Have you considered that the acid sensitivity is as simple as the basicity of hydroxide vs the basicity of fluoride? going from pH 6 to pH 5, you'd see a 10x drop in hydroxide concentration, thus reducing the amount available to remineralize into hydroxapatite. fluoride, however, is a weak base and won't start to protonate until the pH drops below 4ish (given that the pKa of HF is around 3).
Yea, what I learned from the feedback to this video is that I don't remember my pchem fundamentals NEARLY as well as I remember my biochem fundamentals. I bit off more than I could chew--completely forgot to mention pKa in this ENTIRE video, and instead of a real paper, my primary source was an article funded by a toothpaste company. Complete scripting disaster from back to front. This video is _close_ to accurate--but not close enough. However, I really like your comment because it summarizes the problems with my script really well. So, if you're cool with it--I'm pinning this comment.
After this video I got a lot more fact checking support from my network, specifically my community over a the Biocord discord server. Maybe after I crack open my pchem textbook a few more times I'll dip back into videos like this--but definitely not for a while. There are enough proteins for me to write about without reaching too far into the fields I don't remember enough.
Chemistry of aqueous solutions! :DDDDD
Definitely the most detailed video on chemistry behind it on RUclips. Does anyone have suggestions as to where one should look to read on scientific papers on this topic. I'm doing a research project on Le Chatelier, equilibrium, pH...I need chemical equations regarding products and reactants, acids and bases, conjugate acids and conjugate bases...does anyone have a link with detailed info on this?
Could you elaborate Morgan......
The 'glorious clockwork' eh'? I can even see how one eyed ,color blind, and dead the lens you look at this living universe is from the PowerPoint thing. I kant even rn, Humen. ✌
I am a dentist and stumbled upon this post. Let me say that you did a wonderful job. Like one of the other correspondence, I too grabbed a toothbrush and brushed my teeth after viewing this post. You did ask for corrections and clarifications which is most commendable and thus I assume you follow scientific principles of getting things right. I ran this by a dental materials PhD. Here is his assessment of your explanation: "Apart from it being somewhat inaccurate, the topic is well presented. Fluoride has an anti-cavity effect, and the epidemiological evidence is good. However nobody knows precisely how or why it works. The solubility differences mentioned in the post is minute (x0.6). Fluoroapatite is not formed - CaF2 is. The solubility ratio is constant over a large pH range, and there is NO switch point: it is an artifact of bad data plotting and analysis. Do it right and the illusion vanishes. Tooth mineral is not Hydroxyapatite, but a biological apatite with many important differences. Remineralization is not actually true.
The fact is, it is an embarrassment to the folks that work on fluoride that they cannot explain the exact mechanism.
However we do know with great certainty that fluoride does reduce tooth decay and is safe in therapeutic doses."
Please note that I offer this as a constructive critique. I highly regard the manner with which you attempt to explain difficult and complex biological concepts in an understandable fashion for the lay public. Keep up the good work.
I am a retired dental hygiene educator. I am working on a presentation for nutrition students on oral health as it relates to cariology, dietary counseling and saliva testing. In preparation I've been viewing a lot of videos lately and THIS is short, to the point, simplified science and awesome for visual learners. Thank you so much!
Indeed. I loved the way this video conveyed the importance of balance

