childhood dentist in 50s ruined our teeth. Filled them and filled them.
I would love to see more studies and research about the calcification of the pineal gland caused by the excess of Fluoride in our diet and the dangers of it...
Great comment. This issue needs clarification for sure. The pineal gland may be the most fluoride saturated organ in the body due to its high vascularisation and it’s location outside the blood-brain barrier. It is known that pineal gland calcification is common in older adults and in certain pathologies. It has the highest calcification rate of all organs and tissues in the body. We need more studies to confirm the theories linking fluoride to accelerated calcification of the pineal gland. Thank you for your comment.
