We use soda to clean toilets and dishwashers and it works great due to all that phosphoric acid in dissolving mineral buildup. But it's murder on your teeth enamel (which is almost exclusively minerals), the pH is really low.

As a companion to this video, it would be useful for people here to know 3-5 natural ways other than water and brushing to remove harmful bacterial or acids from the mouth. Some examples: xylitol, salt, baking soda and calcium carbonate.

[@Magnulus76]

Xylitol is good, but it's not a substitute for brushing or a mouthwash. Xylitol is more of a long-term oral hygene strategy to combat the dysbiosis that causes cavities and gum disease in the first place.

[@Lanstat]

What I've learned from this video, it's just best to starve and not eat anything because everything has either sugars or hidden sugars.. Jokes aside I recently found your channel and I must say it's perfect for me. Been binge-watching handful of your videos as I am an aspiring DH. Is it weird that I will be a male DH?

Also enamel can remineralises after acidic lemon/orange juices from the natural minerals in saliva so you still can have them and your enamel stays as strong as it is, plus after drinking soda don’t brush your teeth at least for 30 minuets because it can take off that enamel out

[@emppos432]

A few years back i was told i had a small cavity, and that it wouldn't need filling if i managed to stop it. Well i managed to stop it (remineralize i guess?) even though i was drinking tea every night eating a lot of carbs etc. I had a big habit of chewing sugar free xylitol gum and drinking water after every meal. I was so proud of myself cause growing up i always had cavities. 😅

[@acspectator8636]

Up until recently to a few a years ago, without being told adequate information about caring for my teeth and quite possibly some flawed dentists, I began feeling stupid when I had to figure out everything ON MY OWN too late on why I had being getting enamel wear and even a root canal(one time at a dentist they said I had no cavities. A week later I experienced pain and they said that they may have known about the root canal...). My family has been assuming that it was low calcium from drinking almond milk more than regular milk, but I began to realize the many acidic foods and drinks that I’ve been having for years. Almost daily I’ve been drinking sodas, fizzy soda juices like San Pellegrino’s Arianciata and Limonata that my family used to get, many fruit juices, ice creams along with them sometimes, coffee daily(I only found out they stain your teeth after looking up when I could begin drinking it after my wisdom teeth got removed), sometimes sucking but at a few other points chewing ice cubes, and eating candies...And...I sometimes brushed to early, but now I also feel that I should’ve just stuck to always brushing twice a day. Only after experiencing the results the hard way, I learn on my own what I should’ve known then what I know now only through desperation of trying save my teeth from further damage. I’m now either avoiding almost all these foods and drinks or minimizing some of them when being made to consume being inevitable. Still the next challenge is trying to improve my brushing methods, particularly with not being not to hard and not soft even with a soft bristled toothbrush. It’s not easy for me even up to this day, I’m always worried about some of the sticky plaque using the gum lines and crevices to bypass even some of the thorough brush strokes that I sometimes have to carefully run the pointed end of a flosspick to check if any plaque particles are still there. Adequate brushing is a lot harder than you think...

[@Magnulus76]

The carbonated beverages are probably the single biggest problem. Usually they have phosphoric acid and other flavor enhances and are very acidic: they work great for cleaning mineral deposits off bathtubs and toilets, after all. Almonds are only bad in excess, as they have alot of mineral-binding oxalates. You can have great teeth and bones without eating dairy, you just have to eat things like greens, cruciferous vegetables, tofu and beans, seaweeds, and blackstrap molasses. I eat alot of collard greens because they are mild flavored and pair very well with foods like beans or potatoes, they are a good substitute for spinach in any recipe.

What should you do after you eat? Chew sugar free gum with xylitol? Swish mouth with water? Brush teeth? Trying to understand what to do after eating to stop bacteria from producing acid.

yes! great questions! sugar free gum is GREAT and so is swishing with water! you want to wait at least 30 minutes before brushing, however! hope this helps!

Hi, I just finished watching a few of your videos and I enjoyed every one of them. Very informative and fun to watch. Thank you very much for taking the time to make them.

if i really like lemonade and all that citrousy stuff, what can I do after it to protect my teeth? would it be to drink water like the other case? i really like lemonades and all that's why

[@Magnulus76]

I put dried fruit in oatmeal so it's less sticky. I also try to get the brands with no additional sugar added. If you can't do anything else, get some Orbit sugar-free gum and chew it after meals, it makes a huge difference in having a cleaner mouth. I prefer Spry or Pur but it's harder to find. Both only have xylitol as a sweetener, which is phenomenal in terms of what it can do for cavities prevention and remineralization.