As a fellow biochemist, I love how you explain this stuff great job cant wait to see you make more!
This was so fascinating and the animation is really beautiful. Amazing video - can't wait to see your next one!
I’m glad you mention that over-fluoridated water can be toxic; while we know it to strengthen teeth, I‘d like to know more about what happens when it’s ingested.
3years on…
Taking the “drug” prescribed by municipal water districts (do they have a license to practice medicine…!) systemically (internally) affects only your teeth and has no impact whatsoever on your soft tissues organs or any other part of your body…
Trust me, I am a scientist.
Butcher…
It's a neurotoxin and an adjuvant for other heavy metals. Half the fluoride ingested stays in your body building up.
Your modesty and sense of humor make this already fascinating video even more lovable.
Amazing video, this explanation makes a lot of sense and I like the message in the end. Looking forward to your next video!
Coming from a biochem grad student, this channel is awesome!! Keep up the great work!
so the exact mechanism of fluoride in tooth Health has been kind of an imponderable for me. this morning I finally decided to look on some RUclips videos for answers. I was very impressed with the angle you take and describing the processes and understanding that the limits of your personal knowledge are not bounded and open to review as well as editing from your peers. good job!
Gorgeous video, loved the final message
Amazing! Thanks for this video. It’s so easy to understand and learn about the different parts of the body. Can’t wait for your next video!! xx
That was fun to listen to. Thank you for compounding knowledge.
This was a great video! I just got my first huge cavity a week ago--dentist appointment is next week--and so I've been on an education binge on what to do to help treat it. You are exactly right that most coverage of the effects of fluoride end at just saying "do it, it makes your teeth stronger". That infuriates me to no end! I wanted to know WHY it works, and your video did an excellent job of clearing it up. I truly appreciate the work you put in, I'll be subscribing for sure!
I recently learned about xylitol ,after every meal or drink ,use a xylitol gum ,balls or pearls
Amazing. Subscribing a minute in, because this is just so good.
Banging video. Made me brush teeth instantly. Subbed
Excellent content! Well done!
here before this channel becomes the next kurzgesagt ;)
It didn't
He stop making video 2 year ago so sadly it will never be the next kurzgesagt
Edit: He is making a season 2 it might aswell be the next kurzgesagt
Kurzgesagt, or less commonly known but technically still valid, “in a nutshell,” does not deal with biochemistry. So they could coexist. Also he may have ran out of topics, at which point he would need suggestions

Earned a sub, great video.
Briefly about fluorine: the fluorine atom is small enough and has the highest electronegativity. As a result of the formation of bonds, the electron that took the fluorine is very close to the nucleus, and the screening effect is minimal. Therefore, it is much more difficult to expel fluorine from apatite than the hydroxyl group.
So good quality!
Love this. Thank you!
No--thank YOU for taking the time to reach out!
very good just what I was looking for thankyou
This channel is finna blow up
great video!
Such an amazing show
Thanks for the info ! 👍 your very humble dude it's refreshing ✌
This is gold
Great Channel!
Can see why John Green gave this a recommendation

I have a tooth that needs root canal and periodontal pockets. Every time I use fluoride toothpaste I get severe pain and inflammation, this doesn’t happen when using fluoride free toothpaste ever
maybe you are allergic?
Use your brain and put 2 and 2 together. Or listen to your body.
this video was fucking great! solid information and well spoken!
First of all thank you for this useful presentation I really enjoyed the chemistry part but around fluoride may cause damage or discolored your teeth it may cause that if someones receive excessive fluoride systematically during tooth development stages so excessive fluoride in your mouth do not cause discoloration unless you swallow it at time where tooth are in develop stage before they erupt
as a dentist, this is amazing. well done
thank you i learned alot from ur video .. would like to ask if u have topic related to fluorosis .. could u talk about it why we get the white yellow spot related to fluoride consumtion. thank u
Привет из Беларуси спасибо за это видео!
Wow awesome guy awesome script... Great
I use miswak never had toothpain since.
Hi from Vert Dider!
Dental health is power💪
Best biochem channel right now. Perfect animation, informative and just, so sexy. This will blow up soon.
A huge thanks to the person who shared this video on reddit
Could you cite any research that indicates or proves that ingesting the specific type of fluoride that we drink in our tap water? Also why did you seem to imply that it's the same kind that's in our toothpaste?
What about streptococcus salivarius m18?
Could other ions (strontium, chloride, heck- uranium theoretically) be used to replace the OH in apatite for an even more acid-resistant matrix than fluoride? Why don’t we use other ions besides fluoride?
Because we now know nano-mhap is much more safe and fast and nice than F.
Because fluoride is the best.
You can use chloride to make clorapatite but that is weaker than hydroxyapatite. Hypothetically you could use bromine or any other halogen too but that would be even worse.
Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic, it pulls together those ions because it really wants their electrons. That’s just it.

