What this channel does more than absolutely anything else is it gives me a constant reminder of how we as a people have been lied to about absolutely EVERYTHING for decades.
I agree. I've been in the health and nutrition field for about 20 years and I'm amazed how much stuff has surfaced recently how we have been lied to on pretty much everything......seed oils, LDL cholesterol, and so much more. I'm to the point now if the FDA approves an additive or something like that I do the opposite and avoid it. If they say LDL is bad for you, nope it's good for you, etc.
I've been making my own toothpaste for 2.5 years, coconut oil, baking soda and peppermint oil extract, no cavities and so far no issues, just clean white teeth. Glad Dr Berg confirmed it!
@@redmapleleaf4617 Yes, I mix equal amount of each, so one cup of baking soda and one cup of coconut oil, a few drops of an essential oil. This usually lasts me a few months.
@@TheAayatIndia Yes, i've not had any issues. I checked with a dentist a few years ago, they didn't see any problem with this home made tooth paste. The coconut oil seems to act as a protective barrier so your enamel doesn't wear out from the baking soda, if that's what you're concerned about.
i ridiculed my parents whey they told me to use NEEM tree barks instead of tooth paste. My grandfather lived till 100, only used Neem tree barks, Sea Salt and harcoal powder mix. Never had any dental issues. Thanks Dr. Berg for the tooth paste recipe. OLD is always Gold.
Saliva plays an essential role in maintaining a healthy oral health.Our oral health is protected by saliva. Every time I watch one of your videos I'm so happy that there are still people like you who actually care about the health of the people. Thank you Dr Berg for the homemade toothpaste recipe.
Just like our gut biome, the ingredients in OTC paste and mouthwash will kill the good bacteria in our mouths which is what helps fight the bad ones...
I am 62 and have been using this recipe for over 10yrs. I have tried some of the "natural" toothpastes but my own concoction seems to work just as well, costs a lot less too! I have fun experimenting with using different essential oils (love spearmint + clove). I have also dabbled in a bit of oil-pulling. In any case, I have had no dental issues whatsoever! This man's advice is priceless! ❤
The anti-plaque recipe and protocol absolutely work! I descaled my teeth, brushed (very soft toothbrush) with this toothpaste recipe, then followed up with 5min. of oil pulling (coconut oil and clove oil before bed, peppermint in the morning) for 10 days or so. Zero build up, whiter teeth, perfectly smooth surfaces. I never had this good or this long lasting of a result with regular toothpaste (2x per day), flossing (daily), and mouthwash. Two thumbs way up, Dr. berg!!
This is new to me, but so interesting. I believe this is something for me to do. Would you mind elaborating on the mixture for the oil pulling? What are your ingredient measurements? TIA
@@Lorgayle1 After brushing your teeth, put 2-3 teaspoons of coconut oil with 2-3 drops of clove oil in your mouth. Pull/push the oil between your teeth for about 10 minutes.
Again, I've been duped! My toothpaste was fluoride free but had sodium laureth sulfate, and carriageenan. Thank you Dr. Berg! Can't believe I never noticed.
I started using toothpaste with no sodium Laurel sulphate years ago, sometimes I go back to using normal toothpaste for a few days if I go somewhere and forget to take my own toothpaste and within a few days my mouth is dry and I can taste bad breath, SLS is a degreaser... Im ditching my toothpaste and making my own, even the one I get from health shops is full of toxins
I just use a little baking soda on a wet toothbrush and that is my toothpaste. I learned this one in prison, which is the only option available for those without money in there. I tried "fancying" it up, but it is more work than it is worth. I have absolutely no plague and have not even had to have my teeth cleaned in over 10 years so far.
@@kegalormoon I found prison extremely educational, and I really fine-tuned my spiritual practices while in there. Truth is, I have lost more teeth since leaving (I was 53), but that is because I have cracked enamel from taking tetracycline as a baby.
A bulk recipe. I did my best :) 3/4 cup or 12 tablespoons or 36 teaspoons coconut oil 9 teaspoons or 3 tablespoons baking soda 4-1/2 teaspoons H202 or 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon 36 drops Cloves or Cinnamon
I brush with just Clove and I love it. Not Clove oil though, but ground up whole cloves, so it's a powder. Found in the spice section of grocery stores. It makes my mouth feel super clean, and it has really improved my gums! I also suck and chew on a whole clove bud in the morning and at night. I use Hydrogen Peroxide for a mouth wash too sometimes. His recipe is great! Just don't forget the clove, it really is amazing!
I love Dr. Berg's videos but I also retain a healthy amount of skepticism about everything I watch online. Yet when I scroll down to see that he actually summarized the video's main points and put the recipe straight in the description - thus allowing people to skip the video and not watch to the end - I have to say, that definitely gains my trust. That makes me feel like he's not just here for the views or the stats. He really does want to help people and disseminate this information in a way that is as easy as possible to understand. Love it. Thank you for all the awesome info!!
Excellent, Doc, I conquered candida overgrowth in my mouth by simply brushing with unrefined coconut oil and then my mouthwash is 1 oz distilled water, half teaspoon pink Himalayan salt, half teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon avocado oil, 6 drops peppermint oil, and six drops tea tree oil. 3 months in between cleanings and my dental hygienist was astounded at how healthy my gums were and that there was literally nothing to clean off my teeth and just as importantly, I Incorporated the same treatment to my sinuses but instead of six drops each on the essential oils just two drops each and not only has bad breath vanished but no more swelling in my sinuses. Doc you never fail to bring crucial knowledge regarding health and well-being and you are greatly appreciated.
Have been using baking soda, coconut oil and peppermint tea essential oil for a few months now and my teeth are whiter, stay clean for longer and there is absolutely no difference apart from that it is better than the toothpaste. Wish I started this earlier.
If the amount of time someone has sat in a dentists chair was a measure of dental experience I’d be a leading expert in the field. My teeth were already bad to begin with since I was a teenager, but then years of vegetarianism and a few years of veganism ruined my teeth, and I paid for it dearly; rampant tooth decay, half a dozen root canals, extractions, infections, abscesses, antibiotics, complex and extensive dental caries, the list goes on .... going to the dentists became a course in torture, needles, freezing, pain, this went on for decades. Then I switched to a high cholesterol, high fat, high protein and high salt diet, and included supplements of fish oils and super mega doses of vitamin D3, about 50 drops (50 iu) per day. Within about three months ALL my dental pain suddenly disappeared, jaw pain, mandible and maxillary pain, cavity pain and generalized mouth pain stopped. Veganism was ok, for a while, for me, but it should have only been a temporary diet, not a long term activity.
I think you should study the Miswak, as it is used to clean the teeth. The Miswak is a wooden piece of the roots of the Arak tree (family: Salvadora persica), an evergreen shrub found in the Arabian Peninsula region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The miswak is also obtained from the trees of Al-Ashal, Al-Basham, and Al-Dhuru, but the miswak from the Arak tree is the best of them.
It’s done that for my whole childhood and I developed chronic candidasis as a result, definitely wish I didn’t have to skip brushing my teeth. I’m following his advice for candida but it struck me that I was always more sensitive to it, and the commercial toothpaste sucks, always make your own homemade toothpaste
Hi Dr Berg Had to come on here to thank you. My wife found this video and made toothpaste based on your suggestion Ive been a type 1 diabetic for over 25 years and God has blessed me with good health. However i always have had a dry mouth problem and yellowing teeth and as a result my breath would smell within an hour or two of brushing and flossing. And in the mornings my breath was like a dragon. After trying your toothpaste it literally changed my oral health. My mouth is moist all day and as a result no more bad breath! Just like that! I was shocked! Also my teeth are whiter! I didnt even consider toothpaste was the issue! Also the toothpase has a wonderful taste (but i dont swallow it of course!) Thank you again
i went back on keto recently and i took some potassium supplement and developed toothache, i wondered why and looked into it without much luck, i thought about the youtube video about electrolytes with the lightbulb and realised the potassium had reactivated my nervous system and the pain was a mild gum infection but was being masked or turned of by sugar consumption, so not only is sugar causing so many illness's but it masks the symptoms also making it a minefield to diagnose.
Thank you so much Doctor! I've stopped using toothpaste like a month ago ,instead I started brushing my teeth with something calls The "PEELU STICK" or "MISWAK" it's a natural Toothbrush that helps you clean your teeth without damaging the enamel or gums.
Thank you for explaining the undesirable ingredients to us. It’s much easier to understand the them and their repercussions because the of way you deliver the information. It’s also better than trying to read and understand a label on a product or box. And thank you for offering an alternative product to make and use for ourselves.
Honestly Dr Berg is telepathic in being able to anticipate need of information. Great Team you have! Also, its weird that even if someone writes an entire synopsis in the comments I still like to hear Dr. Berg say it verbally.
I mixed this together today. I used peppermint because I didn’t have cloves or cinnamon. My teeth feel cleaner now. More clean than using the commercial stuff. I’m thinking of tripling this recipe so I don’t have to make so often. This is the best homemade toothpaste I’ve tried. The only problem is using an electric toothbrush, which gets a bit oily on the handle, but will live with it.
My husband and I recently began noticing gum and mouth irritation and dental hygenist said I had some stains and more plaque than usual so suggested a $1600 deep cleaning. I declined for the time being because I suspected something else was going on. Just recently heard a naturopath who said 'check your toothpastes, they're full of irritants and additives. She mentioned the following as causing problems, sure enough the toothpaste we had used for years had been changed recently and all of this was in it plus parabens in the mouthwash my husband was using. Some of these formulas change without notice and often we don't read the small print, but we sure will be doing that now. Here are some that she said to check for and Dr. Berg also mentioned: Sodium Laurel Sulfate: This is a foaming agent added only because people think if they see suds, that their teeth are being cleaned. As it turns out that quite a few people have outright allergies to this product and just as bad, can irritate your salvia ducts and it often stains the teeth; Glycerine: She said this was added because people want to run their tongue over their teeth and have that smooth feeling, but it is a waxy type substance that clings to the teeth, isn’t easily rinsed off or dissolved with saliva and bacteria can also cling to it; Artificial sweeteners: These are added for taste only and often they are ones found to not be safe. The toothpaste we were using had both saccharine and another artificial sweetener that we would never use but it was in our toothpaste we were using daily. Peroxide: this is a bleach and used as a whitener, but has been found to actually weaken enamel and is a gum irritant and can cause tooth sensitivity. Artificial colors: they tint some toothpaste green for example because the flavor is mint green and this is has no use to help dental health. Fluoride: A lot of people don't like it because it can be toxic but hard to find toothpastes these days without it.
