Transcript: so I want to talk about how you can whiten your teeth naturally at home without damaging your gums or your teeth which unfortunately was what often happens to people who use one of these many many whitening products that I'm sure you've seen on the shelves of every grocery store and most people think because there are so many they have to be safe my mother who was in her 80s she met a young man of 70 and she of course was put this engineer Gentleman on my complete mouth care system and for 10 years he used my complete mouth care system very efficiently as all Engineers probably do doing everything right and then he went back to his dentist he had missed Dental appointments for almost 10 years and when he went to the dentist the dentist was fascinated and said George what happened what have you been using to whiten your teeth they look amazing the dentist knew there had been a change because the last thing he had done 10 years previously was create a crown at the back of George's mouth that was matched to the then yellow color of his teeth I am completely against any idea of whitening your teeth with these artificial whitening products no matter how much marketing they have behind them telling you they're safe I know I have other Dental peers who agree with me I know there are lots of people out there who have been to the dentist begged for whitening and the dentists have said no I won't do it why do you think this is this is because artificially whitening your teeth is insane if you know anything about the biochemistry of teeth the first way that teeth are whitened and this was the original whitening products back in the day they were toothpaste they began with toothpastes and these toothpaste were so abrasive now if if you're a smoker and and you have a lot of plaque on your teeth that has Stained maybe abrasive some kind of abrasive way to clean that stain off your teeth is necessary but if you have perfectly fine teeth with no real plaque deposits crusted on your teeth then you don't want to be a braiding them you will thin your enamel I can't tell you how many young women in particular come to me with Agony On around their teeth because they have worn their enamel Away by using these artificial whitening products some of which have a braided their teeth some of which are so acidic and these include the White Strips if you measure the pH of a white strip you will find that it's close to battery acid this acidity is necessary in the whitening worlds because the first way that you open up a tooth to be have its color change changed is by actually getting rid of the barrier the enamel barrier which is composed of minerals inside a skeleton kind of looks like a honeycomb and this enamel skeleton packed with minerals resists acidic damage and it can do that up to a point when you put a crust White Strip on your teeth or use these other whitening trays you are melting all the protection of the outside of your teeth there's a protein barrier as well which just disappears and then the acids percolate into the outside of the enamel now the interesting thing is that the first stage of demineralization the removal of minerals from teeth makes teeth whiter that's where these very clever people came up with the idea of artificially whitened teeth you may have had braces on your teeth and when they took them off you had little scars white scars Flex across your teeth that was where plaque had formed acids and had demineralized or weakened certain spots on your teeth where those braces the the little brackets of your braces had been and that demineralized area looked whiter and initially that demineralized area can be repaired and remineralized that's what I talk about when we talk about how to reverse a cavity reversing and Remer alizing these parities and the argument given by dentists about whitening is oh you can reverse that damage maybe you can reverse some of it the problem is that most artificial whitening products go beyond just demineralizing the outside of your teeth and who really wants to do that these ingredients in the whitening products actually travel through those open holes and the next thing they attack are the proteins on the deeper side of your tooth on the Denton side Denton is slightly too sort of skin color a little bit Browner than the tooth and that's the natural color of Denon when peroxide travels through the enamel channels that have been opened by the acidity it will change and denature the proteins in Dentin and that will change its color that's how you change the internal color of a tooth artificially is that a problem well there are very few studies if any in America to show that's a problem I don't know why it's interesting but there are studies in other countries that say that may soften a tooth so that if you ever have a cavity your tooth will have far less defense against the infection that's going to dive into your tooth so you're weakening the structure of your teeth and you may not know this for 10 to 15 years from now so that's a problem and that's one of the reasons I would never recommend that you whiten your teeth with a peroxide product and then the third thing the more clever thing now than ever is that they are manufacturing products that not only get through the outer enamel but when they're doing that they change the structure of the enamel we talked about enamel being like a skeleton structure with mineral packed inside it and between these little crystals there is a layer of a watery mineral layer and this is why enamel is so interesting and this is what makes what we're going to talk about in a minute what makes a tooth actually glitter and look white it is the Reflection from these little layers between