When a team of archeologists recently came across some 15,000-year-old human remains, they made an interesting discovery: the teeth of those ancient humans were riddled with holes. So what causes cavities, and how can we avoid them? Mel Rosenberg takes us inside our teeth to find out.
Lesson by Mel Rosenberg, animation by Andrew Foerster.
the animation on this video was so cool
Olivia Graham yeah the animation is great!!!
good 4 u
ikr
the thing is i eat more then five pounds of candy about a week i have never had a cavity
Ikr I love it.
If we told kids cavities were caused by bacteria poop from eating sugar more people would take it serious.
So your saying that it's fake??

@@arinsinplayz4781 no, its that people can't (aren't willing to) sacrifice sugar for a healthy mouth
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
it's so hard nowadays to find foods low in processed sugars that it pisses me off. we blame individuals for not cutting down on sugar when we really need to put pressure on big companies to stop loading their food products with sugar.
It's not hard? Fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds,etc. ? Don't have processed sugar in them..... Comeon mate
@@tanvikhare9710 but some of those are causes of cavity too
I wanted to cut off sugar for weeks now but it's really hard when everything has sugar in it, like hot sauce, like seriously!? Why would you need sugar in hot sauce?
@@tanvikhare9710 I agree. Fruit has sugar, but if you rinse your mouth after eating it, (and brush and floss) that shouldn't be a problem. Some fruit like dates which are unusually sticky might require flossing and brushing right after eating them. Some fruit like citrus which is very acidic may soften enamel, so rinsing and then waiting an hour before brushing is recommended.
Everything has sugar it pisses me off too,,,
I am very grateful that my mother taught me to brush my teeth regularly. It became a habit and I do it every evening before I go to sleep without exceptions. I am 20 years old now and I’m proud that I don’t have any cavities or tartar and all my teeth are healthy. 😁

Sugar has nothing to do with cavities, actually -- it's one of the biggest lies the ClA fed to the general public.
It's animals products and meats that cause cavities fast, and dairy products such as cheese/dairy products cause cavities faster than meats and eggs. But, a plant-based diet does not cause cavities... At least, in my case, my plant-based diet (which does include a lot of sugary foods and sodas) didn't cause any new cavities over the past decade, and I haven't even brushed daily since 2015!
In my case, not brushing my teeth for 3 to 5 months hasn't caused any changes, and I haven't noticed any new cavity forming since 2011 when I ditched all animal products, as it's meats/eggs/dairy products that cause cavities and gum infections -- I'm the pure being aka the opposite of womyn, so I never even had smeIIs (I have no smeIIs) and that makes brushing every day pointless for me, and, I also don't like the taste of toothpaste, and brushing 3 times a day is definitely too much, but my protector recommended that I brush every week at least, just to be sure it won't affect my teeth...
I consumed more sweets/sugar than anyone over the past decade, and I stopped brushing daily over 6 years ago, but, my teeth haven't gotten any new cavities since I ditched dairy products and eggs... The typical soda also does not seem to be causing any damage to my teeth -- but Cola might cause damage, as it contains phosphoric acid, but I only drink Cola occasionally, and I prefer Green Cola because it's a healthy alternative to Cola... I always check my teeth to see if there's any new cavity forming, though -- luckily, there doesn't seem to be any new one forming, while the ones I already had (caused by dairy since 2006 to summer 2011 when I ate a lot of dairy products and brushing daily) haven't changed at all since 2011...
I am proud to be a dentist. My recommendations are:
1- Monitor your sugar intake .
2- Brushing your teeth at night is the most crucial element for a healthy, functioning teeth or at the least rinse with water/mouthwash.
1- Flossing is used mostly to get rid off the food debris between the teeth which can cause caries and gingivitis. Some people will be more susceptible to caries rather than gingivitis. It depends on the type of food you eat, whether it's sugar or non-sugar food.
2- I always stress on the non-chemical approached to keep our teeth healthy. Brushing your teeth with the right technique specially at night is the key to a life-long healthy teeth. You can miss your day brushing but don't be lazy to brush them at night.
Mouthwash can be added if you suffer from a long duration gum disease, if that the case, you have to see a local dentist. He probably will perform a procedure - of removing hard material that deposits on the teeth for a long time - called Scaling. Mouthwash will be prescribed after this procedure for 10 days only, so whether it's alcoholic or non-alcoholic it doesn't matter.
Extra-advice:
Clean the tongue with the brush or with a tongue scrapper which is better, because the tongue is mainly responsible for the bad smell at the morning. As food debris is broken down by the bacteria in the tongue to form a volatile compound causing this bad smell.
hey,this is just a guy with 8 cavities,one of them being canal.i had the canal fixed and i just want to ask,do i have to take the syringes for every tooth or was it needed only for that one because it was canal?
Actually brushing you teeth at night is good for you.
So this means there is no way that works 100 %?
No matter how do you do it what you use mouthwash, night brushing, floss. Its gonna be a cavity one day.
jemsncrystals Thats not how it works. Eat more healtht and smarter, less surgery and brush, rinse, and floss 3x a day can prevent caviities

