Topics discussed during the show:
Mouth microbiome: tooth repair, tooth remineralization, acidity damage, saliva alkalinity
Sugar, carbs produce bad health: topical acidity in mouth and body, feed the bad bacteria, compromise the microbiome)
Nutrition: food, food pairing, supplements (Importance of food pairing for better absorption, green juicing with oil, vegetables topped with butter, issues with supplements.)
Oral ecosystem: good bacteria versus bad bacteria, proper balance in mouth ecosystem(Do not wipe out the good bacteria with oral care products. Glycerine in toothpaste obstructs remineralization. Halitosis due to over-dominant bad bacteria.)
Stopping acid damage: xylitol mints, alkaline saliva, biofilm, food, water, nitric acid(Fruits, carbs, grains, bread, cookies, vinegar etc strip the protective biofilm. Protect teeth from prolonged exposure to acidity. No snacking. Use vegetables, mushrooms, onion, garlic to control bad breath. Eat and drink at mealtimes, use xylitol to reset saliva to alkalinity for natural tooth repair.)
Toothpaste and fluoride: abrasive agents, fluorosis.(Original Crest is best toothpaste. Avoid triclosan and glycerine. Fluoride and tooth issues in children under 3 and long term effects on health, issues with white spots and brown spots on teeth, endocrine damage, thyroid issues, infertility, spinal fusion etc. Important to know about health issues resulting from cooking with fluoridated water in aluminum pans, non-stick cookware, using tap water in formula, drinking fluoridated tea. Benefits of using Pearlcium.)
Traditional dentistry: mercury fillings, white fillings with BPA, routine cleanings, flossing, brushing, oral rinses, antibiotics, toxic dental offices(Negative impacts of prescribed dental care as the protective biofilms are being stripped off the teeth and gum line. Dr. Ellie Philipp’s book prescribes an oral-care protocol that supports a healthy ecology in the mouth without the harsh assaults of traditional dental procedures. Dangers of spreading mouth infection via flossing and reuse of wet toothbrush within 24 hrs period, dangers of permanent oral acidity during pregnancy, menopause, periods of stress and the use of sauna for an alkaline pH reset.)
Oral health and lifestyle: nutrition, sleep, immunity, meditation, exercise.(Wholistic approach to health. Health starts in the mouth. The digestive system can be reset in 3 months. Important to know the difference between good and bad dental probiotics. Some use Splenda not xylitol. Doc has her own brand available on her website.)
Benefits of chocolate.Toothbrushes that work.
Listeners’ questions: MI paste; silver nitrate; Alaska birch syrup; dental implants)