the crystals the little watery layer that bounces light off your tooth what artificial whitening products are now doing this is how you get that Bluer whiter than ever color is that it is changing what's that liquid structure between the crystals it's either drying it out those would be the cheaper ones and that's horrible for your enamel because it makes it very fragile and brittle or it puts another liquid in there so that it will bounce the Rays any sort of light rays off your tooth in a different way and make your teeth appear whiter so that's how artificial whitening products work and I hope you'll agree with me that it doesn't sound really good if you could make your teeth whiter by yourself before we go down that road I want to explain what makes teeth white now enamel is actually clear glass it's not white that was a brilliant marketing move back in the80s teeth actually look white even though they're made up of clear glass crystals and the Dentin on the inside of your tooth is the more live type color that's inside and the question of whether your teeth look darker or brighter is all depends on the strength the mineralization of the outside casing of your tooth you can't really change the color of your Denton that's inside your tooth it's just the way it is but what we can do is make this glass more reflective brighter shine and reflect and refract the Rays of light as they contact our tooth and go back to the people who are looking at it now there are tricks that are played often in dental offices that are quite aggressive about selling whitening products because under Neon Lights under those artificial lighting boxes teeth almost always look yellow and you can look at your teeth in the bathroom mirror if you've got the wrong kind of lighting and hate the way they look but if you take a mirror and go outside and let natural sunlight bounce on your teeth you will see what color they really are and that is how nature intended and that is the way that nature has made our teeth Sparkle when they're healthy because healthy teeth are stronger teeth next question I know now you will ask is how do I strengthen my teeth and basically teeth strengthen and demineralize in a very flowy way all day long it's a dynamic process your teeth are neither strong nor weak they weaken and then they strengthen that's the way nature works and when we eat and drink we weaken our teeth we de demineralize them to some degree when we allow good healthy saliva to put minerals back into our teeth they will strengthen so the answer really is let's give our saliva time to interact with our teeth so that minerals from our saliva our spit in our mouth can go back and repair any that were lost when we ate that meal the problem today is everybody's sipping nobody ever stops cups of coffee go on for hours people sip sparkling water which is actually acidic or sodas or energy drinks or sports drinks you name it and then people nibble and whether it's a protein bar a date some raisins it doesn't matter the sugar is feeding acid producing bacteria the drinks themselves can be acidic if you don't stop completely eating and drinking you will never stop this demineralization process it will continue and continue and continue all day long so it's really important to eat and drink at meal times if you want to stimulate a flow of even more mineralized even more healing saliva Xylitol the product that I formulated zelis are designed specifically so that when you eat a few mints it will stimulate a flow of Highly mineralized saliva that will go into the outside of your teeth and strengthen the enamel and the more you do this the more you strengthen your enamel and reduce the period of time when they're de mineralized the stronger your teeth the smoother the surface and the more light will bounce off the surface of your tooth and your teeth will appear brighter and whiter for some people this can occur in a matter of a week it doesn't matter what age you are that's the fun thing we are talking now of course about adult teeth I need to make sure you realize that I mean the process of strengthening teeth works for children but you won't get the same change in color because baby teeth don't have the same structure but adult teeth even young adult teeth like a seven-year-old or an eight-year-old that may be erupting their new front teeth and they look kind of yellowish use these strategies end the meal with a little bit of xylol and then stop eating and drinking try and go an hour if possible more no sips of water every time you wash your mouth with water you are loting you are thinning this healing liquid your saliva and I know everybody wants to drink lots and lots of water I am with you but do that in a session if you don't want to drink it at a meal time because some people believe that's bad find another occasion and drink more at that occasion and then stop the damage is the continuous sipping I did a a zoom call with somebody once I think I counted 30 sips within a half hour Zoom call that's ridiculous for your teeth you are literally washing the minerals away so be aware you can drink I'm not saying don't drink I've been misquoted drink all you want but try to limit the sessions of eating and drinking that you have I'm not here to limit your diet or what you eat or drink I'm here to say give your teeth time with undiluted saliva and by stimulating the saliva with zelis or xylol you create Sal stimulated saliva saliva that's pulled into the mouth is always at a slightly higher pH it has a different pH and you can measure this yourself you can buy some pH testing strips and do it do a little experiment test your pH in the morning when you get out of bed see what it is often a measurement for