In a recent Twitter thread, Simmo (@yoursimmo) challenges conventional dental practices, arguing that common products like fluoride toothpaste and alcohol-based mouthwashes may negatively impact overall health—particularly testosterone levels, gut health, and brain function. (View the thread)
The Problem with Modern Dental Care
Simmo asserts that fluoride, while commonly used to protect teeth, has been linked to reduced IQ and lower testosterone levels. He questions whether this is merely corporate oversight or a deliberate attempt to weaken individuals.
He emphasizes that oral health is the foundation of overall well-being. A compromised oral microbiome has been associated with numerous health issues, including:
• Heart disease
• Erectile dysfunction
• Low testosterone
• Brain fog
• Chronic inflammation
• Autoimmune disorders
The Real Cause of Cavities?
Simmo challenges the common belief that sugar is the primary cause of cavities. Instead, he argues that factors such as:
• Chronic mouth breathing
• Processed foods
• Fluoride-laden toothpaste
• Artificial mouthwashes
• Microplastics in toothbrushes
• Poor gut health
• A diet lacking in broths, bones, and connective tissues
…are more significant contributors to dental problems and declining testosterone levels.
A Six-Step Protocol for Better Oral Health
Simmo outlines a natural six-step protocol to improve oral health and overall wellness.
1. Switch to Nasal Breathing
Encourages exclusive nasal breathing—even suggesting mouth taping at night—to prevent harmful bacterial overgrowth due to mouth breathing.
2. Daily Tongue Scraping
Recommends using a copper tongue scraper each morning to remove bacteria, toxins, and dead cells before they are reabsorbed into the body.
3. Eliminate Fluoride Toothpaste
Suggests replacing fluoride toothpaste with alternatives like NOBS or homemade mixtures containing activated charcoal and coconut oil to support testosterone levels.
4. Use a Boar Bristle Toothbrush
Advises switching from plastic toothbrushes, which may leach estrogenic microplastics, to natural boar bristle brushes for better hormonal health.
5. Avoid Commercial Mouthwash
Warns against alcohol-based mouthwashes that destroy beneficial oral bacteria. Instead, recommends oil pulling with coconut oil for 10-15 minutes each morning.
6. Consume Bone Broth and Fermented Foods
Suggests daily intake of bone broth and fermented foods to rebuild both the oral and gut microbiomes.
• Collagen aids gum tissue regeneration.
• Fermented foods introduce beneficial bacteria.
Results and Final Thoughts
According to Simmo, following this protocol has led to:
• Elimination of morning breath
• Reversal of gum recession
• Improved digestion
• Increased testosterone levels
• Elimination of brain fog
He concludes by stressing that the mouth is the gateway to health and hormones—improving oral health can lead to significant overall well-being.
