I am a dental hygienist Dr Axe is spot on except "flossing is ok" you absolutely NEED to clean between your teeth with something either floss or proxabrush, flosspiks ,or a waterpik with tea tree oil mixture is even better especially for gum health. Keep Smiling 😁💕
Organic coconut oil pull 20 min a night reversed my severe gum disease in 2 weeks. Was scheduled for dental root planning because gum disease was bad but by time appt rolled around-2 weeks later, it was not needed because gums were completely healed. Dentist was surprised
Do you remember how deep your root # was. The dentist will score them with a number. Just curious what your numbers were. Higher the # the worse the pockets.
@@LGMinnesota I don’t remember exact numbers but they said it was bad and root planing was definitely the next step. They would not even do the cleaning until it was done, which they didn’t have to do root planing because gums were so much better they were even surprised at difference
Surgical Dental Assistant here.....water pik is your friend on low settings with the rubber tip. If you us on high your pushing back your gums. Trace your gum line with the rubber tip. This helps a lot!
I just came from the dentist and I was very disappointed at myself. I have neglected my oral health but upon seeing this video, I am hopeful that I can reverse some of the damage. Thank you 🙏🏾
I’ve been coconut oil pulling the past few months and for the past ten years would always have bloody gums after flossing. Since oil pulling I have no bloody gums. The dental hygientist did my cleaning/ floss and I just couldn’t believe there was only the faintest pink. Usually looks like a blood bath and I couldn’t even taste blood. I would never had believed it if I didn’t get results myself. So I understand people being skeptical but seriously try it for a month and see the difference. I’m happy with results, also got a clean bill of health where I usually get “you need a cavity filled” but no cavities this past visit!
This is crazy. I still have my wisdom teeth at 34. I oil pull often, and knew it was helping, but also couldn't understand why I wasn't septic or why the cavities hadn't spread (4+ years)! Nice to have the facts to support this! Amazing how the body WANTS to heal itself...if only you let it! 🙏🏾
@@i-deegamingvideos6016 Not in the US. Orthodontist make their money of just referring you to get them pulled. Which is why I oil pull because I can’t find a dentist who will fill them they all say to get them pulled. One of if not the most lucrative businesses in the US is peoples health.
@@oceanbelow wow, I didn't know that. I only have the bottom ones, (I'm 29) the upper ones have never come out. The ones that I have literally took over 5 years to fully come out from my gums. I wouldn't want them pulled out. Gambling with people's health is wrong.
I am 74 and it is only couple months ago when I had to remove the last of my wisdom teeth. 😄 For the last 30 years I follow Dr.Weston Price dietary recomendations . He was a dentist who 90 years ago travelled around the world to the most remote places. People there ate only tha local unprocessed foods , had no cavities nor any chronic diseases. Dr.Axe implements into his recomendations all the principles researched by Dr.Weston Price. 👍 They work !
A dentist wanted to do a root canal on my tooth. Told her to pull it. She did but the tooth next to that one turned bad. I was on double antibiotics and none of it worked. Eventually I stumbled across coconut oil pulling. Did it twice a day for 15-20 mins a day. All cavities in my mouth literally vanished. Oil pulling is disgusting to do but it is very powerful and effective 🙌🏼
I have to get back to doing it. I also learned that using wheat grass as a mouthwash is also very powerful for healing mouth issues. These are great options. Thanks for sharing your story.
00:37 “I know this will work with both mild and moderate cavities.” 00:50 “There are really four main causes of tooth decay: too much sugar in your diet, excess physic acid, lack of minerals, and lack of fat soluble vitamins.” 01:18 Excess sugar sitting in your mouth supports tooth decaying bacteria to grow which then eats away at the tooth enamel… and are linked to other health issues such as heart disease. 01:35 The number one thing to do is to remove all processed sugar from your diet. Sweet substitutes: stevia, Manuka or raw local honey ~ maximum 1 Tbsp, or fruit (dried or fresh). Remove maple syrup and whole cane sugar for a time. 02:15 The second thing: Phytic acid which is what binds minerals and vitamins in the foods, is mostly in grain and some in beans, nuts, and seeds, unless one soaks which starts to sprout them (or slow cook them), releasing the minerals and vitamins for absorption. Eat sprouted grain breads, grains, seeds, and nuts. Note: 02:56 You are what you digest, not what you eat. 03:59 Step three is load up on minerals… Calcium, Magnesium, and Selenium, Iron, Phosphorous, and Silica that you will find in Vegetables, sprouted nuts and seeds, meats, raw cheeses, and other sheep and goat dairy. Probiotics help with mineral absorption. 4:54 And last, consume a diet high in fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, K, and E. Consume foods that are orange and green.
One thing Dr. Axe did not talk about is GLYPHOSATE in our food! EVIL has found a way to spray most of our food with GLYPHOSATE (Round-Up) before harvest to kill the whole crop at the same time! They call it a drying agent! It's criminal and a crime against humanity! The people behind this practice should be executed! GLYPHOSATE (Round-Up) in parts per million kill all your gut bacteria! Your gut is your second BRAIN. GLYPHOSATE (Round-Up) prevents your body from absorbing vitamins and minerals! How do you think Big Pharma sells drugs? You have to have sick people! How do you get more sick people to sell your product (DRUGS) to? Well you POISON them at every meal! All non-organic grains and beans and even cane sugar are sprayed with GLYPHOSATE (Round-Up)! That is why we should only eat ORGANIC food! I highly recommend you shop at the local farmers market and try to grow your own food if you have the space. If enough people start to buy only ORGANIC food this evil practice will go away! Please pray for an awaking of the general public! Tell everyone you know!
@cee lee simple...swish a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes. Spit it outside or in the garbage when finished though or it hardens and can clog drains.
I cut out sugar and alcohol and nuts. I eat oysters, grass fed butter, liver (in pate), eggs, shellfish and bone broth and lots of vegetables, this fixed my bleeding gums in 2-3 months.
I feel so incredibly BLESSED to come across your channel!! The United States needs more doctors just like you! It's so sad that so many physicians base their decisions on which medications to prescribe their patients because they will get a kick back from the pharmaceutical rep they are working with. I was in medical sales before I became a stay at home mom and that job really opened my eyes to a whole other side to health care that I never knew existed. Today, I am trying to do things TOTALLY different then how I was raised with my son. I adopted a vegan lifestyle at the end of April of this year and instead of taking my son to a pediatrician or me going to a primary care physician we go to a Functional Medicine doctor. My parents aren't quite on board with all of the decisions I make, but that's ok! God bless YOU for stepping out of the mold of what the majority of people think about when we think of a traditional doctor. I can't imagine the scrutiny you have endured from "traditional" doctors. I just want to encourage you to keep on making these INCREDIBLY informative videos! This is the first one I've watched and it was extremely informative and helpful. I do have one question and pardon me if you have already covered this in another video but can you give me any other advice for helping maintain and prevent any damage to my teeth since adopting the vegan lifestyle? I did notice some tooth decay between my molars on the right side, which is the side of my mouth that I always chew my food with! Lol. Ok, thanks again for creating such an incredible channel. I'm very grateful!!!!
Vegan diets apparently are really bad for your teeth. Please look up Vegan diets and how they destroy teeth. I wouldn't want you to have to go through this unwittingly.
his advise on oral helath is great and quite accurate. one thing to point out is that moderate to severe cavities cannot be reversed but it can be arrested (meaning stopped).
I've been using fluoride free toothpaste and have been filtering it out of my drinking water for almost 20 years now. Still haven't had a single cavity.
I've been oil pulling for a couple months now with good results. I don't even brush as often as I should and dry brush as opposed to using commercial toothpastes. Despite that my teeth have a much cleaner feel than they ever did using regular toothpaste. My chipped tooth got infected which was the main reason I decided to try oil pulling. After a few days the pain in my jaw and tooth went down substantially. Note: Also added one drop of pure and organic clove essential oil with the organic coconut oil. This is far more sound as it is much cheaper than standard treatment. More than that, over use of antibiotics is dangerous for the future and our health. Also, you'd think whenever you use traditional products to clean your teeth and mouth when you have a tooth problem that your teeth would feel better? Guess what? They don't. Isn't that funny?... No it isn't. It's quite annoying to think I could've saved my teeth as well as stress from dental visits and an emptier wallet. So.... anyway.... I'm going to give the dentist another visit after a few more months of oil pulling and we'll see the before and after of the scans... With that.. the people will be the judge of what we know is right for us... We don't need massive studies (studies which can be corrupted by conflicts of interest) to tell us what we already know is true. If someone wants proof chances are that person will never believe a damn thing anyway. Hallelujah y'all.
I use Kerry Gold butter recommended by a book on tooth decay, because it’s grass fed butter and widely available - also Super Alfalfa by Nature’s Way which is a mineral rich plant as well as high in chlorophyll. Also recommend using sea weeds or sea vegetables as they’re called now- very mineral rich. I sprinkle it in soups and salads. Great video Dr Axe, I know others will keep finding this valuable information!👍
I don't know why this info isn't more mainstream. im just now learning this info, and wish I had known years ago before my teeth needed so much work. I just bought Nagels book

