Whoa, that sounds rough! Definitely a reminder to take care of those pearly whites. Thanks for the tip about the Waterpik; I recommend them to my patients they really are fantastic.

Thanks for sharing the ingredients! It looks like a solid blend for supporting oral health. This contains everything you need if your gums are already relatively healthy. If gums are inflamed or being treated for periodontal disease around 3g of vitamin C a day is required during the healing phase.

@@EvolveDentalHealing that’s great info - thanks for replying

@@EvolveDentalHealing is it definitely 3grams? That sounds like a huge amount?

yes 3grams

yes composite resins or porcelain

@@EvolveDentalHealing thank you very much...greatly appreciated

I’ll disagree politely with you on this one as I have seen and treated the damage from acv directly

@ not correctly used though for the “health benefits” ? Don’t understand why you start with you will “disagree politely” ?? Be rude as hell if that was your inclination. It certainly wasn’t mine.

You're welcome! ☺️

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I appreciate your kind words, and I'm really glad the video resonated with you. Your journey to a brighter smile is inspiring!

Yes, an electric toothbrush can be very effective for maintaining gum health! It provides consistent brushing and can help remove plaque more efficiently.

@@EvolveDentalHealing right on! I'll be sure to use one.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Hydroxyapatite and xylitol are a great combo for managing sensitivity.

if there is decay then it will need treatment. if it is from abrasion, erosion or recession and there is no decay or crack then yes sensitivity can be addressed without a filling in some cases.

Dr Rachel has a great video called cure a cavity at home that might help

Thank you for reaching out! I totally understand how uncomfortable tooth sensitivity can be. I hope the remedies in the video help you find some relief!

Yes, xylitol can be beneficial for gum health! It helps to reduce harmful bacteria and may support overall gum health, potentially helping with recession.

LOL, right?! Who knew xylitol could be such a game-changer? Glad you’re loving it! Keep that smile shining!

Man, that sounds like a rough ride! But hey, glad you’re happy with your dentures now. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best, right?

I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Your question about magnesium chloride is interesting, and I appreciate you bringing it up. I would not personally advocate it for these reasons: Acidity: Magnesium chloride solutions can be slightly acidic. While the acidity may be minimal, frequent exposure could contribute to enamel erosion over time. Abrasiveness: Magnesium chloride can have a slightly abrasive effect on tooth enamel which can wear it thin.

@EvolveDentalHealing Hi, thank you for the reply,I went through a phase last year of using magnesium oil to brush my teeth regularly and started noticing bigger gaps between my teeth although I also drank lots of soda/ sparkling water so not sure if one or both is to blame. One more query, I've started brushing regularly with just hot water using an electric toothbrush thoroughly, am I missing out by not using toothpaste?

@@19rocknrollcircus68 brushing with just hot water and an electric toothbrush can remove some food particles and debris, it won't provide the same level of protection and benefits as brushing with toothpaste. Toothpastes are mildly abrasive so they break down the plaque and biofilm more effectively than just your toothbrush. Also, toothpastes contain minerals that strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities. So if you are not using toothpaste you need a mineral rich diet to ensure you are getting adequate minerals in your saliva to help remineralise your teeth

That’s great to know! Dr. Ellie Philips is a fantastic resource for mouth care, and Xylitol has so many benefits. Thanks for sharing!

