THE BEST TOOTHPASTE! For Whitening, Sensitivity & Gum Disease

[@PanchoVilla-fe8pt]

What’s RDA?

[@josephrnemeth]

Good question! RDA is the scale they use for the Abrasiveness level of the toothpaste. So in other words how capable the toothpaste is of polishing or cleaning a hard surface by rubbing or grinding.

[@PanchoVilla-fe8pt]

@@josephrnemeth awesome! Thanks. Wait so the higher the number the better?

[@josephrnemeth]

@@PanchoVilla-fe8pt Not necessarily! The lower the RDA number the less it will cause damage to your teeth and gums through abrasion. The higher the RDA number the more thoroughly it will clean and it may whiten more effectively, but be careful! If you have gum recession or sensitive teeth, you may want to use a toothpaste with a lower RDA number. If you want to whiten your teeth and if your teeth and gums are relatively strong, use a higher RDA number.

My gums would bleed and I had bad breath. I tried everything and went to my dentist. She just said do salt water gargles but that didn't work. Also flossing was painful. She recommended I do some deep cleaning which was very expensive. So basically it was either pay us or just deal with your gums bleeding. I put up with it for almost a year. Then I found your video and bought a water pick. My problem went away in a 2 weeks. My mouth feels super clean and I have no pain. Thank you for sharing advice that actually helps people rather than just trying to make money. It's been 3 years since that and I haven't had an issue.

Fellow dentist here-really cool perspective you have. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the marketing of toothpastes, but unless you have a specific need (high caries risk, sensitivity, etc.) it really is unnecessary, as the main goal in oral hygiene is disruption of that biofilm. I personally use ClinPro 5000, because I have multiple restorations from my childhood that I want to keep healthy with high amounts of fluoride, and I also have sensitive teeth. I also just enjoy that minty fresh feeling toothpaste gives, even if it’s not a true indication of cleanliness. Thanks for the content, always nice to hear a fresh and grounded point of view.

[@Louis275]

My dentist told me that it doesn't matter what type or brand of toothpaste I use. There are so many out there that supposedly target so many things like plaque, tarter and gingivitis. He said I could use the cheapest most basic toothpaste and that I would be fine as long as I brushed. So instead of spending 8 or 10 dollars on toothpaste I went out and bought a tube of Aim for a dollar. All I can say is that I hope he was right...

I was told about 25 years ago from a young hygienist fresh out of dental school that you don't need to brush your teeth. You can use a rag to wipe off your teeth. You really need to concentrate on flossing. 25 years later, I'm just starting to understand that gums need love, too.❤ I'm an avid flosser trying to teach my 10 year year old the validity of flossing.

A humble dental students perspective: Brushing itself does prevent cavities and that is backed by many studies. Fluoride has overwhelming amount of studies to support its effectiveness in reducing cavities through (1) remineralizing/rebuilding enamel and (2) decreasing the solubility/ demineralization of enamel. Fluoride is in toothpaste and thus recommended by dentist. The toxicity would occur if a 6 year old ate a tube of toothpaste, so it is important to keep toothpaste out of kids reach. An adult would have to eat over 20 tubes of tooth paste before toxicity. Here is what I see the cause of cavities are based on my clinical experience as a dental student. Many cavities are in between teeth where brushing cannot reach or reoccurring around a previous filling of a lesion between the teeth. How to prevent these extremely common cavities? FLOSS! I can’t support flossing enough because I know most of us don’t do it. Think about it like sunscreen which has gotten a lot of attention for preventing wrinkles how about flossing to prevent tooth loss? something just as if not more unaesthetic not to mention has functional implications like not being able to eat! Let’s floss and sunscreen more this year 🎉 So back to this video: there are no clinical studies that are referenced and he conveniently promotes his powder. And he doesn’t have any disclaimers which is irresponsible because as a licensed dentist he inherently has influence over the general public’s opinion. Also dentist don’t make money off of people buying toothpaste, Colgate (etc) does. This man did commodify this video. It is interesting how people believe this dentist because he is saying something “different”. Like a social experiment. And it shows again the influence a license professional has over the public which is understandable. Abrasion is a type of wear that studies show is closely linked to toothbrush bristle hardeness. Oral B has a cool feature on their toothbrush where it lights up red when you are pressing too hard. (Not sponsored ) I notice a lot of men are very heavy handed and maybe a reminder could help. And of course avoiding hard bristle tooth brushes. Moral of the story: FLOSS, brush with medium to soft bristle brush, fluoride helps strengthen enamel, and continue learning and investing in yourself.

I use toothpaste maybe 4 times a year if I’ve been out camping or doing something where my teeth get neglected for a day. Usually just brush with super hot water. Went to the dentist today after 6 years, no cavities. They did extra imaging “because you haven’t been in so long,” which I’m sure was a scam. 6 years ago, also no cavities. 10 years before that, no cavities. Never had one.

As someone who has used oil pulling I disagree with what you said and if the doctor said what you said, I also disagree with him too. As long as the oil is natural, it's okay to use.

Speaking of wearing away enamel. My teeth never felt weaker than after I've gotten "cleanings" done. You're taking someone with already weak teeth, holding erosive chemicals to the teeth for 15-20min, then after they're nice and weak, you're electric scrubbing them.
