As a dental hygienist who has practiced for over 30 years I agree with Dr Stock. We need more dentists like him. The majority of dentists are fluoride pushers. I unfortunately have been in several arguments with dentists about the fluoride topic. Patients would ask me what my opinion was when the dentist left the room. I have been told not to tell patients that fluoride was bad. Dental offices make $$$ off of giving FL treatments and products. Dentists do not teach patients about nutrition. As hygienist, we have a very limited time to do many tasks. I would try to talk to my patients about limiting carbohydrates. I found people do not really understand what products are carbohydrates. Because dentistry has become more o a dentist's being money hungry instead of providing a service for the people I have left the field. I would love to continue to work in dentistry if I could find a good "holistic" type of dentist like Dr. Stock. Dr. Berry, thank you for this video. I think people need to know the truth because they do not get the truth when they go to the dental office in most cases.
It's amazing, how little understanding most non athletes have about macro nutrients. I recently visited a friend and after explaining, that I eat a low carb diet (I won't even mention the word Keto, because I know that just gets too complicated) I proposed to make an omelette with mushrooms and some salad for dinner. So far so good. When he went shopping for groceries, he wrote me a message asking, if I would mind him adding some bacon to only his portion, since I 'surely wouldn't want to eat that, being on a low carb *diet* ' 😅 I swear, people hear the word diet and they immediately think 'calories' and also 'low fat'. It's that deeply ingrained. And my brother (bless his soul) just keeps offering me potatoes and rice and such at family dinners. Everyone else has caught on after two years, but he just doesn't look at food like that. He's vaguely aware of certain foods being more or less healthy maybe, but that's about it. He just isn't interested in the topic.
My daughter's dental hygienist just last week recommended that she start using a high strength fluoride toothpaste. I do not feel good about that at all.
You’re awesome! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I have been subjected to corporate dental practice since I was little and at 44 am losing my teeth due to periodontal disease I believe I caught from the dental office…I was always told it’s from not brushing so I continued to brush more and more and weaker my enamel…my teeth went from normal strength to weak and crumbling within weeks…but what I noticed is how the jaw bone felt…it felt weaker and when I finally got into see a dentist they couldn’t numb me at all and it felt like my jaw bone was going to break when the dentist tried to put pressure on the tooth…I remember in college being told that if the body is lacking vital nutrients..it will starve the extremities of nutrients to keep the vital organs alive…the nails and teeth will become weak and fall out..hair too..I worked for a foot doctor who had mostly elderly diabetic patients and seeing what diabetes can cause was horrifying! So I started to approach the issue from a nutrient perspective…boron and vitamin k2-mk7 it turns out are so necessary yet the most unheard of vitamins we need that affect our teeth directly…I’ve stopped periodontal from taking all of my teeth but it’s not just nutrients…I ran across a study where they had put a corpse in a sealed environment with no oxygen etc..to see if it would stay preserved..it didn’t …turns out we make our own bacteria that is what handles the disposal of our corpse at death..we also create the bacteria that consumes our waste…back 20 years ago…they were pushing this recycling sewage into tap water for water conservation….they recycle our waste back into what we drink..,dumping solids into the rivers and chemically treating the water for purification….when I first started having teeth crumble it was sudden onset with very little symptoms or decay showing…so this starts from within…I had very little gingivitis as well…my bones in my hands and feet have become weak suddenly too my hips..etc…so whatever this is is from within …unless we learn to purify the blood like we used to do with clove and herbs etc…our teeth don’t have a chance with this bacteria eating our bodies from the inside out…now I can’t even get in to see a dentist because my insurance is so slow to pay out….obummer care ruined insurance and our ability to afford it on our own…I was never given a chance to know what was going on or what causes cavities and always had horrible dental problems and a bad accident when I was 8 that damaged my teeth pretty bad…and was punished by the dentists I went to for how bad my teeth were…they never considered I was assaulted and the damage wasn’t from me being careless..I came from a family with limited resources and no insurance so we paid cash..the dentist was charging us 3x more then the standard charges! But we had mo other options because we were uninsured and no one takes uninsured ….they wanted $11,000 to fix one tooth with a veneer back in the 90s! I had all the work done at the state university dental school finally when I was 30 for $1900 total ….in 2007…so yes…this problem has been caused and perpetuated by the dental industry…and is criminal…I love seeing comments like yours though…more and more professionals making us aware of this problem we have…thank you
Ive been a dental hygienist for 20 years. Last year one of patients completely reversed his gum disease with a carnivore diet prescribed by his physician. I thought I was reading the wrong chart at his 4 month hygiene visit there was such a shocking difference. Ive never seen a mouth healthier when just 4 months earlier it was a bloody mess. This patient success is what led me to investigate the carnivore diet.
The most confusing thing about cavities is their diagnosis. Since my long time dentist retired, I've gone to different dentists and was originally told I had 8 cavities. Procrastinated for 6 months and the next dentist said 6. Decided to get another opinion about 3 months later and was told 3. Things like this tend to make one somewhat suspicious about the whole industry.
That's because it's subjective and depends on who's doing your exam. Years ago, in my 20's, I had a dentist do the same thing to me. He was shocked that I didn't have any fillings and proceeded to tell me that I had a cavity in every tooth. I ended up going back to my childhood dentist who performed an exam and then wanted to report that other dentist to the ADA.
I had no cavities until my mom got 90 percent dental coverage insurance n then all of a sudden I had two cavities in every tooth. My old dentist had told me I had hard teeth and probably wouldn’t have cavities. My mom didn’t even question this nimrod that put all these toxins in my mouth. They will stand in judgment.
I didn't visit a dentist for about 20 years due to financial problems til I was about age 60. First visit after that produced no cavities and the dentist was stunned. As a kid, I had multiple fillings because the kind local dentist filled every little spot ID'ed during my very regular visits. Today at age 67, I don't have decay but have costly repairs refilling or crowning where those old fillings are giving way.
And thank you for being a fantastic interviewee. I really need help with open mouth breathing while sleeping, so looking forward to the next interview.
Great talk Kevin! Here's a question I've been wanting an answer for ages... obviously speculation is fine But lets say we raised the next generation with an almost perfect diet. Plenty vitamins and minerals and protein and so on. We know their teeth will be far better than the people alive today. So my question is how much better would their teeth/health be compared to stoneage humans? Less erosion from chomping on wood and roots but I imagine our ancestors had periods where they didn't get enough protein for a day or 2 or 3. So, in the perfect world, how much better can our oral health be even compared to our healthy ancestors?
I never thought I’d see a doctor and a dentist agreeing on the dangers of fluoride and mercury. Glad to see people waking up. You have no idea how hard some of us have fought to get these truths out (awake since 1998 here).
I've had bleeding sensitive gums and loose sensitive teeth for over 60 years, and frequent cavities even though I brushed often. My first dental cleaning 1 year after I began Keto, no cavities, next to no bleeding during the cleaning and no tooth or gum sensitivity. Nearly 6 years since I began Keto, amazing to have no bleeding or loose teeth, and no cavities in this time.
@@foodfeastwithtwist No food till about 2-3 on some days, most days it's just dinner at about 5-6pm. Some ham with cauliflower salad. Sometimes a steak with some asparagus. I eat simple.
I was diagnosed with periodontal disease in 2005. My then dentist wanted a lot of money to fix the situation, and it wasn't a real fix for my mouth, it was a fix for his boat payments. I didn't do it. I found myself without a job for 10 years and couldn't see a dentist, and meanwhile found the keto diet and got off all grains, sugars and seed oils for 6 years, and found a red light mouth guard and nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste from Japan. Got a job, finally, and good dental insurance, went back for a 10-year cleaning, and the diagnosis? My teeth were fine. No periodontal disease. We'll see you again in a year (and not six months, or three).
I stopped going to a dentist 7 years ago when it became obvious to me he was pushing for things I didn’t want or ask for that were all cosmetic procedures and 6 month cleanings. I took dental care into my own hands, my teeth are whiter today, my gums are pink, no tartar buildup behind them either. How? Easy.. I don’t consume sugar, no carbs. I brush once a day with a salt/baking soda solution. I floss daily. Twice a week I brush my teeth with activated carbon powder that removes all stains. I have never felt better… the old adage I grew up hearing was true… brushing and flossing daily will keep the dentist away. I use a wooden toothpick to remove calculus build up and it works just fine. It seems to me that our dental insurance system has become a slush fund for dentist that use it to suck the coverage costs out of it through unnecessary procedures. Greed has killed their profession.
Actually, we dentists in the new paradigm, are more no floss ( I haven’t flossed in decades) & suggest water pressure devices & ultrasonic home brushing. Also suggesting less caustic preventatives. Being a 30+ year etiology research practitioner, I see the fad of sleep Dentistry as a stop gap tx for systemic metabolic dz. So I do not fully agree with this dentist. EXPERIENCE. REVERO and hopefully a future inclusion of dentistry is hopeful.
@@CarnivoreDMD For sure things change within professions based on evidence and improvements. At 60 I found something that works best for me. I was raised on candy and when I joined the Navy at 17 I had 8 or so cavities and the bootcamp dentists just did a terrible job due to the volume of recruits they would see every day. Lost three fillings in the first year… and slowly over time had the amalgam fillings replaced. Suppose this is why I have always been leery.
I agree! I don’t trust dentists after they have five totally unnecessary things! I’m so upset! I went in to get a tooth pulled that had lost a filling and broken off. I’m on Medicare/Medicaid! He dude so many other things and I asked him about the tooth I MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE and was told they used all my money for the year and I’d have to pay out if pocket!! I’m STUNNED!! This was just a few months ago! 😞
@@lindacake5792 dentist only care about money. All is business. They ruined my son's tooth. We made the appointment for 1 reason, but he did 1 other thing that we didn't ask. I'm so mad.
As a dental hygienist I love this interview so much. This was arguably more valuable to me than my hygiene education. I'm tired of telling people who have dental disease that they need to brush better, floss more, get a special rinse, etc. They often tell me they are doing all those things and more. Diet is number 1! I'm tired of pushing fluoride. I flat out tell parents not to do the tablets. I concede on topical fluoride, but I really shouldn't. I feel pushed by the office. We had nutrition in school, but it focused on nutrition in the general sense, and it was the low-fat, high carb variation. This interview has given me the boldness to really change what I do!
Has anyone here heard about Eucellus dentifrice? It's a new food-like toothpaste product that takes a different approach and nourishes the mouth rather than poison it daily like we all have been doing for years with regular toothpaste. Seems like a promising product to help address the real cause of oral health diseases...
In 2019 I had Laser surgery due to periodontal issues. Last month my gum started bleeding. The dentist said I had to go to the office every three months for clean up and I was doing my cleaning only every six months. Now he said I had to repeat the laser surgery and pay another $7500. I started doing my research. I started cleaning my teeth with baking soda, salt and hydrogen peroxide and flossing. Then I was also doing coconut oil pulling for 15 minutes then rinse my mouth with salt and warm water. My teeth are no longer bleeding, my teeth are white, no tartar, and my gums look so healthy.
