Toothpastes #

  • Glycerin-free toothpaste. Tom’s for instance has it. Earthpaste is a good alternative
    • Periosciences seems really good and endgame minimalist. White care has a bit more stuff + fluoride
    • Wellnesse
  • Tea tree oil and similar things are endocrine disruptors, so it’d be best to avoid.

Nano-Hydroxyapatite #

  • Apagard is the standard nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste. It has hella glycerin, sodium silicate, sodium lauryl sulfate.
  • Biorepair plus looks better - one of the few I can find that has zinc hydroxyapatite (non-nano)
  • nanoXIM•CarePaste comprises nano-hydroxyapatite particles with typical particle size below 50 nm in a rod-like shape (typically 30-40 nm length and 5-10 nm width). This product is an aqueous suspension of 15.5 wt% hydroxyapatite and 4.5 wt% potassium chloride. I don’t think it’s commercially available, though.
  • Inflammatory in the lungs; in mice if they ingest 10g/kg, it caused cardiac arrest and fatty liver. The smaller and more needle-shaped, the deadlier.

    • Toothbrushes bcecome infected after one use. Let them dry for 24 hours in the sun. Or I suppose alternatively, you could leave the brush submerged in a cup of peroxide.
    • Hydrogen peroxie strips teeth of proteins, and baking soda is too alkaline. It makes the teeth too sensitive over time.
      • But apparently baking soda is less abrasive than toothpaste. She doesn’t like it though.
    • Miswack stick, or peelu. Fray the ends, massage the gums with the stick, clipp off used ends. Stick contains silica and resins and fluoride. (Naturally occurring fluoride applied to the outside of the teeth can make enamel harder and cavity resistant)
    • Chlorine dioxide/CloSYS/UltraDex.
      • A guy on RPF had some bad experiences with her advice and with CloSys
    • Doesn’t recommend flossing, because it can push bad bacteria into the bloodstream. Calcium institute guys don’t recommend it either.
    • Periodontal disease is painless.
    • Oil pulling screws up the biofilm, though it can get rid of gum disease.
    • Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste puts minerals back into teeth from the saliv. It has silica, not chalk. SLS is okay with silica.
    • Water Pik can work in a health mouth or with orthodontia. Might be useful for deep pockets >4 mm. If trying to get 4 mm pockets to go away, Water Pik damages the hairs that rejoin the gums together and the pockets stay. What’s interesting to note is that a lot of these things work in synchrony, namely the xylitol + crest + closys - strep can become resistant to xylitol which the closys kills off (as well as normalizing the pH before brushing)

Protocol #

https://drelliecom.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/zellies-cmcsbooklet-2016-spreads.pdf Do not rinse with water between any of the steps.

  1. Pre-rinse with acid neutral rinse/water with CloSYS (great antibacterial) for 1-2-3 minutes.
  2. Brush for 2 mins, mainly on the gums. After use, stir in listerine, rinse, and let dry.
    • Dental problems in a dry mouth may actually be made worse with excessive toothbrushing or the frequent use of mouth rinses like Listerine, which itself has an acidity level capable of dissolving tooth enamel if it remains, undiluted, on teeth for a long period of time.
  3. Rinse 30-60 seconds with listerine cool mint (WITH alcohol - remember she’s Canadian where it’s not alc freegreat antiseptic, but is acidic, so must be followed with a rinse)
  4. 1 minute anticavity rinse ( some fluoride rinse).
    • ACT rinse is diluted at 0.05% fluoride, which is actually more effective than more concentrated solutions. Furthermore, it’s only constant/thorough contact that matters - only so much can get in. Just a few drops of fluoride mouth rinse is basically enough. (I think ACT rinse is diluted to such a degree)
    • To put it roughly, it forms a shell around
    • Do not rinse with water after this step… Do not eat/drink for 30 minutes after either.
    • I don’t think this is alkalizing so much as it is the case that this is the only time when acidity is actually good, allowing the ACT to facilitate superior enamel.

Xylitol #

https://www.healingteethnaturally.com/rinsing-mouth-brushing-teeth-with-xylitol-sugar.html

  • Xylitol* gets rid of mature plaque, and it instantly alkalizes the mouth. Alkalizes, feeds the good bacteria, and makes plaque slippery. Hygrosopic and pulls special saliva to come into your mouth. Very toxic to dogs btw.

    • Mix equal amounts with baking soda.
    • Erythritol is even better? 1 2 No blood sugar response (supposeldy), milder taste. Comes in sugar-like granules though - no gum. Would have to make my own or somethin.
    • PÜR has xylitol mints as well. Major key. Peppermint is estrogenic though.
    • (At least) 3 times a day, take half a teaspoon of xylitol powder (or more) and rinse your mouth with the xylitol-saliva mixture which will form for 3 to 5 minutes a time, then spit. Alternatively, use the xylitol-saliva mix as if it were toothpaste and brush your teeth with it for 3 to 6 minutes. Do not rinse your mouth afterwards, washing out with water markedly reduces xylitol’s positive effect."

  • Eating a little less than two teaspoons (6.5 grams) of xylitol daily will gradually eliminate the harmful germs that normally feed on sugar or carbohydrates to produce mouth acidity, cause cavities and promote ear, nose and throat infections. It takes five weeks to eradicate the harmful bacteria from plaque on teeth and about six months to clean the tongue, saliva, throat, and other areas of the mouth of these bacteria.

