sonic tooth brushes for me were a GAME CHANGER. i can brush with a tooth brush and still scrape off plaque with my finger name. sonic is BEST. and its not expensive anymore
Personally, I water floss and then brush using a Sonicare brush with a model that has 62000 brush strokes per minute. I use nano hyroxyapitite in a toothpaste that uses nanoXIM from Fluidnova which is SCCS-approved for consumer safety. After meals I'll rinse with water and use xylitol mints or gum to control plaque causing bacteria. Preferably I use gum so that I can chew and produce saliva which from my understanding would help calcify teeth. I use a toothpaste that has ingredients that are meant to support a healthy microbiome rather than indiscriminate antibacterials. I also use a tongue scraper. I combined this with eating a diet that has no added sugar. All working well.
Can you please comment on hydroxyapatite in toothpaste instead of fluoride? Is it as effective in remineralizing teeth and maintaining dental health? Also has tongue scraping been demonstrated to be effective in improving oral health? Thanks
"Based on the results, it can be concluded that all three dentifrices had the ability to reduce the progress of demineralization, while simultaneously enhancing remineralization process on artificial carious lesions. However, within the limitations of this in vitro study, it was seen that nanohydroxyapatite dentifrice produced better effects compared to fluoride- and NovaMin-containing dentifrices, and hence could be considered for use as a potential dentifrice in remineralization of early carious lesions." pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6749857/
Thanks for commenting. When I reviewed the research, I couldn't find any particularly good head to head trials of hydroxyapatite vs fluoride in humans. There's lab research, but I couldn't find any real-world research in the form of randomized, double-blind, trials. Tongue scraping is a good idea, and I should have mentioned that in the video
I personally floss using floss picks at night, brush twice daily, and my most important part is that I chew Zellie's Dental Gum. I've heard that since it's just pure xylitol gum, it suppress the growth of some types of streptococcus bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus pneumoniae. All in all, I haven't had any cavities at all, my mouth produces more saliva which I heard is a good thing, and it's seamless as a routine
This is so sciency and efficient I find it amusing and a little funny. It's great for me, I'm find it terribly boring to brush my teeth, well, no more! Thanks, Doc!
My dentist also told me drinking a lot of water can help. Not for hydration but just the act of drinking a liquid often, water being the best of course.
Just to be contrary, I've been using the Dr. Ellie Phillips complete mouth care system for the past year or so, which recommends against flossing or hygienists treatments in favour of using a specific set of mouthwash, toothpaste and toothbrush products. I'd say my teeth and gums have never been better - for context I'm over 60. Which is not to say the method presented in this video is wrong, just that perhaps there's more than one way to achieve good dental hygiene. Both methods agree xylitol is a good thing though.
Same here! I’m at 10 months now and I have no more plaque and white teeth :)) - I used to floss and do all what he said and didn’t work. Dentist will be quick to drill in yo ur mouth even if the cavity is young and not even in the dentyne yet. The dr Ellie’s protocol makes sure the new cavity doesn’t go that far so you don’t need drilling and fillings. It’s all about money with the dentists. I’ve refused fillings and after 7 months on the dr Ellie’s protocol my cavities where gone! They didn’t have anything to say. They know what their doing is wtong
I started on it but then realized that the Listerine alcohol mouthwash she recommends is not recommended for a number of reasons but may be linked to oral cancer per the scientific literature. I still use her xylitol mints but have gone back to a regular routine and have noticed no difference
@@michaelcline7458 I'm not too concerned about that - I know what you mean, e.g. this article: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6982979/, however with Dr. Ellie's system the Listerine is followed by an alcohol-free mouthwash which I imagine would flush it out. In any case, I gather it's *drinking* alcohol that is the real risk!
I’ve been wondering recently whether my dental floss could be toxic and out of the blue here comes Dr Stanfield to the rescue. This is the best health channel on UA-cam by a mile.
I have heard that You should wait at least 30 minutes after eating before brushing your teeth. This gives your saliva time to wash away acids and remineralize your tooth enamel. Why wait? Brushing too soon after eating can remove the enamel from your teeth. Acids from food and drinks can soften tooth enamel. Saliva contains minerals like calcium, phosphate, and fluoride that help remineralize tooth enamel. While I wait, I chew xylitol gum sometimes I wonder if a water pic would be OK to use as well.