I have adhd, and suffer from health issues to boot. I neglected a lot of my dental health my whole life. I had too many root canals and extractions. Regrettably I allowed dentists to drill my teeth to bits. I was told that I was going to need reconstructive surgery to graft my gums eventually because they were so diseased. I had gum line cavities. I began bridging my nutritional gaps by supplementing. No one told me that having my gallbladder out would make ms deficient in fat soluble vitamins. I also stopped used antibiotic mouthwash and trying to restore my oral micro biome. I started using fluoride free hydroxyapetite toothpaste too. My gums stopped bleeding, the redness and swelling left. Then in just a few weeks I realized that my cavities were actually remineralizing. It was incredible. These weren’t small holes either. I wish I could afford a functional dentist here. I’m so afraid to have any more damage done. I forgot to add that I also implemented xylitol products.
I’ve gone to dentists on a regular basis all of my life. (65 years old). Have had cavities as a child and throughout adulthood on occasion with root canals. Have been living a keto lifestyle for the last 19 months. At the last cleaning, the hygienist said, “I wish people took as good care of their teeth as you. You have the cleanest teeth I’ve seen in a long time.” That’s a low carb diet! Thanks Dr Berry. Great info today!
Overconsumption of carbs and sugars is the culprit. Ever since doing I.F. plus low carb/low sugar Ketovore, my dentist and hygienist complement my teeth during every checkup. Thanks Dr Berry!
My gums stopped bleeding easily within weeks of me eating meat again. I was vegetarian for 30 years and had awful dental health. I'm over 2 years keto vore and doing great now!
Did u ever try oil pulling. My Gums felt yuck, did that daily for a few days and then felt fine. Also noticed became a nasal breather so no more cotton mouth when woke up in the morning.
@@sweetbeep Don't know how you define healthy and regular, but I tried it every way possible! I started before the internet, studied every book I could find. Bottom line is I was severely malnourished without the animal fats and proteins. It's now a year later and I'm still eating mostly carnivore and very low carb. I'm now 53 and still on no medications and my body feels perfect!
I had microcavity, bleeding gums, and some teeth that would hurt while chewing. I use Black seed oil and all my teeth problems have disappeared in two days. Give it a try I find it amazing. After brushing your teeth squish a tablespoon of black seed oil for a minute or two. I swallow the oil because Black seed oil has amazing properties or you can spit it out, and leave the oil on your teeth. I have been using this remedy for over a year and never had problems with my teeth.
Interesting anecdote about calculus. Last time I went to the dentist for 6 monthly checkup, she removed a lot of calculus. She asked me what Ii was eating. I told her about my ketovore diet. She said two things. Firstly: “That explains the calculus. So we don’t have to worry about that. Your dental health is excellent. We’ll just clean it off every 6 months.” Secondly she said “That’s a good diet. Keep doing it” I must admit I was surprised, as I assumed most health professionals would tell me my diet is wrong
The mouth is a window to the body. Gums, cheeks and tongue, throat pharynx. Can you imagine what swollen and bloody gum tissue indicates ? It not simply plaque bacteria buildup. What caused that buildup and resulting inflammation in the first place ? Hint : sugar, carbs and malnutrition
That’s almost exactly what happened to me after last dental visit. My dentist said “you clearly take good care of your teeth” I laughed and said I just don’t eat carbs. After a decade of bad teeth and problems, it was refreshing to have an easy cleaning and compliment on my teeth.
@@-whackd Keto is a diet that is vey low in carbs and results in you being in ketosis. Your body basically runs on fat rather than sugar. Ketovore is a keto diet that mainly consists of animal products (usually mainly meat and animal fat), with only a small amount of plant material. Carnivore is a keto diet that has no plant material at all
@@michaeltaylors2456when you let bad bacteria into some teeth that aren't typically placed or curved it's another type of bottom to lift from it's not like you can remove it just with diet for better bacteria and not feeding them with bad stuff they won't go and these permanent free space that appears where food stays despite daily effort to clean it up becomes a serious struggle and it of course spreads and you don't want to remove such teeth as that's as important as every organ in your body with serious function attached never had blood from flossing since limiting carbs in diet but now it's like anonymous alcoholism you cant skip any day of right habits or you feel crap feeding from your inconsistence right away and you may do everything perfectly yourself fixing it in theory but you live with people not aligned with your effort and it goes to waste as you share space and bacteria with them you literally won't be healthy hanging out with unhealthy folks...
I have had several years of dental issues. Infections…over and over. I’m in the middle of implant treatment and miserable. In temporaries waiting for permanents. Wish I hadn’t let them talk me into this. Full mouth. IMO dentists don’t know anything about oral health, diet, or how to resolve infections! Started carnivore and hoping that helps. I’ve been sick for so long, I really need relief. I’ll be patient. Thank you for sharing this!
It sucks to loose any teeth . I've lost 1 and I think I would cry having anymore out. However I have to say that I felt amazing when I got it removed as it was infected and probably dead. So hopefully you will feel better getting rid of infections!
I had full mouth implants it’s rough getting through the process. You will be happy and healthier after it’s done. Stay carnivore after the procedure for lifelong health. I’ve been strict carnivore for the last 4 1/2 years it slowed down the progression of my periodontal disease but sometimes it’s too late.
Maybe also look into Dr Ellie Phillips protocol. I’ve been doing it for two months and it seems to be really helping gums and teeth. Carnivore I think can take up to 2 years to cure dental disease so Dr Ellie’s might speed things up. My mouth felt cleaner from day one
Awesome interview, lots of great info! A couple of years ago my dentist sent me to a periodontist thinking I had periodontal disease. I went to the appointment and was told I had periodontal disease and I would need to pay $12,000.00 to fix it. Well that wasn't happening since our small business had been completely shut down for two years. So, I went to a new dentist for a second opinion. Turns out I had Oral Thrush. A $40 prescription of oral Nystatin cleared it right up! I have asthma and I nebulize twice a day with BUDESONIDE which can cause oral thrush if you do not properly rinse your mouth after each use. Dentists and periodontists should know this.
I think you were about to be the victim of a crooked dentist. I’m hearing very disturbing things about dentists telling patients they have cavities or disease that’s only a lie to scam money from them. Personally, one of my relatives had a dentist tell her she had six cavities. She got a second opinion and was told she had none. I’m so glad she didn’t go through with all that unnecessary work and expense.
@@annbolen6051 Same thing happened to me! I went to a dentist and she claimed I had about 6 or 7 cavities all across my front bottom teeth. I had my doubts about that, so I went to another dentist and she said I HAD NO CAVITIES and a look passed between her and the hygienist when I told what happened that told me they KNEW the other dentist was a fraud!!! Be very careful, folks. Get a second opinion if you have doubts.
I sure wish I had known this 30 years ago. I only have about half my teeth left and one really loose. Starting out, I had one loose tooth and bleeding gums, went to dentist and got a deep cleaning, then a bunch of teeth got loose and started coming out. Saw a video about using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide as toothpaste and that started to firm up the remaining teeth. I started keto about a year ago, lost 60 pounds and was feeling better. Started moving toward carnivore and was doing good, then suddenly lost it and went back to carbs and Coke. Now, feel like crud all the time, but, buckling down again over last few days and think I can continue. Every time my loose tooth starts hurting or gums start bleeding, I brush with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for a couple of days and it fixes it. I am reluctant to brush every day because I heard from this channel, I believe, that you shouldn't kill the good bacteria in your mouth, as it is good for health and digestion(?) maybe. I am doing well on latest attempt at mostly carnivore, but, having trouble doing intermittent fasting longer than 16/8 and sometimes OMAD. But, I am back. Edit: I don't go to dentists unless in great pain. The last one I went to mentioned above, while doing the deep cleaning was using a very sharp 'pick' and digging at the roots of my teeth what seemed excessively hard. That is when most of my teeth got loose. Right or wrong, I contribute it to him trying to make me have more problems, imo. I am not going to pay someone to damage me.
My last dentist also used that hard long thin gummi file between a few teeth, it was so hard on my gum it started bleeding like hell, he told me i had gingivitis and told me I had to continue do this between ALL my teeth for the next 30days and then come back, and told me "once you do this your gum will feel like it got worse at first and then it will start getting better". I am very sceptic with doctors so i tried a few days and only on half my teeth so i could compare left and right side but refused to keep doing it because I feel like I am pushing bad stuff up under the gum flesh, and now a few month later all my gum has gone worse, now food even started going up under my gum close to my front teeth 🤦♂️
Maybe you're not eating enough meat and fat.. Takes time to adjust and sounds like you're a bit hard on yourself.. Fasting isn't necessary really. Your brain will adjust to your body telling you when to eat..8 yrs into this, we've just let our bodies tell us when to eat.. Hubby is lunch and dinner. I have 2 or 3 meals a day.. If I don't eat I get hunger pains and if I push it to far I feel crappy.. Hard physical work on the farm will use up my meat/fat meal fast.. We are healthy, fit and super happy.. Hubby had lepto bad and that's why we come to keto then carnivore. Never going back.. Please eat meat/fat till you're not hungry and don't worry about fasting..some people gain a bit of weight at the start then once the body has healed it starts just falling off.. Good luck and hi from New Zealand.. You've got this.. You can do it.. Whoop whoop.. ( :
Love everything about this! I have been practicing in dentistry for 44 years (39 years in Dental Hygiene) and the past 10 years I myself am all in on this woe. We need practices with these beliefs and sharing it with their patients. I personally am carnivore and it's been a huge healer for me. I see patients in this WOE and they look amazing (yes, thier mouth and gums!) Keep getting this info out there😊 Thank you Dr Berry and Dr Stock!
I cleared up my gingivitis in 3 months, and whitened my teeth using my toothpaste concoction. My dentist couldn't believe it but didn't want to acknowledge that I was able to do it on my own. I found someone else after that attitude. I winged it on the amounts: *virgin coconut oil *baking soda - dissolved so not abrasive *hydrogen peroxide *Peppermint extract - food grade, NOT essential oil I heated in microwave, stirred, and as it began firming I used an immersion blender to keep it from separating every few minutes. Once all firmed but a fluffy consistency I put it in a glass jar with a lid by my sink. Now when it's Hot out ie summer, it'll melt. I use a baby spoon to mix it and dip my brush in it. I live alone so if you're multi family I'd recommend making a big batch and each has their own jar. Btw, my receding gums started growing back too! I brush twice daily. And no cavities. And use soft bristle! Gums are healthier because hard or medium can hurt your gums.
I had gingivitis so bad and my gums had receded to needing a tissues graft When I got diagnosed with bad arthritis. I decided to go carnivore. My gums and gingivitis is cured! No gingivitis and the gums all grew back!!! I’m shocked❣️
I have a homeopathic dentist and I was diagnosed with periodontal disease. I went with a partial and glad I did. I’m 68 yrs old and been carnivore 3 weeks now. This is such great information. Thanks so much 💙
There is NIH study where they injected aloe Vera gel into periodontal pockets and they were reduced - random controlled study I believe. I had a bad pocket at my wisdom tooth (6) and I didn’t have a syringe but pushed the food grade aloe Vera gel into my gums and also used the gel as a mouth wash. It reduced my pocket to a 4.
I’ve been following Dr. Berry for a while now and I’ve been saying I’m going to go carnivore for months and months now. I’ve not been able to bring myself to start, but something is shifting and seeing over and over again how people are fixing their health issues with this diet, it’s giving me that motivation to start this new way of eating. I’m moving in a few days so that’s been stressing me out a little, but as soon as I’m in my new place, carnivore diet is going into full effect!
