In this video, I’m going to tell you how to stop dental plaque formation in its tracks. Dental plaque is a biofilm of microbes. A biofilm is a calcium shell built to protect a group of microbes. Plaque is one of the primary causes of gingivitis, bad breath, and tooth decay. You can brush and floss regularly and still get plaque!
Your mouth contains the second-largest group of microbes in your body. The majority of these microbes are known as commensal, so they’re not necessarily friendly but also not unfriendly. If you kill them, you could end up with a candida infection or oral thrush.
Plaque develops when this friendly relationship turns into a pathogenic relationship. Dental plaque biofilms can develop under stress! Poor diet, sugar consumption, smoking, alcohol, and antibiotics can also contribute to dental plaque formation.
Certain chemicals can mimic antibiotics in the mouth. Ironically, chlorhexidine, the main chemical in mouthwash, mimics antibiotics in the mouth. It also increases acidity and the risk of tooth decay.
Fluoride is in the majority of toothpastes and our water supply. It’s been around for 60 years, but there have never been any randomized controlled trials on fluoride in our water.
Fluoride is not controlled by the FDA, CDC, EPA, or the American Dental Association-it's controlled by a private entity. It’s best to filter your water to remove fluoride.
You’ll want to get the good microbes back into your mouth to remove dental plaque. Consume probiotic-rich foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir.
If you chew gum, make sure to choose xylitol gum.

Dr Berg for the last three to four years my health has severely started deteriorating. More recently I’ve been experiencing significant low neck pain, upper back and shoulder pain.. joint pain, hip pain, internal aches and woke up every morning feeling like a dumpster fire. I saw your video about you getting an infected tooth removed and it cleared your pain and I thought i wonder if my dental care is contributing to this since NOTHING was helping. I didn’t have tooth pain. Got X-rays and sure enough I had an upper molar with a huge cyst in my sinus cavity. I had oral surgery Monday and literally my body feels 90% better! Your videos turn on light bulbs for us. I never would have correlate the two! Thank you

Three months ago I had a deep cleaning to remove a good layer of calculus on my teeth. After two weeks I went back to my hygienist and he said there’s already a buildup of calculus. I was mortified. I assured him I was doing everything he suggested I do. He had a puzzled look on his face. I had to do my own research and found couple options. I already live a very carnivorous life, I only eat meats, drink water and occasionally kimchi here and there. I got rid of my fluoride toothpaste, listerine mouthwash and got a different floss (non ribbon style) I have been using a toothpaste with nano-hydroxyapatite and made my own concoction of mouthwash using xylitol and three drops of food grade peppermint oil. After meals I chew xylitol gum, and holy moly, after four weeks, calculus no more. Also the sensitivities I had on several of my teeth, it’s no longer there. 😮

[@lindachallenger1554]

That is so good to know…I wondered if a carnivore diet alone would help the plaque! But not the case! So, from my understanding it was the fluoride. Thxs for sharing, greatly appreciate.👍

[@photomaker4502]

@@lindachallenger1554For me it was just a personal choice to stop incorporating fluoride in my daily routine. So I am now using toothpaste with Nano-hydroxyapatite which does a similar job as fluoride but in my opinion is safer. Was fluoride the sole factor for my calculus problem? No! That is not what I meant. My oral microbiom was out of whack and I believe xylitol is the reason my calculus has not returned.

[@adelarsen9776]

Sugars and carbs cause plaque. Clean carnivore diet.

[@J.o.e_K]

It's true. The only thing that works for me is brushing lightly 2-3 times a day and then the key here is to rinse with a little listerine or booze. Kidding about booze but I bet the alcohol would work too. (grin) Anyway, Listerine is probably terrible for your mouth but as an expert on plaque its the only thing that keeps it in check for me. ive been dealing with since adolescence. Tried it all even what berg mentioned. Tried full carni, you name it. Genetic. Dentist every 4 months and Listerine keep me plaque free. Maybe will help you if still an issue

[@eelcohoogendoorn8044]

It has to do a lot with mouth ph which varies from person to person; breathing habits, saliva composition, etc. And what bacteria live in your mouth as well im sure. One way in which fermented foods make a difference is that they are acidic; which is a great way to get rid of tartar. It dissolves it really fast; but not only your tartar of course. I started restricting my fermented food intake last year when I got very sensitive teeth due to thinning enamel. I was able to reverse that in a few months luckily; but sure enough my tartar buildup also went up. The dissolution vs precitipation of calcium in your mouth is a balance; and frankly id rather be a bit on the tartar-accumulating side of things. If you buy the right tools (soft metals, no hard steels) you can teach yourself to remove tartar safely, and its nothing too bothersome.