[@TheMrblaster2012]

Another question, I've read mixed recommendations between brushing before or after breakfast. I've read that it's best to brush just after you wake up because of the accumulated bacteria overnight. So in one part of the video you said about making sure to properly brush after a snack or meal, does that mean I have to brush 4 times a day? One before breakfast, one afterwards (30 minutes later) one after lunch and one before bedtime? I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this.

[@lethalassassin1754]

Just brush 2 to 3 times a day and mostly just rinsing after eating like she says. Try to avoid the foods she’s talking about only in moderation.

[@freedomfighters101]

Cmon let's be honest, anything you eat can cause tooth decay. Any food can have an effect range from 1-100%. What I learned: "There is no escape" (vader voice)

[@ibtisamzubaidi]

Do I have to brush after eating (apple and cheese) i only flossed and washed my teeth with water. And now I am drinking green tea. Probably gonna drink water after the tea. But do I have to brush my teeth 🪥 after eating apples? Can’t i just drink water and floss.

[@billmorrigan386]

Definitely brush your teeth thoroughly with a fine bristle toothbrush if possible and when possible. You may also water floss before brushing. Apples are sugary and acidic. They are very bad for the teeth but you should eat a lot of them as they are superb for health. To be more precise, people should generally eat more fruit and vegetables rather than consuming a lot of pastries, meat and eggs. Tea and coffee are not actually dangerous to the teeth unless you add sugar. I drink a lot of coffee without sugar like ten times a day. I was able to switch to decaf because it's dangerous to overconsume caffeine, especially if you have heart problems. Bottom line: drinking water barely helps. Non-sugary minty bubble-gum is better. Water flossing is better than gums. But the most reliable way is to clean properly with a fine bristle toothbrush. I now try to brush after every snack but I often fail to do so. I guess I'm lazy but I'm trying not to snack too often on chips, cookies and stuff like that. I also try to clean more thoroughly. If you clean your tooth often, soft brushes are good. Flossing is usually meant just to clean spots that are hard to clean with a brush or/and get out some stuck food. Water flossing is also excellent for cleaning gums. Just an opinion.

oh man, I was told to avoid acidic and spicy food 25 years ago because of my acid reflux, but I've just lived with it because as a woman of Mexican origin, I eat spicy and lemony/limey food every day. At least I'm not eating limes on a stick with salt, or cucumbers with lime, vinegar, and salt anymore. The enamel on my two front teeth was so worn down as a teen that my dentist thought I was bulimic, and I needed bonding, but that bonding is still up and kicking. My dental issues are now due grinding/clenching and TMJ, aggressive brushing and receding gum, and likely genetics.😭Got 5 gum grafts this year, now using Invisalign, and will likely get a surgery to fix my hiatal hernia that leads to reflux soon. Not sure I can give up putting lime juice and hot sauce in my food though.

when hygienists say wait 30 minutes before u brush are yall talking about with toothpaste? because i like to get some of the food stuck between my braces out by just brushing a little and rinsing with water then 30 minutes later ill brush normally with toothpaste

great question! I need to look into this further!!! but I believe it's not only the toothpaste - but also the toothbrush bristles themselves! So instead - rinsing your mouth with water or chewing sugarless gum are better options for right after!

I notice you say brush and floss after every meal (always wait 30mins). Would you recommend brushing and flossing many times a day? I thought it was bad to do either more than 2-3 times, and I'm sure I was told not to floss more than once a day? (Unless dancing 😅)

Yeah I’m curious about this too...

Not wine😭😂 Would you recommend soda water over regular soda? I rarely drink regular soda but I love soda water like La Croix. Just want to be sure the carbonation isn’t harming my teeth!

hey :) !!! GREAT question! so definitely soda water is BETTER but I've read there is still acid in most soda waters... so it's still not great but definitely better than regular soda because less sugar! I need to do more research on seltzer/carbonation related to teeth! Once I do - I'll definitely make a video about it :)