I love your channel. It always seems like you're giving honest advice to actually HELP people rather than profit off them. we need more dr's like you in the world
❤Facts!!! ❤ I only got cavities as a kid. As a teenager and now an adult I have no issues. When I go to the dentist they always comment on how active my salivary glands are while checking my teeth. I’ve been told (almost every time) that is why I don’t have cavities because saliva prevents tooth decay. I also love the recipe for toothpaste. I don’t use mouthwash and my breath is always fresh. I’ve used hydrogen peroxide as a “mouthwash” for decades, and once a week use coconut oil to swish around a bit for a couple minutes. Sharing this last part could get me hurt. I don’t really use toothpaste that much, I just brush with water. My wife uses lots of toothpaste and brushes several times a day. She has “chronic” halitosis. Killing all her natural prevention. Maybe if I make this toothpaste I can get her to switch.
Same. I only got cavities as a kid too and i would use toothpaste all the time. I don’t know why but i started brushing without toothpaste. I think it was because i was a bit lazy and just wanted to take a few quick seconds to brush off any plaque on my teeth instead of using tooth paste and rinsing it out of my mouth. Anyways, i guess months would go by and everything would be fine. Then i would think to myself, i probably should be using toothpaste. After a few days of using toothpaste, i could feel my teeth start to hurt, it really felt like i was getting cavities. Ive went back and forth from using toothpaste and stopping. Even though my mouth felt clean when i used toothpaste i realized it was making my teeth hurt. Ive been to the dentist and I’ve never had any cavities since I’ve stopped using toothpaste. So i pretty much just brush my teeth with water only now. Occasionally I’ll do oil pulling with coconut oil and floss when ever i eat anything sweet with sugar like candy, ice cream, etc. for a more thorough cleaning otherwise my gums/teeth will start to feel agitated. I never have this problem when i eat fruits though.
Isnt peroxide toxic if you have silver fillings? Ive been using Dr Bergs recipe for a few months and my teeth look so much better BUT im worried about the proxide and my silver fillings in my mouth.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg. I used to make my tooth paste with just baking soda, coconut oil, pinch of sea salt , clove oil. I will use your recipe as well as add castor oil. I started using castor oil for oil pulling which I really like. God bless you for all your health tips. I truly appreciate you.
I have a question, I am curious as to why Dr. Berg only mentioned cinnamon and clove oils. What about spearmint, wintergreen, or peppermint? I understand cloves assist in teeth sensitivity. Just curious. I make lotions and antibiotics thanks to all the knowledge Dr. E. Berg shares! I am on the path to true healthy living! I am down 100 lbs thank you Dr. Eric Berg! I feel better than ever today, and I can say I was hit by a mack truck! I just want to share all that I am learning with others. We have to promote healthy living! We as a whole, have been intentionally lied to about true health care by our government, big pharma. We must share the truth! Thank you so much Dr. E. BERG!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!
I use Earth Paste. It only has purified water, bentonite clay, sea salt, spearmint essential oil, menthol and tea tree oil. I started using due to allergies. Cleans my teeth very well.
Everyone in my family has had major dental problems for ages and no one would listen to me when I warned them about these toothpastes. Me being the youngest was always undermined. I for some reason knew that toothpaste is the only regular thing that goes in your mouth along with water so I started cleaning my teeth with just water and a soft toothbrush since I was 15. I'm 29 years old now and never had any dental problems. I'm going to make this homemade toothpaste this weekend.
I've been doing just baking soda+h2o2 for over 2 years now. Will never switch back to a commercial toothpaste. Will try this recipe as an addition. Thanks dr.Berg for the idea!
Thanks. I'll try it. I stopped using fluoride toothpaste ages ago but then found out the fluoride free type had a different carcinogen added. Carboxymethylcellulose. Warms your heart doesn't it Benevolence personified.
I make a powder to brush with: Equal parts baking soda(I use Bob’s Red Mill-it tastes better and is a good company) and finally ground Himalayan salt. 1/3 part raw cacao 1/4 part birch xylitol Make sure you brush away from the gum line instead of across the teeth, your gums will say thank you! Coconut oil can be tough because its consistency changes with the temperature. Sometimes your toothpaste is too hard, sometimes it’s too runny.
I read that during the extraction process of xylitol aluminium is used and there may be residus of aluminium in the xylitol powder. None of the manufacturers comments on this. I would like to know if that is true or not
I have been making my own toothpaste for years now and would never go back. Use to have sensitive teeth and used a toothpaste for sensitive teeth and honestly I think it was the toothpaste making them sensitive because when I switched to homemade toothpaste the sensitivity went away. My breath improved as well. My teeth actually feel clean after brushing, they didn't feel all that clean using a commercial toothpaste.
Tried this natural recipe for a week now - Amazing! Teeth clean and super fresh breath even after awaking from my slumber! My wife approves and now she's on her way to ditching our expensive fluoride-free toothpaste. Although, I've reduce the quantity of baking soda to 1/4 tsp due to the overwhelming salty taste. Just a shame you can't pre-mix all the ingredients...or can you? Thank you Dr.Berg, keep dropping these gems of nature's finest.
I've been making my own toothpaste for years now. I just use part baking soda and part vco. Then I add some drops of tea tree oil and clove oil. I also add thieves essential oil and lastly activated charcoal. I feel really refreshed using it compared to regular toothpaste and I haven't had any extra problems. I've always had bad teeth so this has really helped me and it's way cheaper.
For anyone struggling with cavities or other dental problems I highly recommend you look up 'oil pulling'. This practice has been known to reverse cavities, gum disease, also whitens teeth plus so many other benefits.
@@fisayopeters4534 Coconut oil is best! I use 1 teaspoon first thing in the morning before brushing teeth (oil pulling should be done on an empty stomach).
Doc I use charcoal from rice husk mix with turmeric, black peper, and sea salt. I make this and put in a small tin it will last for almost an year.. it's traditional way in India. But not many follow this now
I add tumeric to mine, its great for whitening. Also, I never understood why people think that breath should be minty, who decided this. I cant bear the extreme harsh mint of mouth products. As a kid I was afraid of brushing my teeth because it was too intense for me.
I save your videos, as I don't trust what they might do to your channel once they would know, "there is a man who share such natural stuff free of cost . "
Ever since I subscribed to your channel, I never looked back. Your deep knowledge about nutrition and health is priceless. Thank you Dr Berg you have made such a huge impact in my life and yet I have never personally met you. I am Dakalo in South Africa.
I've been drinking your electrolyte water supplement (alongside additional magnesium bisglycinate and potassium bicarbonate) and my mouth feels great! Even before this video I had the thought "Hmm, I feel like my mouth's microbiome is healthier.." I can never go back to empty water; it dries my mouth out way too much! Thank you Dr. Berg 👍
About 10 years ago I found a clove based mouthwash from a small company. It was sold online through Amazon. It was very inexpensive and worked great - it wasn't "minty fresh" but it worked great. Then I noticed the price going up and then each bottle was priced at almost $100!! Seems someone bought the entire inventory and was reselling at a very inflated price. Then the mouthwash disappeared all together. This would be a great product to add to you line, Dr. Berg. I feel that someone bought the small company and are sitting on the "recipe". I cannot find a pure clove mouthwash anywhere. Please consider.
Great video! I was buying "fluoride-free" toothpaste, but not only are they more expensive, many contain the other harmful ingredients. Will definitely try.
Hi Dr Berg! Been doing this for 5 yrs already minus the essential oils and my teeth look great! Glad I dumped regular toothpaste. Thank you for all your great videos!
I started making my own toothpaste at the beginning of this year. I use 1/2 and 1/2 of coconut oil and baking soda, then add in vanilla, peppermint or a clove/cinnamon essential oil, and stevia
@@vickster4474 wow, thanks, well, I might try it out myself too. 1/2 tsp coconut oil and 1/2 tsp baking soda seems simple but effective. Many people in these comments eventually just stick to oil pulling every day, and end up using any baking soda related toothpaste they made once a week. As they supposedly felt that baking soda was too strong. I assume you do morning and night? And, how often do you make it; do you make a bigger batch and store it in a sealed container in a cabinet, or even fridge, for a month? sorry if these questions seem bothersome, but not so many people out there make their own toothpaste or share in detail about it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
@@Iog no problem. I only brush my teeth in the morning-personal preference all my life-I do a big batch and then put it in two mini silicone travel containers typically used for lotion. I use a recipe as follows: 4 tbsp each of baking soda and coconut, 1 tbsp of stevia sweetener, 20 drops of peppermint oil, 10 drops of real vanilla. I found I prefer peppermint over the clove/cinnamon. Mix all together and put in the containers. No fridge-I keep one in a drawer in the bathroom. Between both - one in use-one on hold- I usually only have to make up another batch about every three weeks or so. It took me about 2 weeks to get used to the abrasiveness of the baking soda and then I didn't notice anymore. I also use a soft toothbrush. My teeth and gums have never been better.