A mercury detox protocol generally involves a combination of dietary adjustments, supplements, and sometimes specific chelation therapies aimed at reducing the body’s mercury load. Mercury is a heavy metal that can accumulate in the body, particularly from sources like fish, dental fillings (amalgams), and environmental exposure. It's essential to approach a detox carefully, as improper methods can sometimes cause harmful side effects. Here’s a broad outline of a typical mercury detox protocol, but please note, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting, especially if you're dealing with significant mercury exposure. 1. Identify the Source of Mercury Exposure Dental Amalgams: If you have mercury-based fillings, it might be advisable to work with a dentist who specializes in safely removing them. Fish and Seafood: Certain types of fish (like shark, swordfish, and king mackerel) contain higher levels of mercury. Reducing intake of these fish can help reduce exposure. 2. Dietary Changes Increase Antioxidant-Rich Foods: Fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins C and E, selenium, and glutathione can support detoxification. Foods like berries, leafy greens, nuts, and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale) are great. High-Fiber Foods: Fiber helps bind to toxins in the digestive system, assisting in their elimination. Whole grains, legumes, and vegetables are good sources. Hydration: Drink plenty of water, and consider adding lemon or cucumber for extra detox support. Chlorella and Spirulina: These green algae are often used for heavy metal detoxification as they help to bind to mercury and support its excretion. 3. Supplements and Natural Detox Aids Vitamin C: Helps to neutralize mercury and other toxins in the body. Selenium: Protects cells from oxidative stress and supports mercury detoxification. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): A potent antioxidant that can support the detox process, particularly in the liver. N-acetylcysteine (NAC): Supports the production of glutathione, a critical molecule for detoxification and protecting against mercury toxicity. Cilantro: Known for its potential to mobilize mercury and other heavy metals from tissues, but it’s often recommended to combine it with chlorella for safer detox. Activated Charcoal: Can help absorb toxins in the gut and reduce their reabsorption, although this should be used cautiously and not at the same time as other supplements. 4. Chelation Therapy Chelating Agents: Certain substances (like DMSA, DMPS, EDTA, or oral chelation supplements) can help bind to mercury and remove it from the body. These treatments should only be done under medical supervision, as they can cause heavy metals to be released into the bloodstream, which could cause a temporary increase in symptoms. 5. Supportive Therapies Sauna and Sweating: Sweating helps the body excrete toxins through the skin. Regular sauna sessions (especially infrared) can support this process. Liver Support: Milk thistle, dandelion root, and other liver-supporting herbs can assist with detoxification pathways. 6. Lifestyle Adjustments Reduce Stress: Chronic stress can impair detoxification, so stress management techniques (meditation, yoga, deep breathing) can support the process. Sleep: Ensure you're getting enough sleep, as the body performs a lot of detoxification while resting. 7. Regular Monitoring Blood Tests: To gauge the level of mercury in your system, you may want to get tested before and after a detox protocol, especially if you're working with a healthcare provider. Caution: Releasing Mercury Too Quickly: If you detox too quickly, you may experience symptoms like headaches, fatigue, brain fog, or even worsen toxicity as mercury is mobilized before it’s fully eliminated. It’s important to detox gradually and monitor your body's response. Consult a Professional: Always work with a doctor, especially if you're dealing with high mercury levels. They may recommend a more personalized approach or run specific tests (like urine or hair analysis).

Glad it was helpful!

Maltodextrin has a high glycemic index (GI) value, which means it can cause a spike in your blood sugar. It's safe to consume in very small amounts. The amount in the toothpaste is very small and it does not cause the bacteria in your mouth to produce acid the way other sugars can. Maltodextrin in toothpaste is generally considered safe for most people. Here's why: Minimal Amount: The amount of maltodextrin in toothpaste is typically very small and not intended to be ingested. Purpose: It's used as a thickening agent or to help other ingredients bind together. Not a Primary Concern: The primary concerns about maltodextrin relate to its potential impact on blood sugar levels when consumed in significant amounts, which is not a concern with toothpaste.

@ thanks so much appreciate the time taken to fully explain. This has put my mind at rest.

Chewing sugar-free gum can be a great way to stimulate saliva production, which helps protect against gum disease. However, if you’re experiencing gum recession, it’s best to consult with a dental professional to understand the underlying causes.

we use admira fusion by VOCO

@ are you not worried about the barium aluminium borosilicate that’s in them ??

Unfortunately as of yet, we do not have the perfect filling material that is totally free of anything that may be considered potential non-biocompatible and as such we seek to use the best we can. Ideally, I'd use ceramic for every restoration but that is not practical given its cost, number of visits required and need for removal of additional tooth structure than when doing a filling. The BAS is in trace amounts and considered stable due to its compounding. Without it, the fillings do not show on x-rays and it is impossible to differentiate and diagnose decay.

