When I ate a lot of carbohydrates, no matter how thoroughly I brushed and floshed my teeth every day, my dentist would be like, “eh you could do better.”

When I sharply reduced my carbohydrates, even when I was a bit less thorough in brushing, my dentist would be like, “it all looks great, good job.”

Just my multi-year experience. I don’t claim to say it’s universal.

When I reduce my carb to almost 0 on a carnivore diet, I cancel my dentist. No more troubles, gums regenerate healthier & tartar gets away almost alone! Live on the #Bitcoin #carnivore #diet for #longevity and wave the Fiat carb destructive way of life.

The bacteria in our mouth can’t process proteins and fats. They thrive on carbs, which causes them to reproduce and form more of a biofilm, which then leads to increased gingivitis and higher cavity risk. No carnivore ever got a cavity

Same! I also started brushing with sea salt instead of fluoride toothpaste and my teeth and gums never felt better

Heading to the dentist today. My carbs were up this period. Buckling up.

Makes sense. Some people just have genetically better teeth tho too. I brush every few days and eat mostly keto and have never had an issue

Since going keto my overall health greatly improved. Changing up how one eats solves many issues especially if you concentrate on whole, non processed foods. Eliminating the food industries poisonous chemical cocktails in what you eat is life changing.

Starchy carbs that get caught in your teeth a while (e.g. chips/crisps, biscuits/cookies) are the worst culprits

I've experienced the same after going carnivore in January.

I avoided the dentist for 7 years eating a no carb diet. When I finally went back to the dentist, he didn't believe me that I hadn't been in so long. 😂

Exact same experience. I actually stopped brushing so frequently when on a carnivore diet since I didn't feel the need anymore...

I's funny, I noticed the same thing. I never get hair on my teeth when I do all beef for a few days. There must be a ton of fluoride in meat...

Lyn, it should be interesting specifying carbs (or any macronutrients) source. Fruits are different from cookies as plant based protein has different aminoacids composition compared to animals’ ones.

I could tell a story like that, abut fluoride. Holes and cavities was never an issue with my teeth, with or without carbs and sugar. However, plack build up always has been, no matter the amount of flossing and electric toothbrushes, I always had to go to the dental hygienist to get rid of that plac...