[@cardiac.vision]

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

Yes, you’re right, that which is dumped into our water supply and used in dentistry is sodium fluoride, a byproduct of aluminium product, however, it’s not being dumped in our water supply just by chance they know exactly what it does it lowers the IQ and it’s subdued the masses that used to use it against the Jews in Germany.

[@shamanthnarayan2701]

Follow oil pulling technique using coconut oil every morning before brushing your teeth. It's a wonder for your teeth and overall health.

Totalmente de acuerdo, si todos supieran de este maravilloso remedio muchos higienista quedarán sin trabajo. Doy fe de ello,he recuperado mis encías, mis dientes super limpios,la maravilla.

Does he have any videos up on what he uses to purify water. I get water from my refrigerator. It has a water filter, but I don’t think that’s enough. There’s so many options. I would like to know what Dr. Berg uses for his water purification.

[@billcrane2444]

Eric, do you have any thoughts on gargling with hydrogen peroxide and then brushing your teeth with baking soda? I've been doing this for decades and have never had plaque on my teeth.

Lived in the first city to 'ever' add fluoride to city water... Grand Rapids, MI. A real Dutchie CRC place... and next to the hamlet where CRC was founded. Talk of decay, tooth or otherwise. There was a big uproar by the people to no avail, tho but moments before my arrival on the scene. My Mother in Law of health nut quality, ran an health food store. Cursed the stuff till her passing... They forced this stuff down our gizzards my entire city life. Man being the toxic waste dump for profit... it is actually so potent. Those that dump bags into your drinking supply are chemical/bio-hazard protected to the max... just one inhalation of said magic elixir and you are no more in need of a dentist forever...

Since i started using Herbodent toothpaste i no longer have receding gums, tartar, or cavities. I also now rinse with colloidal silver. Will be 70 this year. I quit going to dentists a few years ago when the doc wanted to schedule me for a pinhole cavity starting. Fyi… i dont eat the sugar like i used to either which probably caused that cavity.

Can you please make a video dedicated to root canals and whether or not their okay to have? I’m only asking because the day I had my first root canal is the day I started experiencing major health issues and I’m unsure if it’s related or not.

[@grantlawrence4600]

They are absolutely related to further health problems. A lot of new evidence coming out to show the link. Mental problems, pain issues, and many more.

[@carolb6549]

Watch out as dentists do not consider root canals serious. They are. I had some problems with my teeth. Dentist recommended 3 root canals. Left office, researched. Studied when RC needed. Infection. Had none. Pain. Had none. Asked dentist what indicated infection, to show me on X-ray. There was none. What could he say? Visits later, he remarked, “well, since you don’t like root canals . . .” What does that mean? They are taught to push root canals, me thinks. I would pull tooth, probably consider the old method, bridge. Have to find dentist who still does that. But it worked for decades, didn’t it? Don’t think much of implants either.

[@stevee9973]

​@@carolb6549 I had two bridges put in, and in order for the bridge to fit, they grind down the teeth that the. bridge sits on, then you have to get root canals on the teeth that are little stubs close to the nerves. I had to get 3, and will need more most likely. Maybe better to pull teeth and get implants, or pull teeth and just eat baby food.

[@mohammedalgahim8003]