@@ByDesign333 I’ll probably still have a veggie/fruit here and there, but I’m getting rid of all grains and sugar (sweets). The sweets are my biggest struggle. 😞
@@WamsyAmsy do try it. I have rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis and I'm off all meds and pain medication. Took about a year and a half. But I have no inflammation in my body my doctor can't believe it. Good luck on your journey. 😀
Great interview!! Now, I'd love to see you two talk about keeping mouth closed and tongue on roof. Just learned about this last year and THANKFULLY I've always kept my tongue on the roof naturally. That might be why people think I'm 20 years younger than I am, even at 67.
Yes to regaining attachment! I wasn't diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontal disease but I also haven't been to a dentist in about 10 years. When I started carnivore about 10 months ago, one of the first things I noticed was that my teeth suddenly felt like they were rooted in stone. I didn't even realize they were loose! It was the strangest feeling but it convinced me that I was heading in the right direction changing my diet. Great guest and topic!
This was so informative! I feel better about my root canal, I have been so scared about what I have been reading online. I had it done by an endodontist, used a CT scan to see all of my nerves, used a microscope, and even used Gentle Wave to get rid of bacteria. So far so good :-) Please invite him back to talk about breathing!
I had 2 root canals done when I was 15 years old, and it literally ruined my life, I had them removed at age 59, and I finally feel normal for the first time since then. I had them removed because I thought that was the cause of my heart trouble, and thank God I did.
Thank you for all these informative videos! My husband and I have changed our diets to low carb a year ago, but are now more carnivore than we were, and I am shocked at how much better we sleep, no snoring, more energy, feel stronger,, gut issues are gone, miraculous results. We both have gum problems, so hoping for a rejuvenation of the gums. Keep up the good work, because there is so much pushback against this carnivore diet. Bringing on so many experts that understand nutrition is AWESOME! Thank you again! Big fan! So excited to hear this Dentist speak on all these subjects!
I was one of those kids that brushed faithfully twice a day ...sometimes more. I was obsessed with my teeth. They gave me those fluoride pills and I went from having zero cavities to almost every molar had at least one...I was getting cavities filled left and right. I ditched the fluoride toothpaste..changed my diet..went low carb. Eat very little sugar, most of the time none...except an occasional treat ...no more cavities.
This is very true for me entering into keto diet since April; I had lost one tooth already, having one loose tooth. I noticed improvement in bleeding in the gums, and my loose tooth even tightened up (though I know it's a lost cause). I limit my carbs to 20g. I have lost 50+lbs, and no longer have to endure pain in my teeth/gums. When I fall off the ketovore wagon for brief periods my gums start hurting again. Lesson learned at 64yrs old.
As a dentist i am tired of telling adults they should be limiting soda,candy, sweets. I could care less if they use fluoride or not. If you don’t know that as an adult u got other issues. No amount of brushing and flossing can fix a bad diet. And me cleaning your teeth two days out of the year wont change much
You should never get tired of telling adults what they shouldn't eat. It might not have an immediate effect but someday it might sink in. I had bad teeth as a kid....my molars were deformed and the enamel didn't completely form. My mom was a single working mother so I was fed McDonalds Happy Meals all of the time. No matter how well I brushed and flossed, I seemed to always have cavities. All of my molars were completely full with fillings before I even went to college. My dentist not once ever told me to cut out soda, sugar, etc.. It might not have done any good as a teenager or when I was in college....it's hard to get out of bad habits you grew up with. I was always skinny so I never thought much about it since back then I equated weight with health, but at some point, if someone had said something at some point, it would have sunk in long before now watching youtube videos.
@@Piper7cub that sounds like unfortunate and unique situation but its great to hear that u are on the right track. While I don’t think it will ever get easier, patient education will always be important. But its tough to hear that u never heard that eating candy sweets can be bad for your health even from a family doctor or a high school or middle school health class.
When i told my dentist i had gone carnivore, he laughed at me and said, just get a glucose monitor! I hate ignorant people making fun of something they have no clue about
My 6yo has never had a cavity. No fluoride, no Junk food, no soda, no juice, only goat milk and meat. He does eat homemade organic chocolate chip cookies. We don’t eat fast food either. RO water so no fluoride in our water. He gets iodine daily directly into his mouth., His adult siblings who ate SAD had tons of cavities. Oh, and he’s never had any vaxcines, never been on an antibiotic, never had an ear infection, never had strep, never had any over the counter medication, zero health issues.
Are you sure he needs daily iodine? When I looked at the protocol people suggested for lugols iodine I thought it was like twice a week. I haven’t done a lot of research but figured I would mention it.
Fortunately I live in a village with no fluoride in the water. We were fortunate enough to have Paul Connett in our community. He'd written The Case Against Fluoride. Sadly? Within the past 10 years a neighboring community voted to add fluoride to their water with the encouragement of local medical professionals.
Would love to see Dr. Ellie Phillips on your show. She’s another dentist. Has helped my teeth & gums even after I’ve been carnivore for 1+years. Sh e has different opinions about using baking soda and other ingredients mentioned in this interview. Still very informative. Would love to compare the recommendations from both dentists. Carnivore has been life changing for me!!!
YES!!! Absolutely! My family is on her system now. In combination with her Zellie’s mints & Carnivore 100% my gums are growing back! Slowly and with gum massaging I can see the improvement. Finding all the items in her system constantly is the most challenging part
I had tonsil stones for 30 years. When I went keto, they disappeared. If I eat too many carbs, they sometimes reappear. I wish some doc had told me this 30 years ago! Those things are nasty!!!
I had those too, and judging by my dad's breath, I think he did as well. I've been ketovore for over a year now and I can't remember the last time I had one.
Great talk Ken & Kevin! I went the route of becoming a sugar addict as a kid, and if it wasn't for a wake up call of almost losing most of my teeth, I wouldn't have them now. Much appreciated.
Dr. Stock has a lot of knowledge about dental care. He is very knowledgeable and very wise about dental health. Thank you sir, I salute you for your wisdom and knowledge.
My dentist told me that I have gingivitis. I have never seen any blood in my mouth during or after brushing or at any other time. However, I brushed my teeth vigorously with hard toothbrushes for years until I was in my thirties and I suspect that is why my gums are slightly recessive. I viewed photographs online of people with gingivitis. I see no evidence that I have areas of darker red inflammation. Recessive gums seem to be my only symptom, although my teeth are sensitive when my dentist cleans my teeth. My teeth are not sensitive at any other time.
I recently read about archeologists who collected skulls going back several centuries of Inuit and Icelandic people, who both had a meat/fish based diet and very limited access to plant foods. The common denominator was that they all had perfect teeth with zero decay.
Well it seems I am a controversial dentist too. I remember one very clear case that made me open my eyes. A very responsive patient started to develop periodontitis with a rapid decline . I knew he was very careful with his oral health . I really tried to help him but it was only when he came to me looking better , feeling better and his oral issues were dramatically improved that the situation improved. He had been diagnosed as diabetic type 2. He meticulously followed a better diet _ not carnivore . But still better. I never used antibiotics for tooth inflammation/ infection. Surgical treatment unless patient is running a severe fever in case of sepsis risk. You doctors just pop pills . Dentist has to treat root cause - so to speak. My two caries free boys don't use toothpaste. Their occlusion is perfect. Non of my 5 kids have fillings or cavities. I can actually smell on their breath they have no issues. I am sure Dr Kevin recognise that particular foetor ex ore kids have when their dental status is optimal.
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529You all obviously have computer access or smart phones... Took me 1 second to look up this phrase "Foetor ex ore", also known as halitosis or bad breath, is an offensive odor that resembles rotten eggs, meat, fish, or feces.2 It is caused by poor oral hygiene, reflected by the amount of calculus and plaque present and visits to the dentist. Foetor ex ore can be a useful indicator of the severity of the disease in subjects with periodontitis.
Thanks for this interview! I had my wisdom teeth out when I was 24, because a dental surgeon told me they were impacted and growing sideways so they had to come out. Then a few years later I learned that they generally DO look sideways till they're ready to erupt, then they turn themselves (kind of like a baby in a womb) and come out just fine. If I'd known this, I would have saved my money and the stress and gone to work for those 3 days instead of getting dental surgery. During my third pregnancy, I went to the dentist because I had a filling fall out. Dentist cleaned it all out, said "because you're pregnant, we can't do an X-ray, so I'll just clean it out the best I can and hope for the best, and put in this temporary filling, come back after the baby's born and have a root canal." I never went back for the root canal, and that "temporary" filling lasted 5 years. When it fell out and the tooth broke, I had it removed. I was pregnant again, but told the dentist I'd researched the risk and was satisfied that it was low enough, so he put 2 blankets on me when he took the X-ray. I've never been back to get an implant, or partial denture, I just have a gap there (it was a molar so not really that obvious). The gap doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it and it sounds like that's probably the best way to handle it anyway! My oldest son (I have 4 kids) is the only one who's ever seen a dentist. Here in Australia, there's a public dental system which lower income people take their kids to. I took him, and they said he had one tooth that needed to come out (it was pretty bad). It seemed like as soon as his molars grew in when he was 2, they started to decay. I'm not sure why - I mean his diet wasn't great, but we didn't feed the other kids much differently when they were the same age and their teeth are fine. I put it down to him having my dad's bad teeth. So they said because he was so fidgety in the chair, they recommended having him get the tooth pulled under a general anesthetic, and referred us to the major children's hospital here in Adelaide. About 6 months later we got the letter, so we went to see the dentist there, who said the same thing. She also said "we'll just pull all his other bad teeth while he's under, because if we leave them there and he has a problem with one later, we're liable." Um, WHAT?! You're just going to pull out half his baby teeth? And she said he couldn't keep them because of hospital policy. So we never went back, and he kept that bad tooth until it fell out naturally. I did take him to a private dentist later who also said it needed to come out, but the kid just couldn't sit still long enough for a local anesthetic to be of much use. I still wonder if I should have had it removed, because now he doesn't like to chew food because he hasn't had the practice, because his tooth hurt for so long. No issues with the younger kids' teeth, except the youngest has knocked out 3 by roughhousing! At least he loves steak!
Doctors, can you please give us some specific examples of the children's diet you are using/recommend? Also would love to see a book written on this subject 🙂
I'm 84 and have been all over the map on toothpastes, Have paradontal issues. Gums have been stabilized, but have suffered bone loss. I've finally settled on making my own tooth powder. I'm using 50/50 baking soda and arrowroot powder. Whether that's the right thing to do or not I don't know.
There was a holistic dentist in Smithtowm NY, Alexander Schwartzman. Amazing man and amazing person. Somehow he committed suicide which is very suspicious, knowing that great individual. His patients and his staff were posting articles that he was murdered. However years later all the information about him has been wiped out of the internet. God bless holistic dentists and take care of yourself!
100% stopped my bleeding gums and gum loss this year since starting Keto January 23. I thought I was going to have to have gum replacement in front… I can’t believe the difference in only 6 months!
I’ve lost 2 bottom teeth already to bone loss. I have another that is sore now and has gotten worse with 3 month dental cleanings. 😢 I’ve been carnivore for 7 months now and I’m not seeing any improvement with my teeth. My gums don’t bleed, though.
@@Sabbathissaturday Well, you might not be able to reverse certain things already in motion, but sounds like you are on the right track to slowing further damage. I too am supposed to go every three months… I am hoping I can change that, but my teeth seem to want to make calculus/tarter, may be genetic.
