🧵 Oral microbiome thread: no teeth brushing edition
Anonymous at Sun, 9 Jun 2024 04:22:30 UTC No. 16223721
Haven't brushed my teeth in 1 year and 4 months. I used to maintain a normal mouth hygiene routine before using toothbrush, tongue scraper and gentle toothpastes, usually non fluoridated. My teeth were fine. But I would get a sore throat and stuffy nose about once a month for a few days. Due to me suffering a complete meltdown of structure in my days and general disinterest in wordly affairs I stopped brushing my teeth. Ever since that day I haven't had 1 moment of sore throat or stuffy nose. I am assuming the bacteria that I'm growing in my mouth prevent other illness causing bacteria to inflame my throat and nose. My back teeth are starting to form cavities unfortunately so I want to resume brushing soon. Surprisingly my teeth formed no plaque. I only rinsed my mouth with normal water after meals and in the morning after waking up. Also my breath smelled fine. No bad odors as described by several people that I've told this. I've noticed for some people that I can feel a terrible smelling breath from them few hours after I know they've brushed their teeth. So there's something terribly wrong with toothpastes, it's not just me. How do I maintain the benefit of rotmaxxing my teeth while also not letting them rot? Also it's ridiculous I have to wait 300 seconds for the captcha to appear. 4chud wtf???

I think the most important part of your routine, as well as mine, is swishing the mouth with water.
In the shower I always fill my mouth and swish violently for maybe 5 seconds. I'll do two or three of these.
The water gets between all the teeth and rinses off anything that might cause acidity issues / sugar accumulation.
I brush my teeth with Colgate as well, but I do not floss.
I have perfect teeth. My dentist always complements. I go to the dentist every 6 months.
I think you should keep doing the water swishing but you may want to add something else before those cavities get worse.

this is just a retarded idea
I wish my mouth with 40:1 diluted Chlorox bleach, combined with 1% hydrogen peroxide. I say fuck the mouth flora... straight in the mouth with oxygen singlets lmao.

Water swishing definitely plays a big role. All toothpaste brands roughly follow the same formula with some unique products here and there. But I notice they just cause bad breath few hours after brushing. Do you have someone you can test this with? It's like you have to use it at least twice a day to ward off bad breath

Cavities are from poor diet.
Brushing has no benefit.
Read Weston A Price.
Everything else you said is basic the gyst.
Brush before a social event only with charcoal just to be pleasant and whiten up. But generally you won't have bad breath either after you stop for awhile.
It's like shampoo and hair oils.
Just stop for awhile and then the body stops churning out insane amounts of oil it was using to compensate for you removing it daily.

I have. My diet is very good. Cavities ate because of specific bacterial strains. Changing your diet after those troublesome strains have populated your mouth can take a very long time to have an impact on your biome.

That also results in bad breath ~12 hours after you use it

Lacking in something mate.
Could be true, but my wife is a neurologist and everyone says they eat well.
Describe diet TODAY. What have you eaten TODAY.
FULL LIST.

1kg of yoghurt
~250g of beef liver from my familys farm.
2 Cucumbers, 1 tomato
1 Carrot
1 Large baked potato with about 20g of butter and homemade cheese
A cup of olives
2 cups hibiscus tea
4-5 spoons of honey from family farm
2-3 dates
7 boiled eggs
I think this includes everything but its possible I might have missed something small. Yes its a lot of food but I am a large man (big skeleton and lean, not fat)

Also no offense to your wife but neurologists are some of the smuggest most useless doctors I've been to. Wasted a year of my life listening to their clueless ramblings when I got a concussion. In 2 days of research on how to help myself get over the symptoms I learned more than any one of those assholes could tell me even after I insist on needing help and that just because I dont have lesions on my brain on the MRI doesn't mean I can't feel bad.

just like brush without toothpaste. xylithol seems to specifically kill the cavity bacteria, so I would try that + brushing without toothpaste...
it could be that the brushing itself is what fucks up your sinus by dislodging the bacteria from the mouth

elaborate. unless you are carnivore, it seems impossible to avoid decay promoting foods

What's the issue if you wash your mouth with water afterwards?

Interesting idea. I will also try the xylithol

That's true what you said.
But my wife is very kind and spends over an hour talking to patients.
Good answer. I was just eliciting a response