Now if only it wasn't so expensive to see the dentist...
lool its free in the UK
It really isn't that expensive for a check up, even for cavity fillings. In many places in the U.S, oral hygiene is considered a secondary need. In reality, nothing is too expensive. You just don't have your expense priorities straight.
Come to Britain, we have the lovely NHS waiting for you.
@@overthegardenwall5128 r u telling people just not to be poor? had to get wisdom teeth removed and It was a cool 1.6k fortunately my parents had insurance and even that didnt cover all of it. oral health is need for everyone, working or not. "priorities" or not
And they new what they were doing. My new one cut my tongue.
Just when I wasn't gonna brush tonight
aliencoin yeah lol, and then put it off for nigh
Lantern I've never had a cavity in my life and I eat a ton of sugar and brush my teeth once a week
Bruh... I hardly eat candy tho
Unless you count Snickers...
One everyday after school
But if anything when I do brush
I brush twice at that time and I do it pretty rough too~
brush em and make it a habit or you'll regret it later. My 18 yr old brother never brushed and lost 4 of his front teeth. He regrets not brushing his teeth and he no longer shows his teeth when he smiles or when take family photos. It's worth the 2-5 minutes spent brushing.
Is not possible for him to get replacemant teeth?
Coca Cola is like a death sentence for your teeth.
Ibhenriksen Mountain dew, even worse.
gameking008 Your face even worst
It's not the amount of Coca Cola you drink, it's the frequency... for example, it's better to guzzle the Coca Cola down quickly instead of sipping it throughout the span of 20-30 minutes. Every sip, no matter how large, causes the pH to lower, which encourages bacterial activity on your teeth for ~15 minutes. Basically... just drink it fast and swish some water afterwards and the Coca Cola won't wreck as much havoc. Still gotta brush and floss tho :p
Did you know you can get rid of rust stains using Coca Cola? That's how strong it is.
Quickly? Yeah no, then you have to worry about esophageal damage(GERD)
Imagine the pain the cavemen went through without the tech we have today 🤕
😥😥
I am not sure the sources used in this vid but caveman or hunter gatheres did not develop a single cavity in their lifetime according to western price foundation which went out and looked at modern hunter gather tribes ( they live the same lifestyle) and analyzed their teeth what they found were no cavities and a beautiful pearly white teeth in addition they did not have crooked teeth
Cavemen and the Stone Age didn’t have sugar then, so it weren’t as bad- sugar was only introduced in England during the Tudor period
They didn't consume sugar as much as we do today, so no they didn't have problems like this as much as now
@@f.m.m6706 they did, fruits like apples mangos etc etc contain a lot of sugar, but they didn’t eat as much as we eat today

Lack of or no access to dental care also causes cavities.
That's true or even if many parents can't afford due to poverty or just don't make enough to support their children
I had super deep grooves in my molars, so whenever I brushed I wouldn't reach some parts of my tooth. I've gotten a lot of cavities the year after I got my braces off so those deep grooves were smoothed out and I haven't had issues with cavities since