@@vickster4474 That is very interesting how you felt the abrasiveness. The internet rates baking soda a 7 on the abrasive scale, compared to toothpaste which is usually a 20 to 70 in RDA ranking. In either case, for me it can be scary that the enamel doesn't regrow back. Ultimately the best thing to do is avoid sugar, which yes, for me is doable, but I am still a young lad who wants stuff my face with cookies at times. The remineralization is naturally done without fluoride, although it would take half the time. Personally I don't mind fluoride, might even use it as I get older, but it really is all the other stuff they bundle in with the toothpaste that puts me off. I have in the past used some baking soda in a cup of water to rinse, very diluted; so often times it does not come off as abrasive, but it was effective for getting food out, etc. I stopped using it because sometimes my eyes feel a bit irritated, and googling stuff about it leads to me believe that if I keep using it, my eyes could potentially acquire damage in the long run by any dust particles of it... so I guess I might have to be that dude who wears glasses or something handling it as if I was back in chemistry class... or just man up a bit. The oil stuff is really new to me, that is why I asked. Very informative response, thank you. So then, for me, I think what I will do, is perhaps try out a weekly batch amount to see if I like it, I will leave out the sweetener, peppermint oil, and vanilla flavourings... unless you think that stuff is essential is some ways. But ultimately I think, it will just be the coconut oil and baking soda. I might also lower the baking soda amount, to a ratio closer to 2:1, or 3:1 (coconut oil : baking soda), as I would mostly likely brush every morning and night; if I were to brush one time, it would probably be in the evening, as it would follow more closely to my after meal hours, and it wouldn't be immediately before lying down to sleep. Also, I think only-mornings do not make much sense personally, and for most people who eat 3 meals a day, as you would normally eat shortly after; meaning one's mouth is filled all day and night of those potentially lingering bacteria, only to get a short window of cleaning in the grand scheme of that 24 hr time frame. But that is just my thought process of it. If I feel any abrasiveness too strong for me, then I might reduce it to once a day as well for the evening, and gargling plain old water in the mornings I suppose. Or if the opposite, then I might consider doing a more even ratio, or in the future a mixture with a Dr Bronners herbal toothpaste, as out of all the toothpastes on the market, those seem the safest. Anyways, this was a long response, but hopefully I painted a clearer picture. It is something I will likely do for a very long time. I appreciate your input, and any following input you may have for me to look into. In either case, thanks.
Thank you! I've been buying fluoride free toothpaste for a couple years but it's actually so expensive and I was thinking about making my own, so this comes at the perfect time. God bless you 🙏
@DrEricBergDC I am afraid to use the wrong oil. I see that alot of them say "essential oil" but also "aromatherapy" or am I supposed to be looking for food grade? Or as long as it doesn't say aromatherapy?
Where is the baking soda for? I asked my dentist and she said it destroys the enamel if used regularly Could you maybe elaborate why you advice it? I trust you more than our regular medical personnel btw, just curious about the why
That was my understanding too. Maybe it's a small amount in his recipe? My pharmacist suggested good ole A&H baking soda toothpaste. Must take a look at it and read ingredients. As a senior citizens, I find there is so much information out there, it's hard to keep up. I hope someone answers our question regarding baking soda.
Awesome recipe. I swish with organic liquid coconut oil fot 10 minutes, brush gently with a battery-powered soft bristle brush if needed, and follow the oil with essential oils of Pepoermint, Lemongrass, Clove, Eucalyptus, and Lavender.
Thank you! I have a daughter with potential Candida; doctors remain mystified? We continue to remove potentials, similar to diagnosing Fibromyalgia, without success. Her condition is definitely mouth/gut/excretion connected, and since we tried most things, I'm making a paste tonight. Again, thank you!
I'm going to give this recipe a try. Currently I brush with a mixture of bentonite clay, baking soda, sea salt, and cloves. I add a little bit of non-flouride toothpaste such as NOW Xyli White which is flouride free, SLS free, and paraben free. It does have carrageenan (bummer!).
Thank you for the tip on toothpaste. I do use good toothpaste. I am with you on all the chemicals today. When I was young, and we did have to worry about all this crap, and now you have to deal every day and battle just to stay healthy. Not only the food, but it's also all in the furniture, especially in places like Wal mart and Target, and all the warnings of Prep 65 on the package. I recently purchased a card table and four chairs. They had the lead in them, and I was shocked and took them back. Chinese dry wall and the flooring as well.
Thanks for all the great info. I am going to use this recipe but alter it somewhat. Hydrogen peroxide will be left out because I have silver fillings and I have heard that mercury leches out when exposed to hydrogen peroxide. Also, I see someone using peppermint oil instead of clove oil, and I like peppermint oil better.
Not to dissuade anybody form using the coconut oil as a base, cause I've used this same recipe and it works very well. However, you need to be careful when spitting out the toothpaste as the coconut oil can eventually (will?) plug your drain. I ended up having to take the trap apart and found it completely plugged. None of the standard drain cleaners did much to help but once apart, the block of hardened coconut oil pulled right out.
I brush my teeth with baking soda then squirt some 3% hydrogen peroxide on my toothbrush, since I watched some of your videos. I literally had chunks of tartar falling off of my teeth. At first I was concerned, because I thought it was my tooth chipping! But it was the entire piece of tartar on one of my teefies! (:
I just tried this. (With tallow beef fat instead of coconut oil) also added some xylitol. Then I brushed my teeth immediately. It was a great cleanser and felt great, my teeth look and feel amazing, and it felt like I was salivating as I was brushing. Really interesting. Did mine with clove. Tasted great! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
That's a really good home made toothpaste. The one I use is Nutriscript ozonated olive oil toothpaste which has ingredients as follows: Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Activated Oxygen (Ozone) Xylitol, Sodium Bicarbonate, Mentha Spicata (Spearmint) Leaf Oil Note the similarities!
@@muratsenturk83 I'm sure the manufacturer would know, but just looking at the product list order, and the thickness / color of the ozonated oil you can tell it's mostly that (over 90%), and the other stuff is added to make it taste better and for additional dental benefit. All other ingredients will likely be a tiny percentage.
I have heard of many people that have only used sea salt or Celtic salt to brush their teeth their entire life's with no cavities or tooth, gum issues!
I started using a holistic brand oral health’s tooth brushing essential and carrier oil blend. It has almond, peppermint, spearmint, and tea tree oil. It’s incredibly potent so I mix that with coconut oil. A couple of drops are viscous but with the added carrier oil, it feels great so far. I love the way my teeth feel.
Thank you for putting this information out. It’s amazing how many toxins are put in our food and products we put on our skin. It’s all changing because people like you are willing to put the information out! Many thanks!
I use all of these when making my natural toothpaste never thought about the hydro peroxide though thank you! Love 💖 your content Dr. Berg much love to you and your family. 🤝🙏❤️ Always,🌹
We stopped useing glycerine-based toothpaste, years ago, and began making a tooth powder consisting of: baking soda, bentonite clay powder, activated coconut shell charcoal, green black walnut hull powder, and sea salt. (Sometomes ground clove powder.) btw~ propylene glycol is also a vä$$íne ingredient, for years.
I literally made my own toothpaste a couple of weeks ago, with the same ingredients. I didn’t add anything for flavor, though. My teeth look and feel amazing and I’ve quit having a weird taste in my mouth from toothpastes!
@@farealwitit7947 I usually brush once a day and swish the second time. The baking soda and coconut oil combined is effective enough. Several times a week I do just coconut oil pulling, then swish with Himalayan salt water. (I buy Himalayan salt @ Dollar Tree. 😉)
When I was a child I knew something was wrong, I had cavities almost constantly despite frequent brushing. In my child-mind I boiled it down to abrasives in tootpaste giving bacteria a place to hide and nest. Stopped using toothpaste around 12, am now in 30s, I just brush twice daily, thoroughly. Been cavity free since. These days I also brush with some baking soda as well. Toothpaste is one of the harder ones to convince people that they don't actually need, when folk hear my story they look at me like I'm some kind of freak and expect my breath to smell bad.
What do you mean? You dont use any paste at all of some kinds? Only brushing with water & tootbrush? There is a tree in middle east & africa that people still to this day use to brush their teeth, because it contains something that cleans the teeth and prevents cavities, i daresay it was fluoride but i could be wrong. But this was what ppl used in the olden days to remove bad smell & clean mouth, it's called "miswak" the tree toothbrush
@@UniqueGeekFreak Just a toothbrush and water. My grandma used to use twigs from trees, she had healthy teeth too, that's interesting you mention that.
I want to try this. A couple of possibly dumb questions: 1. Do we use fractionated coconut oil or regular coconut oil. 2. The cinnamon or cloves.......essential oils or regular oils? I have clove oil in my food pantry right now - not an essential oil.
I used the commercial stuff growing up. Root canals were the result. I knew it had to stop. Since stopped the bad stuff, I don't have to have cavities. Oil pulling is everything🙂. Sadly, those lost teeth are lost. Root canals don't last. When we know better, we do better. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
I just started oil pulling and its difficult lol do you think doing it twice a day for 5 minutes each is good? Also, which benefits have you experienced with oil pulling. Annnd I've just started it like a couple days ago and I'm getting headaches, is that normal?
@@rainnnnnn372 yes. It was definitely difficult to do it for 15 minutes the first time. I was like, no way. But just do it a little longer each time so 5 minutes is totally fine. You'll get used to it and you can do it a little longer. Make sure you rinse out your mouth with clean water afterwards. I actually use spring bottled water to avoid the chlorination it's not that wasteful because I don't need that much. The best benefit is that I just don't get cavities now.
@@rainnnnnn372 Oh and about the headache, I'm not a doctor or anything, but I heard that you could be detoxing because oil pulling not only cleans your teeth but it does pull toxins out of your mouth so it could make you feel bad for a while. I didn't have that experience, but I guess you could Google something like oil pulling headache.
My great grandma brushed her teeth with baking soda and rinsed with peroxide. She lived to 85, never had a cavity and died with all of her original teeth. I'm going to try this recipe. I've brushed with just baking soda, but my mouth didn't feel "minty"... so in my mind my mouth wasn't clean enough. I do rinse with peroxide once in a while though. Would pepper mint oil be beneficial?? I really like the minty feeling. Lol.
The dentist recommended pastes like Colgate total also have other ingredients that I'm guessing r equally risky like titanium dioxide, titanium dioxide coated mica, sodium carboxylmethyl cellulose, zinc citrate trihydrate, tetradodium, poloxamer 407 n Cl 74260 n 47005 whatever that means!! If thers any suggestions on any paste please tell 🙏 Also if u can do a video on pastes that r good in yr opinion.. watching many videos n have some names. Even ordered eg Eco dent which is a baking soda powder with other ingredients.. hoping its good. My dentist only suggests Colgate total!
This is _awesome!_ Thank you for this. This I can do! Honestly, this explains so much. To completely _beat SIBO_ this is the final step, and I fully appreciate this!
I have been brushing with baking soda mixed in water. My research showed not to use it for too long or it could wear away the enamel. Is this true? Should I mix it where it is a paste or make it runny? Thank you for your guidance.
I gave up on peroxide as it will react with baking soda right away and give a lot of bubbles, then the active ingredient of peroxide is all gone. I added some xylitol instead. Thanks Dr Berg.
Thanks doc for having such good medical advice. Love your videos I have bulging veins on my hands and forearms it started showing up in my early 40's and just kept getting worse with age. I am 59 is there anything that can be done to fix this? What causes this problem?

