The Truth About Tooth Decay
00:00:00.000 | Every time you have a meal, the teeth demineralize, and then the biome that sits on the biofilm
00:00:04.920 | brings in calcium, phosphate, other minerals from the saliva.
00:00:08.640 | Again, that's a bank too.
00:00:10.340 | And it pulls it past that thin film, the biofilm.
00:00:14.140 | And again, if it's dysbiotic and too thick and you haven't been brushing or you've been
00:00:17.440 | feeding it with carbohydrates, that biofilm becomes dysfunctional.
00:00:20.520 | It doesn't remineralize as well.
00:00:22.280 | But that's what that little layer does on that inanimate object.
00:00:25.380 | It keeps the calcium from getting pulled out.
00:00:28.900 | And if it is, it puts it back in.
00:00:30.760 | That's that demineralization, remineralization cycle.
00:00:33.440 | Again, 15, 20 years ago, it was like you had a hole in the tooth.
00:00:36.260 | That was it.
00:00:36.680 | You're done.
00:00:37.040 | Get a filling.
00:00:37.580 | But now we understand it's dynamic.