women around 6 5.5 6 6.5 very disappointing often men are usually have more alkaline saliva it's just the way it is ladies it happens and when you're pregnant you will have acidic saliva for nine months that's just the way it is again hormonal influences stress it there are a whole bunch of factors beyond diet and sickness drugs Everything Changes the pH of your mouth and then try having a zelli mint and like 2 minutes later test the pH of your mouth and you'll see it has raised usually at least two units for anyone who has acidic saliva for somebody who already has alkaline saliva it may not change that much it's just the way it is you lucky people with very mineralizing saliva naturally but for somebody who's pregnant they're going to need that additional help and then the final way that you can speed the whitening of your teeth or the strengthening of your teeth is to actually be aware of nurturing the good bacteria in your mouth and that happens by eating Xylitol and that's one of the reasons I think last thing at night a little xotl a little zel mint as you go to sleep at night can be really helpful to create a coating of healthy bacteria that smooth out the surface of your teeth they make food stick less but they also make your teeth look shinier look brighter feel you can almost feel it when you start EA xyl your teeth feel smooth and shiny and then the final thing then that you can do is use the products the mouth rinses that I recommend in my complete mouth care system because they will speed all of these processes they will speed the natural building of healthy biofilm by uh simply modulating or pushing the bofilm in a direction of Health they don't damage the bacteria in your mouth all the the the misinformation about mouthwashes ignore it and use yourself as an experiment when you get your mouth healthy your nitric oxide levels will go up your teeth will be brighter your mouth will be healthier and that's the way nature really wanted it when you smile with a shiny white smile people on the other side know you're a healthy person to interact with and that is really why I believe we are drawn to wanting health healthy white shiny teeth I embrace that now one last thing if you are having a photo session if you are having a wedding you really want those Uber white teeth they cannot be quickly achieved whitening takes time I would say you need to give yourself between 6 months and two years to really see what color your teeth can become it children's teeth will usually whiten quicker if you're a seven-year-old with a newly erupt tooth by the time you're ate that tooth will probably look spectacular for the rest of us give time but if you haven't got time what do you do I would recommend you go to a trustworthy dentist do what you can strengthen your teeth as much as you can realize that you are going to cause some damage and do it one time do it for that occasion so that you feel you have that experience it won't ruin everything the real damage is done by people who continuously every few months are whitening their teeth or or worse than that and younger children be really really Vigilant parents because when teeth are younger the inside of that tooth is nearer the surface and there were studies done where they whiten children's teeth teenagers and then they took out teeth for Orthodontics for straightening the teeth that was planned orth ontic extractions they did the Tooth at the time of the whitening they did the next tooth uh a month later and then they did two months later and 3 months later and they looked at these teeth under Section and there were changes in the cells on the inside of these teeth after a substantial amount of time after the whitening so we don't know nobody's looking at the real damage I don't know if that study was accurate I just know I read about that study and I believe it's possible most people can feel sensitivity and pain those are signals that is not good so I'm hoping studies will be done to look at the effects on stem cells that are inside our teeth see we now have discovered that our teeth are reservoirs for stem cells in our body do you want to potentially d damage those stem cells and make them travel around your body in some way that maybe is unhealthy I'm not sure about any of those things but I think it should be studied because so many people are ignorant about the Damage Done by whitening teeth and they're trusting people who have not looked deeper than the superficial and then finally I want to tell you a story a very encouraging story for anyone who's older who thinks that teeth are just that color because they drink tea or coffee or whatever my mother who was in her 80s and my father had passed away a long time before she met a young man of 70 and she of course put this engineer Gentleman on my complete mouth care system and for 10 years he used my complete mouth care system very efficiently as all Engineers probably do doing everything right and then he went back to his dentist he had missed Dental appointments for almost 10 years because he had moved to live by my mother and when he went to the dentist the dentist was fascinated and said George what happened what have you been using to whiten your teeth they look amazing he had not whitened his teeth the dentist knew there had been a change because the last thing he had done 10 years previously was create a crown at the back of George's mouth that was matched to to the then yellow color of his teeth he was 70 and between 70 and 80 years old he had miraculously transformed his teeth not only to be healthier stronger but whiter so anyone can change the color of their teeth it doesn't matter what age you are this is a dynamic process and you can begin today