@@mdsingle3 I am happy to report they did! I started Keto at the beginning of the year and really noticed that they were filling back in in mid July. I also had a deep cleaning in July, but they started filling in even before the deep clean. My gums hardly bled during the cleaning for the first time in 40+ years (60yf)
It is so wonderful to see medical professionals and dental professionals to move toward a real answer to our health problems. I feel that I must share this interesting situation with you that happened by accident and I never told my dentist and maybe you will know what happened. I lived with my upper anterior restorations(not ceramic) for over 30 years that had a very weird gum reaction. I had the gums come down and no recession but they were always puffy. No redness or swelling or soreness. I went to a periodontist who said he thought my hygiene was okay and not a cause. I went to another dentist who said that he suspected the metal was not pure and I was allergic to it. One day I decided to try a new way of rinsing when I brushed and flossed. I mixed a capsule of reishi mushroom powder in the water and rinsed for five minutes. I was amazed at how the puffiness went away and has not returned. I had no idea what I was doing and no training in dentistry that would have made me think that this would work. I would be interested to know what you think happened here.
Finally in my 30s I found a dentist and dental hygeinists that praised my carnivore diet and were willing to talk about all of the positives of cutting out the carbs, sugars, and processed foods. Sad I'll be leaving the country in a few weeks but hopefully I can find a more holistic dentist in Korea too! Thank you both and please keep it up on bringing the truth about our diets!!!
My daughters, now 19 and 20) have never had cavities. They have never been low carb, but I managed their diet fairly strictly. Lots of vegetables, some fruits, meat, cheese, grain restriction, and limited sweets. Absolutely NO fluoride! Fluoride free dental products. Never fluoride treatments at the dentist. I distilled our water when we were on city water. They did brush twice a day and floss nightly. Their dentists have always been amazed at how clean their teeth are. With that being said, I do wish I had them on ketovore from the beginning. I believe that would have been the game changer concerning other health issues. Thank you for all the info you give us to help us make better choices going forward!
Since your daughters were on a diet of "restricted grains and limited sweets", they were on a much lower carb diet than the typical American SAD diet! And why their teeth were better.
This was an excellent conversation and it has personally helped me to clear up topics I have wondered about. I never understood fully if fluoride was good or bad, I have heard both, but I suspected bad. Now I have find a way to get the fluoride out my water. I am a little upset to learn about implants, since I just this year got my first ones, two in fact and I had no idea that there could have been problems with them. I did have them put in by an oral surgeon and everything went flawlessly. If they would last 25 years I would be happy. Thank you for this very informative video~
Ive just had my root canal removed. It lasted 23 years. In the process of having an implant. Waiting my 6 months to have my bone graft heal. Seeing a specialist in the field.
Great conversation. Please have him on again. My 2 older sons (they are now in their early 30’s). They have fluorosis because they sucked on toothpaste tubes when they were young. I would pull them off the bathroom counters but had I known, I would have locked up the toothpaste.
You and your sons are very lucky they only got fluorosis on their teeth. Fluoride is poison and could have made them very sick or even caused fatality.
12:40 Great Point! I found out that Gum Health comes not so much from the outside, as from the inside. With the Right Foods this can be healed, where all the outside stuff failed. Because this is living Tissue that needs to be nurtured from the inside!
As I watched this video, I flossed my teeth. After 2 solid months of strict ketovore, I notice little to no gum bleeding! I also loosened some tartar from the inside of my lower front incisors with the floss!
I used to be able to feel the jagged bottom edge of my front teeth with my tongue and would cut my tongue sometimes, since ive been low carb ketovore, my gums grew back and there is no gap anymore, my gums bleed less and my teeth are healthier
Thank you both so very much for sharing this important information!!! I only wish I knew this sooner and I would have converted my diet sooner. I have adjusted my oral healthcare accordingly. Thank God for you two getting this message out there!!!!
Gingivitus can be painfull keep on top of it get a deep clean use salt water rinces take vitimin d3 vitimin c tumeric brush at a 45 degree angle at upper mouth brush up at 45 degrees on bottom gums gargle with xzylitol in loop warm water to stop the acid forming on your teeth and gums ❤❤❤
There are remineralizing toothpastes on Amazon. My teeth are all mine. I use remineralizing toothpaste and bamboo toothbrush with natural boar bristles. Im 78 and no mouth or tooth pain. Im on carnivore/keto for about a year now...
I really appreciate Dr Stock. He’s very knowledgeable but also balanced. He’s realistic about our dental treatments. Like I’ve never heard a holistic dentist ever advise if u get a root canal go to an ENDODONTIST. My dentist always refer us to an endodontist for root canals. I’ve had no problems whatsoever with my 5 root canals.
I know having white teeth is the expectation in the US, but I’ve always wanted to ensure the whites of my eyes are whiter than my teeth & therefore my eyes stand out, not my mouth. So I’ve never whitened my teeth. I do wish my parents had done palette expansion for me so I could have all of my adult teeth, but they did the extraction method and my mouth is forever too small (& I believe that is why I accidentally bite my tongue all the time).
I found this at the perfect time; My last dentist visit ended in a 700$ treatment suggestion for just early signs of gingivitis. Everytime I leave I feel like they're trying to squeeze money out of me. I'm only 1 month carnivore hoping - to be sustained ketovore - so I'm hoping when I go back and see improvement
Excellent. Fluoride is a halide which interferes with iodine thyroid absorption. National Cancer Institute compared 60 cities, 30 non fluoride and 30 with fluoride for 30 years. Cancer jumped significantly when fluoride started. What they put in city drinking water is really called hydrofluorosilicic acid which is a carcinogen and goes through blood brain barrier and placenta.
I , at 66 years old, no longer brush my teeth. Evolution and pre history man is a favorite topic of mine for a good book read. Right now I started re reading Weston Price's book before I loan it out of my library as well as Dr. of dentistry, Steven Lin's book.
Effin' dentists told me that I needed a "deep clean" to sort my bleeding gums out, back in February. Started carnivore in April and LO AND BEHOLD(!) my bloody gums not only stopped bleeding, but the flamin' swelling has gone too. Firm gumses now. Bloody dentists.
I'm convinced that breastfeeding has something to do with it too. I'm 60, and my siblings and I all have had lots of cavities and dental work. My daughter, 33, only recently had a very small cavity, my son, none.
I would love to find out more about the success they’ve been seeing with the stem cell implants being done in states like North Dakota ….I’ve heard stories of what I consider miracles where a man had a full recovery and no signs of scaring or problems with his heart after receiving a stem cell treatment plan in North Dakota after he suffered a few massive heart attacks and was given only months to live …the guy who told me this story said he was totally mind blown! When this guy walked into his office and said he was this guys good friend he thought had passed away by then..he looked 20 years younger and was 100% healthy and no longer on disability and working like he was a 30 year old man again…there has been many stories regarding dental implants but with our own teeth being grown from our own stem cells in a lab and then implanted and growing a new tooth in our own mouth….but it’s hard to find info online anymore that’s not the bs narrative
I wish effective and affordable dental stem cell treatments were available now. I had to have a badly infected root canal tooth removed a couple years ago, and it was an important molar for chewing. I don't chew on that side anymore and have experienced bone loss as well as muscle loss on that side of the face. I've also been experiencing jaw spasms occasionally which cause my lower jaw to thrust forward, my lower teeth catch my front upper teeth. That hurts and scares me that my teeth are going to break. Tooth removal can be a trigger for that issue. I found the name for that condition but can't remember it.
Have been on carnivore diet for five years. I brush mine teeth infrequently a few times a week with water only, no toothpaste. I do remove remnants of meat with a toothpick after every meal. My dentist is always giving me kudos for my oral cavity health. Have no bad breath, my gingivitis (from before I started my diet) is long time gone. My tartar build up also seems to recede.
Excellent interview except fluoride is poison so I don't see how it's a nuanced argument. I use Redmond Earth Paste due to the limited number of ingredients, fluoride free although it contains bentonite clay. Thank you both docs ☺️
My friend went to a dentist in New Mexico and he asked her if she ever lived in Odessa Texas. He said he could tell by her teeth. Something in the water.

As a dental hygienist who has practiced for over 30 years I agree with Dr Stock. We need more dentists like him. The majority of dentists are fluoride pushers. I unfortunately have been in several arguments with dentists about the fluoride topic. Patients would ask me what my opinion was when the dentist left the room. I have been told not to tell patients that fluoride was bad. Dental offices make $$$ off of giving FL treatments and products. Dentists do not teach patients about nutrition. As hygienist, we have a very limited time to do many tasks. I would try to talk to my patients about limiting carbohydrates. I found people do not really understand what products are carbohydrates. Because dentistry has become more o a dentist's being money hungry instead of providing a service for the people I have left the field. I would love to continue to work in dentistry if I could find a good "holistic" type of dentist like Dr. Stock. Dr. Berry, thank you for this video. I think people need to know the truth because they do not get the truth when they go to the dental office in most cases.
It's amazing, how little understanding most non athletes have about macro nutrients.
I recently visited a friend and after explaining, that I eat a low carb diet (I won't even mention the word Keto, because I know that just gets too complicated) I proposed to make an omelette with mushrooms and some salad for dinner. So far so good. When he went shopping for groceries, he wrote me a message asking, if I would mind him adding some bacon to only his portion, since I 'surely wouldn't want to eat that, being on a low carb *diet* ' 😅
I swear, people hear the word diet and they immediately think 'calories' and also 'low fat'. It's that deeply ingrained.
And my brother (bless his soul) just keeps offering me potatoes and rice and such at family dinners.
Everyone else has caught on after two years, but he just doesn't look at food like that. He's vaguely aware of certain foods being more or less healthy maybe, but that's about it. He just isn't interested in the topic.
My daughter's dental hygienist just last week recommended that she start using a high strength fluoride toothpaste. I do not feel good about that at all.
Hygienist here too. Same. But I'm still in the field. But I want to change my approach completely.
You’re awesome! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I have been subjected to corporate dental practice since I was little and at 44 am losing my teeth due to periodontal disease I believe I caught from the dental office…I was always told it’s from not brushing so I continued to brush more and more and weaker my enamel…my teeth went from normal strength to weak and crumbling within weeks…but what I noticed is how the jaw bone felt…it felt weaker and when I finally got into see a dentist they couldn’t numb me at all and it felt like my jaw bone was going to break when the dentist tried to put pressure on the tooth…I remember in college being told that if the body is lacking vital nutrients..it will starve the extremities of nutrients to keep the vital organs alive…the nails and teeth will become weak and fall out..hair too..I worked for a foot doctor who had mostly elderly diabetic patients and seeing what diabetes can cause was horrifying! So I started to approach the issue from a nutrient perspective…boron and vitamin k2-mk7 it turns out are so necessary yet the most unheard of vitamins we need that affect our teeth directly…I’ve stopped periodontal from taking all of my teeth but it’s not just nutrients…I ran across a study where they had put a corpse in a sealed environment with no oxygen etc..to see if it would stay preserved..it didn’t …turns out we make our own bacteria that is what handles the disposal of our corpse at death..we also create the bacteria that consumes our waste…back 20 years ago…they were pushing this recycling sewage into tap water for water conservation….they recycle our waste back into what we drink..,dumping solids into the rivers and chemically treating the water for purification….when I first started having teeth crumble it was sudden onset with very little symptoms or decay showing…so this starts from within…I had very little gingivitis as well…my bones in my hands and feet have become weak suddenly too my hips..etc…so whatever this is is from within …unless we learn to purify the blood like we used to do with clove and herbs etc…our teeth don’t have a chance with this bacteria eating our bodies from the inside out…now I can’t even get in to see a dentist because my insurance is so slow to pay out….obummer care ruined insurance and our ability to afford it on our own…I was never given a chance to know what was going on or what causes cavities and always had horrible dental problems and a bad accident when I was 8 that damaged my teeth pretty bad…and was punished by the dentists I went to for how bad my teeth were…they never considered I was assaulted and the damage wasn’t from me being careless..I came from a family with limited resources and no insurance so we paid cash..the dentist was charging us 3x more then the standard charges! But we had mo other options because we were uninsured and no one takes uninsured ….they wanted $11,000 to fix one tooth with a veneer back in the 90s! I had all the work done at the state university dental school finally when I was 30 for $1900 total ….in 2007…so yes…this problem has been caused and perpetuated by the dental industry…and is criminal…I love seeing comments like yours though…more and more professionals making us aware of this problem we have…thank you
The same with doctors and vets - they are either bought or truly are ignorant.
