Dental care

[Jack]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone on here knew much about oral health. I’ve been heavily considering stopping dentist appointments for quite some time. Yes unfortunately my parents pressure me to going to the dentist still. I was wondering if anyone has experimented with no brushing of the teeth while on a raw primal diet and if they noticed any benefits or negative effects to doing so. I still brush my teeth, I just use boar bristle toothbrushes and fluoride free toothpaste, with cleaner ingredients.

@Jack I go to the dentist still about once every 6 months, however i very specifically make sure that my dentist isnt cleaning my teeth with a fluoride varnish

I brush my tongue 3-4x a week just to help prevent a bad breath and I brush my teeth maybe 1x a week, or even every 2 weeks at that

I have not gotten any comments about my breath if that is something that worries you
Something I also find is eating apple helps remove plaque on my teeth

i oil pull with raw butter daily (just keep it in your mouth 10-15 minutes then spit out) and use a miswak sometimes when i feel like it

if you go to dentist only get the ultrasonic scaler to remove tartar or plaque its all you need.

decline xrays, they will give you guff about it, but just be polite and declien flouride.

eat lots of oysters helps

@Jack I would just use some kind of raw fat because I don't trust any products whatsoever. Contamination risk isn't worth it for me. Haven't had any issues.