The video left out serious additional cause of tooth problems that is becoming more and more of a problem in recent years - acids from soft drinks, which soften or dissolve tooth enamel, and prevent normal teeth remineralization. No amount of fluoride can fight constant sipping of soft drinks due to it's sugar and acid content.
mbaksa
Unless if you brush your teeth regularly, I doubt you have to worry about it.
Good point! Kids consuming more and more soda, we see high level of cavities on young children.
mbaksa. Drinking with straws can lessen the damage
Pizaerable Please learn about Stephan curve! Brushing your teeth regularly, in the morning and before bed won't prevent acid attacs throughout the day, it will just lessen the effect of acids a bit. When you sip a coke, pH level inside your mouth drops below 3. There is no amount of fluoride in the world that will protect your teeth. Fluoride just lowers the pH level at which damage to your teeth starts.
Bear in mind that brushing your teeth inside half an hour, or maybe even an hour after you got your sugary-acidic drink, will do more damage to your teeth than sugars and acids alone, since it will be easier for toothbrush and abrasives in your toothpaste to strip a layer of tooth enamel from your teth.
Blurryink Yes, it can somewhat lessen the damage, especially to your anterior teeth, but not nearly enough. And it will cause wrinkles around your mouth.
Me as a chocolate lover and a sweet tooth
*gotta brush my teeth 10 tims a day*
I don't have a sweet tooth I only want a bit of candy or snacks when I'm on my period or it's coming soon
Thats a very bad idea. Brushing will wear down your teeth enemal. You should brush at night before bed or eat an apple to rinse away the food film on your teeth. Also, studies have shown swishing with sesame oil can help for mouth hygiene and even reversing gingivitis.
Von Sakamoto It’s twice a day.
"10 tims a day"

never not brushing my teeth ever again
Paula Salazar lol I brush my teeth once a week and I've never had a cavity so this video does not convince me
It depends on the individual. Some people with lower volumes of saliva are more likely to get cavities.
i used to not brush at all and had no cavities. i only started getting them when i started brushing with toothpaste
not surprised, natural fluoride found in nature could help your teeth
but whats in your toothpaste and water if fluoridated is not natural by
any means. it industrial waist in the manufacture of fertilizer which
does not help in any way. it actually weakens your teeth by replacing
the calcium making your teeth brittle. i have cavities from when i was
in middle school (candy junky) and although i didn't do much brushing
then it did form like in your case in a period i was using toothpaste.
sense then i don't use toothpaste and it hasn't gotten worse. i do
recommend brushing you teeth but not with fluoride toothpaste or in my case toothpaste at all. look up
fluoride poisoning images and look at the teeth. no matter how small you use that damage is still being caused, it's just slower and less noticeable in the lower doses.
You must have very strong teeth. But why do you brush so little? Don't you get unconfortable?
2:55-3:11 That caveman dentist scene was just too funny. lol

Who else went to brush their teeth after watching this video
+Trevor Thai I was brushing my teeth while watching this.
You technically should brush your teeth 15-20 min after each meal, and you should brush them softly.
Toothpicks or floss as well, and stay away from most mouthwashes, they are flat out horrible for your teeth and do nothing to actually give you good breath (( in some cases it is more likely to give you bad breath ))
DecoyBlackMage ooooooh noooooo plz don't recommend that. You will cause more damage brushing after a meal. Example is drinking OJ then brushing after breakfast is outright terrible for enamel.
DecoyBlackMage
Mouthwashes are flat out horrible? Says who?
Brian Martone Science for one, not helping most washes is that they where not developed to even be mouthwashes to begin with, and in some cases the mouth wash in question contains chemicals that actually cause bad breath or damage to your gums.
Some washes should be used only when you have canker sores (( mind you, they do not remove them faster )) or if you have trush, and these are not washes you use on a regular basis as they will stain your teeth generally or mess with your mouths natural fauna to the point it causes damage.
Just brush properly with floss, and cut down on sugar and acidy drinks (( that includes fruit )), it really is not that complicated even if people want to make it so. Not saying you cannot have these.
Also teeth are naturally stained yellow or grey, do not brush harder or use any whitening tooth paste (( they usually contain stuff like sand, that literally shaves your teeth down to make them whiter temporary at the cost of your tooth Enamel. ))
The white smile is kinda a lie when it comes to adults, it sure as hell is not natural for a person past 25-30 to have naturally white teeth.
i got my very "weak" set of teeth from my dad! 😵 i started developing cavities when i was 5 which gave me REALLY painful toothaches growing up. Just simply excruciating times. i got 3 molars extracted by the time i was 10 and got another 3 filled in recently and now my wisdom teeth is bothering me once again. Ugh!