@@carolb6549 What’s wrong with implants? I have had two root canals separate from each other. My pain started the same day if not moment I had my first root canal. Since then I have had the first one extracted and the pain still exists. I thought since it started from that then that is what it must be. As of typing this message, I still have one root canal in my mouth that I’ve been holding off on extracting it because every place I’ve been to says it looks fine on their CT scans. I’ve been diagnosed with ATypical type 2 neuralgia and I’m not sure if it’s from the root canal or not. My endodontist once adjust one of my root canals and told me to wait and not bite on them for 10 days which is impossible. He told me that it was hitting against the nerve or I think the other tooth at the time like a hammer. I asked him if they can cause pain within the body and he said “ absolutely, the body is one long wire”. Fast forward years later and he say that it’s not and that he doesn’t remember me saying that. I only need the truth because every time I go somewhere or get an x-ray done, they note something small, then when I come back for a follow up, all of a sudden it’s gone. This has happened many times and due to that I suspect that they are hiding things from me and displacing blame saying it’s something else and that they’re not involved. Since having my first ever root canal, I have been experiencing chronic inflammation 24/7 and it feels like my organs are being stabbed by a thousand knives radiating throughout my body (all except my right leg for whatever reason) I had blood work done and my ENA screen came back detected. Also something about positive anti body. My doctor told me that my body is basically fighting itself which I had already known. The pain itself never changes, it’s always a 7/10 for me and what makes it worse how the pain is affecting me i.e. respiratory distress, digestive issues, unable to concentrate etc. I tried many medication, foods, remedies etc., none helped because something is causing my pain simultaneously. Only a local anesthetic to my left side of jaw reliefs the nerve which in turn relieved almost all my pain (my root canals where done on the bottom right molars). I thought adjusting the root canal tooth again would help because most often I bite and clench on the right side of my jaw as if I’m trying to get rid of a scratch I can’t itch. At first I thought it was excess material although I’m always told it has plenty of space between the nerve and tooth. Is this feeling a result of referred pain? There were many occasions in which local anesthesia would be injected into my left nerve trunk and that temporary relieves the pain. I’m left confused with all this. I understand nerves are complicated and I can’t rely on where I feel the pain because it’s in multiple areas of my body. I’m only focused on my mouth because that’s when it started and there were times of relief(temporary as it been) in my body as-well. Does anybody know what I should do because based on this I’m unsure whether or not the cause is the root canal or something else because both side are telling me otherwise. I know the teeth and heart are connected and I feel like a constant stabbing sensation in my body (with the exception of my right leg). I hope Dr. Berg can help me with this problem.

NOT A RECOMMENDATION SINCE DENTAL CARE DIFFERS IN THE WORLD. I'm a Swedish dentist. We recommend fluoride be used every day when brushing your teeth (morning and evening) and even more if you have active caries. But don't swallow it! Fluoride, just like salt and H2O, can be deadly in high doses, but beneficial in the right dosage/exposure (although salt and H2O are necessary for our survival..., fluoride is not). There are many homes in the world where the development of the teeth is affected in a bad way because of too much fluoride in the drinking water - most of the time, they have their own well. There are also many who suffer because of lack of fluoride exposure, with Caries (tooth decay) as a result - leading to treatments like fillings, root canal treatments, crowns, dentures and extractions (extractions is the only treatment where you don't put in exogenous material...). Your teeth benefit from fluoride, so the best way to use fluoride is to only expose the the teeth and not swallow it. So as long as there is not too much fluoride in the drinking water and you don't swallow the applied fluoride meant for your teeth - you should be fine. Also, fluoride i recommended to prevent caries, but how often and what you eat affects if you get cavities or not also - by a lot. There is of course genetics in play regarding cavities as well as our saliva differs... Tartar depends on your saliva composition (mostly genetic) and oral hygiene.

Damn man i love you're videos your awesome

Edward Bernays helped the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) and other special interest groups to convince the American public that water fluoridation was safe and beneficial to human health. This was achieved by using the American Dental Association in a highly successful media campaign.

[@eternalexplorer4471]

Isn't daily oil pulling with any one of oils like, cold pressed sesame oil, coconut oil, ground nut oil and brushing later would prevent plaque dr eric?

[@ElizabethHonoria138]

Dr. Berg which whole house filter do you use?

[@JetcannonM]

Ive always had a large saliva production and very healthy teeth does saliva protect your teeth in any way? Or is it just that a larger amount of fluid than normal washes away a lot of bad agents from your mouth as you swallow? Or maybe the saliva encapsulates it preventing it from acting?

[@user-sz8qo1sp1i]

Yup - saliva helps keep the teeth mineralized and helps to "wash away" acidic substances in the food and liquids we consume 😊.

I hate fluoride.. & everytime I take my kids to ANY allied health professional, or even any education dept. employee meeting, I get grilled on whether or not my kids have a dentist or if they're taking daily Fl- supplements.. It really gives one pause. And, just for full disclosure--- our town water supply is [unfortunately] fluoridated & my kids both have beautiful teeth with zero outward signs of decay. I could see people pushing this on us if my kids teeth were rotting out of their heads or they had obvious dental issues that a lay-person would recognize as a need for orthodontic treatment or something, but this just isn't the case..