@@drjoshaxe I honestly never believed food could be medicine until I ran into your videos. So many doctors these days I've witnessed have given misinformation by only suggesting the traditional conventional methods that either consists some prescription and chemicals that are toxic to our body. I just want to say I am so grateful for your compassionate and informational videos. Whenever I have an ailment occur on me or by friends/family, I immediately search if you have a treat/cure video. You get this alot I imagine, but letting you know how you have immensely impacted my life and those around me in eating smarter and healthier, makes me feel less guilty. 😁 Thank you Dr. Axe!
Sea water contains every single naturally occurring element, Seaweeds too. I've been growing crops with natural seaweed extracts, works beautifully! Screw the cynics, try it out. Costs almost nothing!
astridbelge Gelatin should be okay, it's just the sugar in it that's bad. If you use unflavored gelatin and make it with low to no sugar natural fruit juice (i.e., pure cranberry with no sugar) and use stevia to sweeten it should be okay.
Hi, can this remove plaque under the gums to? I have dental appointment for a deep cleaning that I need numbing for that I want to avoid if possible. I suffered bone loss from neglecting my teeth for too long and avoiding dental cleanings for years. Thanks
@@jennymeade8786 probably not. But oil pulling can help with what's going on there as long as you eat right (keto/paleo with no refined carbs and no refined sugar, not even juices). Follow Dr Axe's advice on this.
If my teeth get sensitive at all, I oil pull with coconut oil for a few days and the sensitivity goes away and stays away even if I’m not consistent with it. I formed a cavity in 2006, started oil pulling and applying neem oil to it monthly. It stopped the decay dead in its tracks! 15 years later and I still have a perfectly healthy tooth! I hate that people do not know that the teeth are like little organs and can heal themselves. It dose t make sense the drill/fill a cavity with foreign material. Dentists always say a cavity grows up to be a crown and eventually a root canal.
Please don't attempt at home dentistry! I have seen people suffer from preventable gum disease + tooth decays. Seeing your dentist twice a year (or at least once) is essential. Also, studies have shown that oil pulling is not any more effective than a quick swish with mouthwash. Your at home toothpaste is also not as effective as an otc toothpaste. It might work for a few people but it's going to be very very bad for a lot of people.
Don't spit coconut oil down your drains. Coconut oil solidifies at about 76 degrees. Somewhere in your plumbing system, down the line, it's likely to be less than 76 degrees, especially underground and especially in the winter. You'll gum up your pipes eventually if you spit it down there.
I'm really disappointed that you didn't mention how horrible toothpaste that contains glycerine is. No matter how many minerals you are ingesting, if you're using a toothpaste with glycerine it won't help. Glycerine creates a film over your teeth that can take up to 12 brushings to get off your teeth. The film it creates doesn't allow the minerals in your saliva to re-mineralize your teeth. Using a non-glycerine toothpaste is one of the most important steps a person can make to re-mineralize their teeth. Also diet is very important, and like he said reducing the phytic acids, and sugars in your diet, but the non-glycerine toothpaste is equally as important as diet. One more thing, if you take vitamin D in conjunction with fermented cod liver oil capsule supplements, fat soluble vitamins, and a mineral-rich butter oil supplement (such as green pasture butter oil), you'll get a lot of healing that way as well.
@@tammitamanna2067 nano hydoxyapatite toothpaste ? To fill in/heal small area. "nanoXIM" by Fluidinova. As well all or most of what's in this vid! No glycerine in products (sticky sweet) like above commenter said.
There is no data implicating glycerin impedes remineralization. Just a myth started by a chemist who proposed a hypothesis and did some rather terrible experiments. Products that contain glycerin have been documented to Remineralize teeth effectively, even arrest decay and remineralize the caries lesion. Until someone, somewhere, actually does some research into this topic it doesn't make sense to live in fear of glycerin.
@Aunty Agony Dr. Gerard Judd, professor of chemistry, who elected to do some research in the field of dentistry. He started the glycerin myth based upon observations of research in which he applied pure glycerin to teeth. Mind you, it wasn't peer reviewed. I'm not sure it even got published in a legitimate journal. To date, I've never even seen the study itself, only it's mention on the web in which Dr. Judd claims to have performed an experiment showing glycerin causes this problem. I tried to find citations and research on the topic of glycerin and tooth remin and could not find any examining the topic directly, or indirectly in a fashion one could gain valuable insight. Some of his research was entirely unpublished and unverified by anyone other than himself. Which makes it his word against every published study in existence showing a glycerin based dentifice with an active ca/p/f/nhap/remin agent providing greater remineralization than plain brushing. The few studies I've seen some of the glycerin proponents use were not designed to test for glycerin inhibiting remineralization. All have confounding factors (such as additional additives in a gum balm that lead it to have an acidic ph being used in a patient population not reflective of majority of the population) or circumstances in no way reflective of glycerin being applied in the mouth (submerging bovine teeth in pure glycerin for 8 hours). Dr. Judds assertion that glycerin inhibits remineralization is at best esoteric, and personally I find it to be unqualified. I would quite enjoy for someone to examine this hypothesis by testing tooth powders against a glycerin based paste of the same formula as the tooth powder, but no one has. In fact, there are many unanswered questions regarding the ingredients used in toothpaste and tooth powder, and even Dr. Judds recommendation of bar soap. And to be clear, experiments exist all over the place and remain unpublished and people learn about them because the researcher doing the experiments can share that data however they please: in a conference, in a person to person meeting, or as Dr. Judd did by writing a book with interesting claims and insufficient evidence; his work is more belief than data. How much of that belief might be validated with future research is unknown. There's been over a decade for that occur and it has not. Dental research goes where the money is, and examining glycerin must seem a silly