Understanding Tooth Decay and Prevention

Dentists treat cavities with a drill.

That's like using a knife to treat an infection.

You gotta keep cutting more and more off every time.

If anybody's ever had one filling, had another one, and another one,

and another

one, and another one, you say, "Wait, what?

If that solved the problem, how come we're doing this again,

and again, and again,

and again?" It doesn't solve the problem because the tooth decay is caused by a bug

called Streptococcus mutans. Believe me, it's an infection that goes from

person to person to person. DNA testing shows it's coming from the

mother, or grandmother, or the caregiver to the child at about age

two.

So it's a, it's a germ. It's transferred from the people that care

for the child. All the germs in the baby's body come from

mother.

So if there happened to be a bad one in the mix, you can very simply get rid of

it. You don't need it. It's not a valuable bug.

Kill it so it's gone.

Hmm.

And if you really cared about children not having cavities, whenever they went to

kindergarten or preschool, then have all the little kiddies spit in a

tube, and then incubate it, and if it turns purple, they've got

Streptococcus mutans. When you do that, one out of five children will turn that

tube purple. So then you take that kid, have them br- the mother brush the

teeth with iodine or one of the bug-killing agents,

and then you have them spit in the tooth again, in the tube again, and you look

until that tube doesn't turn purple.

You got rid of the bug that causes tooth-