  • (Swalloing it) can contribute greatly to GERD/acid reflux!

  • 900 healthy strains of bacteria in the mouth, and 10 bad ones: 9 of which are killed by xylitol, the other one by listerine.

Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye #

  • Dentists have known for years that damaged enamel can be hardened back to total health with a simple repair process that occurs naturally in the mouth. Under certain conditions, minerals from saliva can flow into teeth to strengthen them and in this way can even repair a cavity and prevent the need for a filling.

  • Pushing a sharp point into a weakened area on a tooth reduced the chance of such a repair.

  • Children who are infected with harmful bacteria by age two have the most cavities at age four. Studies have also shown that at five years of age, children from parents with healthy mouths have 70 to 80 percent less chance of developing cavities, and the benefits may last into adulthood.

  • it takes about thirty minutes for saliva to balance the acidity and return the mouth to a safe state for teeth. What is rarely explained is that this kind of balancing can occur only in a mouth with plenty of healthy nonacidic saliva.

  • Caries refers to the broad disease that causes cavities. Caries is present in the entire mouth.

  • There is only one way for a cavity to form: the tooth becomes sufficiently porous and demineralized from acids - to the point the tooth breaks.

  • A truly healthy mouth ideally has a resting acidity measurement of close to pH 7. Any time your mouth’s acidity level falls below the number 6, you should be worried about your teeth.

    • I suddenly understand what https://acidicbody.com/ is about. The homepage creeps the absolute hell out of me though. Their food list blacklists like everything though besides greens and potatoes.

  • we finished with a tooth-protective food, such as an apple, a stalk of celery, or something dairy. She’s roasted apple jucie this whole time due to its pH of 2.2, but I didn’t know apples were tooth-protective???

  • It’s important to maintain a biofilm of healthy plaque! To scrape it off all the time leaves the enamel exposed. Excessive cleaning, or cleaning at all in a healthy mouth, is potentially deleterious.

  • Mature harmful plaque forms a tightly-packed, multi-layer barrier where their anaerobic kind can thrive.

  • When tooth enamel has been covered with infected plaque for three weeks, the tooth surface underneath it turns white. When this plaque layer is wiped away, the shape of the white area on the tooth surface corresponds exactly to the shape of the area previously covered by the plaque.

  • Citric Acid chelates the calcium in teeth.

  • Banana, Pineapple, Apples, potatoes, and vegetables, alkalize the mouth. Cranberry juice, kiwi, raspberries, strawberries, papaya, are all good for the teeth. She is neutral on raw Honey though it is ~3.4-6.1 pH.

  • Clean toothbrushes daily in a thing of listerine for 30 seconds. Regarding toothpastes, avoid dicalcium phosphate dehydrate.

  • Granular xylitol (~2tsp/day) tastes like a slightly fruitier table sugar. Would be nice to add to milk and with relish allow it to saturate the teeth. The addition of honey is also possibly acceptable.

  • Conquer aging oral microbiome biohack:

    • 1000 mL water
    • 10g xylitol
      • ~.66g per scoop = 16 scoops
      • Limits streptococus mutans, which is linked with cavity formation
    • 10g baking soda
      • ~.66g per scoop = 16 scoops
      • He chose this to because it’s isotonic with plasma, which is .9% salt.
    • 2-3 drops peppermint oil (this seems to be relatively arbitrary dose)
      • Limits P. gingivalis.
    • Next, he will add 3 drops of clove oil (for β-Caryophyllene)
    • 2-4g potassium nitrate - prebiotic for beneficial bacteria
      • This means you shouldn’t rinse after using it, basically for as long as possible
      • It was effective, but it didn’t actually increase the amount of beneficial bacteria really, nor the nitrate-reducing bacteria.

  • I’ll add: (this stuff doesn’t dissolve well but it happens eventually)

  • Chewable tablets that temporarily stains your teeth to specifically show plaque: https://www.amazon.com/Chewable-Disclosing-Tablets-Shows-Plaque/dp/B01E4AER00?linkId=f8b6f5e4e2eef2248fea5df8d8f9d54c&language=en_US Bryan Johnson used this for improving his brushing technique

Research #

Whitening #

  • Kits are like $70 or so. Results usually last a little over a year.
  • The LED thing is a total meme for OTC concentrations
  • Results last 6-24 months? H2O2 = free radicals = breaks apart dentin, i.e. dark/stained parts, into smaller ones, which reflects light whiter.
  • https://www.animated-teeth.com/whitening_strips/a1_teeth_whitening.htm
    • Supreme: 14%, 21 treatments . Level 28ish.
      • No point not rolling with this. I can just stop when I’m satisfied. Probably EOD at most in all likelihood with the sensivity. Nothing wrong with that. No downside to that either.
    • Crest Professional: 10%, 20 treatments. Level 18-20 or something
    • Classic Vivid: 10%, 10 treatments. Level 6
  • Nothing wrong with only doing a few treatments, though. The sensitivity might give me a run for my money. Just wait a day or 2 to see the “true” results after the teeth rehydrate.
    • I cut them in half lengthwise so they are skinnier and only cover the front of my teeth. I find the most sensitivity comes when I fold the full strip over the bottom of my tooth, so by only putting it on the front it eliminates the sensitivity! PLUS you get twice as many strips - from a severely sensitive toothed girlie.

PAP #

  • phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid
  • They last a similar amount of time. Apparently it’s more damaging than H2O2 despite that not being their claim lmao