idea to spend resources on to dental researchers. To talk about claims and real world data when it comes to caries and remineralization is...well, real world data: homeless people with terrible hygiene have caries that arrest and remineralize - ask any dentist who works with that populations and they'll tell you they've seen it, especially prisons. Some people don't touch a toothbrush and have no dental problems, while others do it religiously and have plenty. And you'd say, hey it's the GLYCERIN, and I'd say n=1 I tried bar soap per dr judds directions for 8 months and got 3 cavities in spots I never got cavities before... and there are published case studies showing using MI Paste, a ca/p paste based on glycerin, can reverse incipient caries. Caries is a multifactorial disease process involving systems biology. Dr. Judd didn't have the background to understand this. Dr. Judd also was attempting to understand this process in a time in which the data to do so was not available (his work hails from 2001). We've learned a ridiculous amount of information regarding the mouth and body since that time. We now know much of what research indicated in the early 90s and 2000s was incomplete to the point of being erroneous. Caries is a systems biology process. And to those few currently really tuned into how craniofacial growth and development influences human health, current theories on caries are all inadequate to explain it. There's a huge missing puzzle piece involving sleep, breathing, digestion, and the nervous systems which isn't acknowledged in any of the theories on caries.
Some great tips in the video but I'm not sure if it really got the essence of natural dental health across. Sugars and other fermentable carbohydrates don't just attack the teeth and gums from the outside they cause a drop in internal pressure of the dentine inside your teeth which can then weaken the enamel from the inside. Simply brushing or flossing or using mouthwash is only preventing one side of the attack and also destroys any beneficial microbes that might have been present in your mouth. Eating plenty of natural fats is the best way of getting enough fat soluble vitamins without the need for supplements. Things like eggs ,liver, marrow ,fish, fatty dairy and many other fatty foods that we have consumed right up till the war on fat began. I am not a fan of the taste of coconut oil but olive oil works just as well in my experience for oil pulling. Personally I use a lot of Ghee in my cooking and it tastes so much better for oil pulling but since going LCHF a few years ago I don't need to do oil pulling often anymore and my teeth haven't given me any trouble besides the very rare chocolate binge. The fact that oil pulling works so well for so many should be a clue that having fat in your diet is a good thing. I saw only recently that having high levels of large cholesterol is highly correlated to not getting Alzheimer's or other Dementia's. This also has to be a massive clue to dietary health.
Fermented cod liver oil worked wonders for my 4yr old son along with no grains, consuming liverwurst and brushing with charcoal/mineral toothpaste. Amazing what a proper diet can cure.
I oil pull with sesame oil and fresh ground cloves and my gums are healthiest ever and even gum recession is less. My dentist told me to use a flouride tooth paste but I think he may be wrong.
Phytic acid is what’s on the outside of seeds and grains etc it absorbs liquid and pulls nutrients to it from the ground so once you eat it and don’t rinse seeds and grains etc very well then it pulls nutrients from the body.
I was always taught that the primary facilitator of tooth decay is inadequate home care, including brushing after eating and daily flossing. I brush at least twice daily and still have all my teeth in sound condition at age 57, despite drinking a liter of Pepsi a day plus plenty of chocolate.
Haven't tried wheat grass pulling, but I swear by wheat grass for great energy, clear skin, strong immune system and the list goes on. I tried many things, but nothing like that... Although I'm aware it can be very individual what works. Just a little rant 😁
I've noticed many dentists (including my own) say we can't grow new enamel... but at one point in our life, we are a cell, then many cells, then we make our teeth. If our teeth have a blood supply, why couldn't they heal?
Teeth can heal. Enamel has limited healing capacity from surface exchange of ions It's avascular and acellular, so enamel cannot make more enamel. The cementum, dentin, and pulp tissues have limited repair ability. These tissues have cells, and get nourishment from vasculature. They can create reparative tissues.
I wish my local Doctor was like Dr Axe! Thanking you for all your help and support back to optimum health which is ofcourse our divine birth right! A blessing of good health to all ♡
According to Dr. Adiel Tel Oren,the microbiota in your skin is very related to the microbiota in your mouth because they are in close contact,so it may be advisable to use soil based probiotics instead of lactic probiotics
I'm in a bad spot. I'm 17 with 1 tooth already removed. Another one needing a removal too and I'm trying to save whatever I can. My hygiene is bad and I want to fix that. I also have buck teeth that I want fixed. The thing that's stopping me is the money. I don't have a single dime to spend and I'm stuck.
It's a must for you to practice daily oral hygiene. No skipping on brushing and flossing. Watch what you eat. Sweets, foods high in carbs (banana's, dates, rice, etc), acid (coffee, bubbly water, salad dressings with lemon, etc.) promote tooth decay. To reduce the number of tooth decay causing bacteria, consume xylitol in any form (chewing gum, candy, sugar replacement in baking, etc.). All of that will help. I am a dental assistant, btw.
Agree. But wasn't sure if you mentioned a basic daily vitamin? What seems to be really helping my teeth is beef bone broth. Lots of amino acids I seem to need. Lived in Penang, poor dental services, lots of oil pulling, very little processed sugar, though lots of fruit. Also, be careful with medications. Put on one for 5 months, destroyed most of my formerly healthy teeth. A common medication prescribed in the U.S. Get a PDR!
Revelation 13:16 - "It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666." Revelation 18:23 - "The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world’s important people. By your sorcery all the nations were led astray." sorcery = Pharmacia
phytic acid has a specific purpose just like every thing else. timing is the key. the biggest blackhole in us understanding how things work seems to be a disregard for proper timing: appropriateness.
I reversed my cavities and dramatically improved my teeth Heath by ingested diatomaceous earth regularly, gargling with baking soda after every meal and oil pulling.

