Having “perfect teeth” requires a base level of effort but it never happens by accident.

Every time I meet someone with a 10/10 smile in my office, I ask them

“what’s your secret?”

And they always have an answer. Whether the answer is responsible or not, there is a sense of

Science is always evolving. In the past you’d have to pick up a paper and find out that something previously thought to be good for us, is now bad. Smoking is a quintessential example of this.

Now you need to place bets on which dissident health philosophy will turn out to have

Good healthcare doesn’t scale.

Good service as a whole also breaks at scale, but that will anger a lot more people than if I just limit it to healthcare.

The husband is brushing extremely hard, and has probably worn down his teeth giving pits/notches by the gum line.

Brush gently, and then go more gentle than that. Extra soft bristles only.

There’s clearly a demand for “alternative” health, and that unmet need is being fulfilled by people without credentials.

Degrees and accolades have their place, but their importance is eroding with the rise of health influencers that have no formal training.

What we need now

Surprising causes of major dental problems (no particular order)

- Acid Reflux/GERD
- Mouth Breathing
- Adderall & Antidepressants
- Vegan
- Autoimmune disease
- Chewing Ice
- Diabetes

These aren't a promise for problems but they covertly contribute

biöm Gator | Dentist just tried NOBS toothpaste for the first time—definitely lived up to the hype! I thought it might be a placebo, but…

My teeth have never felt cleaner for longer! This stuff is exceptional in every way—black magic is definitely at play here.

Sunscreen, statins and fluoride toothpastes are ubiquitously used yet we still have unprecedented levels of skin cancer, high cholesterol and cavities.

The real irony is that people want to be heard, and all they’re met with is

“Shhh just use it”

Science is supposed to be

Name another place on the internet where you get a firsthand account of Billy Mays, the OxiClean King and his fiery hatred for the ShamWow guy.

Perhaps one of the most overlooked but crucial things impacting whole body and brain health is oral health care. The science based protocols are simple and effective. Covered here (time stamped): hubermanlab.com/episode/how-to…

Counterintuitively, they do this because they are not taught good business or hospitality.

Business is a dirty word in healthcare, but the best doctors understand that being honest creates a bulletproof practice, loyal patients, happy staff and ultimately a better business.

The GOAT of toothpastes.

Another day, another patient that says

“I’m here for a second opinion, the last dentist said I have 10 cavities”

Amount of cavities she has: zero

Since I was a teenager I experienced some degree of tooth sensitivity from poor nutrition and drug use

Literally the ONLY thing that's fully reversed this has been nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste

At this point my tooth sensitivity is completely gone

If the doctors are unhappy and the patients are unhappy this means one of two things:

1) someone is lying
2) there’s a middle man laughing all the way to the bank

Guess which one it is?

Exciting things happening at biöm

2024 is shaping up to be the year of data. If you want to show the world fluoride-free toothpaste can be effective, data is the only way to do it.

It's expensive/exhausting/demanding but I feel good.

Anyway, we updated the box design:

Pretty good overview for basic oral hygiene maintenance from Bryan.

I’ve always felt that his routine is in the 99th percentile of average people, but if he wanted to up his game there are a few things I’d add that would be more consistent with his mission.
