“the first initial stage of dental decay is the one that breaks through the memo they're very incipient the case they haven't got to the second layer of the tooth and the those are the ones some of them even like if they we call white spot lesion you start the decalcification they can be reversed if you have a child you can have a very intense fluoride varnish application there you would reverse”
Main Takeaways:
- Early dental decay can be reversed with interventions like fluoride varnish.
- White spot lesions indicate initial decalcification but haven't reached the deeper layers of the tooth.

“you have to look for and not all of them have the correct amount, you want like a thousand ppm to 1500 ppm”
Main Takeaways:
- Not all toothpastes contain the optimal amount of fluoride for decay prevention.

“excessive fluoride darkens teeth just this specific time it's um it's mixed with a metal that the moment it gets in contact with this soft denture it hardens and becomes that very hard layer”
Main Takeaways:
- Excessive fluoride, when mixed with certain metals, can cause temporary darkening of children's teeth.
- This mixture hardens upon contact with teeth, forming a protective layer.

“you should never rinse your mouth out with water after you brush your teeth so brush brush brush spit into the Basin and that's it”
Main Takeaways:

“why are we using fluoride rinses in dental offices why is there fluoride in our toothpaste why is there fluoride in the municipal water of 72% of municipalities in the US when fluoride is a known antiseptic it's a chemical toxicant it's a a thyroid toxic it kills your thyroid and it's a neurological toxin.”
Main Takeaways:
- Fluoride is widely used in dental products and water supplies.
- Fluoride has antiseptic properties but is also considered a toxicant affecting the thyroid and neurological systems.
- The widespread use of fluoride is questioned due to its potential health risks.
Notes: Critical discussion on the use of fluoride in dental care and water treatment.

“we have to get rid of fluoride you know just this past weekend I was speaking at a dental conference in Salt Lake City and there were there people there from the National Toxicology Program which in the US is the organization tasked with if there's any kind of risk of exposure of environmental toxicant they're charged with doing the toxicology studies to see if there's an increased risk what is the risk and is there a safe level that is without risk and what they report is that fluoride there's no benefit of fluoride and it's all risk it lowers IQ in kids by as much as seven points and it shuts down your thyroid function and it's a neurotoxin”
Main Takeaways:
- Fluoride is considered a risk with no benefits, linked to lower IQ in children and thyroid dysfunction.
- Fluoride is identified as a neurotoxin.
- The National Toxicology Program conducts studies to assess the risks of environmental toxicants like fluoride.

“you really can't eat enough beets to get enough nitrate to improve your performance and the other caveat is that if you're using mouthwash you've got fluoride in your toothpaste or fluoride in your drinking water that you're mixing the beet powder in you're not going to get a nitric oxide benefit from it”
Main Takeaways:
- Consuming sufficient beets to gain performance benefits is impractical.
- Fluoride from mouthwash, toothpaste, or water can inhibit nitric oxide benefits from beets.
Notes: Discussion on practicality and interactions affecting beet consumption
Tone: Informative