@ Jay Friedrichs. If you are bleeding 🩸 from flossing, you already have gum disease whether it is gingivitis or periodontitis. The bacteria is already there because you are not keeping things clean by flossing. Please do al little research before giving dental advice that will actually harm people
I’ve ate pretty much anything I wanted. Drank and still drink a lot of milk, but always have brushed, flossed and swish with listerine. Got my 1st cavity when I was 31 3 yrs ago but haven’t had any problems since then
Lucky you! As a kid I had cavities EVERY TIME I went to the dentist. I had my fair share of candy as a kid, but I was always consistent with brushing and flossing. Would you believe I completely stopped eating sweets, started drinking mostly water. I go back to the dentist in my 20s and I’m told I have NEW decay forming around my old fillings in addition to new cavities on un-filled teeth 🙄. Some peoples teeth really are just more prone to decay.
How has that been for your teeth? I did a plant based diet for 2 years, not completely whole food based but many of the foods were horrible for my tooth enamel. Oxalates in foods like spinach and potatoes bind to calcium in your body, phytic acid keeps minerals from being absorbed, citric acid in citrus fruits wears your enamel directly, and the constant digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth feeds the bacteria, streptococcus mutans. This diet you are recommending is probably one of the hardest to do while avoiding tooth decay.
Dental assistant here. After listening to the first few minutes of the talk, I must make a few corrections.1. It's not the excess sugar that causes tooth decay, it's the acid produced by the tooth decay causing bacteria (Lactobaccilus Mutans). The bacteria feed on simple carbohydrates. If you don't have those bacteria, you will not get tooth decay 2. Any acid will eventually cause enamel erosion as calcium is taken from the enamel to neutralise the acidic environment in the mouth. That weakens the tooth. Enamel erosion is not caries 3. Fat soluble vitamins don't have much to do with dental caries. 4. Lack of minerals is not a direct cause of dental caries. As taught in dental assisting school, there are three requirements for dental caries to develop: simple carbs, Lactobaccilus Mutans bacteria, and tooth structure. Remove one component, and there won't be tooth decay.
That’s honestly not that bad for 18 years. I still drink Dr Pepper made with Pure Cane Sugar, but I always coconut oil pull right after and drink a glass of milk. I also take Vitamin K2 supplements & have been eating way more green vegetables. I’m trying to cut back. Only drank 3 Dr Peppers this week. Used to drink 1 every day. Will try to make it a Friday only drink.
love the information, thank you. however, you talk VERY VERY fast!! I would be grateful if you could slow down a little. 😊 thank you, Or to put a summary of the information below. Many thanks. 👍🙂
This all helps but most fast tooth decay is bad bad bugs ! Lyme spirochettes etc ! Oil pulling is a no no if you have silver fillings as it causes mercury to leach into your body . I think more dentists should look under a microscope at what bugs you have !
Best thing for your health is have dentist remove all mercury out of your teeth, it's poisonous and I know I feel so much better after I had it removed
How did u know I had one tooth pulled today. I think u paid the Govt to follow me. I don't eat sugar, i just haven't been to a dentist in 3 years. Thank u!!!!! How come I was never taught. This in HS!
Teeth are such a frustrating subject for me because I never met a dentist who could truly help and give advice holistically. Of course you gotta brush and cut back on sugar and yet I still had difficulty
Or better yet, get the book Cure Tooth Decay. You'll learn that even sprouted grains, soaked nuts and seeds, fruit and honey should be strictly avoided until you get the decay under control
1) Excess sugar: avoid processed sugar 1:33
2) Phytic acid: avoid consuming grains that aren't sprouted or slow-cooked 2:12
3) Load up on minerals: calcium, magnesium, selenium, Iron, phosphorous, silica - either through supplements or mineral-dense foods like sprouted seeds, nuts & vegetables 3:59
4) Take fat-soluble vitamins: Consuming a diet and supplements high in fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, E and especially vitamin D3 and K2. Fatty acids like Omega-3 are great as well 04:54
5) Oil pulling: with coconut oil or sesame oil - 5 to 20 minutes 06:17