Ive been a dental hygienist for 20 years. Last year one of patients completely reversed his gum disease with a carnivore diet prescribed by his physician. I thought I was reading the wrong chart at his 4 month hygiene visit there was such a shocking difference. Ive never seen a mouth healthier when just 4 months earlier it was a bloody mess. This patient success is what led me to investigate the carnivore diet.
Periodontal disease? Did his teeth get better?
@@sweetbeep
That is what I have been wondering
@@MyGreeneLife update?
The most confusing thing about cavities is their diagnosis. Since my long time dentist retired, I've gone to different dentists and was originally told I had 8 cavities. Procrastinated for 6 months and the next dentist said 6. Decided to get another opinion about 3 months later and was told 3. Things like this tend to make one somewhat suspicious about the whole industry.
That's because it's subjective and depends on who's doing your exam. Years ago, in my 20's, I had a dentist do the same thing to me. He was shocked that I didn't have any fillings and proceeded to tell me that I had a cavity in every tooth. I ended up going back to my childhood dentist who performed an exam and then wanted to report that other dentist to the ADA.
I had no cavities until my mom got 90 percent dental coverage insurance n then all of a sudden I had two cavities in every tooth.
My old dentist had told me I had hard teeth and probably wouldn’t have cavities.
My mom didn’t even question this nimrod that put all these toxins in my mouth. They will stand in judgment.
Changes can happen if you change your diet. Adding or removing foods and drinks. Vitamins and minerals.
Teeth regrow if you let them. But we're too busy being addicted to sugar and carbs, so that's where cavities and erosion come from.
I didn't visit a dentist for about 20 years due to financial problems til I was about age 60. First visit after that produced no cavities and the dentist was stunned. As a kid, I had multiple fillings because the kind local dentist filled every little spot ID'ed during my very regular visits. Today at age 67, I don't have decay but have costly repairs refilling or crowning where those old fillings are giving way.
Thank you for having me on, Dr. Berry! It was an honor and a fun chat - excited for Round 2 on breathing and malocclusion :)
And thank you for being a fantastic interviewee. I really need help with open mouth breathing while sleeping, so looking forward to the next interview.
Great talk Kevin! Here's a question I've been wanting an answer for ages... obviously speculation is fine
But lets say we raised the next generation with an almost perfect diet. Plenty vitamins and minerals and protein and so on. We know their teeth will be far better than the people alive today. So my question is how much better would their teeth/health be compared to stoneage humans?
Less erosion from chomping on wood and roots but I imagine our ancestors had periods where they didn't get enough protein for a day or 2 or 3.
So, in the perfect world, how much better can our oral health be even compared to our healthy ancestors?
Brilliant interview!
Looking forward to the next one!
Then why do so many ppl recommend raw milk for tooth decay?
@@laurenwillett8516 they probably think the calcium will save them 🤣
I never thought I’d see a doctor and a dentist agreeing on the dangers of fluoride and mercury. Glad to see people waking up. You have no idea how hard some of us have fought to get these truths out (awake since 1998 here).
Most dentists are moral and ethical- Really . This is the biggest lie of all times
I've had bleeding sensitive gums and loose sensitive teeth for over 60 years, and frequent cavities even though I brushed often. My first dental cleaning 1 year after I began Keto, no cavities, next to no bleeding during the cleaning and no tooth or gum sensitivity. Nearly 6 years since I began Keto, amazing to have no bleeding or loose teeth, and no cavities in this time.

@@jhildebrand7447 My last cavity was about a year before Keto. No cavities since Keto, normally I'd have had at least one or two in that time.
I was diagnosed with periodontal disease in 2005. My then dentist wanted a lot of money to fix the situation, and it wasn't a real fix for my mouth, it was a fix for his boat payments. I didn't do it. I found myself without a job for 10 years and couldn't see a dentist, and meanwhile found the keto diet and got off all grains, sugars and seed oils for 6 years, and found a red light mouth guard and nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste from Japan. Got a job, finally, and good dental insurance, went back for a 10-year cleaning, and the diagnosis? My teeth were fine. No periodontal disease. We'll see you again in a year (and not six months, or three).
@@SusanBame Do you have a link to the tooth paste and the red light device?
I stopped going to a dentist 7 years ago when it became obvious to me he was pushing for things I didn’t want or ask for that were all cosmetic procedures and 6 month cleanings. I took dental care into my own hands, my teeth are whiter today, my gums are pink, no tartar buildup behind them either. How? Easy.. I don’t consume sugar, no carbs. I brush once a day with a salt/baking soda solution. I floss daily. Twice a week I brush my teeth with activated carbon powder that removes all stains. I have never felt better… the old adage I grew up hearing was true… brushing and flossing daily will keep the dentist away. I use a wooden toothpick to remove calculus build up and it works just fine.
It seems to me that our dental insurance system has become a slush fund for dentist that use it to suck the coverage costs out of it through unnecessary procedures. Greed has killed their profession.
Actually, we dentists in the new paradigm, are more no floss ( I haven’t flossed in decades) & suggest water pressure devices & ultrasonic home brushing. Also suggesting less caustic preventatives. Being a 30+ year etiology research practitioner, I see the fad of sleep Dentistry as a stop gap tx for systemic metabolic dz. So I do not fully agree with this dentist. EXPERIENCE. REVERO and hopefully a future inclusion of dentistry is hopeful.
@@CarnivoreDMD For sure things change within professions based on evidence and improvements. At 60 I found something that works best for me. I was raised on candy and when I joined the Navy at 17 I had 8 or so cavities and the bootcamp dentists just did a terrible job due to the volume of recruits they would see every day. Lost three fillings in the first year… and slowly over time had the amalgam fillings replaced. Suppose this is why I have always been leery.
I agree! I don’t trust dentists after they have five totally unnecessary things! I’m so upset! I went in to get a tooth pulled that had lost a filling and broken off. I’m on Medicare/Medicaid! He dude so many other things and I asked him about the tooth I MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE and was told they used all my money for the year and I’d have to pay out if pocket!!

I heard the floss forces bad bacterium under the gums, is this true? I floss mostly to dislodge food. My dentists say my gums are A1
As a dental hygienist I love this interview so much. This was arguably more valuable to me than my hygiene education. I'm tired of telling people who have dental disease that they need to brush better, floss more, get a special rinse, etc. They often tell me they are doing all those things and more. Diet is number 1! I'm tired of pushing fluoride. I flat out tell parents not to do the tablets. I concede on topical fluoride, but I really shouldn't. I feel pushed by the office. We had nutrition in school, but it focused on nutrition in the general sense, and it was the low-fat, high carb variation. This interview has given me the boldness to really change what I do!
I’m sure you will bless a lot of your patients by doing that.
I wish I could find a holistic dentist like Dr Stock. My dentist like most dentists are profit motivated and not oral health motivated.
@gigi Bravo
Has anyone here heard about Eucellus dentifrice? It's a new food-like toothpaste product that takes a different approach and nourishes the mouth rather than poison it daily like we all have been doing for years with regular toothpaste. Seems like a promising product to help address the real cause of oral health diseases...
Good for you for persisting in valuing real science and not the never foods/fillers of crap, as are Mountain dew and diet Cokes!
In 2019 I had Laser surgery due to periodontal issues. Last month my gum started bleeding. The dentist said I had to go to the office every three months for clean up and I was doing my cleaning only every six months. Now he said I had to repeat the laser surgery and pay another $7500. I started doing my research. I started cleaning my teeth with baking soda, salt and hydrogen peroxide and flossing. Then I was also doing coconut oil pulling for 15 minutes then rinse my mouth with salt and warm water. My teeth are no longer bleeding, my teeth are white, no tartar, and my gums look so healthy.
Also, up your vitamin C
Good for you!
How do you incorporate hydrogen peroxide in your brushing?

@@almalee1885Thanks!
I have adhd, and suffer from health issues to boot. I neglected a lot of my dental health my whole life. I had too many root canals and extractions. Regrettably I allowed dentists to drill my teeth to bits. I was told that I was going to need reconstructive surgery to graft my gums eventually because they were so diseased. I had gum line cavities. I began bridging my nutritional gaps by supplementing. No one told me that having my gallbladder out would make ms deficient in fat soluble vitamins. I also stopped used antibiotic mouthwash and trying to restore my oral micro biome. I started using fluoride free hydroxyapetite toothpaste too. My gums stopped bleeding, the redness and swelling left. Then in just a few weeks I realized that my cavities were actually remineralizing. It was incredible. These weren’t small holes either. I wish I could afford a functional dentist here. I’m so afraid to have any more damage done. I forgot to add that I also implemented xylitol products.
This is incredible to read and gives me so much hope for my own personal situation. Thank you for sharing 😭
I’ve gone to dentists on a regular basis all of my life. (65 years old). Have had cavities as a child and throughout adulthood on occasion with root canals. Have been living a keto lifestyle for the last 19 months. At the last cleaning, the hygienist said, “I wish people took as good care of their teeth as you. You have the cleanest teeth I’ve seen in a long time.” That’s a low carb diet! Thanks Dr Berry. Great info today!
Overconsumption of carbs and sugars is the culprit. Ever since doing I.F. plus low carb/low sugar Ketovore, my dentist and hygienist complement my teeth during every checkup. Thanks Dr Berry!
Sugars, yes, very problematic.
That's great! It can also be malnutrition. Eating the right things is so key. If you can't even afford to buy healthy food it gets dicey.
My dog had bad teeth and now after being mostly carnivore, the Vet said her teeth look good.
@@stephanieprice2384 Yes, commercial dog food is too high in refined carbohydrates, which rot the teeth.
@@jessicali8594 and are terrible for canine health.
My gums stopped bleeding easily within weeks of me eating meat again. I was vegetarian for 30 years and had awful dental health. I'm over 2 years keto vore and doing great now!
Did u ever try oil pulling. My Gums felt yuck, did that daily for a few days and then felt fine. Also noticed became a nasal breather so no more cotton mouth when
woke up in the morning.
Can I ask if it was healthy vegetarian or just regular vegetarian?
@@sweetbeep Don't know how you define healthy and regular, but I tried it every way possible! I started before the internet, studied every book I could find. Bottom line is I was severely malnourished without the animal fats and proteins. It's now a year later and I'm still eating mostly carnivore and very low carb. I'm now 53 and still on no medications and my body feels perfect!
I had microcavity, bleeding gums, and some teeth that would hurt while chewing. I use Black seed oil and all my teeth problems have disappeared in two days. Give it a try I find it amazing. After brushing your teeth squish a tablespoon of black seed oil for a minute or
two. I swallow the oil because Black seed oil has amazing properties or you can spit it
out, and leave the oil on your teeth. I have been using this remedy for over a year and never had problems with my teeth.