I do the same. But if pressed for time, and every time I brush, I put the toothpaste in my mouth first and work it around to let the fluoride start to work before I brush.
@@DeanguilberryI have heard from recent studies (sorry, I don't have a link) that leaving toothpaste in your mouth and not rinsing is now recommended (to allow fluoride to be delivered to enamel). Or perhaps more accurately, spit out but don't rinse.
I have an Oclean X Ultra S sonic toothbrush which literally "blasts"small particles from between my teeth. It even removes the "paper thin shell from beer nuts which lodges between your teeth and gums! Its been for better than flossing with tape or a waterpik. I use Biomin F (a calcium silicofluorophosphate) or BioRepair (contains Zinc hydroxyapatite) for remineralisation and a normal WhiteGlo daily(which has bromelain to help break down the plaque). I spit out the excess (not rinsing for 30 mins) to allow the remineralistion to take place. I use a Xylitol mouthwash (generic) and late at night ( after not eating for at least 2 hours) use Oral 7 mouthwash which contains enzymes to breakdown sugars and bind iron (lactoferrin) to minimise unnatural bacteria to proliferate. My teeth which were bad are now in excellent condition. Literally no plaque after 12 months.
When you use a toothbrush and particularly vibrating head toothbrushes it is very important that you use a very soft pressure because otw it won't clean well. This is particularly the case if you use lighter (cheaper) vibrating toothbrushes in the 10-20 USD price range.
No need for fluoride, hydroxyapatite is a better alternative. Waterflossers are unecessary and expensive, just use regular floss. Ekectric toothbrushes can wear out your teeth so I mostly manually brush my teeth and only use the motor when needed and very little pressure. Xylitol gum is great after meals (do not swallow, but swirl your saliva around everywhere and then spit it out together with the gum), but erythritol puling is even better, use a teaspoon of erythritol and swirl it around in your mouth for 10 minutes before spitting it out in the sink. Use a metal straw (stainless steel or titanium) when you drink coffe, tea or acidic drinks and avoid sugar. I went to the dentist last year for the first time in 10 years, and got no complaints about my teeth.
I get bloating from xylitol, but I am fine when I use it as a mouthwash. I will spit it out and ingest only small quantities. I think xylitol is really effective and should not be skipped .
What are your feelings about the new wave of thought from some dental schools of thought about lowering nitric oxide levels by killing oral bacteria? Thanks!
Well done Dr. Thanks for the advise. I might add, poor dental hygiene is also bad for the. Brain. Also, in my opinion, Floride is dandy topically, for your teeth, but I would never knowingly drink it.
You missed tongue scraping to remove massive amounts of bacteria from the oral cavity. For hard tartar a s/s tooth pick for use at home is also a great option if you dont enjoy flossing. A low sugar diet is also important.
Go carnivore, and your teeth with be pristine within a few weeks, you wont even need to brush anymore. It's actually insane. I also found my teeth looked whiter ?
@ humans evolved for millions of years to eat meat. Farming is a very new invention. There are many people that have been doing carnivore for decades and they are very healthy.
Not A Good Idea, Fluoride is a known Neuro-Toxin, easily absorbedinto the body via the mouth; chew a quarter t-spoonful of Xylitol instead, as described in the video; chew for a few minutes, swill around the mouth and then spit it all out, cleared up my gum inflammation/gingivitis within 2 weeks ............
Mouthwash is not selective enough - our mouths are a diverse ecosystem of bacteria, some of it good and some of it bad. You do NOT want to nuke all the bacteria in your mouth, or anywhere in your body.
Fluoride IN my toothpaste (and ON my Teeth)... YES...! Fluoride IN my drinking water (and IN my body & thyroid Glands)... Oh - HELL - NO...!!! -70SomethingGuy
that's great and all but layman probably won't be doing all these 5 steps, you'll be lucky to see them vrush teeth for longer than 20 seconds do you think there's an easier way?