What this channel does more than absolutely anything else is it gives me a constant reminder of how we as a people have been lied to about absolutely EVERYTHING for decades.
Sinister
Exactly
I agree. I've been in the health and nutrition field for about 20 years and I'm amazed how much stuff has surfaced recently how we have been lied to on pretty much everything......seed oils, LDL cholesterol, and so much more. I'm to the point now if the FDA approves an additive or something like that I do the opposite and avoid it. If they say LDL is bad for you, nope it's good for you, etc.
Be careful with such comments. The more of them, the more likely it is that we may soon not be able to watch what Dr Berg has to tell us.
Except for the whitening toothpaste, because everyone knows that it "REALLY" works 😬
I've been making my own toothpaste for 2.5 years, coconut oil, baking soda and peppermint oil extract, no cavities and so far no issues, just clean white teeth. Glad Dr Berg confirmed it!
Can one mix a quantity for a week's worth or do you mix it up daily?
@@redmapleleaf4617 Yes, I mix equal amount of each, so one cup of baking soda and one cup of coconut oil, a few drops of an essential oil. This usually lasts me a few months.

@@TheAayatIndia Yes, i've not had any issues. I checked with a dentist a few years ago, they didn't see any problem with this home made tooth paste. The coconut oil seems to act as a protective barrier so your enamel doesn't wear out from the baking soda, if that's what you're concerned about.

