What does the latest science say about oral hygiene and risk of diseases including dementia and diabetes?
Jonathan talks with Dr. Alp Kantarci to try and find out.
Alp is a professor, scientist, dentist, oral health researcher, periodontist, dental implant surgeon, and senior member of staff at the Forsyth Institute, an independent research institute that focuses on the connections between oral health and overall wellness. He is also a faculty member at Harvard University School of Dental Medicine. He has published more than 190 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and has presented more than 170 talks and posters at dental and medical congresses.

I applaud everyone’s efforts to encourage oral health in the public, and I appreciate the excitement that some of this research generates but I would very much encourage you to make more of an effort to distinguish between correlation and causation in these papers.
Oral infections can cause heart damage even full on heart attacks ##
About the correlation between diabetes and gum disease, I think the common factor linking them could be the high intake of sugar and carbs.
Is it the dental disease causing diabetes or is the dental disease a consequence of the eating habits that creates the diabetes? High glucose levels would seem to also be contributing to dental diseases. You can have healthy teeth though and still get T2D.
What can people with already bad teeth and oral health do to mitigate or reduce the risk? Also can nutrition or which suppliments help?
Please [rely upon] a better source [than just me], but from what I know based upon the work by sources like Zoe and NutritionFacts: More raw fruits and vegetables, esp. cruciferous vegetables like kale or broccoli, B-12 gum (xylitol sweetened) or lozenges, water flossers/water-pik use.
@@pluribus_unum except for the gum, I agree. Xylitol can also have a negative effect on the gut according to Dr Veronique Desaulnier
Look up Dr Ellie Philips!
Low carb diet.
Vitamins D3 and K2 for keeping plaque off teeth.
Is it possible that the increasing rates of oral cancer are partly due to dental trays?
I don't believe that oral disease worsens chance of dementia. I would like to know the references. Are there papers in reputable journals??
Which reputable journals led to your belief?
I just brushed
"Doubles your chances' So an increase from one in a thousand to two in a thousand?
👀
Make em ill make em well. That was a selling technique I remember. However this sounds v important.
I do wonder if this is a false liaison. Let’s face it, most of the developing world has terrible teeth. Is it true that the developing world has much higher rates of dementia. Maybe not ?
Start the healing process with GROUNDING!!!!
DONT BE IGNORANT OF THE INCREDIBLE HEALTH BENEFITS OF IT LIKE THESE GUYS ARE!
Just look after your body…in total.
DO NOT seek dietary advice from TH-cam or TikTok.
If you’ve fallen for the stupid Carnivore Diet Fad
…you deserve everything that is in store for you,
and it wont be pretty.
You hear this so many times, that a person should be treated as a whole, and not as a series of separate diseases/illnesses. Interesting talk. Paul
If only everyone in UK could access a dentist, even NHS treatment is expensive and NHS dentists are as rare as hens teeth but private treatment is beyond MANY people.
Same in the US.
I’m hearing this a lot more recently. I wish the government, which ever party it ends up being realises that good dental treatment is a preventative necessity. As it is so difficult for those who can’t afford private dental treatment to find a NHS dentist there are a vast amount of people, including children suffering poor dental health and if this is to be believed future heart and brain problems.
It’s a duopoly. Voting hasn’t changed the city’s grip on economic policy since the 1970’s. Healthcare and dentistry has been known to be essential, a human right (remember those?) for a century +, but precarious employment and accommodation keeps the people in line. No accountability for the likes of BJ, & the Eton elite. People can burn alive by the dozen and still nobody even gets arrested. Remember Grenfell? BJ ‘restructured’ the fire service leaving it unable to manage either fire risks or tall buildings. Dentistry’s the least of the country’s problems, serious as it is.
After 25 years in Dentistry think the point is diet . We learned about the impact when sugar was first introduced in England . The combination of lack of oral hygiene and sugar led to rotten teeth being the biggest killers . So much so if you was fortunate for your 21st Birthday you could have all your teeth removed this would prolong your life. Septicaemia from rotton teeth was an epidemic. High sugary diets can also lead to dementia due to causing inflammation. Sugary drinks are the worst culprits .
Sadly no mention of what mouthwash does to your gut microbiome and also no mention of using a tongue cleaner to clean your mouth of bacteria and also no mention of going to dental hygienist for regular cleaning
Yeah,I've heard mouthwash kills the oral microbiome and thus interferes with nitric oxide, causing blood vessel restriction and thus high blood pressure among other things.
I'd love zoe to look into this.
Mouthwash isn’t needed unless recommended by a dentist. Just clean and floss as normal and use a tongue scraper.
What does mouthwash do to your microbiome please?
When I was 34 I had very bad periodontal disease. Many operations later I started protecting my gums. Now at 77 my gums are good for my age.
I chew mystic gum cloves, as well as brushing, flossing, water flossing and young scraping
Presenter is still super annoying in his interview style.