This video makes me want to brush my teeth
(FOR KIDS)
its quarantine, just thought i'd help right now :)
SO, basically if you have cavities don't worry! if you brush your teeth better than before basically, let's say you have baby teeth! and you have cavities. i actually recommend brushing better than ever! because if it falls out, theres a high chance it'll grow without a cavity :)
- From somebody who did this 💅🏼
Tysmm! 🧡❤️
if you have a cavity tell your parents and BRUSH YOUR FRIGGIN TEETH I SWEAR YOUR BREATH STANK
Dentists also recommend waiting to brush your teeth after eating something acidic, like fruit, or drinks like lemonade. They say that acids soften the enamel, which would then be weak enough to get worn away by toothbrush bristles. If that is the case, wouldn't it be a better idea to wait to brush your teeth in the morning in order to remove the effects of built up lactic acid in the mouth?
At least wait 10 minutes while your saliva neutralizes acids, then brush.
@4:38 "screw it lets add a jiggling bird for fun" - animators
It's funny because it's not just any bird but a Dodo, which was a pre-historic bird that went extinct in the 17th century and was fearless of humans.
Dodos had no natural predators, so fear is futile, they were also smart, but again, ignorant and fearless.

Thank you, animation explains clearly what happen when have cavities.
My five year old nephew and I watched this after the dentist today. Thank you!!
For about the first 11 years of my life (I'm 13 right now) I didn't brush my teeth. I ate whatever I had and never got cavities. But, I did get a filling to prevent cavities on my molars, and due to me not eating or even liking sugary food until Halloween, the only time I would (and still do) eat candy or large amounts of sugar is during Halloween. And since I have an overbite, my front teeth are never used to chew on food since they simply can't due to my overbite. So I got my filling to prevent cavities when I was 7 but, even before that I would never brush or floss except the day before the dentist appointment. So I was extremely lucky, but it wasn't all good, I would get made fun of my horrendous yellow teeth and bad breath, so for the past year I've been brushing my teeth twice a day and using a water pick, and now I have braces. I'am so lucky to not have gotten cavities. Just saying guys! Brush your teeth. Not only is not doing so bad for your oral heath, but it's really embarrassing to have bad breath and yellow teeth, just saying
So you recommend not brushing,,,?
@@lightbeingpontifex he’s recommending it
Fillings are used to treat cavities, not prevent them?
Braces are terrible for you. Rip.
You’re not 13 lol, you have to be lying.
so we all have microbes because of our parents kissiny us when we were babies......curse my mom
debbies world lol 😂
The fact that we have microbes is usually neutral or advantageous to our helth. However, their excess or dispachment into areas of our body where they don't usually live can cause diseases. Take Escherichia coli. They are quite numerous in our intestines and produce vitamin K2. However, when they get into our our urinary tract, they may infect them.

brushing your teeth after meals is the best thing that I have found. I just can't cut down on the sweet stuff so brushing regularly has been the best solution for me. Haven't had a new cavity in years now....
The characters in this video are very hilarious 😂😂😂
It's worth pointing out that how MUCH sugar is in your diet isn't nearly as important as how OFTEN. Generally speaking, the acid attack from a dose of sugar lasts about 20 minutes. If the sugar stays on your teeth (sticky stuff) or keeps getting added back in (sipping and snacking over time) then that 20 minute acid attack keeps getting refreshed. By sipping sugary beverages (soda, milk, fruit juice) throughout the day, you can bathe your teeth in cavity-causing acid for hours at a time.
ReverendTed So milk or chocolate milk is bad for teeth?
Can u plz do the history of dentists
Sure. In times before recorded history, the planet was populated by Eldritch creatures known as "The Great Old Ones." When early humans started to settle the world, the Old Ones knew their era was over, and went into a deep slumber in the abyss. However, they spread their consciousness and implanted their will into some of the early humans, who started forming grotesque, strange cults around their likenesses and praising them as gods. One of the more guarded secrets of the Old Ones, known only to madmen, the immortal priests deep in Tibet, and experts of the Necronomicon, is Ayug-Thakot, the Great Agonizer. His worshippers revere pain and praise their dark deity by causing as much agony as humanly possible. Some say they hide among us - torturers, sadists... Dentists.
WildWasteland The Old Ones are smart. They know that they must have only a select few that can cause such pain. These worshippers can also be found as doctors, teachers, politicians and DMV workers. You must take great care to watch what these individuals are doing as there may be signs that are worshippers of Ayug-Thakot.
Awesome animations to express the topic about cavity... & Everything about cavity has cleared now

Never had a single cavity.