@@Drberg Dr. Berg, do you like the idea of adding a 5th item, xylitol, to control oral candida?
The anti-plaque recipe and protocol absolutely work! I descaled my teeth, brushed (very soft toothbrush) with this toothpaste recipe, then followed up with 5min. of oil pulling (coconut oil and clove oil before bed, peppermint in the morning) for 10 days or so. Zero build up, whiter teeth, perfectly smooth surfaces. I never had this good or this long lasting of a result with regular toothpaste (2x per day), flossing (daily), and mouthwash.

Again, I've been duped! My toothpaste was fluoride free but had sodium laureth sulfate, and carriageenan.
Thank you Dr. Berg! Can't believe I never noticed.
This makes so much sense why my mouth gets so dry after brushing my teeth, this could also explain receding gums even when brushing regularly
I started using toothpaste with no sodium Laurel sulphate years ago, sometimes I go back to using normal toothpaste for a few days if I go somewhere and forget to take my own toothpaste and within a few days my mouth is dry and I can taste bad breath, SLS is a degreaser... Im ditching my toothpaste and making my own, even the one I get from health shops is full of toxins
I just use a little baking soda on a wet toothbrush and that is my toothpaste. I learned this one in prison, which is the only option available for those without money in there. I tried "fancying" it up, but it is more work than it is worth. I have absolutely no plague and have not even had to have my teeth cleaned in over 10 years so far.

A bulk recipe. I did my best :)
3/4 cup or 12 tablespoons or 36 teaspoons coconut oil
9 teaspoons or 3 tablespoons baking soda
4-1/2 teaspoons H202 or 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon
36 drops Cloves or Cinnamon
I brush with just Clove and I love it. Not Clove oil though, but ground up whole cloves, so it's a powder. Found in the spice section of grocery stores. It makes my mouth feel super clean, and it has really improved my gums! I also suck and chew on a whole clove bud in the morning and at night. I use Hydrogen Peroxide for a mouth wash too sometimes. His recipe is great! Just don't forget the clove, it really is amazing!
I love Dr. Berg's videos but I also retain a healthy amount of skepticism about everything I watch online. Yet when I scroll down to see that he actually summarized the video's main points and put the recipe straight in the description - thus allowing people to skip the video and not watch to the end - I have to say, that definitely gains my trust. That makes me feel like he's not just here for the views or the stats. He really does want to help people and disseminate this information in a way that is as easy as possible to understand. Love it. Thank you for all the awesome info!!
I have watched Dr. Berg for 10 years now, and l can assure you, you have no need for skepticism. 😊.

I started using baking soda about 70% of time and was having problems with teeth and gums and they have improved significantly just with baking soda
My grandmother said the exact same thing 👍🏻
Excellent, Doc, I conquered candida overgrowth in my mouth by simply brushing with unrefined coconut oil and then my mouthwash is 1 oz distilled water, half teaspoon pink Himalayan salt, half teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon avocado oil, 6 drops peppermint oil, and six drops tea tree oil. 3 months in between cleanings and my dental hygienist was astounded at how healthy my gums were and that there was literally nothing to clean off my teeth and just as importantly, I Incorporated the same treatment to my sinuses but instead of six drops each on the essential oils just two drops each and not only has bad breath vanished but no more swelling in my sinuses.
Doc you never fail to bring crucial knowledge regarding health and well-being and you are greatly appreciated.
You're welcome. Thanks for sharing your experience here. Stay safe and healthy!
Have been using baking soda, coconut oil and peppermint tea essential oil for a few months now and my teeth are whiter, stay clean for longer and there is absolutely no difference apart from that it is better than the toothpaste. Wish I started this earlier.
I've been doing that too for a month and have seen no difference in whiter teeth. Why?
If the amount of time someone has sat in a dentists chair was a measure of dental experience I’d be a leading expert in the field. My teeth were already bad to begin with since I was a teenager, but then years of vegetarianism and a few years of veganism ruined my teeth, and I paid for it dearly; rampant tooth decay, half a dozen root canals, extractions, infections, abscesses, antibiotics, complex and extensive dental caries, the list goes on .... going to the dentists became a course in torture, needles, freezing, pain, this went on for decades. Then I switched to a high cholesterol, high fat, high protein and high salt diet, and included supplements of fish oils and super mega doses of vitamin D3, about 50 drops (50 iu) per day. Within about three months ALL my dental pain suddenly disappeared, jaw pain, mandible and maxillary pain, cavity pain and generalized mouth pain stopped. Veganism was ok, for a while, for me, but it should have only been a temporary diet, not a long term activity.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
Nothing to do with being vegetarian .. i have for 40 odd years mine have always been fine, !!
I think you should study the Miswak, as it is used to clean the teeth. The Miswak is a wooden piece of the roots of the Arak tree (family: Salvadora persica), an evergreen shrub found in the Arabian Peninsula region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The miswak is also obtained from the trees of Al-Ashal, Al-Basham, and Al-Dhuru, but the miswak from the Arak tree is the best of them.
Agree
This is beautiful! I use to use a miswak stick and this was my first time seeing someone mention it
Brilliant, because for the last 2 years toothpaste makes me feel sick. I started brushing with cocont oil and baking soda.
It’s done that for my whole childhood and I developed chronic candidasis as a result, definitely wish I didn’t have to skip brushing my teeth. I’m following his advice for candida but it struck me that I was always more sensitive to it, and the commercial toothpaste sucks, always make your own homemade toothpaste
Dr berg breaking immense boundaries in the medical field, speaking things professionals are scared to speak. God protect this man at all costs!
Hi Dr Berg
Had to come on here to thank you. My wife found this video and made toothpaste based on your suggestion
Ive been a type 1 diabetic for over 25 years and God has blessed me with good health. However i always have had a dry mouth problem and yellowing teeth and as a result my breath would smell within an hour or two of brushing and flossing. And in the mornings my breath was like a dragon. After trying your toothpaste it literally changed my oral health.
My mouth is moist all day and as a result no more bad breath! Just like that! I was shocked! Also my teeth are whiter! I didnt even consider toothpaste was the issue! Also the toothpase has a wonderful taste (but i dont swallow it of course!)
Thank you again
do you use this twice daily? also, have you noticed any wear to your teeth and gums as a result?
i went back on keto recently and i took some potassium supplement and developed toothache, i wondered why and looked into it without much luck, i thought about the youtube video about electrolytes with the lightbulb and realised the potassium had reactivated my nervous system and the pain was a mild gum infection but was being masked or turned of by sugar consumption, so not only is sugar causing so many illness's but it masks the symptoms also making it a minefield to diagnose.
This is what I’ve been using for the past few years, except I use cloves and peppermint. Make my teeth super clean. I love it!
Thank you so much Doctor!
I've stopped using toothpaste like a month ago ,instead I started brushing my teeth with something calls The "PEELU STICK" or "MISWAK" it's a natural Toothbrush that helps you clean your teeth without damaging the enamel or gums.