Hi 〰️💙〰️ Thank you for alerting this, I came to understand awhile ago, it is linked to heart issues, and if heart issues leads to all errors. 〰️💙〰️ 🕊️〰️✨
Thanks for the great video doctor. I do everything that you recommend in a little bit more. Russian several times a day also seems to help they say. Just start seeing a periodontistt a couple years ago and my gums were in pretty good shape but I've got a lot of problematic teeth.
Didn't hear anything about magnesium. I've got in my notes that Vitamin D absorption/use requires Magnesium. Additionally, Vitamin D uses up Magnesium.
Never flossed in my 40+ years of life, 0 cavities and perfect, white teeth (according to my dentists). I brush for about 45 seconds (no patience) and visit the dentist once every 5 years. Go figure.
You're lucky, you must have naturally strong enamel and no bacterial infection. I was born with very weak genetics for teeth, as a child had almost non existent enamel and my whole family suffers from heavy strep mutans load. (Caries bacteria) I don't eat sweets or drink soda. Go figure.
Mouth breathing is also bad on the teeth. If youre a mouth breather then train yourself to breathe through your nose and consider mouth taping at night.
Right! I practice mewing before bed time and I soemtimes wake up and find my mouth closed but my teeth separated as if my thong wasn’t sucked on the roof of my mouth I’d hve a wide open mouth haha. Mewing is easy and free
I make my own NATTO and how noticed that the tartar in me teeth has been reduced significantly, since I started eating it. I think it is because of the vitamin K2 in NATTO
They take off layers of plaque that you can't get off from brushing, if you don't see a dentist for cleaning, this will build up and it's really bad. Also when they clean, they x-ray, helping prevent further issues.I think it's pretty obvious that the dentist doing maintenance for our teeth is beneficial every 6 months helps a lot (because we can't even clean it the way they can).
For flossing I like to use Dr. Ginger's coconut oil and xylitol floss. I like that it has xylitol in it and also like that it uses coconut oil instead of industrial wax as the lubricant.
Great video Brad! Excellent life changing info. for majority of people who are not so familiar with this important topic. Would be good to know who funded the electric toothbrush vs manual studies...great if no conflicts of interest. Oral health is also linked to dementia..maybe a video on that soon?
Wax floss is stupid. It just slides over the plaque. The only thing wax floss does it remove big chunks of food. Dr Tung's floss is the best. Study shows it remove more plaque. It's not waxed, is not slippery, has more friction and still gets between teeth easily. It's what Brian Johnson uses. I switched to it. It's great floss.
I absolutely LOVE my Laifen toothbrush. Vibrating toothbrushes are NOT all the same. Sonic level vibrations have shown to be much more effective. Sonicare is fine, but the Laifen toothbrushes also perform the recommended up and down brushing motion for you! I'm also surprised you didn't recommend toothpaste with sodium bicarbonate (Baking soda!) You noted that cavities are formed by the acids and enzymes produced by the bacteria in our mouth, well, baking soda neutralizes these!
If you want to learn on how to fix your gums and teeth go to Dr Ellie Phillips, she is a dentist. She has YT videos and books. A medical doctor knows nothing about teeth, they get no training in it. It would be like going to a Dentist with a broken leg.
Electric toothbrushes are plastic, which is not only bad for the environment, but it's also bad for your health since you are using plastic to clean your teeth. Manual toothbrushes made of bamboo and boar's hair exist.
Hello, Dr. Brad. Thank you for your videos. Could you please tell me, do you think it is dangerous to use tretinoin/adapalene in the area around the eyes? Could it damage the meibomian glands and cause dry eyes?
I just went to the dentist yesterday for a cleaning. Bad plaque on lower front like always, never had a cavity at almost 32 years old. Been off fluoride for at least 6 years.
The #1 remedy for dental plaque is high dose vitamin K2 MK-4 supplementation, it dissolves existing dental calculus and prevents new one from forming. I used to get my teeth cleaned every three months and always had new tartar. After I started taking K2 MK-4, it never came back.