Does it help in reversing tooth decay in your case
I’ve been coconut oil pulling the past few months and for the past ten years would always have bloody gums after flossing. Since oil pulling I have no bloody gums. The dental hygientist did my cleaning/ floss and I just couldn’t believe there was only the faintest pink. Usually looks like a blood bath and I couldn’t even taste blood. I would never had believed it if I didn’t get results myself. So I understand people being skeptical but seriously try it for a month and see the difference. I’m happy with results, also got a clean bill of health where I usually get “you need a cavity filled” but no cavities this past visit!
how often do you do it and for how long 🙂

Do you take it in capsules?
That is so great to know. Thank you

I use coconut oil on my teeth every night before bed and wake up with no bad breath or taste. its amazing
How do you use the coconut oil-pulling, brushing with it?
You swish it around in your mouth after you brush?
@@Timetraveler1111MN before you brush. Wait a couple minites before brushing. Tea tree oil toothpaste
I use olive oil,,,
@@seds94 lucky for me I use that toothpaste and do coconut oil pulling
This is crazy. I still have my wisdom teeth at 34. I oil pull often, and knew it was helping, but also couldn't understand why I wasn't septic or why the cavities hadn't spread (4+ years)! Nice to have the facts to support this! Amazing how the body WANTS to heal itself...if only you let it! 🙏🏾
You aren't supposed to have wisdom teeth? Everyone I know has them
@@i-deegamingvideos6016 Not in the US. Orthodontist make their money of just referring you to get them pulled. Which is why I oil pull because I can’t find a dentist who will fill them they all say to get them pulled. One of if not the most lucrative businesses in the US is peoples health.
@@oceanbelow wow, I didn't know that.
I only have the bottom ones, (I'm 29) the upper ones have never come out. The ones that I have literally took over 5 years to fully come out from my gums. I wouldn't want them pulled out. Gambling with people's health is wrong.
I am 74 and it is only couple months ago when I had to remove the last of my wisdom teeth. 😄 For the last 30 years I follow Dr.Weston Price dietary recomendations . He was a dentist who 90 years ago travelled around the world to the most remote places. People there ate only tha local unprocessed foods , had no cavities nor any chronic diseases.
Dr.Axe implements into his recomendations all the principles researched by Dr.Weston Price. 👍 They work !
So you still have cavities?? Are they getting better??
A dentist wanted to do a root canal on my tooth. Told her to pull it. She did but the tooth next to that one turned bad. I was on double antibiotics and none of it worked. Eventually I stumbled across coconut oil pulling. Did it twice a day for 15-20 mins a day. All cavities in my mouth literally vanished. Oil pulling is disgusting to do but it is very powerful and effective 🙌🏼
I have to get back to doing it. I also learned that using wheat grass as a mouthwash is also very powerful for healing mouth issues. These are great options. Thanks for sharing your story.

00:37 “I know this will work with both mild and moderate cavities.”
00:50 “There are really four main causes of tooth decay: too much sugar in your diet, excess physic acid, lack of minerals, and lack of fat soluble vitamins.”
01:18 Excess sugar sitting in your mouth supports tooth decaying bacteria to grow which then eats away at the tooth enamel… and are linked to other health issues such as heart disease.
01:35 The number one thing to do is to remove all processed sugar from your diet. Sweet substitutes: stevia, Manuka or raw local honey ~ maximum 1 Tbsp, or fruit (dried or fresh). Remove maple syrup and whole cane sugar for a time.
02:15 The second thing: Phytic acid which is what binds minerals and vitamins in the foods, is mostly in grain and some in beans, nuts, and seeds, unless one soaks which starts to sprout them (or slow cook them), releasing the minerals and vitamins for absorption. Eat sprouted grain breads, grains, seeds, and nuts.
Note: 02:56 You are what you digest, not what you eat.
03:59 Step three is load up on minerals… Calcium, Magnesium, and Selenium, Iron, Phosphorous, and Silica that you will find in Vegetables, sprouted nuts and seeds, meats, raw cheeses, and other sheep and goat dairy. Probiotics help with mineral absorption.
4:54 And last, consume a diet high in fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, K, and E. Consume foods that are orange and green.
One thing Dr. Axe did not talk about is GLYPHOSATE in our food! EVIL has found a way to spray most of our food with GLYPHOSATE (Round-Up) before harvest to kill the whole crop at the same time! They call it a drying agent! It's criminal and a crime against humanity! The people behind this practice should be executed! GLYPHOSATE (Round-Up) in parts per million kill all your gut bacteria! Your gut is your second BRAIN. GLYPHOSATE (Round-Up) prevents your body from absorbing vitamins and minerals! How do you think Big Pharma sells drugs? You have to have sick people! How do you get more sick people to sell your product (DRUGS) to? Well you POISON them at every meal! All non-organic grains and beans and even cane sugar are sprayed with GLYPHOSATE (Round-Up)! That is why we should only eat ORGANIC food! I highly recommend you shop at the local farmers market and try to grow your own food if you have the space. If enough people start to buy only ORGANIC food this evil practice will go away! Please pray for an awaking of the general public! Tell everyone you know!
Thanks!
Cannot say anything about cavities. But I can say people noticed how naturally white my teeth were after using oil pulling. I highly recommend it!
Oil pull one tablespoon of coconut oil for 20 minutes = Fresh breath for 36 - 48 hrs.
@cee lee simple...swish a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes. Spit it outside or in the garbage when finished though or it hardens and can clog drains.
olive oil can also be used.I actually got results using olive oil ,but none with the coconut oil.
@@kingviper21dazz7 no.pure ,organic,unrefined coconut or olive oil.
@Taiwo Omotosho Why oregano?
I cut out sugar and alcohol and nuts. I eat oysters, grass fed butter, liver (in pate), eggs, shellfish and bone broth and lots of vegetables, this fixed my bleeding gums in 2-3 months.
Oil pulling starts at 6:30
My daughter had the beginnings of a cavity in one of her back teeth, I began to brush it with coconut oil each night, it went away fairly quickly.
@Idm idc I don’t remember, maybe a week or so? I just did it every night until it went away. Probably 1-2weeks
Did you use brush with only the oil or add it to toothpaste?
@Idm idc Thnx but it's for a child.
So after a few days that chunk of chocolate got brushed away! Cool!
Take care of your teeth kids!! Thanks Doc
I feel so incredibly BLESSED to come across your channel!! The United States needs more doctors just like you! It's so sad that so many physicians base their decisions on which medications to prescribe their patients because they will get a kick back from the pharmaceutical rep they are working with. I was in medical sales before I became a stay at home mom and that job really opened my eyes to a whole other side to health care that I never knew existed. Today, I am trying to do things TOTALLY different then how I was raised with my son. I adopted a vegan lifestyle at the end of April of this year and instead of taking my son to a pediatrician or me going to a primary care physician we go to a Functional Medicine doctor. My parents aren't quite on board with all of the decisions I make, but that's ok! God bless YOU for stepping out of the mold of what the majority of people think about when we think of a traditional doctor. I can't imagine the scrutiny you have endured from "traditional" doctors. I just want to encourage you to keep on making these INCREDIBLY informative videos! This is the first one I've watched and it was extremely informative and helpful. I do have one question and pardon me if you have already covered this in another video but can you give me any other advice for helping maintain and prevent any damage to my teeth since adopting the vegan lifestyle? I did notice some tooth decay between my molars on the right side, which is the side of my mouth that I always chew my food with! Lol. Ok, thanks again for creating such an incredible channel. I'm very grateful!!!!

