What's scary is that we are having to explain to a grown man why this is nasty.


That means he sees nothing wrong with it. Makes you wonder what else he doesn't realize is nasty. Are we gonna see this guy on Hoarders or something with a stash of toenail clippings from 1993?

you ain't right bro

you gotta clean that crap out

if you keep screwin around, you'll be in deep doodoo b4 long

I had bacteria so bad in my mouth, it actually sapped my energy!!! it wasn't funny.

but I had brushed but never scraped nor oil pulled...dentist told me about gingivitis

but it took an amazon customer comment to wake me up to oil pulling...it got me my energy back

but I have special circumstances, poisoned by broad spectrum antibiotics, killed off the healthy gut bacteria, just like farmers do to fatten up cows and it affect oral health too

now not finding out until years later, it is systemic and a curse

yeast/fungal gut bacteria is related to mouth health and seriously difficult to get rid of in the systemic stage...no simple dose of diflucan will touch it

so cursory brushing is at best minimal, hope you change your ways, for your own good...

I agree. I almost asked how often he bathed. I wonder if he has regular dental checkups.

Mouth health is so much more than no cavities. Poor mouth care can lead to any number of health issues.

What's oil pulling


that is taking a small amount of any vegetable oil in the mouth, and sucking it between the teeth pushing and pulling, back and forth as vigorously as you can for a minute or 2, spit into garbage and repeat. that's the mechanics of it.

what happens is, the oily bodies of the bacteria in ones mouth, gets stuck to the oil and later expelled from the body.

you may think such a thing most ridiculous, but I assure you, it is no joke

I sufferred from lack of energy for years and looked for ways to beat this curse, which many years later I found out, started for me, from a course of broad spectrum antibiotics, that killed off the friendly bacteria in my gut, I put on weight and attributed it to the wrong reasons

I suffered for years not knowing the truth, and by the time I found out, the yeasts/.fungus was systemic in nature

but one day, I was reading an amazon review which had mentioned oil pulling to solve some issues, so I gave it a shot

normal people likely do not suffer ,and don't have bleeding gums and energy issues and will not benefit from oil pulling at all, at least nothing noticeable like energy returning.

but to my surprise and amazement, I did a round of oil pulling prior to bed, and when I got up, voila
my energy was back!!!!

at first I wrongly attributed it to somehow getting into the blood stream, but shortly after getting a book on oil pulling, I realized what really happened

I can tell you that blacks are more predisposed to having white teeth.

Gold teeth are not genetic, man.

In my early 40s and have had 1 cavity. Brush regularly, floss occasionally, rarely go to the dentist. Last time i was at the dentist I commented on being lucky to only have 1 cavity. She said it was due to the amount of calcium in my saliva that coats my teeth. However, I am prone to calcium buildups on the inside of my teeth near the saliva ducts that I have to scrape off every so often. A minor inconvenience to not have cavities.

I don't think you really know how many cavities you have if you rarely (I take that as never) go to the dentist.

It's about 90% genetic, mostly due to the composition of your saliva and enamel thickness

It is very much genetic, mixed with proper hygiene, nutrition, etc.

I think the PH of your saliva goes a long way in overall tooth health. I have slightly acidic saliva and my dentist tells me that it helps keep at bay the usual build-up of plaque and tartar that occurs even with consistent hygiene.

I have had a few cavities, but those were attributed to my wonky wisdom teeth crowding my back teeth and preventing proper care.

My mother has always taken good care of her teeth and still has suffered numerous dental issues in her 66 years. She's had several teeth removed and had bridges and partials fitted over the years.

Don't know if it's genetic...but I didn't get my mom's teeth.

Color contrast my man...ever noticed when you have a summer tan that your teeth look a little whiter? Hint: They're really not.

It's genetic in my experience.

My brother has shite teeth like my mom. Gets lots cavities, had to have a ton of braces/orthopedic work, even though he brushes at least once a day.

On the other hand, I have teeth exactly like my dad. I've had one cavity, no braces or orthopedic work, and as a kid, I only brushed once a day in the mornings. Once I got to college and realized it was the norm to brush before bed, I started doing that