Interesting anecdote about calculus. Last time I went to the dentist for 6 monthly checkup, she removed a lot of calculus. She asked me what Ii was eating. I told her about my ketovore diet. She said two things. Firstly: “That explains the calculus. So we don’t have to worry about that. Your dental health is excellent. We’ll just clean it off every 6 months.” Secondly she said “That’s a good diet. Keep doing it” I must admit I was surprised, as I assumed most health professionals would tell me my diet is wrong
The mouth is a window to the body. Gums, cheeks and tongue, throat pharynx. Can you imagine what swollen and bloody gum tissue indicates ? It not simply plaque bacteria buildup. What caused that buildup and resulting inflammation in the first place ? Hint : sugar, carbs and malnutrition
That’s almost exactly what happened to me after last dental visit. My dentist said “you clearly take good care of your teeth” I laughed and said I just don’t eat carbs. After a decade of bad teeth and problems, it was refreshing to have an easy cleaning and compliment on my teeth.
What is a ketovore diet as opposed to keto diet?
@@-whackd Keto is a diet that is vey low in carbs and results in you being in ketosis. Your body basically runs on fat rather than sugar. Ketovore is a keto diet that mainly consists of animal products (usually mainly meat and animal fat), with only a small amount of plant material. Carnivore is a keto diet that has no plant material at all
@@michaeltaylors2456when you let bad bacteria into some teeth that aren't typically placed or curved it's another type of bottom to lift from
it's not like you can remove it just with diet for better bacteria and not feeding them with bad stuff
they won't go and these permanent free space that appears where food stays despite daily effort to clean it up becomes a serious struggle
and it of course spreads
and you don't want to remove such teeth as that's as important as every organ in your body with serious function attached
never had blood from flossing since limiting carbs in diet
but now it's like anonymous alcoholism you cant skip any day of right habits or you feel crap feeding from your inconsistence right away
and you may do everything perfectly yourself fixing it in theory but you live with people not aligned with your effort and it goes to waste as you share space and bacteria with them
you literally won't be healthy hanging out with unhealthy folks...
I have had several years of dental issues. Infections…over and over. I’m in the middle of implant treatment and miserable. In temporaries waiting for permanents. Wish I hadn’t let them talk me into this. Full mouth. IMO dentists don’t know anything about oral health, diet, or how to resolve infections! Started carnivore and hoping that helps. I’ve been sick for so long, I really need relief. I’ll be patient. Thank you for sharing this!
It sucks to loose any teeth . I've lost 1 and I think I would cry having anymore out.
However I have to say that I felt amazing when I got it removed as it was infected and probably dead.
So hopefully you will feel better getting rid of infections!
I hope the implants are good and that you find peace from pain🖤
I had full mouth implants it’s rough getting through the process. You will be happy and healthier after it’s done. Stay carnivore after the procedure for lifelong health. I’ve been strict carnivore for the last 4 1/2 years it slowed down the progression of my periodontal disease but sometimes it’s too late.
Did eating meat help?
Maybe also look into Dr Ellie Phillips protocol. I’ve been doing it for two months and it seems to be really helping gums and teeth. Carnivore I think can take up to 2 years to cure dental disease so Dr Ellie’s might speed things up. My mouth felt cleaner from day one
Have this dentist back. One of the best interviewees I've seen on your show Dr. Berry.
I LOVE that he said he doesn't even consider it an experiment to not feed that kids grains or sugars. He would consider that the default! LOVE THIS!!
Awesome interview, lots of great info! A couple of years ago my dentist sent me to a periodontist thinking I had periodontal disease. I went to the appointment and was told I had periodontal disease and I would need to pay $12,000.00 to fix it. Well that wasn't happening since our small business had been completely shut down for two years. So, I went to a new dentist for a second opinion. Turns out I had Oral Thrush. A $40 prescription of oral Nystatin cleared it right up! I have asthma and I nebulize twice a day with BUDESONIDE which can cause oral thrush if you do not properly rinse your mouth after each use. Dentists and periodontists should know this.
That’s interesting info! Thank you!
I think you were about to be the victim of a crooked dentist. I’m hearing very disturbing things about dentists telling patients they have cavities or disease that’s only a lie to scam money from them. Personally, one of my relatives had a dentist tell her she had six cavities. She got a second opinion and was told she had none. I’m so glad she didn’t go through with all that unnecessary work and expense.
@@annbolen6051 Same thing happened to me! I went to a dentist and she claimed I had about 6 or 7 cavities all across my front bottom teeth. I had my doubts about that, so I went to another dentist and she said I HAD NO CAVITIES and a look passed between her and the hygienist when I told what happened that told me they KNEW the other dentist was a fraud!!! Be very careful, folks. Get a second opinion if you have doubts.
I hope you went back and told that dentist.
Dentists and periodontists should know this? Good ones do. Now it’s a matter of whether they’re honest with their patients.
Thank you! I am a retired Registered Dental Hygienist. I am so glad for this discussion. Great advice here!
I sure wish I had known this 30 years ago. I only have about half my teeth left and one really loose. Starting out, I had one loose tooth and bleeding gums, went to dentist and got a deep cleaning, then a bunch of teeth got loose and started coming out. Saw a video about using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide as toothpaste and that started to firm up the remaining teeth. I started keto about a year ago, lost 60 pounds and was feeling better. Started moving toward carnivore and was doing good, then suddenly lost it and went back to carbs and Coke. Now, feel like crud all the time, but, buckling down again over last few days and think I can continue. Every time my loose tooth starts hurting or gums start bleeding, I brush with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for a couple of days and it fixes it. I am reluctant to brush every day because I heard from this channel, I believe, that you shouldn't kill the good bacteria in your mouth, as it is good for health and digestion(?) maybe. I am doing well on latest attempt at mostly carnivore, but, having trouble doing intermittent fasting longer than 16/8 and sometimes OMAD. But, I am back. Edit: I don't go to dentists unless in great pain. The last one I went to mentioned above, while doing the deep cleaning was using a very sharp 'pick' and digging at the roots of my teeth what seemed excessively hard. That is when most of my teeth got loose. Right or wrong, I contribute it to him trying to make me have more problems, imo. I am not going to pay someone to damage me.
My last dentist also used that hard long thin gummi file between a few teeth, it was so hard on my gum it started bleeding like hell, he told me i had gingivitis and told me I had to continue do this between ALL my teeth for the next 30days and then come back, and told me "once you do this your gum will feel like it got worse at first and then it will start getting better".
I am very sceptic with doctors so i tried a few days and only on half my teeth so i could compare left and right side but refused to keep doing it because I feel like I am pushing bad stuff up under the gum flesh, and now a few month later all my gum has gone worse, now food even started going up under my gum close to my front teeth 🤦♂️
@@orion9k If he fixed your gums, you would not have to come back and spend more money to pay for his 2nd and 3rd homes, yacht, plane, etc.
Maybe you're not eating enough meat and fat.. Takes time to adjust and sounds like you're a bit hard on yourself.. Fasting isn't necessary really. Your brain will adjust to your body telling you when to eat..8 yrs into this, we've just let our bodies tell us when to eat.. Hubby is lunch and dinner. I have 2 or 3 meals a day.. If I don't eat I get hunger pains and if I push it to far I feel crappy.. Hard physical work on the farm will use up my meat/fat meal fast.. We are healthy, fit and super happy.. Hubby had lepto bad and that's why we come to keto then carnivore. Never going back.. Please eat meat/fat till you're not hungry and don't worry about fasting..some people gain a bit of weight at the start then once the body has healed it starts just falling off.. Good luck and hi from New Zealand.. You've got this.. You can do it.. Whoop whoop.. ( :
Love everything about this! I have been practicing in dentistry for 44 years (39 years in Dental Hygiene) and the past 10 years I myself am all in on this woe. We need practices with these beliefs and sharing it with their patients. I personally am carnivore and it's been a huge healer for me. I see patients in this WOE and they look amazing (yes, thier mouth and gums!) Keep getting this info out there😊 Thank you Dr Berry and Dr Stock!
I cleared up my gingivitis in 3 months, and whitened my teeth using my toothpaste concoction. My dentist couldn't believe it but didn't want to acknowledge that I was able to do it on my own. I found someone else after that attitude.
I winged it on the amounts: *virgin coconut oil
*baking soda - dissolved so not abrasive
*hydrogen peroxide
*Peppermint extract - food grade, NOT essential oil
I heated in microwave, stirred, and as it began firming I used an immersion blender to keep it from separating every few minutes. Once all firmed but a fluffy consistency I put it in a glass jar with a lid by my sink. Now when it's Hot out ie summer, it'll melt. I use a baby spoon to mix it and dip my brush in it. I live alone so if you're multi family I'd recommend making a big batch and each has their own jar. Btw, my receding gums started growing back too! I brush twice daily. And no cavities. And use soft bristle! Gums are healthier because hard or medium can hurt your gums.
Thank you for this because my holistic approach has been working for me.
Thank you for this recipe. What quantity of each items should I mix?
I had gingivitis so bad and my gums had receded to needing a tissues graft When I got diagnosed with bad arthritis. I decided to go carnivore. My gums and gingivitis is cured! No gingivitis and the gums all grew back!!! I’m shocked❣️
Really? Grew back?😊how long did it take ?
Does grow back please reply suffering from gum recession
How old are you???
I have a homeopathic dentist and I was diagnosed with periodontal disease. I went with a partial and glad I did. I’m 68 yrs old and been carnivore 3 weeks now. This is such great information. Thanks so much 💙
Which homeopathic remedies helped please?
@@feathernowwater diluted in water...
@@feathernow gymnema sylvestra powder as toothpowder
Update?
There is NIH study where they injected aloe Vera gel into periodontal pockets and they were reduced - random controlled study I believe. I had a bad pocket at my wisdom tooth (6) and I didn’t have a syringe but pushed the food grade aloe Vera gel into my gums and also used the gel as a mouth wash. It reduced my pocket to a 4.
Wow that’s awesome!
I am a believer in aloe vera for gum/oral health. Never heard of anyone having adverse reactions even anecdotally.
I’ve been following Dr. Berry for a while now and I’ve been saying I’m going to go carnivore for months and months now. I’ve not been able to bring myself to start, but something is shifting and seeing over and over again how people are fixing their health issues with this diet, it’s giving me that motivation to start this new way of eating. I’m moving in a few days so that’s been stressing me out a little, but as soon as I’m in my new place, carnivore diet is going into full effect!
ZERO veggies seems daunting to me...but I too may try it, since I discontinued my garden for a year anyway.
@@ByDesign333 I’ll probably still have a veggie/fruit here and there, but I’m getting rid of all grains and sugar (sweets). The sweets are my biggest struggle. 😞
@@WamsyAmsy do try it. I have rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis and I'm off all meds and pain medication. Took about a year and a half. But I have no inflammation in my body my doctor can't believe it. Good luck on your journey. 😀
How is it going?
@@PalinaZI’m doing my version of it. I’ve made a few important changes and I’m feeling great. No inflammation being the best reward. 😊
Great interview!! Now, I'd love to see you two talk about keeping mouth closed and tongue on roof. Just learned about this last year and THANKFULLY I've always kept my tongue on the roof naturally. That might be why people think I'm 20 years younger than I am, even at 67.