THANKS FOR THE TIP!
Why oregano?
@@brianheath5091 Because it's antibacterial. Tea tree oil would likely work similarly.
I’m going to try this!
his advise on oral helath is great and quite accurate. one thing to point out is that moderate to severe cavities cannot be reversed but it can be arrested (meaning stopped).
are you a dentist?
+Alexandra P yes
Edwin Kwon so minor cavities can be? Have you seen it happen?
If they are moderate or severe. What are the options?
Damn. He listed the 4 problems and I'm guilty of all four - no wonder my teeth want to come out.
Randomness first step is to stop all juice and pop consumption. Drink only plain water. Unsweetened tea is fine too.
Your teeth are jumping outta your mouth!
😂🤣
Randomness no worries, that’s a thing of the past now.
Well who knew about Ezekiel bread before now? A lot of things are not known until later in life.
I've been using fluoride free toothpaste and have been filtering it out of my drinking water for almost 20 years now. Still haven't had a single cavity.
What’s your diet like?
What is the brand name of the toothpaste?
Trader Joes has a great fluoride free toothpaste
John Bishop, that’s great to hear as fluoride is a class 6 neurotoxin.
@@Jewlz4ever exactly, fluoride as a beneficial substance is a complete myth/hoax
I've been oil pulling for a couple months now with good results.
I don't even brush as often as I should and dry brush as opposed to using commercial toothpastes. Despite that my teeth have a much cleaner feel than they ever did using regular toothpaste.
My chipped tooth got infected which was the main reason I decided to try oil pulling. After a few days the pain in my jaw and tooth went down substantially. Note: Also added one drop of pure and organic clove essential oil with the organic coconut oil.
This is far more sound as it is much cheaper than standard treatment. More than that, over use of antibiotics is dangerous for the future and our health.
Also, you'd think whenever you use traditional products to clean your teeth and mouth when you have a tooth problem that your teeth would feel better? Guess what? They don't. Isn't that funny?... No it isn't. It's quite annoying to think I could've saved my teeth as well as stress from dental visits and an emptier wallet.
So.... anyway.... I'm going to give the dentist another visit after a few more months of oil pulling and we'll see the before and after of the scans...
With that.. the people will be the judge of what we know is right for us...
We don't need massive studies (studies which can be corrupted by conflicts of interest) to tell us what we already know is true.
If someone wants proof chances are that person will never believe a damn thing anyway.
Hallelujah y'all.

I use Kerry Gold butter recommended by a book on tooth decay, because it’s grass fed butter and widely available - also Super Alfalfa by Nature’s Way which is a mineral rich plant as well as high in chlorophyll.
Also recommend using sea weeds or sea vegetables as they’re called now- very mineral rich. I sprinkle it in soups and salads.

Honey and sweet fruits can also cause cavities. It depends on how much you use and your individual tolerance.
Sea vegetables like nori seaweed for example are some of the greatest sources of minerals you can take on earth.
Not true
I've recently started using seamoss.
This is very true!
Sea water contains every single naturally occurring element, Seaweeds too. I've been growing crops with natural seaweed extracts, works beautifully! Screw the cynics, try it out. Costs almost nothing!
I try to avoid seafood due to neurodegenerative disease risk.
I stopped brown rice, started taking gelatin, and my intense tooth pain stopped overnight
astridbelge Gelatin should be okay, it's just the sugar in it that's bad. If you use unflavored gelatin and make it with low to no sugar natural fruit juice (i.e., pure cranberry with no sugar) and use stevia to sweeten it should be okay.
I have a bottle of bovine tracheal cartilage. I wonder if that has similar properties as the gelatin.
Your tooth pain could have stopped because the root completely died.

@@jennymeade8786 probably not. But oil pulling can help with what's going on there as long as you eat right (keto/paleo with no refined carbs and no refined sugar, not even juices). Follow Dr Axe's advice on this.
Joy, You should sell it. Let me when you do. 👍
If my teeth get sensitive at all, I oil pull with coconut oil for a few days and the sensitivity goes away and stays away even if I’m not consistent with it. I formed a cavity in 2006, started oil pulling and applying neem oil to it monthly. It stopped the decay dead in its tracks! 15 years later and I still have a perfectly healthy tooth! I hate that people do not know that the teeth are like little organs and can heal themselves. It dose t make sense the drill/fill a cavity with foreign material. Dentists always say a cavity grows up to be a crown and eventually a root canal.
Please don't attempt at home dentistry! I have seen people suffer from preventable gum disease + tooth decays. Seeing your dentist twice a year (or at least once) is essential. Also, studies have shown that oil pulling is not any more effective than a quick swish with mouthwash. Your at home toothpaste is also not as effective as an otc toothpaste. It might work for a few people but it's going to be very very bad for a lot of people.
dentists be like: "wait, that's illegal!"
Not quite "illegal"