Whole plant diet, well planned, no need to even floss because I eat what humans are supposed to eat; fiber and no processed sugars.. Dentist is shocked how healthy my teeth and gums are whenever I go which is about every 3 years.
Your diet has nothing to do with it. Healthy teeth is a genetic thing. Many people eat whatever they want don’t brush their teeth or forget to do it and their teeth are in perfect condition
@@Fearzero 1. Science can prove nothing, it can only disprove something. 2. The current nutrition "science" is a joke. Full of religion, bias, data manipulation, data misinterpretation, laziness or even lies. This is why it is so contradictory.
look your eyes are always red and I think theres some issue with your health prob some of the vitamins you take also I took the L-threanin magnesium and it caused me serious problems so I dont know if its doing it to you too but posibly
The water pick is not the best approach for many patients. You never mentioned interdental toothbrushes. Also there are MAJOR difference between oscillating-rotating toothbrushes and “sonic” toothbrushes. Well intentioned video but with many flaws. Please seek advice from a dentist.
I switched from fluoride toothpaste to a nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste, and my teeth (which I've always had problems with soft and sensitive teeth) are doing much better. Also, I stay away from sugar, carbs, and seed and grain oils (I have an autoimmune disease).
All grains are seeds. And why do you avoid these oils? There is no evidence of harm but there is evidence of harm from saturated and animal lipids that are often used as substitutes. And how do you get dietary fibre if you eat no carbohydrates?
Don't get my teeth cleaned very often because no matter where u go for a cleaning they always sdemand to ex ray even if u don't want cancer causing gamma rays, it's all about the money. I have been using Xylitol, flossing, and brushing for 8 years and almost no plaque .
Gamma rays are not used for X-ray examination - X rays are used (can you see how that works?). And if you don't want an X-ray you don't have to. And no, it's all about dental health, not the money. Galute.
Fluoride toothpaste is wonderful, based on the current clinical research, for reducing dental cavities. This is an entirely separate discussion to fluoride in drinking water and I explain this distinction in the video ✌️
Typical for somebody who is always doing what the main stream fake science. Want you to know. I always filter your information as you are. Super gullible.
Study after study has shown that people who have poor oral health (such as gum disease or tooth loss) have higher rates of cardiovascular problems.

@@Fomites Flossing, brushing, rinsing with water, and chewing Xylitol gum...what so complicated about this?

I think the common tooth pick is very valuable to remove food particles and stimulate and toughen the gumline!

I absolutely LOVE my Laifen toothbrush. Vibrating toothbrushes are NOT all the same. Sonic level vibrations have shown to be much more effective. Sonicare is fine, but the Laifen toothbrushes also perform the recommended up and down brushing motion for you!
I'm also surprised you didn't recommend toothpaste with sodium bicarbonate (Baking soda!) You noted that cavities are formed by the acids and enzymes produced by the bacteria in our mouth, well, baking soda neutralizes these!
waxed floss simply sucks lol, I'll take the miniscule of possible pfas.
oral-B glide pro-health dental floss?? The company site says it is waxed. But the web has posts saying glide has PFAS.
get silk floss
It's PFAS. Terrible for plaque removal but good for food removal
If you want to learn on how to fix your gums and teeth go to Dr Ellie Phillips, she is a dentist. She has YT videos and books.
A medical doctor knows nothing about teeth, they get no training in it. It would be like going to a Dentist with a broken leg.
Electric toothbrushes are plastic, which is not only bad for the environment, but it's also bad for your health since you are using plastic to clean your teeth. Manual toothbrushes made of bamboo and boar's hair exist.
What is the adverse personal health event from using nylon bristle brushes? I assume you don't ingest the nylon?
Good luck.
Hello, Dr. Brad. Thank you for your videos. Could you please tell me, do you think it is dangerous to use tretinoin/adapalene in the area around the eyes? Could it damage the meibomian glands and cause dry eyes?
I just got my teeth fixed after 50 years of nothing but pulling teeth and it cost 18k instead of a home I chose to fix my teeth
Wow!
I just went to the dentist yesterday for a cleaning. Bad plaque on lower front like always, never had a cavity at almost 32 years old. Been off fluoride for at least 6 years.