Totally appreciate your honesty. Has there been any test studies to say they are safe . Also these are combined with nano hybrid technology and nano can manipulate atoms and molecules at nanoscale. The development of hybrid ceramic nanocomposites is in its early stage so who’s to say in another 10 years these may leach these metals into the brain. Nano particles can deliver drugs across the blood brain barrier so who’s to say these compounds won’t cross the blood brain barrier?

@ nano technology combined with barium aluminium borosilicate who is to say these will not cross the blood brain barrier. Also this technology is relatively new: Do you have any research to suggest these are safe? nanoparticles can assist to deliver drugs across the blood brain barrier. manipulating atoms and molecules at nanoscale. So nano technology may release these chemicals in the brain 🧠 and interestingly scientists have developed a new way to control the minds of mice by manipulating nanoparticle-activated "switches" inside their brains with an external magnetic field. Nano-MIND enables wireless and remote control of specific brain regions to modulate complex brain functions such as emotions, social behaviours, and motivation in animals. The team’s results have been detailed in Nature Nanotechnology. So we have to extremely careful what we place into our mouth.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that coconut oil pulling and xylitol have been beneficial for you. Oral health can be such a journey, and finding what works for you is key! But what you share about flossing is not correct. When your gums bleed you need to clean them better by brushing them and using floss or proxy brushes between the teeth to remove plaque and food and stimulate the gums to heal. If bleeding persists then you need a dental assessment and professional care.

No a dental clean does not remove enamel it removes plaque and tartar. Stains that we clean away adhere to a protein and biofilm matrix and it is this that we polish off the teeth

@@EvolveDentalHealing Thank you! ❤️

No should I?

@ lol 😂 this lady also offers holistic treatment and a woman in her practice having IV vitamin who is looks like you 😁

I have a double 😆

@@EvolveDentalHealing doppelgänger in 🇬🇧 UK 🤣

I totally understand! It can be overwhelming with all the information out there. I'm glad I could help clarify things for you!

I really appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to me!

Good point! A little abrasion can help, but xylitol definitely brings its A-game. Mixing charcoal and coconut oil? Charcoal can be too abrasive - check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qV6ximVqo7R6g6csi=epK9Fiz5tVvoAQV7

Baking soda can be safe for occasional use as it helps remove stains, but be sure to use it in moderation to avoid damaging your enamel!

@@EvolveDentalHealing 💯 you're the one i really trust! thank u for all, from Belgium

Gum disease can accelerate quickly especially if there have been changes in your lifestyle stress levels sleep patterns or hormones for example menopause or it may be that the dentist has noticed some early changes and has not really commented on them because they didn’t think they were that significant and now you’ve hit a point that they are and at least they are jumping in and wanting to help you, but yes, it is a big shock when it comes out of the blue like that

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s important to discuss these risks, and I hope you find effective ways to address the issues you're facing with your gums.

@evolvedentalhealing I wish there were more dentists like you. Thank you for your channel

Thank you too!

I appreciate that!

I'm going to give you the short answer which is you should get them replaced if they are failing; And now the reasons why: You need to replace a failing filling because: Further Tooth Decay: When a filling fails, it creates an opening where bacteria can enter and cause further decay beneath the filling. This can lead to larger cavities, more extensive damage, and potentially even tooth loss. Infection: If the decay reaches the nerve of the tooth, it can cause an infection (abscess). This can lead to severe pain, swelling, and even the need for a root canal. Sensitivity: Failing fillings can leave the underlying tooth exposed, making it sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks. Discomfort: A failing filling can cause pain or discomfort when biting down or chewing. Cosmetic Issues: Failing fillings may become discoloured, chipped, or cracked, affecting the appearance of your smile. Early detection and replacement of failing fillings are crucial for maintaining good oral health and preventing more serious problems. Signs that your filling may be failing: Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks Pain when biting down Visible cracks or chips in the filling Discoloyration around the filling Food getting stuck around the filling A gap that the dentist can probe or see where the filling no longer seals the cavity

thanks for sharing, so sorry that your teeth got damaged

Haha, right? Imagine a world where our teeth just crumbled away like bad chalk art! Let’s keep our smiles intact with a bit more than just calcium!

Haha, I promise we focus more on your mouth than the drain! But seriously, your health is our top priority while we handle those pesky fillings and that's why we follow SMART protocol which I cover at length in other videos