Don't spit coconut oil down your drains. Coconut oil solidifies at about 76 degrees.
Somewhere in your plumbing system, down the line, it's likely to be less than 76 degrees, especially underground and especially in the winter. You'll gum up your pipes eventually if you spit it down there.
I'm really disappointed that you didn't mention how horrible toothpaste that contains glycerine is. No matter how many minerals you are ingesting, if you're using a toothpaste with glycerine it won't help. Glycerine creates a film over your teeth that can take up to 12 brushings to get off your teeth. The film it creates doesn't allow the minerals in your saliva to re-mineralize your teeth. Using a non-glycerine toothpaste is one of the most important steps a person can make to re-mineralize their teeth. Also diet is very important, and like he said reducing the phytic acids, and sugars in your diet, but the non-glycerine toothpaste is equally as important as diet. One more thing, if you take vitamin D in conjunction with fermented cod liver oil capsule supplements, fat soluble vitamins, and a mineral-rich butter oil supplement (such as green pasture butter oil), you'll get a lot of healing that way as well.

Maelui Yumiko . This is a new one for me , I didn’t know there is glycerin in toothpaste and that it was bad for teeth. Thank you
There is no data implicating glycerin impedes remineralization. Just a myth started by a chemist who proposed a hypothesis and did some rather terrible experiments. Products that contain glycerin have been documented to Remineralize teeth effectively, even arrest decay and remineralize the caries lesion. Until someone, somewhere, actually does some research into this topic it doesn't make sense to live in fear of glycerin.
@Aunty Agony Dr. Gerard Judd, professor of chemistry, who elected to do some research in the field of dentistry. He started the glycerin myth based upon observations of research in which he applied pure glycerin to teeth. Mind you, it wasn't peer reviewed. I'm not sure it even got published in a legitimate journal. To date, I've never even seen the study itself, only it's mention on the web in which Dr. Judd claims to have performed an experiment showing glycerin causes this problem. I tried to find citations and research on the topic of glycerin and tooth remin and could not find any examining the topic directly, or indirectly in a fashion one could gain valuable insight.
Some of his research was entirely unpublished and unverified by anyone other than himself. Which makes it his word against every published study in existence showing a glycerin based dentifice with an active ca/p/f/nhap/remin agent providing greater remineralization than plain brushing. The few studies I've seen some of the glycerin proponents use were not designed to test for glycerin inhibiting remineralization. All have confounding factors (such as additional additives in a gum balm that lead it to have an acidic ph being used in a patient population not reflective of majority of the population) or circumstances in no way reflective of glycerin being applied in the mouth (submerging bovine teeth in pure glycerin for 8 hours). Dr. Judds assertion that glycerin inhibits remineralization is at best esoteric, and personally I find it to be unqualified. I would quite enjoy for someone to examine this hypothesis by testing tooth powders against a glycerin based paste of the same formula as the tooth powder, but no one has. In fact, there are many unanswered questions regarding the ingredients used in toothpaste and tooth powder, and even Dr. Judds recommendation of bar soap.
And to be clear, experiments exist all over the place and remain unpublished and people learn about them because the researcher doing the experiments can share that data however they please: in a conference, in a person to person meeting, or as Dr. Judd did by writing a book with interesting claims and insufficient evidence; his work is more belief than data. How much of that belief might be validated with future research is unknown. There's been over a decade for that occur and it has not. Dental research goes where the money is, and examining glycerin must seem a silly idea to spend resources on to dental researchers.
To talk about claims and real world data when it comes to caries and remineralization is...well, real world data: homeless people with terrible hygiene have caries that arrest and remineralize - ask any dentist who works with that populations and they'll tell you they've seen it, especially prisons. Some people don't touch a toothbrush and have no dental problems, while others do it religiously and have plenty. And you'd say, hey it's the GLYCERIN, and I'd say n=1 I tried bar soap per dr judds directions for 8 months and got 3 cavities in spots I never got cavities before... and there are published case studies showing using MI Paste, a ca/p paste based on glycerin, can reverse incipient caries.
Caries is a multifactorial disease process involving systems biology. Dr. Judd didn't have the background to understand this. Dr. Judd also was attempting to understand this process in a time in which the data to do so was not available (his work hails from 2001). We've learned a ridiculous amount of information regarding the mouth and body since that time. We now know much of what research indicated in the early 90s and 2000s was incomplete to the point of being erroneous. Caries is a systems biology process. And to those few currently really tuned into how craniofacial growth and development influences human health, current theories on caries are all inadequate to explain it. There's a huge missing puzzle piece involving sleep, breathing, digestion, and the nervous systems which isn't acknowledged in any of the theories on caries.
You rock. Thank you so much for this information.

Vitamin K2 specifically is the big mineral for teeth.
Floss and clean your teeth right after eating starchy food (grains) will help a lot.
Some great tips in the video but I'm not sure if it really got the essence of natural dental health across. Sugars and other fermentable carbohydrates don't just attack the teeth and gums from the outside they cause a drop in internal pressure of the dentine inside your teeth which can then weaken the enamel from the inside. Simply brushing or flossing or using mouthwash is only preventing one side of the attack and also destroys any beneficial microbes that might have been present in your mouth. Eating plenty of natural fats is the best way of getting enough fat soluble vitamins without the need for supplements. Things like eggs ,liver, marrow ,fish, fatty dairy and many other fatty foods that we have consumed right up till the war on fat began. I am not a fan of the taste of coconut oil but olive oil works just as well in my experience for oil pulling. Personally I use a lot of Ghee in my cooking and it tastes so much better for oil pulling but since going LCHF a few years ago I don't need to do oil pulling often anymore and my teeth haven't given me any trouble besides the very rare chocolate binge. The fact that oil pulling works so well for so many should be a clue that having fat in your diet is a good thing. I saw only recently that having high levels of large cholesterol is highly correlated to not getting Alzheimer's or other Dementia's. This also has to be a massive clue to dietary health.
Glen 0 thanks for the info hun!
Fermented cod liver oil worked wonders for my 4yr old son along with no grains, consuming liverwurst and brushing with charcoal/mineral toothpaste. Amazing what a proper diet can cure.