It’s also better than trying to read and understand a label on a product or box. And thank you for offering an alternative product to make and use for ourselves.
Honestly Dr Berg is telepathic in being able to anticipate need of information. Great Team you have!
Also, its weird that even if someone writes an entire synopsis in the comments I still like to hear Dr. Berg say it verbally.
I mixed this together today. I used peppermint because I didn’t have cloves or cinnamon. My teeth feel cleaner now. More clean than using the commercial stuff. I’m thinking of tripling this recipe so I don’t have to make so often. This is the best homemade toothpaste I’ve tried. The only problem is using an electric toothbrush, which gets a bit oily on the handle, but will live with it.

I'm going to make this and try it. So tired of commercial toothpastes which make me cough after brushing. Thank you so much !
My husband and I recently began noticing gum and mouth irritation and dental hygenist said I had some stains and more plaque than usual so suggested a $1600 deep cleaning. I declined for the time being because I suspected something else was going on. Just recently heard a naturopath who said 'check your toothpastes, they're full of irritants and additives. She mentioned the following as causing problems, sure enough the toothpaste we had used for years had been changed recently and all of this was in it plus parabens in the mouthwash my husband was using. Some of these formulas change without notice and often we don't read the small print, but we sure will be doing that now. Here are some that she said to check for and Dr. Berg also mentioned:
Sodium Laurel Sulfate: This is a foaming agent added only because people think if they see suds, that their teeth are being cleaned. As it turns out that quite a few people have outright allergies to this product and just as bad, can irritate your salvia ducts and it often stains the teeth; Glycerine: She said this was added because people want to run their tongue over their teeth and have that smooth feeling, but it is a waxy type substance that clings to the teeth, isn’t easily rinsed off or dissolved with saliva and bacteria can also cling to it; Artificial sweeteners: These are added for taste only and often they are ones found to not be safe. The toothpaste we were using had both saccharine and another artificial sweetener that we would never use but it was in our toothpaste we were using daily. Peroxide: this is a bleach and used as a whitener, but has been found to actually weaken enamel and is a gum irritant and can cause tooth sensitivity. Artificial colors: they tint some toothpaste green for example because the flavor is mint green and this is has no use to help dental health. Fluoride: A lot of people don't like it because it can be toxic but hard to find toothpastes these days without it.
I love your channel. It always seems like you're giving honest advice to actually HELP people rather than profit off them. we need more dr's like you in the world

@@Drberg can I use peppermint oil and coconut oil together
@@MrCoconutcat I used peppermint oil instead of clove/cinnamon oil. Seems to be just fine!
❤Facts!!! ❤
I only got cavities as a kid. As a teenager and now an adult I have no issues.
When I go to the dentist they always comment on how active my salivary glands are while checking my teeth. I’ve been told (almost every time) that is why I don’t have cavities because saliva prevents tooth decay.
I also love the recipe for toothpaste. I don’t use mouthwash and my breath is always fresh. I’ve used hydrogen peroxide as a “mouthwash” for decades, and once a week use coconut oil to swish around a bit for a couple minutes.
Sharing this last part could get me hurt. I don’t really use toothpaste that much, I just brush with water. My wife uses lots of toothpaste and brushes several times a day. She has “chronic” halitosis. Killing all her natural prevention. Maybe if I make this toothpaste I can get her to switch.
Same. I only got cavities as a kid too and i would use toothpaste all the time. I don’t know why but i started brushing without toothpaste. I think it was because i was a bit lazy and just wanted to take a few quick seconds to brush off any plaque on my teeth instead of using tooth paste and rinsing it out of my mouth. Anyways, i guess months would go by and everything would be fine. Then i would think to myself, i probably should be using toothpaste. After a few days of using toothpaste, i could feel my teeth start to hurt, it really felt like i was getting cavities. Ive went back and forth from using toothpaste and stopping. Even though my mouth felt clean when i used toothpaste i realized it was making my teeth hurt. Ive been to the dentist and I’ve never had any cavities since I’ve stopped using toothpaste.
So i pretty much just brush my teeth with water only now. Occasionally I’ll do oil pulling with coconut oil and floss when ever i eat anything sweet with sugar like candy, ice cream, etc. for a more thorough cleaning otherwise my gums/teeth will start to feel agitated. I never have this problem when i eat fruits though.
Isnt peroxide toxic if you have silver fillings? Ive been using Dr Bergs recipe for a few months and my teeth look so much better BUT im worried about the proxide and my silver fillings in my mouth.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg. I used to make my tooth paste with just baking soda, coconut oil, pinch of sea salt , clove oil. I will use your recipe as well as add castor oil. I started using castor oil for oil pulling which I really like. God bless you for all your health tips. I truly appreciate you.
Great content as always Dr Berg! My day is not complete without your daily dose of health wisdom - love learning from you!🙂

I have a question, I am curious as to why Dr. Berg only mentioned cinnamon and clove oils. What about spearmint, wintergreen, or peppermint? I understand cloves assist in teeth sensitivity. Just curious. I make lotions and antibiotics thanks to all the knowledge Dr. E. Berg shares! I am on the path to true healthy living! I am down 100 lbs thank you Dr. Eric Berg!

I use Earth Paste. It only has purified water, bentonite clay, sea salt, spearmint essential oil, menthol and tea tree oil. I started using due to allergies. Cleans my teeth very well.
Everyone in my family has had major dental problems for ages and no one would listen to me when I warned them about these toothpastes. Me being the youngest was always undermined. I for some reason knew that toothpaste is the only regular thing that goes in your mouth along with water so I started cleaning my teeth with just water and a soft toothbrush since I was 15. I'm 29 years old now and never had any dental problems. I'm going to make this homemade toothpaste this weekend.
I've been doing just baking soda+h2o2 for over 2 years now. Will never switch back to a commercial toothpaste. Will try this recipe as an addition. Thanks dr.Berg for the idea!
do you use this twice a day? also, have you noticed any wear to your teeth and gums?
Thanks. I'll try it. I stopped using fluoride toothpaste ages ago but then found out the fluoride free type had a different carcinogen added. Carboxymethylcellulose. Warms your heart doesn't it Benevolence personified.
Coconut oil, baking soda,essential peppermint oil. Essential tea tree oil.
I make a powder to brush with:
Equal parts baking soda(I use Bob’s Red Mill-it tastes better and is a good company) and finally ground Himalayan salt.
1/3 part raw cacao
1/4 part birch xylitol
Make sure you brush away from the gum line instead of across the teeth, your gums will say thank you!
Coconut oil can be tough because its consistency changes with the temperature. Sometimes your toothpaste is too hard, sometimes it’s too runny.
I read that during the extraction process of xylitol aluminium is used and there may be residus of aluminium in the xylitol powder. None of the manufacturers comments on this. I would like to know if that is true or not
I have been making my own toothpaste for years now and would never go back. Use to have sensitive teeth and used a toothpaste for sensitive teeth and honestly I think it was the toothpaste making them sensitive because when I switched to homemade toothpaste the sensitivity went away. My breath improved as well. My teeth actually feel clean after brushing, they didn't feel all that clean using a commercial toothpaste.
Tried this natural recipe for a week now - Amazing! Teeth clean and super fresh breath even after awaking from my slumber!
My wife approves and now she's on her way to ditching our expensive fluoride-free toothpaste.
Although, I've reduce the quantity of baking soda to 1/4 tsp due to the overwhelming salty taste. Just a shame you can't pre-mix all the ingredients...or can you?
Thank you Dr.Berg, keep dropping these gems of nature's finest.
I've been making my own toothpaste for years now. I just use part baking soda and part vco. Then I add some drops of tea tree oil and clove oil. I also add thieves essential oil and lastly activated charcoal. I feel really refreshed using it compared to regular toothpaste and I haven't had any extra problems.