same and i eat a lot of sugar.
Superhero ULTIMATE fluoride cause cancer .
You have to be lying
You may not have gotten a cavity because some people have stronger enamel than others because of their genetics. Also, there's fluoride in our tap water, so unless you're brushing your teeth with bottled water, you're still receiving fluoride.
Candidly, I absolutely adore their animations. Quite humourous.
Thank you for this video alot, i am experiencing a very painful toothache at the moment, its basically caused by cavities. And now i am remembering the lack of attention to my teeth had to pay a price.
*Looks down at the apple pie Im eating right now* Lol nice
This is why I still watch youtube
Thank you for this, made learning interesting
and here I am holding my aching tooth..... I dont even like sweet 😭
me too that used to be me. I dont like brushing my teeth because I despise mint and all toothpastes have a minty taste, even the tooty fruity ones. my tooth started hurting really bad and I had to have surgery. you should get your tooth, actually, all of them (even though only one was hurting, three more teeth had to be operated on for me) checked out. I now brush... occasionally... with baking soda because it isn't minty. it doesn't have fluoride though, so I have to put up with minty mouthwash afterwards. its tolerable though because the taste of mouthwash washes out of my mouth.
@@harrietyes there are vanilla flavored toothpastes that you could try if you are so anti mint
This was interesting! Thank you! I also learned more than I thought I would. I didn't know this information about tooth fillings and how they're meant to block and close off bacteria.
This is so fascinating in a dentists perspective.....

can you do "why we sound different on video" next? I've always wondered if it was just me or that's actually a thing!
Good idea. It is a thing. When you speak you hear the vibrations through your head mixed with the sound through the air. When you hear your recorded voice, you only hear the sound that travels through the air.

Have never seen street dogs cats , animals brush there teeth still they don't have any cavities or tooth issue, all teeth intact, what's the cause 🤔🤔
I'm surprised they didn't mention anything about tooth sealants--my teeth were covered when I was six and, fourteen years later, I still haven't had any cavities.
This is awesome! A further exploration of hidden sugars, especially in "healthy foods" would be an awesome addition to this video

I barely brushed my teeth when I was younger. Never had a cavity even though I remember eating lots of things with sugar in it but now that I have braces, I'm forced to.
You are lucky. I am 12 years old and up to about a year ago I very scarcely brushed my teeth too. I have had a total of 17 fillings, 3 crowns, and 6 pulled teeth because of it. I don’t understand how I was never able to make the connection between brushing and cavities until now but I’m glad that I did because now I don’t have to worry about the dentist’s chair anymore.

I usually love Ted Ed Animations, but jeez, this one was creepy...
Vishita but it's the reality
Starch is not as bad as sugar though. The amount of starch digestion in the mouth is pretty low, and it takes time for starch to be broken down to sugars by salivary amylase. As long as you're drinking plenty of water and rinsing out your mouth after you eat a starchy meal, you should be fine.
Not many people drink water. People like to drink sodas, juice, sugary drinks. That's the problem.

Flossing can be awkward.

I just had a lot of dentist appointments last month and the month before I had a root canal treatment and three cavities. I didn’t feel any pain but I noticed a creator in my tooth. The dentist said I was lucky I caught it before it could reach the nerve. The treatment wasn’t as bad as I thought but I’d rather not go through that again. I was scared then really sad going through all that. But now I’m so relieved it’s finally over. My best advice is to most definitely see a dentist once or twice a year and if you notice something strange about your teeth even if you don’t feel pain don’t hesitate make an appointment right away. And it’s ok to be afraid but there’s no need to because it’s a problem that can and will be fixed for sure.
Was he Jesus or buddha??
@@gottfriedhub pardon me?
4:12 can you place a filling in the tooth when the decay is touching the nerve.
That's called it's too late for the teeth to be repaired. That's when your tooth have to be pulled out with pliers😬😨
@@pokemonitishere202 actually sometimes a root canal is possible.

This is a good way to represent what cavities are 10/10
My son loved this read aloud. Thank you
I once learned that there are at least 2 types of bacteria.
Those that cause cavities and those that attack the gum.
Everyone has one or the other if I'm correct.
Some people may never get cavities but get gum infection more easily, and the other way around.
Also makes me curious how animal teeth work because animal teeth don't have cavities very often and most animals don't brush their teeth as far as I know.
animals dont consume sugar their risk is low.
Paint in my tooth at the moment
Pov: you’re watching this after having a cavity filled

No pain but as tho the nervous system I feel when drinking some thing cold and hits my teeth that’s nit even cold to the other teeth and it starts to feel dry