03:35 is posible to make this font smaller?

Has this channel finally been blessed by the almighty algorithm? I hope he starts uploading again!
It bothers me how the woman is brushing her teeth incorrectly with that electric toothbrush!!
Так поддержал канал, осталось выучить английский. Спасибо vert dider за перевод
No more videos :( ?
Your website links say Website Expired
I never brushed with toothpaste before, lol i guess i should start doing that
U could have explained why stannous fluoride works so much better than sodium fluoride.
So why not use Hydroxyapatite toothpaste instead of Fluoride?
Hydroxyapatite is a crystal, how are they going to put that in a tube?
@@Nxck2440grind it up into a fine powder and add it to the liquid mix
What if you don't eat carbs and eat lets say, meat instead?
I wonder if the fluoride has to be applied topically for fluorapatite formation, or whether there is also some mechanism whereby ingested fluoride is transported from the digestive system back to the mouth. It seems like this is part of the claim of water fluoridation advocates
Water fluoridation has never been about improving your health.
many yt vdo about whitening teeth using vinegar, baking soda, etc....
wonder what damage they would cause to teeth?
Does fluoridated water turn your teeth yellow over time?
no the quantity of fluoride in both tape water and toothpaste have no harm on your teeth and your health
6:20 me too I cant find a definitive answer
naaaaaooo so tem 12 videos nesse canal 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I wonder about fluoride in toothpaste, I feel just not eating sugary foods would be better.
From Vert Dider.
Are u a researcher?
Got here from a Corporis video : )
hell yea friend--thanks for letting me know! Hope this channel someday catches up to him in quality!
A customer cured is a customer lost, just remember that.
I'm not American, so this doesn't apply
skip to 0:45 to get to the actual topic.
my real question is not why fluorine is better but more why didnt our body already got fluorine there. Well I guess it doesnt like dealing with fluorine because fluorine is... a bit mean.
Btw, if you ever wondered what video would be able to make your type of content blow up. In my experience, it would be something connected with reproducing. It's just a kind of trend I noticed in the most popular RUclips channels of this thematic. Just an observation.

спасибо за полезную информацию. подача отличная! привет из России))
Is flouride good for my teeth or not please just someone answer and help me
Yeah it’s good for you’re teeth 🙃 Like everything it’s good in moderation, most places in the world don’t have too much fluoride
Fluoride is a neurotoxin, and a waste product of heavy industry. None of it in any quantity is good for you.
Hello from Kazakhstan. Good lack to your channel
2024 comeback???
Only Calcium Fluoride strengthens and protects teeth not the industrial version Sodium Fluoride!
There is no safe minimum dose of elemental Fluoride!
I suggest redoing the video after more research.
fluorapatite causes differential erosion of teeth which then further quickly erodes the hydroxyapatite sections of your mouth
Drink carbonated things, even water through a straw & chew gum often.
6:21 for someone who supposedly loves learning, please learn how to use “begs the question” correctly. It’s a huge red flag when people who are trying to convey information use this phrase in a completely inapplicable way.
It has more than one definition. It's not just the rhetorical fallacy. From the OED: 1. (of a fact or action) raise a question or point that has not been dealt with; invite an obvious question.
@@makego Cite your reference.
The fluoride will make the dentin in the tooth become brittle and will make it easier to snap the tooth. If you stop consuming sugar and high levels of carbs you won't have to worry about the acid from bacteria decaying the teeth. A good alternative for tooth paste is pure olive oil soap, flossing, hydrogen peroxide, mouthwash, and 40-75% ethanol right after consuming food.
I use a homemade toothpaste of coconut oil, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and clove oil. Stuff makes my teeth feel pristine.
