Wouldn't mouthwashing remove the tooth paste fluoride left on teeth from brushing?
How about a mouthwash with green tea, amala, and xylitol… Though Dr Greger may have a video on the ill effects of consuming xylitol, I want mouthwash that's not for consumption. Gum is another possibility, see attached link . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2nGH4VgeAk
I love this channel.
MAJOR WARNING REGARDING MOUTHWASH DANGERS:
The mouth microbiome is essential to maintain nitric oxide reactions – N.O. is vital for healthy arteries, and as a neurotransmitter. Killing off the mouth microbiome with alcohol mouthwash will adversely affect your cardiovascular health. The flouride also disrupts N.O. in your body. For this reason, both mouthwash and flouride in general should be avoided.
Instead, good teeth and oral hygiene can be achieved with a sugar-free wholefood vegan diet.
But how long does that effect stay
can I use green teabags ? my computer has no sound. I can't hear this video
So what if you swish with a green tea and amla mix, and then swallowed the mix to get the anti oxidants of tea and amla into the system?
What bothers me with many of Dr. Greger's videos is that they seem to end too soon. This video is a typical example. What is the formula for the mouth wash that one should use? How much green tea? How much amla? For how long, etc. He never says.
Sorry Dr., the best mouthwash that is super safe and will kill everything is "hypochlorous acid" or HOCL. It even removed the subtle white on my tongue.
There is no reason for bad breath if one performs good dental hygiene. I have never had bad breath – ever. I pull with coconut oil nightly, I floss a few times a day, I brush at least five minutes each time and I rinse with peroxide once a day. I also have a toothbrush just for my tongue. I even have allergies and still don't have bad breath. I can eat raw garlic and raw onion, brush my teeth and no smell at all.
Please, I would like to know how to prepare the mouth wast, ratio for a green tea mouthwash recipe , i have started putting powdered green tea and amla on my toothbrush with my tooth paste,
But doesn't tea stain teeth?
"Until we put it to the test." Is another great catchphrase.
Link to the study that shows chlorhexidine damages DNA, please
Wait so I swish with green tea before I eat tangerines? Does it have the same effect if I swish afterwards?
Don’t the tannins in tea stain teeth? Rinsing with green tea without rinsing with water afterward sounds like a recipe for yellow teeth. Thoughts?
amla powder brand name suggestions?
i am thinking about leaving it on overnight…
More input
Cold green tea or warm swish ?
Dr. Greger I’m amazed how many video you are ganging out this days! God bless hour hearth for the great work you do!
How much amla do you need?
I'm all in for the green tea mouth rinse and drinking green tea after meals would be great too, but I have to question the addition of amla. Wouldn't the fruit acids in the amla (gooseberry) be caustic to tooth enamel? So while the amla does reduce plaque bacteria, it could also possibly wear away at your teeth.
Is white tea as effective as green tea, since it has less fluoride, and therefore you want have to worried about flurosis? 🙂
Gah! I'm watching this right after going for a "buy one – get one free" mouthwash deal >.<
Well done analysis comparing alternatives head to head. Guess I will have to use my green tea for something other than drinking it.
Why aren't the papers/sources cited that you reference in your videos? I was hoping they'd be in the description box.
I do eat a lot of candy tho
Just because of this imma start swishing my mouthwash around my mouth whem im drinking it xD
Scraping tounge could help perhaps.
i love man
Why did chlorhexadene turn my mouth black? It didn't happen to my husband or mother. I thought maybe related to all the blueberries I eat! Scary. Glad I stopped using it (a few years ago).
On the other hand, a couple weeks after starting amla powder in my breakfast, I started experiencing extreme dental sensitivity. Maybe it's so acidic that it's burning everything off my teeth? Could be something else totally.
Very interesting stuff about green tea. As always, many thanks for the video.
I do a mouthwash mixed with 1 cup aloe juice, 1 cup distilled water, 1 tbsp baking soda and five drops of (high quality) peppermint essential oil.
When I had bleeding gums (a few year ago), I tried "The Natural Dentist" mouthwash and it was the only one out of all the mouthwashes that I tried that worked well and cleared it up. I did a little online research, and figured out how to make one on my own. (above recipe)
I'm not sure if this is scientifically proven to work also, I've been curious if there is any health issues with this practice but it has seemed to work very well for me.
Farking Amla – too good!
This is so true!! Try drinking green tea at night and your mouth doesn't smell in the morning!! (provided that you don't eat anything afterward) This is such a great substitute for mouthwash – which I don't like using because of the "burn" it creates in my buccal mucosa.
Is green tea better than Listerine as a mouth wash? I just checked and Listerine doesn't have Chlorhexidine but has some other crap?
Dr. Greger: thank you for your passion and for sharing that passion with us. We've all heard 'You are what you eat," but it never really sunk in until I read " How Not to Die." Not a meat eater but I knew nothing about the benefits of a plant based diet…"until now." I don't know how you keep up with all of your videos, lectures, writings and your general devotion to your topic. So, I can only heed your advice and say 'thank you,' while I cut my turmeric. God bless…
DID YOU KNOW?: plaque on teeth is soft scummy whitish stuff. SOFT. It is not tartar, mineral, calcium, or hard! Did you know that? PLAQUE IS GOOEY. (it's true. They went and chose a word for it that rhymes with 'crack' and sounds like rock. Shoulda named it 'schmuzz' or something.)
Chlorhexidine also causes a really persistent staining of teeth in some people.
If your gums are pretty deep underneath, no mouthwash will reach the depths, because inflamed tissues weep a clear tasteless fluid called GCF, gingival crevicular fluid. The mouthwash can't get deep enough because it can't "go upstream". Unless you run it in there with a syringe or water-jet device filled with undiluted mouthwash.
Flossing all the time is sometimes useless due to sad technique, even though the floss was actually in there. Ask your dental pro to observe your floss technique on one or two front teeth. It's worth picking up a tweak to get way better results for yr work.
