Great vid! You are on the right track regarding the true status of fluoride

Have you read the book by Melissa Gallico called “The Hidden Cause of Acne: How Toxic Water Is Affecting Your Health and What You Can Do about It”? It’s what first got me into studying this. She was an analyst for the FBI and she used her investigate skills to dig further into why her acne worsened when she was in countries with fluoride, and it led many other discoveries…

Oh yea, this has been well known. Andrew huberman covered it on his podcast as well. It’s a neurotoxin and is probably why we all have thyroid issues!! It’s 2024! Don’t be afraid to speak out! I will try to watch your whole video when I have time , but this comes up in the op every day with my patients. We have to discuss it! Because our patients are educating themselves. I had a new patient last week that has eliminated fluoride after being diagnosed with celiac’s. She’s using nanohydroxyapetite which I think is great but she had a lot of erosion and I urged her to research varnish to begin using at each hygiene visit. Good luck to you!

Really great information. What do I do for existing recession? My teeth are in good shape but I have brushing damage.

@askahygienist Ай бұрын

Eek I could really say without being able to see your mouth and knowing all the history. I would talk to a local hygienist who can see your mouth and make a full assessment. You need to understand the cause of recession (is it truly brushing? Maybe your gum tissue is genetically thin, maybe the way your teeth are positioned in your mouth is contributing to faster recession, maybe history of ortho, or clenching/grinding…) need to figure out for sure what the cause is and go from there..

Cochrane released a fluoride review on Friday saying it may reduce decay by 3% or have no benefit at all in water.

What should someone do if nano hydroxyapatite isn’t enough? I’m cavity prone and I’m still getting cavities but have been avoiding fluoride for many years

@silverhranch 3 ай бұрын

Give Eucellus teethpowders a try. I have been using them for sometime now and not had any new cavities since!

I mean the big question would be what does your lifestyle/diet look like, also any health conditions..cavities involve so much more than just the type of toothpaste you use.

My kiddo has mild enamel hypoplasia so her teeth are sensitive and she has two incipient interproximal caries. The dentist started her on prescription prevident sensitive and it’s completely taken away her sensitivity. She’s 15. We use carifree tooth gel in the morning and mi paste after brushing. Are you saying she should not be using fluoride? Her enamel is already compromised and I just want the best outcome for her. I did just order mi paste one for her to try in the mornings over carifree to see. It’s recaldent. We are working on remineralizing the caries while keeping her teeth strong and keeping the sensitivity away. Any advice?

@askahygienist Ай бұрын

I mean honestly if it were my kid and I found something that works I would stick with it. But, knowing what I know about fluoride and also about hydroxyapatite, I would also consider trying to transition to a good hydroxyapatite toothpaste which helps restore enamel, helping with sensitivity and cavity prevention. I really like Dr. Jen’s brand; it’s what I use for myself and my toddler. They also have a line of toothpaste callled Super Paste which combines fluoride and nano-hydroxyapatite for a stronger effect. Maybe start there?

@RobynBuie-ir8uv Ай бұрын

Can you tell me if Dr Jen’s foams? My daughter won’t brush with toothpastes that don’t foam. She loves the texture and foaminess of carifree and the prevident sensitive wiped her sensitivity completely. She uses the mi paste twice a day after brushing which she also really likes. I guess I’m nervous for her to try something without fluoride especially since she is trying to remineralize an incipient interproximal cavity. With weaker or softer enamel I’m soooo nervous to mix the fluoride.

@@RobynBuie-ir8uv no, Dr. Jen's really doesn't foam much. You can look into Ollie toothpaste the Clean Mint flavor. it definitely foams more and it has 10% nano hydroxyapatite..

Wonder if you’ve ever tried a miswak it’s a Middle Eastern tooth brush well kind of a polishing brush used before prayer times I use it and noticed a great difference but just wondering if you may have tried it or how you might have found it 🌷🌷

@askahygienist 2 ай бұрын

I’ve never heard of it…it sounds quite abrasive haha. I’ll try to look it up. What do you mean by “great difference”? Like your teeth feel cleaner or your gums are less tender, or your mouth is less sensitive?

Where I grew up, they never put flouride in the water. Bu we did get flouride mouthwash at school, because the mouth hygiene was pretty poor in the early 1970ties. There could be chloride and lead from the pipes in ithe drinking water The great mercury problem is probably even in my kids. Flouride might also be essential for bone growth, but I haven´t seen any proof of that. My kids now in their 20ties have had much less cavities in their teeth than I had, an I thought the flouride toothpaste was the reason. They have stronger teeth tham I had, and maybe it is more because of good mouth and tooth hygiene than flouride?

@askahygienist Ай бұрын

Probably more because of good hygiene than fluoride I would say. Fluoride is actually not an essential nutrient for bone growth. That much I know for sure. There is no such thing as “fluoride deficiency” which would contribute to “poor bone development”.

Is spit supposed to smell like nothing or is it normal if it's a bit stinky

@askahygienist 3 ай бұрын

I would say generally it should smell pretty neutral. Stinky could mean something simple like you’re dehydrated or ate something stinky, or could be more serious like there’s a big cavity or infection, or gingivitis or gut health issues…

Cant believe that the fluoride levels in India were so high and the people still had decay. Scary. I don't know which way to go. Hydroxy or Fluoride. ADA says ( along with many You tube dentists channels ) Fluoride is the most effective. Maybe all those Indian people were eating a bunch of refined carbs

@askahygienist Ай бұрын

Studies show HAP and Fl are equally effective. Check out my video “is your hydroxyapatite toothpaste working” for a more detailed explanation/links to studies.