As they supposedly felt that baking soda was too strong. I assume you do morning and night? And, how often do you make it; do you make a bigger batch and store it in a sealed container in a cabinet, or even fridge, for a month? sorry if these questions seem bothersome, but not so many people out there make their own toothpaste or share in detail about it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
@@Iog no problem. I only brush my teeth in the morning-personal preference all my life-I do a big batch and then put it in two mini silicone travel containers typically used for lotion. I use a recipe as follows: 4 tbsp each of baking soda and coconut, 1 tbsp of stevia sweetener, 20 drops of peppermint oil, 10 drops of real vanilla. I found I prefer peppermint over the clove/cinnamon. Mix all together and put in the containers. No fridge-I keep one in a drawer in the bathroom. Between both - one in use-one on hold- I usually only have to make up another batch about every three weeks or so. It took me about 2 weeks to get used to the abrasiveness of the baking soda and then I didn't notice anymore. I also use a soft toothbrush. My teeth and gums have never been better.
@@vickster4474 That is very interesting how you felt the abrasiveness. The internet rates baking soda a 7 on the abrasive scale, compared to toothpaste which is usually a 20 to 70 in RDA ranking.

Ultimately the best thing to do is avoid sugar, which yes, for me is doable, but I am still a young lad who wants stuff my face with cookies at times. The remineralization is naturally done without fluoride, although it would take half the time. Personally I don't mind fluoride, might even use it as I get older, but it really is all the other stuff they bundle in with the toothpaste that puts me off.
I have in the past used some baking soda
in a cup of water to rinse, very diluted; so often times it does not come off as abrasive, but it was effective for getting food out, etc. I
stopped using it because sometimes my eyes feel a bit irritated, and googling stuff about it leads to me believe that if I keep using it, my eyes could potentially acquire damage in the long run by any dust particles of it... so I guess I might have to be that dude who wears glasses or something handling
it as if I was back in chemistry class... or just man up a bit. The oil stuff is really new to me, that is why I asked. Very informative response, thank you.
So then, for me, I think what I will do, is perhaps try out a weekly batch amount to see if I like it, I will leave out the sweetener,
peppermint oil, and vanilla flavourings... unless you think that stuff is essential is some ways. But ultimately I think, it will just be the coconut oil and baking soda. I might also lower the baking soda amount, to a ratio closer to 2:1, or 3:1 (coconut oil : baking soda), as I would mostly likely brush every morning and night; if I were to brush one
time, it would probably be in the evening, as it would follow more closely to my after meal hours, and it wouldn't be immediately before lying down to sleep. Also, I think only-mornings do not make much sense personally, and for most people who eat 3 meals a day, as you would normally eat shortly after; meaning one's mouth is filled all day and night of those potentially lingering bacteria, only to get a short window of cleaning in the grand scheme of that 24 hr time frame. But that is just my thought process of it. If I feel any abrasiveness too strong for me, then I might reduce it to once a day as well for the evening, and gargling plain old water in the mornings I suppose. Or if the opposite, then I might consider doing a more even ratio, or in the future a mixture with a Dr Bronners herbal toothpaste, as out of all the toothpastes on the market, those seem the safest. Anyways, this was a long response, but hopefully I painted a clearer picture. It is something I will likely do for a very long time. I appreciate your input, and any following input you may have for me to look into. In either case, thanks.
Thank you for the toothpaste recipe. I started making my own mouthwash using Berkey water, baking soda & xylitol. This will go nicely with that.
Glad to help!

Just baking soda and peppermint oil for me, right after oil pulling.... haven't been to the dentist in 12 years
Thank you! I've been buying fluoride free toothpaste for a couple years but it's actually so expensive and I was thinking about making my own, so this comes at the perfect time. God bless you 🙏
Glad to help!

@DrEricBergDC I am afraid to use the wrong oil. I see that alot of them say "essential oil" but also "aromatherapy" or am I supposed to be looking for food grade? Or as long as it doesn't say aromatherapy?
Where is the baking soda for?
I asked my dentist and she said it destroys the enamel if used regularly
Could you maybe elaborate why you advice it?
I trust you more than our regular medical personnel btw, just curious about the why
That was my understanding too. Maybe it's a small amount in his recipe? My pharmacist suggested good ole A&H baking soda toothpaste. Must take a look at it and read ingredients. As a senior citizens, I find there is so much information out there, it's hard to keep up. I hope someone answers our question regarding baking soda.
Awesome recipe. I swish with organic liquid coconut oil fot 10 minutes, brush gently with a battery-powered soft bristle brush if needed, and follow the oil with essential oils of Pepoermint, Lemongrass, Clove, Eucalyptus, and Lavender.
Dr Berg thank you! You are the best doctor in the world. You really are the doctor we all need.
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you!
I have a daughter with potential Candida; doctors remain mystified? We continue to remove potentials, similar to diagnosing Fibromyalgia, without success.
Her condition is definitely mouth/gut/excretion connected, and since we tried most things, I'm making a paste tonight.
Again, thank you!
My mother has been brushing with baking soda for over 45 years and never had any cavities or dental issues.
I'm going to give this recipe a try. Currently I brush with a mixture of bentonite clay, baking soda, sea salt, and cloves. I add a little bit of non-flouride toothpaste such as NOW Xyli White which is flouride free, SLS free, and paraben free. It does have carrageenan (bummer!).
Thank you for the tip on toothpaste. I do use good toothpaste. I am with you on all the chemicals today. When I was young, and we did have to worry about all this crap, and now you have to deal every day and battle just to stay healthy. Not only the food, but it's also all in the furniture, especially in places like Wal mart and Target, and all the warnings of Prep 65 on the package. I recently purchased a card table and four chairs. They had the lead in them, and I was shocked and took them back. Chinese dry wall and the flooring as well.
Thanks for all the great info. I am going to use this recipe but alter it somewhat. Hydrogen peroxide will be left out because I have silver fillings and I have heard that mercury leches out when exposed to hydrogen peroxide.
Also, I see someone using peppermint oil instead of clove oil, and I like peppermint oil better.
Dr berg is my favourite person in entire world !!! Thank you so very much for such knowledge u are sharing ❤
Not to dissuade anybody form using the coconut oil as a base, cause I've used this same recipe and it works very well. However, you need to be careful when spitting out the toothpaste as the coconut oil can eventually (will?) plug your drain. I ended up having to take the trap apart and found it completely plugged. None of the standard drain cleaners did much to help but once apart, the block of hardened coconut oil pulled right out.
Thanks for that will bare that in mind.
I brush my teeth with baking soda then squirt some 3% hydrogen peroxide on my toothbrush, since I watched some of your videos. I literally had chunks of tartar falling off of my teeth. At first I was concerned, because I thought it was my tooth chipping! But it was the entire piece of tartar on one of my teefies! (:
I can't find peroxide here.. is baking soda enough? And how many days a week should I use?
I just tried this. (With tallow beef fat instead of coconut oil) also added some xylitol. Then I brushed my teeth immediately. It was a great cleanser and felt great, my teeth look and feel amazing, and it felt like I was salivating as I was brushing. Really interesting. Did mine with clove. Tasted great! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
Great. Glad you like this.

