Yeah, for the moment five. I love cats. Do you like cats too?

I sometimes think you may have a cat at home

In the wild, animals have less teeth problems because their diets have no sugar nor refined carbs. All teeth are genetically adapted to only be good for a certain type of diet. Outside that they start to fail.

When I was investigating, they said that animals had teeth problem when they changed diets or ate things they were not used to. Otherwise, they learnt self cleaning methods that were good enough to survive for their lifespan

If you are prone to cavities the best thing to do is to get your molars sealed by the dentist. This sealing makes cavities nearly impossible.

I'm certainly gonna check this

Siamese cats have big teeth problems.

Oh, I didn't know that. Siamese cats definetely have many health issues. My youngest cat is siamese, she's a fucking wild beast Yet so sweet and loving. She just has two modes, war and love.

I have a fucking electric sonic toothbrush and a professional dentist water jet.

I don't even do any of this fancy stuff. I just mouthwash, brush, tongue and Jaws, and the above mentioned things at times. Maybe check your potassium/calcium intake and just remember calcium supplements are no good without the potassium. These strengthen teeth and bones.

As I keep telling you people: GENETICS!

You know that "debunking science" book that your writing? dunno if your still following through with that or not, but if you are, will there be a part/chapter on genetics? Because it seems like its becoming a staple of your explanations, just wondering if you might go into detail in your book or maybe a YouTube episode you have planned.

Just how do you even determine that fluoride gives you brainfog, or anything specific for that matter? Unless it’s instant and really strong

[Thought Art]

@MarkKol I avoid flouride. I hadn't used it for like 3 years. At the dentist they do with thing where they cover your teeth for like 3 minutes in this flouride past. It definitely creates a happy brain fog.

When I drink tap water or even certain brand bottled water like Poland spring, I get a mild headache. I know it's that because it always use to happen after I drink it. So I stopped, only on rare occasions if other options aren't available at the moment. And I have well water at my home.

Use hydroxyapatite toothpaste. Make sure to floss regularly, work your way up to it slowly if your gums are weak and bleed easily. Brush your tongue and also the top of your mouth. If it is a natural hydroxyapatite toothpaste, it is essentially going to be entirely edible, you don't have to rinse with water and it is recommended you don't (just spit all of it out without water) and I find that this helps keep the oral microbiome in check for longer (clean, no bad breath). The toothpaste I use has sorbitol and peppermint oil in order to mediate the oral microbiome, so maybe look for those.

Control what you eat, make sure it is not overly sticky and carby. It should be something that your saliva easily breaks down and emulsifies. Essentially stick to whole foods.

In the morning I eat 1 tbsp of butter and coconut oil and coat the inside of my gums and teeth with it, gives it a protective layer. I'll have 1 tbsp at the end of the day too. Let food be your oral medicine. 

Chew thoroughly and properly. Should be like baby food at the end. You can imagine you're chewing as if there is a rock or needle in the food. It's important that your saliva properly lubricates the food and mouth.

Make sure your mouth isn't dry. Hydrate.

When I say "genetics" I am not really making any special appeals to science. All I mean is, the stuff about who you are which cannot be changed by any amount of effort. For example, the fact that you have a human body and not a kangaroo body is a function of genetics. And there is nothing you can do to change that, no matter how much spiritual bullshit you consume.

You don't need to be a scientist or a geneticist to make the simple observation that every living organism has a certain foundation for its being which it cannot change and must live with, which define that organism's basic capacities, strengths, and weaknesses.

How I stopped having cavities without needing fluoride. I definitely eat sugar still lol.

A water flosser + tongue scraper may help as well. The charcoal and BOKA toothpaste are essential.
 

The Uncle Harry’s remineralization drops work wonders although I had a harder time understanding the health factors. They have other products that seem to work great too but their mouth wash has colloidal silver which was a red flag to me. The drops seem safer, and like I said work really well.

Side note: the Nano-Hydroxyapatite is renowned, in Japan especially, as it is 100% non toxic and already a building block of your teeth. I’ve used that tooth paste for years. Not too many in that price range with it in it.

You know what, I mistakenly took the Siamese for the Himalayan. I always used to mix the names up, as I never owned neither. The Himalayan was the one i meant was a pain in the ass. Always hair balls and looked mean and they're usually unfriendly and finicky. Still love them, though. The Siamese are beautiful. I just googled. Oh my gosh, they're so beautiful.

Siamese are the most friendly and gregarious cat. But if you piss them off they will unleash a storm of hurt.

So I've been struggling with teeth health for a long time, no matter what I do my teeth give me problems.  I'm open to any advice to improve the health of my mouth.

Thanks

that´s weird, I literally have stopped getting cavities after changing my toothpaste to non-fluoride. (although, I have gotten more strict with my dental hygiene too)

My theory is that usually fluoride full of chemicals toothpastes, even though they might be effective to kill bacteria, they debilitate the natural strength and defences of the gums and teeth in the longterm (which is a perfect business model for the dentist industry).

Have you tried the Himalayan brand? https://himalayausa.com/collections/oral-care/products/simply-cinnamon-complete-care-toothpaste