Yes to regaining attachment! I wasn't diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontal disease but I also haven't been to a dentist in about 10 years. When I started carnivore about 10 months ago, one of the first things I noticed was that my teeth suddenly felt like they were rooted in stone. I didn't even realize they were loose! It was the strangest feeling but it convinced me that I was heading in the right direction changing my diet. Great guest and topic!
How much meat did you add
This was so informative! I feel better about my root canal, I have been so scared about what I have been reading online. I had it done by an endodontist, used a CT scan to see all of my nerves, used a microscope, and even used Gentle Wave to get rid of bacteria. So far so good :-) Please invite him back to talk about breathing!
I had 2 root canals done when I was 15 years old, and it literally ruined my life, I had them removed at age 59, and I finally feel normal for the first time since then. I had them removed because I thought that was the cause of my heart trouble, and thank God I did.
My teeth improved so much while on this life changing journey... Even my dentist was amazed
Glad to hear that implants can be a problem. I had terrible reaction to titanium dental parts. Terrible terrible!.
Zirconia is an ideal material for dental implants. 😉👌
I would love for you to interview Dr. Ellie about dental. She is an older lady and super knowledgeable. She’s studied the issue in-depth.
Dr Ellie is awesome.
My thoughts exactly! She could have shed some light on some topics for these 2 gentlemen
Have used her protocol for 2 months and have seen major improvements. Just got an oral DNA / pathogen test and am waiting for the results
@@LisaMatthews-qs7le let us know how it went
@@LisaMatthews-qs7leupdate on the test?
Thank you for all these informative videos! My husband and I have changed our diets to low carb a year ago, but are now more carnivore than we were, and I am shocked at how much better we sleep, no snoring, more energy, feel stronger,, gut issues are gone, miraculous results. We both have gum problems, so hoping for a rejuvenation of the gums. Keep up the good work, because there is so much pushback against this carnivore diet. Bringing on so many experts that understand nutrition is AWESOME! Thank you again! Big fan! So excited to hear this Dentist speak on all these subjects!
I was one of those kids that brushed faithfully twice a day ...sometimes more. I was obsessed with my teeth. They gave me those fluoride pills and I went from having zero cavities to almost every molar had at least one...I was getting cavities filled left and right. I ditched the fluoride toothpaste..changed my diet..went low carb. Eat very little sugar, most of the time none...except an occasional treat ...no more cavities.
That's great! What toothpaste do you use now?
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 Boka and Risewell
Would you say fluoride negatively impacted your oral health?
@@MikeSmith-rj3bu yes it absolutely did in a negative way
I love doctors who share info that could potentially put themselves out of business!! Best doctors ever!
This is very true for me entering into keto diet since April; I had lost one tooth already, having one loose tooth. I noticed improvement in bleeding in the gums, and my loose tooth even tightened up (though I know it's a lost cause). I limit my carbs to 20g. I have lost 50+lbs, and no longer have to endure pain in my teeth/gums. When I fall off the ketovore wagon for brief periods my gums start hurting again. Lesson learned at 64yrs old.
Kevin's been one of the most insightful voices in the space for years, love that you two got to talk together!

Because of Dr.Kevin my gingivitis and gum inflammation are much much better 😊 tqvm ❤
👍👍
As a dentist i am tired of telling adults they should be limiting soda,candy, sweets. I could care less if they use fluoride or not. If you don’t know that as an adult u got other issues. No amount of brushing and flossing can fix a bad diet. And me cleaning your teeth two days out of the year wont change much
You should never get tired of telling adults what they shouldn't eat. It might not have an immediate effect but someday it might sink in. I had bad teeth as a kid....my molars were deformed and the enamel didn't completely form. My mom was a single working mother so I was fed McDonalds Happy Meals all of the time. No matter how well I brushed and flossed, I seemed to always have cavities. All of my molars were completely full with fillings before I even went to college. My dentist not once ever told me to cut out soda, sugar, etc.. It might not have done any good as a teenager or when I was in college....it's hard to get out of bad habits you grew up with. I was always skinny so I never thought much about it since back then I equated weight with health, but at some point, if someone had said something at some point, it would have sunk in long before now watching youtube videos.
@@Piper7cub that sounds like unfortunate and unique situation but its great to hear that u are on the right track. While I don’t think it will ever get easier, patient education will always be important. But its tough to hear that u never heard that eating candy sweets can be bad for your health even from a family doctor or a high school or middle school health class.
That's all you tell them?
Your children are going to be so healthy. I wish I would have known all this while I was raising mine. Thank you for the tips. 🎈
Exactly what I was thinking whilst listening to this!
When i told my dentist i had gone carnivore, he laughed at me and said, just get a glucose monitor! I hate ignorant people making fun of something they have no clue about
My 6yo has never had a cavity.
No fluoride, no Junk food, no soda, no juice, only goat milk and meat. He does eat homemade organic chocolate chip cookies.
We don’t eat fast food either. RO water so no fluoride in our water. He gets iodine daily directly into his mouth.,
His adult siblings who ate SAD had tons of cavities.
Oh, and he’s never had any vaxcines, never been on an antibiotic, never had an ear infection, never had strep, never had any over the counter medication, zero health issues.
I would love to see how he’s going in 10-20 years! Fantastic, good on you! He’ll certainly appreciate your efforts in the future! 🎉
Are you sure he needs daily iodine? When I looked at the protocol people suggested for lugols iodine I thought it was like twice a week. I haven’t done a lot of research but figured I would mention it.
Fortunately I live in a village with no fluoride in the water. We were fortunate enough to have Paul Connett in our community. He'd written The Case Against Fluoride. Sadly? Within the past 10 years a neighboring community voted to add fluoride to their water with the encouragement of local medical professionals.
Would love to see Dr. Ellie Phillips on your show. She’s another dentist. Has helped my teeth & gums even after I’ve been carnivore for 1+years. Sh e has different opinions about using baking soda and other ingredients mentioned in this interview. Still very informative. Would love to compare the recommendations from both dentists. Carnivore has been life changing for me!!!
Hello has Ellie Phillips system helped you?
YES!!! Absolutely! My family is on her system now. In combination with her Zellie’s mints & Carnivore 100% my gums are growing back! Slowly and with gum massaging I can see the improvement. Finding all the items in her system constantly is the most challenging part
I had tonsil stones for 30 years. When I went keto, they disappeared. If I eat too many carbs, they sometimes reappear. I wish some doc had told me this 30 years ago! Those things are nasty!!!
I had those too, and judging by my dad's breath, I think he did as well. I've been ketovore for over a year now and I can't remember the last time I had one.
Tonsil stones for me are directly related to ice cream . I eat it I get the stones. I don't and I have none.
Great talk Ken & Kevin! I went the route of becoming a sugar addict as a kid, and if it wasn't for a wake up call of almost losing most of my teeth, I wouldn't have them now. Much appreciated.
Dr. Stock has a lot of knowledge about dental care. He is very knowledgeable and very wise about dental health. Thank you sir, I salute you for your wisdom and knowledge.
This is one of the most informative diet-related interviews I have ever seen.
My dentist told me that I have gingivitis. I have never seen any blood in my mouth during or after brushing or at any other time. However, I brushed my teeth vigorously with hard toothbrushes for years until I was in my thirties and I suspect that is why my gums are slightly recessive. I viewed photographs online of people with gingivitis. I see no evidence that I have areas of darker red inflammation. Recessive gums seem to be my only symptom, although my teeth are sensitive when my dentist cleans my teeth. My teeth are not sensitive at any other time.
I recently read about archeologists who collected skulls going back several centuries of Inuit and Icelandic people, who both had a meat/fish based diet and very limited access to plant foods. The common denominator was that they all had perfect teeth with zero decay.
Well it seems I am a controversial dentist too. I remember one very clear case that made me open my eyes. A very responsive patient started to develop periodontitis with a rapid decline . I knew he was very careful with his oral health . I really tried to help him but it was only when he came to me looking better , feeling better and his oral issues were dramatically improved that the situation improved. He had been diagnosed as diabetic type 2. He meticulously followed a better diet _ not carnivore . But still better.
I never used antibiotics for tooth inflammation/ infection. Surgical treatment unless patient is running a severe fever in case of sepsis risk. You doctors just pop pills . Dentist has to treat root cause - so to speak.
My two caries free boys don't use toothpaste. Their occlusion is perfect. Non of my 5 kids have fillings or cavities. I can actually smell on their breath they have no issues. I am sure Dr Kevin recognise that particular foetor ex ore kids have when their dental status is optimal.
Maybe I'm not particularly bright, but I have no idea what you just said.
@@_Solaris Me, either, LOL.
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529You all obviously have computer access or smart phones... Took me 1 second to look up this phrase "Foetor ex ore", also known as halitosis or bad breath, is an offensive odor that resembles rotten eggs, meat, fish, or feces.2 It is caused by poor oral hygiene, reflected by the amount of calculus and plaque present and visits to the dentist. Foetor ex ore can be a useful indicator of the severity of the disease in subjects with periodontitis.
@@ImstarshineSee my comment above.
@@_SolarisSee my comment above.
Brilliant conversation. Please have Dr. Stock back soon!
Thanks for this interview! I had my wisdom teeth out when I was 24, because a dental surgeon told me they were impacted and growing sideways so they had to come out. Then a few years later I learned that they generally DO look sideways till they're ready to erupt, then they turn themselves (kind of like a baby in a womb) and come out just fine. If I'd known this, I would have saved my money and the stress and gone to work for those 3 days instead of getting dental surgery.
During my third pregnancy, I went to the dentist because I had a filling fall out. Dentist cleaned it all out, said "because you're pregnant, we can't do an X-ray, so I'll just clean it out the best I can and hope for the best, and put in this temporary filling, come back after the baby's born and have a root canal." I never went back for the root canal, and that "temporary" filling lasted 5 years. When it fell out and the tooth broke, I had it removed. I was pregnant again, but told the dentist I'd researched the risk and was satisfied that it was low enough, so he put 2 blankets on me when he took the X-ray. I've never been back to get an implant, or partial denture, I just have a gap there (it was a molar so not really that obvious). The gap doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it and it sounds like that's probably the best way to handle it anyway!
My oldest son (I have 4 kids) is the only one who's ever seen a dentist. Here in Australia, there's a public dental system which lower income people take their kids to. I took him, and they said he had one tooth that needed to come out (it was pretty bad). It seemed like as soon as his molars grew in when he was 2, they started to decay. I'm not sure why - I mean his diet wasn't great, but we didn't feed the other kids much differently when they were the same age and their teeth are fine. I put it down to him having my dad's bad teeth.
So they said because he was so fidgety in the chair, they recommended having him get the tooth pulled under a general anesthetic, and referred us to the major children's hospital here in Adelaide. About 6 months later we got the letter, so we went to see the dentist there, who said the same thing. She also said "we'll just pull all his other bad teeth while he's under, because if we leave them there and he has a problem with one later, we're liable." Um, WHAT?! You're just going to pull out half his baby teeth? And she said he couldn't keep them because of hospital policy. So we never went back, and he kept that bad tooth until it fell out naturally. I did take him to a private dentist later who also said it needed to come out, but the kid just couldn't sit still long enough for a local anesthetic to be of much use. I still wonder if I should have had it removed, because now he doesn't like to chew food because he hasn't had the practice, because his tooth hurt for so long.
No issues with the younger kids' teeth, except the youngest has knocked out 3 by roughhousing! At least he loves steak!