And you did this treatment and they all regrew again huh ?
Amazing !
Phytic acid is what’s on the outside of seeds and grains etc it absorbs liquid and pulls nutrients to it from the ground so once you eat it and don’t rinse seeds and grains etc very well then it pulls nutrients from the body.

I've noticed many dentists (including my own) say we can't grow new enamel...
but at one point in our life, we are a cell, then many cells, then we make our teeth.
If our teeth have a blood supply, why couldn't they heal?
Teeth can heal. Enamel has limited healing capacity from surface exchange of ions It's avascular and acellular, so enamel cannot make more enamel. The cementum, dentin, and pulp tissues have limited repair ability. These tissues have cells, and get nourishment from vasculature. They can create reparative tissues.
NEVER GET MERCURY FILLINGS (aka silver fillings)

It's a must for you to practice daily oral hygiene. No skipping on brushing and flossing. Watch what you eat. Sweets, foods high in carbs (banana's, dates, rice, etc), acid (coffee, bubbly water, salad dressings with lemon, etc.) promote tooth decay. To reduce the number of tooth decay causing bacteria, consume xylitol in any form (chewing gum, candy, sugar replacement in baking, etc.). All of that will help. I am a dental assistant, btw.

Revelation 13:16 - "It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666."

Flossing is bad for you. When you leave your gums bleeding there’s plenty of room for bacteria to flow systemically and cause problems
@ Jay Friedrichs. If you are bleeding 🩸 from flossing, you already have gum disease whether it is gingivitis or periodontitis. The bacteria is already there because you are not keeping things clean by flossing. Please do al little research before giving dental advice that will actually harm people
I’ve ate pretty much anything I wanted. Drank and still drink a lot of milk, but always have brushed, flossed and swish with listerine. Got my 1st cavity when I was 31 3 yrs ago but haven’t had any problems since then
Genetics. I know people like this. Their whole family the same. Lucky you.
@@ioodyssey3740 your probably right
Lucky you! As a kid I had cavities EVERY TIME I went to the dentist. I had my fair share of candy as a kid, but I was always consistent with brushing and flossing. Would you believe I completely stopped eating sweets, started drinking mostly water. I go back to the dentist in my 20s and I’m told I have NEW decay forming around my old fillings in addition to new cavities on un-filled teeth 🙄. Some peoples teeth really are just more prone to decay.
@@covegirl06 ah man that sucks haha. Wish you better days ahead
Also great to rinse with baking soda water after eating to neutralize the acids from foods.
Just love your videos Dr.Axe.I learned so much from it also you helped me to heal my gut with your book.You saved my life.God bless you!
What gut,,, leaky gut,,?
Really loving the channel. Thanks for the tips. Love it.
I really hope you look into the wonders of a whole food plant based diet.
How has that been for your teeth? I did a plant based diet for 2 years, not completely whole food based but many of the foods were horrible for my tooth enamel. Oxalates in foods like spinach and potatoes bind to calcium in your body, phytic acid keeps minerals from being absorbed, citric acid in citrus fruits wears your enamel directly, and the constant digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth feeds the bacteria, streptococcus mutans. This diet you are recommending is probably one of the hardest to do while avoiding tooth decay.
a real doctor ...
Dental assistant here. After listening to the first few minutes of the talk, I must make a few corrections.1. It's not the excess sugar that causes tooth decay, it's the acid produced by the tooth decay causing bacteria (Lactobaccilus Mutans). The bacteria feed on simple carbohydrates. If you don't have those bacteria, you will not get tooth decay 2. Any acid will eventually cause enamel erosion as calcium is taken from the enamel to neutralise the acidic environment in the mouth. That weakens the tooth. Enamel erosion is not caries 3. Fat soluble vitamins don't have much to do with dental caries. 4. Lack of minerals is not a direct cause of dental caries. As taught in dental assisting school, there are three requirements for dental caries to develop: simple carbs, Lactobaccilus Mutans bacteria, and tooth structure. Remove one component, and there won't be tooth decay.
I do not eat simple carbs for 15 years, but still getting caries . what is wrong with me?
18 years of drinking soda and deep depression caused me to not take care of my oral health . 2 cavities now at 30 years old .
That’s honestly not that bad for 18 years. I still drink Dr Pepper made with Pure Cane Sugar, but I always coconut oil pull right after and drink a glass of milk. I also take Vitamin K2 supplements & have been eating way more green vegetables. I’m trying to cut back. Only drank 3 Dr Peppers this week. Used to drink 1 every day. Will try to make it a Friday only drink.
Oh, one more thing- I LOVE Ezekiel bread 👱🏼♀️👌🏻
How do eat it? Kinda dry...
Should toast it
Todays wheat is poison. Destroys your gut.
love the information, thank you. however, you talk VERY VERY fast!! I would be grateful if you could slow down a little. 😊 thank you, Or to put a summary of the information below. Many thanks. 👍🙂
This all helps but most fast tooth decay is bad bad bugs ! Lyme spirochettes etc ! Oil pulling is a no no if you have silver fillings as it causes mercury to leach into your body . I think more dentists should look under a microscope at what bugs you have !
I want to try oil pulling but I do have silver fillings. What can I do?
Best thing for your health is have dentist remove all mercury out of your teeth, it's poisonous and I know I feel so much better after I had it removed
How did u know I had one tooth pulled today. I think u paid the Govt to follow me. I don't eat sugar, i just haven't been to a dentist in 3 years. Thank u!!!!! How come I was never taught. This in HS!
What is a good multi mineral supplement?
Teeth are such a frustrating subject for me because I never met a dentist who could truly help and give advice holistically. Of course you gotta brush and cut back on sugar and yet I still had difficulty
Meet with a holistic dentist near you like I did. I got a ton of information on teeth that conventional dentists never taught me.
Or better yet, get the book Cure Tooth Decay. You'll learn that even sprouted grains, soaked nuts and seeds, fruit and honey should be strictly avoided until you get the decay under control
Why?
Did you heal anything with that info?
Xylitol and black walnut apparently work wonders too!
Wow this was intersting! It may cut down on the dentist bill too!!!
Thanks for the great information. What a blessing!
"Flossing is OKAY".....???? Flossing is more important than brushing!!
Flossing is super important! I simply want to share other ways you can improve your oral health! Thanks for your comment, Sandra!