That's a really good home made toothpaste. The one I use is Nutriscript ozonated olive oil toothpaste which has ingredients as follows:
Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Activated Oxygen (Ozone) Xylitol, Sodium Bicarbonate, Mentha Spicata (Spearmint) Leaf Oil
Note the similarities!
ratios?
@@muratsenturk83 I'm sure the manufacturer would know, but just looking at the product list order, and the thickness / color of the ozonated oil you can tell it's mostly that (over 90%), and the other stuff is added to make it taste better and for additional dental benefit. All other ingredients will likely be a tiny percentage.
I have heard of many people that have only used sea salt or Celtic salt to brush their teeth their entire life's with no cavities or tooth, gum issues!
I started using a holistic brand oral health’s tooth brushing essential and carrier oil blend. It has almond, peppermint, spearmint, and tea tree oil. It’s incredibly potent so I mix that with coconut oil. A couple of drops are viscous but with the added carrier oil, it feels great so far. I love the way my teeth feel.
Thank you for putting this information out. It’s amazing how many toxins are put in our food and products we put on our skin. It’s all changing because people like you are willing to put the information out! Many thanks!
Most welcome!
Eric you are doing something great woth your channel. Magnificent, keep doing it, you are changing lives!
Dr. Eric*
I use all of these when making my natural toothpaste never thought about the hydro peroxide though thank you! Love 💖 your content Dr. Berg much love to you and your family. 🤝🙏❤️ Always,🌹
We stopped useing glycerine-based toothpaste, years ago, and began making a tooth powder consisting of: baking soda, bentonite clay powder, activated coconut shell charcoal, green black walnut hull powder, and sea salt. (Sometomes ground clove powder.)
btw~ propylene glycol is also a vä$$íne ingredient, for years.
Can this toothpaste be made in advance and stored? How long is the shelf life?
Yes
This man is a hero in disguise, he must feel so proud for the good he spreads, and rightly so.
I literally made my own toothpaste a couple of weeks ago, with the same ingredients. I didn’t add anything for flavor, though. My teeth look and feel amazing and I’ve quit having a weird taste in my mouth from toothpastes!
you use this twice daily?
@@farealwitit7947 I usually brush once a day and swish the second time. The baking soda and coconut oil combined is effective enough. Several times a week I do just coconut oil pulling, then swish with Himalayan salt water. (I buy Himalayan salt @ Dollar Tree. 😉)
@@leah__gail wow. nice. thanks!
I just use pink cooking salt instead of toothpaste, doc. It works.❤
When I was a child I knew something was wrong, I had cavities almost constantly despite frequent brushing. In my child-mind I boiled it down to abrasives in tootpaste giving bacteria a place to hide and nest. Stopped using toothpaste around 12, am now in 30s, I just brush twice daily, thoroughly. Been cavity free since. These days I also brush with some baking soda as well. Toothpaste is one of the harder ones to convince people that they don't actually need, when folk hear my story they look at me like I'm some kind of freak and expect my breath to smell bad.
What do you mean?
You dont use any paste at all of some kinds?
Only brushing with water & tootbrush?
There is a tree in middle east & africa that people still to this day use to brush their teeth, because it contains something that cleans the teeth and prevents cavities, i daresay it was fluoride but i could be wrong.
But this was what ppl used in the olden days to remove bad smell & clean mouth, it's called "miswak" the tree toothbrush
@@UniqueGeekFreak Just a toothbrush and water. My grandma used to use twigs from trees, she had healthy teeth too, that's interesting you mention that.
what do you use? no toothpaste?
I want to try this. A couple of possibly dumb questions: 1. Do we use fractionated coconut oil or regular coconut oil. 2. The cinnamon or cloves.......essential oils or regular oils? I have clove oil in my food pantry right now - not an essential oil.
I used the commercial stuff growing up. Root canals were the result. I knew it had to stop. Since stopped the bad stuff, I don't have to have cavities. Oil pulling is everything🙂. Sadly, those lost teeth are lost. Root canals don't last. When we know better, we do better. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
I just started oil pulling and its difficult lol do you think doing it twice a day for 5 minutes each is good? Also, which benefits have you experienced with oil pulling. Annnd I've just started it like a couple days ago and I'm getting headaches, is that normal?
@@rainnnnnn372 yes. It was definitely difficult to do it for 15 minutes the first time. I was like, no way. But just do it a little longer each time so 5 minutes is totally fine. You'll get used to it and you can do it a little longer. Make sure you rinse out your mouth with clean water afterwards. I actually use spring bottled water to avoid the chlorination it's not that wasteful because I don't need that much. The best benefit is that I just don't get cavities now.
@@rainnnnnn372 Oh and about the headache, I'm not a doctor or anything, but I heard that you could be detoxing because oil pulling not only cleans your teeth but it does pull toxins out of your mouth so it could make you feel bad for a while. I didn't have that experience, but I guess you could Google something like oil pulling headache.
@@chellybabyme ya I googled it after I commented and you're right !
@@chellybabyme loool I was like no way too! I do it at night though and I notice in the morning my mouth is pretty clean
My great grandma brushed her teeth with baking soda and rinsed with peroxide. She lived to 85, never had a cavity and died with all of her original teeth. I'm going to try this recipe. I've brushed with just baking soda, but my mouth didn't feel "minty"... so in my mind my mouth wasn't clean enough. I do rinse with peroxide once in a while though. Would pepper mint oil be beneficial?? I really like the minty feeling. Lol.
Hlw sir can you plz tell me whats the treatment of black lining inside teeth and whats the cause of it. I want a video in this topic pls sir!
The dentist recommended pastes like Colgate total also have other ingredients that I'm guessing r equally risky like titanium dioxide, titanium dioxide coated mica, sodium carboxylmethyl cellulose, zinc citrate trihydrate, tetradodium, poloxamer 407 n Cl 74260 n 47005 whatever that means!! If thers any suggestions on any paste please tell 🙏
Also if u can do a video on pastes that r good in yr opinion.. watching many videos n have some names. Even ordered eg Eco dent which is a baking soda powder with other ingredients.. hoping its good. My dentist only suggests Colgate total!
This is _awesome!_ Thank you for this. This I can do! Honestly, this explains so much. To completely _beat SIBO_ this is the final step, and I fully appreciate this!
I have been brushing with baking soda mixed in water. My research showed not to use it for too long or it could wear away the enamel. Is this true? Should I mix it where it is a paste or make it runny? Thank you for your guidance.
Wow! I never heard of this information before! Thank you for the recipe!
I gave up on peroxide as it will react with baking soda right away and give a lot of bubbles, then the active ingredient of peroxide is all gone. I added some xylitol instead. Thanks Dr Berg.
Thanks doc for having such good medical advice. Love your videos
I have bulging veins on my hands and forearms it started showing up in my early 40's and just kept getting worse with age. I am 59 is there anything that can be done to fix this? What causes this problem?
Hope these videos help!
