In this video, I’m going to tell you how to stop dental plaque formation in its tracks. Dental plaque is a biofilm of microbes. A biofilm is a calcium shell built to protect a group of microbes. Plaque is one of the primary causes of gingivitis, bad breath, and tooth decay. You can brush and floss regularly and still get plaque!

Your mouth contains the second-largest group of microbes in your body. The majority of these microbes are known as commensal, so they’re not necessarily friendly but also not unfriendly. If you kill them, you could end up with a candida infection or oral thrush.

Plaque develops when this friendly relationship turns into a pathogenic relationship. Dental plaque biofilms can develop under stress! Poor diet, sugar consumption, smoking, alcohol, and antibiotics can also contribute to dental plaque formation.

Certain chemicals can mimic antibiotics in the mouth. Ironically, chlorhexidine, the main chemical in mouthwash, mimics antibiotics in the mouth. It also increases acidity and the risk of tooth decay.

Fluoride is in the majority of toothpastes and our water supply. It’s been around for 60 years, but there have never been any randomized controlled trials on fluoride in our water.

Fluoride is not controlled by the FDA, CDC, EPA, or the American Dental Association—it's controlled by a private entity. It’s best to filter your water to remove fluoride.

You’ll want to get the good microbes back into your mouth to remove dental plaque. Consume probiotic-rich foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir.

If you chew gum, make sure to choose xylitol gum.

Dr Berg for the last three to four years my health has severely started deteriorating. More recently I’ve been experiencing significant low neck pain, upper back and shoulder pain.. joint pain, hip pain, internal aches and woke up every morning feeling like a dumpster fire. I saw your video about you getting an infected tooth removed and it cleared your pain and I thought i wonder if my dental care is contributing to this since NOTHING was helping. I didn’t have tooth pain. Got X-rays and sure enough I had an upper molar with a huge cyst in my sinus cavity. I had oral surgery Monday and literally my body feels 90% better! Your videos turn on light bulbs for us. I never would have correlate the two! Thank you

I am 46 and have only ever had three medical conditions in my life. All three of them the doctors couldn’t remedy. One minor thing had gone on for 11 years, and another minor thing had gone on for a year and a half.

Your advice solved all three problems in one night, three days, and two weeks respectively. All using natural ingredients.

Thank you!

Dr. Berg's advice has made a HUGE difference in my life. Bless you sir. Please NEVER stop fighting the good fight. 🙏

I brush my teeth only with distilled water and I don’t have tartar or plaque around my teeth. I think it has something to do with tap water. Thank you for shedding light on Flouride. I’ve wanted to get a whole house distiller and I only drink distilled water as well. I do eat a lot of veggies and fruit as well and that’s where I get my minerals.

Probiotics never helped my gum disease tbh. I’ve had gum disease as long as I can remember. Using a water flosser before brushing with a non fluoride remineralizing toothpaste, and using a higher quality floss (coco floss) has been a total game changer for me. The water flosser in particular. It’s like pressure washing my teeth and gums before I brush. For the first time I’m no longer having bleeding and my hygienist is thrilled with my progress.

They were even selling fluoride baby water. Shocking how long people can get away with crimes in the this country.

I used to work in a laboratory. One of the most dangerous acids some of our researchers used what Hydrofluoric Acid. You have to take extreme precautions when using it because it is highly volatile and loves to embed itself in bones and teeth. It can not be handled like any of the other acids because it will cause so much damage to the body in a tiny drop. It also will eat through glass. I try to stay away from anything that has fluoride in it. I can't imagine that it beneficial to the body in the amounts present in tap water, or toothpaste.

Dr. Berg is a national treasure. Thank you sir!

My husband and I have been married for over forty years and of course use the same water and eat pretty much the same foods, except my husband eats way more sugar! I asked our hygienist why his report is always excellent and why I always have a lot of plaque. She told me that some people just naturally make more plaque than others.??🤷‍♀️

I live on a farm with well water but decided to purchase a home distiller for my water. I am SO glad I did! The water is amazing. I also make kefir with my organic raw goats milk form my herd. Thank you so much for the informative videos, they are priceless.

I had my teeth cleaned last week. My hygienist insisted on using a fluoride treatment and I refused. She went on to question me as to why I was against it. When I told her what I think about fluoride she got upset, then I showed her which toothpaste I'm using since she says my oral health is getting better and better. She got even more upset when she saw there's no fluoride in it 😂 and proceeded to give me one that contains fluoride.

Jons Hopkins have a study on rats teeth which became more brittle after fluoridisation. The study happened about 100 years ago after it was noticed in the 1800s that fluoride attaches to the skeleton which is the body's way of shunting it to a part of the body that will not make the soft tissues toxic. The study attempted to establish whether or not fluoride strengthened bones by that affinity but fluoride is less dense than calcium, therefore it could be a contributory factor toward osteoporosis. In India there is a lot of naurally occurring fluoride in the ground and most often it is women who suffer from skeletal malformation of that.

Thank goodness for WELL WATER 🎉🎉🎉

Even as kids, mom wouldn’t let us use crest or Colgate, or any fluoride toothpaste we used Vademecum; Swedish toothpaste without sugar or fluoride the best!🎉

Court case in san Francisco on fluoride, going in now

[ronaldwest]

I watched a documentary on fluoride is a byproduct from making aluminum and they had a problem getting rid of this byproduct and came up with the ideal solution by putting it in the water.