Why?
The #1 remedy for dental plaque is high dose vitamin K2 MK-4 supplementation, it dissolves existing dental calculus and prevents new one from forming. I used to get my teeth cleaned every three months and always had new tartar. After I started taking K2 MK-4, it never came back.
how much do you take ?
This is completely false
Oh wow. I didn't know. I've been slacking on my Vitamin D3/K2. I'll be sure to check if my supplement has the Mk-4 K2 in it. Thanks for this.
@@noJobProgrammer I take 1000mcg or so every other day. (Edit: typo)
@@DrBradStanfield You are welcome. I tried MK-7 in the past but I noticed some adverse effects which went away after I switched to MK-4.
The teeth and mouth close-up are disturbing. Good tips though, thanks!
Viewers tip: don't watch this whole eating 😂
Whole plant diet, well planned, no need to even floss because I eat what humans are supposed to eat; fiber and no processed sugars.. Dentist is shocked how healthy my teeth and gums are whenever I go which is about every 3 years.
Your diet has nothing to do with it. Healthy teeth is a genetic thing. Many people eat whatever they want don’t brush their teeth or forget to do it and their teeth are in perfect condition
Carnivores say the same thing.
@thriving_mjn The science proves them wrong.
@@Fearzero 1. Science can prove nothing, it can only disprove something. 2. The current nutrition "science" is a joke. Full of religion, bias, data manipulation, data misinterpretation, laziness or even lies. This is why it is so contradictory.
look your eyes are always red and I think theres some issue with your health prob some of the vitamins you take also I took the L-threanin magnesium and it caused me serious problems so I dont know if its doing it to you too but posibly
The water pick is not the best approach for many patients. You never mentioned interdental toothbrushes. Also there are MAJOR difference between oscillating-rotating toothbrushes and “sonic” toothbrushes. Well intentioned video but with many flaws. Please seek advice from a dentist.
Are you one?
@ yes.
Where did you get the sonic toothbrush reference from? It's not in the video as far as I recall.
Water pick is not recommended as a substitute for flossing. Perhaps you should view the video again.
Piksters before floss.
Toothpaste with XYLITOL can help rebuild teeth and rid plaque..Amazon of course has it,,,
I switched from fluoride toothpaste to a nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste, and my teeth (which I've always had problems with soft and sensitive teeth) are doing much better. Also, I stay away from sugar, carbs, and seed and grain oils (I have an autoimmune disease).
All grains are seeds. And why do you avoid these oils? There is no evidence of harm but there is evidence of harm from saturated and animal lipids that are often used as substitutes. And how do you get dietary fibre if you eat no carbohydrates?

Don't get my teeth cleaned very often because no matter where u go for a cleaning they always sdemand to ex ray even if u don't want cancer causing gamma rays, it's all about the money. I have been using Xylitol, flossing, and brushing for 8 years and almost no plaque .
Gamma rays are not used for X-ray examination - X rays are used (can you see how that works?). And if you don't want an X-ray you don't have to. And no, it's all about dental health, not the money. Galute.
My health goal of 2025 is to gradually implement all of Dr Stanfields recommendations!
If I may say so, your teaching seems to differ somewhat from that of Dr Ellie Philip….
Air flow cleaning with sodium bicarbonate is best. Twice a year.

Weston A Price a Leader in research showed that preventative measures based on nutrition are much more important than cleaning teeth

Good luck.
he pushin flouride
He's citing data based on scientific research.
@@WFPB_4_Life because scientists cant be bought off
Fluoride toothpaste is wonderful, based on the current clinical research, for reducing dental cavities. This is an entirely separate discussion to fluoride in drinking water and I explain this distinction in the video ✌️
Not everything is a conspiracy bro. Sometimes the truth is just boring
yes and?
Typical for somebody who is always doing what the main stream fake science. Want you to know. I always filter your information as you are. Super gullible.
Forgot to take your tablets today?? 😅
How would you in particular know it's fake? Did RFK Jr tell you?
Fluoride is a toxic substance , the main compound in prozac ; so I pass
No and no. For Christ's sake get an education.
