Podcast: Healthy Teeth and Gums 

I’ve actually only had two cleanings in my life. Didn’t know you should. I’m 44. Had zero plaque. I’ve eaten mostly plant based since I was 16. Thank god for that.

I can confirm with my own example: periodontal disease stopped when I switched to a plant-based diet.

After I switched to a predominantly WFPB diet my former dentist said my gums were healthy enough that I could go from 3 cleanings per year down to 2 cleanings. When my new dentist rolled his eyes when I described this to him, I sent him a list of 10 reputable studies (from this channel) on saturated fat's effect on periodontal disease. I hope he learned something. 🤨

Great information 😊I’m a dental hygienist! I’m excited to pass this along ❤

Why are those teeth, which everybody seems to be removing, called "wisdom teeth"? Dr. Greger gave me a hint: Pressure on your teeth (during chewing) affects blood circulation in the brain. Removing any teeth and not replacing them with implants diminishes that pressure and hinders healthy blood circulation in your brain. I'd recommend putting an implant in when removing any tooth (non-metal, zirconia would be best).

RIP to dear Dr. McDougall 🙏 ✝️💜

Can I just say that I love this man! We need more M.D. to talk science on lifestyle for those of us who need the evidence based , mathematical data based, logical and analytical problem solvers! GO PLANT POWER!

Thank you!

CoQ10 is a simple fix for periodontitis / gingivitis which of course also links to better heart health

Really helpful episode. Thanks

תודה רבה רבה. יש ליאת הספרים שלך בשפה הונגרית.

Your videos are always so informative. It’s cool to know that teeth placement has to do with mental health. For the record, I had high cholesterol at the age of 18, receding gums, and I’ve been struggling with poor mental health (after braces my back molars don’t touch). Eating salads always makes my mind clearer. Now I know why! Thanks, Dr. Gregor!

Great perspective Doc!

Fascinating!

Thank you 😊

Too late. I'm wfpb. I insisted on a back molar be extracted and to discontinue the practice of putting a crown over root canal. A dead root serving as bad bacteria growing ground. The oral surgeon told me after the extraction it's a good thing my former doctor recommended the Extraction. I said he didn't but I insisted. Oral surgeon looked surprised. My chronic eye infection and nasal infections are slowly clearing away. The extraction is so far in the back of my mouth you can't see it even when I smile or unless your doing dental work. Person has to advocate for yourself and always PRAY!

Interesting

In Japan they are testing drug for teeth regrow

I look at my very old relatives many of whom have dentures and they are sharp as tacks. I suspect a lot has to do with their diets--- no fast food, no pesticides, no TV fro=zen dinners, etc.--- and mostly a plant based diet except for eggs. Dentures are common in that "Greatest generation" and yet, dementia rare.

Slay Kyng 🎉

Only brush the teeth you want to keep (and stay off the meth!)

Does anyone have a sweetener-free toothpaste?

Any data on mewing?

Dr Gregor didn't mention the use of molecular iodine for oral health.

so is nighttime bruxism good for your brain?!?

Also...dont kiss anyone with bad teeth. You'll be sharing their oral microbiome which will setup camp in your mouth.

Hi Dr. Greger ...can you please debunk the book "The Great Plant-Based Con" ??

Oil pulling with coconut oil ! Your gums will thank you !!!

Dude arnt his teeth rotten?

So eating meat is good more chewing ❤