My wisdom teeth are just fine. Was told to get them removed 10+ years ago. I asked why? They couldn't even tell me why!
Doctors, can you please give us some specific examples of the children's diet you are using/recommend? Also would love to see a book written on this subject 🙂
I'm 84 and have been all over the map on toothpastes, Have paradontal issues. Gums have been stabilized, but have suffered bone loss.
I've finally settled on making my own tooth powder. I'm using 50/50 baking soda and arrowroot powder. Whether that's the right thing to do or not I don't know.
There was a holistic dentist in Smithtowm NY, Alexander Schwartzman. Amazing man and amazing person. Somehow he committed suicide which is very suspicious, knowing that great individual. His patients and his staff were posting articles that he was murdered. However years later all the information about him has been wiped out of the internet. God bless holistic dentists and take care of yourself!
Dc.your one of my heroes,your saving lives and making history.I’m a 74 year old carnivore from NC keep going please!
Very enlightening and one of the better interviews I've seen lately.
100% stopped my bleeding gums and gum loss this year since starting Keto January 23. I thought I was going to have to have gum replacement in front… I can’t believe the difference in only 6 months!
I’ve lost 2 bottom teeth already to bone loss. I have another that is sore now and has gotten worse with 3 month dental cleanings. 😢 I’ve been carnivore for 7 months now and I’m not seeing any improvement with my teeth. My gums don’t bleed, though.
@@Sabbathissaturday Well, you might not be able to reverse certain things already in motion, but sounds like you are on the right track to slowing further damage. I too am supposed to go every three months… I am hoping I can change that, but my teeth seem to want to make calculus/tarter, may be genetic.
@@Sabbathissaturdaytake high dose vitamin k2 mk4 45mg and take magnesium glycinate try to aim for the recommended daily dose
Did your gums grow back?
@@mdsingle3 I am happy to report they did! I started Keto at the beginning of the year and really noticed that they were filling back in in mid July. I also had a deep cleaning in July, but they started filling in even before the deep clean. My gums hardly bled during the cleaning for the first time in 40+ years (60yf)
It is so wonderful to see medical professionals and dental professionals to move toward a real answer to our health problems. I feel that I must share this interesting situation with you that happened by accident and I never told my dentist and maybe you will know what happened. I lived with my upper anterior restorations(not ceramic) for over 30 years that had a very weird gum reaction. I had the gums come down and no recession but they were always puffy. No redness or swelling or soreness. I went to a periodontist who said he thought my hygiene was okay and not a cause. I went to another dentist who said that he suspected the metal was not pure and I was allergic to it. One day I decided to try a new way of rinsing when I brushed and flossed. I mixed a capsule of reishi mushroom powder in the water and rinsed for five minutes. I was amazed at how the puffiness went away and has not returned. I had no idea what I was doing and no training in dentistry that would have made me think that this would work. I would be interested to know what you think happened here.
Gotta love these honorable full of wisdom medical professionals
Finally in my 30s I found a dentist and dental hygeinists that praised my carnivore diet and were willing to talk about all of the positives of cutting out the carbs, sugars, and processed foods. Sad I'll be leaving the country in a few weeks but hopefully I can find a more holistic dentist in Korea too! Thank you both and please keep it up on bringing the truth about our diets!!!
if you continue to eat carnivore, it stands to reason, you won't NEED a dentist unless you have an injury to the mouth or gums
My daughters, now 19 and 20) have never had cavities. They have never been low carb, but I managed their diet fairly strictly. Lots of vegetables, some fruits, meat, cheese, grain restriction, and limited sweets. Absolutely NO fluoride! Fluoride free dental products. Never fluoride treatments at the dentist. I distilled our water when we were on city water. They did brush twice a day and floss nightly. Their dentists have always been amazed at how clean their teeth are. With that being said, I do wish I had them on ketovore from the beginning. I believe that would have been the game changer concerning other health issues. Thank you for all the info you give us to help us make better choices going forward!
Since your daughters were on a diet of "restricted grains and limited sweets", they were on a much lower carb diet than the typical American SAD diet! And why their teeth were better.
I love how I am learning about health and history at the same time! Love the content as usual. I sent it to my dental hygienists relatives.
This was an excellent conversation and it has personally helped me to clear up topics I have wondered about. I never understood fully if fluoride was good or bad, I have heard both, but I suspected bad. Now I have find a way to get the fluoride out my water. I am a little upset to learn about implants, since I just this year got my first ones, two in fact and I had no idea that there could have been problems with them. I did have them put in by an oral surgeon and everything went flawlessly. If they would last 25 years I would be happy. Thank you for this very informative video~
Ive just had my root canal removed. It lasted 23 years. In the process of having an implant. Waiting my 6 months to have my bone graft heal. Seeing a specialist in the field.
Great conversation. Please have him on again. My 2 older sons (they are now in their early 30’s). They have fluorosis because they sucked on toothpaste tubes when they were young. I would pull them off the bathroom counters but had I known, I would have locked up the toothpaste.
You and your sons are very lucky they only got fluorosis on their teeth. Fluoride is poison and could have made them very sick or even caused fatality.
I used to go the dentist every 6 months and almost never left without at least one new cavity diagnosed. Once I got rid of the fluoride, that stopped.
Would you say fluoride made it worse?
What a great interview with two awesome doctors!
12:40 Great Point! I found out that Gum Health comes not so much from the outside, as from the inside. With the Right Foods this can be healed, where all the outside stuff failed. Because this is living Tissue that needs to be nurtured from the inside!
As I watched this video, I flossed my teeth. After 2 solid months of strict ketovore, I notice little to no gum bleeding! I also loosened some tartar from the inside of my lower front incisors with the floss!
I used to be able to feel the jagged bottom edge of my front teeth with my tongue and would cut my tongue sometimes, since ive been low carb ketovore, my gums grew back and there is no gap anymore, my gums bleed less and my teeth are healthier
Thank you both so very much for sharing this important information!!! I only wish I knew this sooner and I would have converted my diet sooner. I have adjusted my oral healthcare accordingly. Thank God for you two getting this message out there!!!!
Gingivitus can be painfull keep on top of it get a deep clean use salt water rinces take vitimin d3 vitimin c tumeric brush at a 45 degree angle at upper mouth brush up at 45 degrees on bottom gums gargle with xzylitol in loop warm water to stop the acid forming on your teeth and gums ❤❤❤
What are your thoughts on Xylitol use in the mouth?
There are remineralizing toothpastes on Amazon. My teeth are all mine. I use remineralizing toothpaste and bamboo toothbrush with natural boar bristles. Im 78 and no mouth or tooth pain. Im on carnivore/keto for about a year now...
BRAVO!!! Thank You! A VERY IMPORTANT aspect of our health often not emphasized enough!
Thank You for having Dr. Stock, this topic is eye opening & so helpful to all of us🦷💕🦷
I really appreciate Dr Stock. He’s very knowledgeable but also balanced. He’s realistic about our dental treatments. Like I’ve never heard a holistic dentist ever advise if u get a root canal go to an ENDODONTIST. My dentist always refer us to an endodontist for root canals. I’ve had no problems whatsoever with my 5 root canals.
I know having white teeth is the expectation in the US, but I’ve always wanted to ensure the whites of my eyes are whiter than my teeth & therefore my eyes stand out, not my mouth. So I’ve never whitened my teeth. I do wish my parents had done palette expansion for me so I could have all of my adult teeth, but they did the extraction method and my mouth is forever too small (& I believe that is why I accidentally bite my tongue all the time).
Thanks for this. I was just wondering, if the enamel had come off the teeth, is it possible that a carnivore diet could fix it? Thank you.
Love Dr Stock! This was a great interview
Thank you, Sandy! :)
I found this at the perfect time; My last dentist visit ended in a 700$ treatment suggestion for just early signs of gingivitis. Everytime I leave I feel like they're trying to squeeze money out of me. I'm only 1 month carnivore hoping - to be sustained ketovore - so I'm hoping when I go back and see improvement
Excellent. Fluoride is a halide which interferes with iodine thyroid absorption. National Cancer Institute compared 60 cities, 30 non fluoride and 30 with fluoride for 30 years. Cancer jumped significantly when fluoride started. What they put in city drinking water is really called hydrofluorosilicic acid which is a carcinogen and goes through blood brain barrier and placenta.
Thank you for this info. Can you direct me to where you obtained this info.? Thank you very much.
Yeah, I'd like to see this too - why isn't this taught anywhere and why are people still pushing fluoride with links to cancers?
I hope you can add time stamps for long videos to help the algorithm reach and search because such interviews should be watched by millions!
Yes my teeth stopped bleeding when brushing when I went Keto ❤
What do you eat on keto
I , at 66 years old, no longer brush my teeth. Evolution and pre history man is a favorite topic of mine for a good book read. Right now I started re reading Weston Price's book before I loan it out of my library as well as Dr. of dentistry,
Steven Lin's book.
Effin' dentists told me that I needed a "deep clean" to sort my bleeding gums out, back in February. Started carnivore in April and LO AND BEHOLD(!) my bloody gums not only stopped bleeding, but the flamin' swelling has gone too. Firm gumses now. Bloody dentists.
I'm convinced that breastfeeding has something to do with it too. I'm 60, and my siblings and I all have had lots of cavities and dental work. My daughter, 33, only recently had a very small cavity, my son, none.
Breastfeeding causes the healthiest teeth for nearly the whole life!
I would love to find out more about the success they’ve been seeing with the stem cell implants being done in states like North Dakota ….I’ve heard stories of what I consider miracles where a man had a full recovery and no signs of scaring or problems with his heart after receiving a stem cell treatment plan in North Dakota after he suffered a few massive heart attacks and was given only months to live …the guy who told me this story said he was totally mind blown! When this guy walked into his office and said he was this guys good friend he thought had passed away by then..he looked 20 years younger and was 100% healthy and no longer on disability and working like he was a 30 year old man again…there has been many stories regarding dental implants but with our own teeth being grown from our own stem cells in a lab and then implanted and growing a new tooth in our own mouth….but it’s hard to find info online anymore that’s not the bs narrative
I wish effective and affordable dental stem cell treatments were available now. I had to have a badly infected root canal tooth removed a couple years ago, and it was an important molar for chewing. I don't chew on that side anymore and have experienced bone loss as well as muscle loss on that side of the face. I've also been experiencing jaw spasms occasionally which cause my lower jaw to thrust forward, my lower teeth catch my front upper teeth. That hurts and scares me that my teeth are going to break. Tooth removal can be a trigger for that issue. I found the name for that condition but can't remember it.
"And you know I ain't scared" I'm here for all that 👏
What about the role of xylitol for tooth reminerilization?
Absolutely brilliant interview - one of the most informative I've seen for a long time - thanks Dr Berry for having this great guest onboard. Regards.
Have been on carnivore diet for five years. I brush mine teeth infrequently a few times a week with water only, no toothpaste. I do remove remnants of meat with a toothpick after every meal. My dentist is always giving me kudos for my oral cavity health. Have no bad breath, my gingivitis (from before I started my diet) is long time gone. My tartar build up also seems to recede.
Congrats to you and your progress, keep up the good work!
Excellent interview except fluoride is poison so I don't see how it's a nuanced argument.
I use Redmond Earth Paste due to the limited number of ingredients, fluoride free although it contains bentonite clay.
Thank you both docs ☺️
Redmomds is great
My friend went to a dentist in New Mexico and he asked her if she ever lived in Odessa Texas. He said he could tell by her teeth. Something in the water.
