Introduction

This video discusses the best remedy for removing dental plaque (tartar) and preventing cavities. Dr. Berg explains the causes of tartar, detailing the role of bacteria and dietary factors. He then presents a remedy involving hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, clove oil, and microcrystalline hydroxyapatite powder, along with dietary recommendations like grass-fed butter.

Key Takeaways

• Tartar formation: Dental plaque (biofilm) is a protective shield created by bacteria, primarily Streptococcus mutans, using calcium from sugar and starch consumption. This biofilm traps acid against teeth, causing enamel breakdown and cavities. The same bacteria have been found in arteries and heart valves.
• Plaque removal remedy: A mixture of 3% food-grade hydrogen peroxide (½ tsp), baking soda (½ tsp), clove oil (3 drops), and microcrystalline hydroxyapatite powder (½ tsp) mixed with water is recommended for brushing teeth once daily. Baking soda alkalizes the mouth, while clove oil disrupts biofilm and reduces pain. Hydroxyapatite remineralizes tooth enamel.
• Prevention strategies: Reducing sugar and starch intake is crucial. Chewing gum with beneficial oral bacteria helps repopulate the mouth with good bacteria, preventing biofilm formation and bad breath. Grass-fed butter, rich in Vitamin K2 and A, strengthens enamel and improves bone structure.