Use the appropriate method to convey the information you want. You’ve jumped on the trend of long form conversations/interviews without thinking whether it’s appropriate for you. You then hijack the conversation to force it the way you imagine your audience wants it to go. Please stop doing that. Get a professional to interview these amazing guests. I’d love to just hear them talk about their work unimpeded.
Feel free to clip these interviews later and add your own thoughts and narrations and interpretations afterwards separately.
Podcast about hay fever remedies please!!!
Zoe. Great video length. At last you're editing your 1hr plus videos to a watchable length. Thank you. Keep it up!

9:30 - What can you do to improve oral hygiene?
Of the people I know with dementia, they have/had excellent overall health for their age and that includes dental health. Both were extremely active, took care of themselves and ended up with dementia. One swam in the Atlantic every morning and the other walked miles daily, even in the snow. Correlation does not imply causation. Seeing as oral healthcare has increased over the centuries and dementia has seemingly increased, this theory is just that, a theory.
I suppose it depends on what kind of dementia they have. Dementia is a symptom. My mother had vascular dementia. There is also frontal lobe dementia. Some forms of dementia are hereditary. I watched an interesting TH-cam about the links between Parkinson’s and the increase of pesticides and herbicides and other toxins that we are ingesting.
We live longer, so dementia becomes almost inevitable for many of us. Pretty sure those lucky enough to live past 70 had a chance of it in pre-modern times. Also, I'm pretty sure there's evidence of communities in pre-modern societies with what we would consider good teeth
You gave two cases as a counter example of why gum disease isn’t linked to dementia, diabetes, and heart attack/stroke/etc.
Good oral health does not stop all dementia. This is why your two counter examples don’t show ‘the theory is not good’.
Dementia is more likely seen along with poor oral health. Why do we know that? Because the bacteria that cause gum disease get into your body and cause harm in many places.
xoxoxox
would using xylitol like 5g after each meal for mouthwash daily reduce dementia because they would reduce mouth bacteria by 95%?
Hahahahahaha... going to your dentist 😅 hilarious. We haven't been able to get an nhs dentist in my area for at least 9 years now. The nearest is an hour drive away and there's no public transport. We need dentists.
FLOSHING is the single most important oral hygiene activity you can do. BRUSHING is second.
I never forget to FLOSH
@@jeanhorseman9364 LOL FLOSHING is flossing with FURY and ZEAL! LOLOL
What’s FLOSHING? Never heard of it.
Don't use toothpaste look at the colours at the end, the have tons of chemicals that are not good or you. Use coconut oil.
Third world countries hardly have diabetes, alzheimer, and other first world food related health problems, and they have terrible dental health, so to me this sounds like generating fear in favor of dentists. You end up going to them and go out full of x-rays, fluor, heavy metals, and sometimes bacteria that you didn´t have initially. They´ll recommend mouth washers that kill all friendly bacteria that generates nitric oxide.
Are you a dental professional?
If not, why should i listen to you?
@@gsismaet5385 don't listen to me, I don't give a...
But everything I said is very easy to verify.
@@gsismaet5385 some times bad dental procedures are the ones that generate infections that can lead to dangerous health problems. Dental implants are risky because they hide underlying infections for prolonged periods of time, and that is caused by dentists. Do your research, it won't hurt.
Can you provide evidence that they have terrible dental health? I am sure they have access to less dental professionals but I am not able to find evidence that their overall dental health is much worse in terms of requiring fillings and extractions.
@@werewolfcountry omg that was the last thing I expected to have to show evidence of... I live in one! Go to India, Africa, South America... in general they don´t eat as much junk food, but dental services are terribly expensive. Even fixing a cavity is prohibitive for most. You don´t need studies or statistics for knowing that.
That’s me done for. I haven’t had a dentist since 2019.
I haven’t seen a dentist since 1988
In the full interview he recommends mouth washes. But interestingly this video cuts off just before this section.
Yes and in a different Zoe , they said no mouth wash.
@@carolinesykes3636 which one is that please?
@@carolinesykes3636.
Mouth wash is bad for the microbiome
You know, I was just thinking...
Fascinating interview thanks. Re Dr Kantarci’s comment (11:00)….People who have tried a ketogenic or a “carnivore”-type diet; ie : low in carbohydrates and high in nutritious UNPROCESSED animal and / or plant protein, have seen remarkable improvements in their oral hygiene.
No controlled studies support this claim and a carnivore diet is actually unsafe for some people. You should follow a well-rounded diet. As most centenarians attest, moderation is key to a long, healthy and happy life (along with long life span genes).
@@johnjobling3692 I’m sure you’re absolutely right regarding “controlled studies”, but not everything should necessarily be dependent on them…given the time and resources involved. Maybe you should simply try limiting carbs (be it with meat or plant protein as a staple) and see what happens? I tried it and my lifetime of bleeding gums disappeared completely, without the aid of any extra cleansing. I realise I’m just one person, but we shouldn’t necessarily fob-off “hearsay” and many similar (unbiased) personal experiences.
That quote isn't there, this is a lie
@@eleuron Oh I see. If you say so.
