The Amish Have Never Been to a Dentist — The $2 Paste They’ve Used for 200 Years

Ezekiel Diet Note: I personally plan to move to this recipe for toothpaste. I use Pearlie White Active Remineralization Fluoride Free Toothpaste that now costs $17.00 a tube. It’s the best toothpaste I’ve ever used and has eliminated the need for dental visits. However, when I open a new tube I squeeze the tube almost flat to release all the air out of the tube. I think every time “I need to find a better solution.” Now I have the better solution, I’ll start this immediately and just use the expensive tubes when traveling.

One key point I believe not emphasized enough in this video is the importance of the 84 minerals in Himalayan sea salt for the morning “wash” or rinse. All salt is sea salt but most has the minerals stripped out in processing. The salt you use needs to come from deep underground sources like Real salt (60 minerals) or Himalayan pink salt (84 minerals). The minerals in the salt are what’s needed to re-mineralize your teeth. The minerals are what’s missing from 99% of toothpaste in stores. The maker of the video completely missed the importance of re-mineralizing teeth when you rinse or brush.

Forty miles outside Millersburg, Ohio, there is a seventy-three-year-old Amish grandmother named Ruth who has thirty-one of her thirty-two original teeth. She has never bought a tube of toothpaste. Not once in her life. A one-pound box of baking soda from any grocery store costs a dollar fifty. A container of fine sea salt costs two dollars. A pinch of turmeric costs pennies. A one-ounce bottle of clove essential oil from any health food store costs eight dollars and lasts over a year. And when you combine the four using a recipe the Anabaptist settlers brought over from Switzerland and Germany in the seventeen hundreds, you eliminate the need to ever buy another tube of commercial toothpaste — without changing your routine, without seeing a specialist, and without spending another forty thousand dollars over your lifetime on dental work that was never supposed to be necessary.

The American dental industry generates over one hundred and sixty billion dollars in annual revenue. The average American man over sixty has spent somewhere between eighteen thousand and forty thousand dollars on dental work — cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, whitening treatments, extractions, implants. The average tube of name-brand toothpaste costs four dollars and lasts about a month — forty-eight dollars a year per person, almost two hundred dollars a year for a family of four, close to four thousand dollars over a lifetime on toothpaste alone. The Amish paste, made at home in a mason jar, comes out to roughly twelve dollars a year for the entire family. It works because baking soda neutralizes the acids that cause cavities within thirty seconds of brushing, sea salt acts as a mild antiseptic that pulls inflammation out of gum tissue through osmosis, turmeric contains a compound called curcumin with documented anti-inflammatory properties, and clove oil contains eugenol — a compound shown in the Journal of Dentistry in two thousand six and again in two thousand twelve to kill streptococcus mutans more effectively than several prescription mouthwashes.

In nineteen fourteen, the American Dental Association partnered with a major toothpaste manufacturer to begin promoting commercial paste as the only acceptable form of oral care. Before that year, most American families made their own dentifrice at home, using recipes nearly identical to what the Amish still use today. The campaign was relentless — magazines, radio, eventually television — and within thirty years, the idea of homemade toothpaste had been pushed to the margins, treated as primitive, unscientific, even unhygienic. In nineteen hundred, the average American adult had lost six teeth by age forty. By nineteen fifty, that number had climbed to eleven. By nineteen eighty, despite the explosion of commercial toothpaste, fluoridated water, and a dentist on every corner, the average had only dropped to nine. Meanwhile, surveys of Amish adults over sixty have consistently shown that they retain, on average, twenty-six of their thirty-two original teeth — with no fluoride, no professional cleanings, and no electric toothbrushes. Buried on page nine of a twenty seventeen University at Buffalo study titled “oral health and medical conditions among Amish children,” there is one sentence the researchers almost left out about a sixty-second morning practice the most dental-resilient elders share — a practice a bishop in Lancaster County told me his great-grandfather brought over from a village near Bern, Switzerland, in the eighteen thirties.

This video shows you the four-ingredient paste any man can mix in a mason jar in ten minutes for under two dollars, the morning rinse from page nine of the Buffalo study that kills the ten to twenty billion bacteria that multiply in your mouth overnight, and the historical record going back to seventeen ninety-three documenting why the Amish kept their teeth while their English neighbors lost theirs — starting this weekend, with materials from any grocery store.
