Full radio interview \u2014 Dr. Yarden Goldstein with Zohar Tzemach-Wilson on biological dentistry, cavities, materials, and daily habits. (Listen via the image\/audio on the original post.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden Goldstein:<\/strong> Nice to meet you.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> It sounds like architecture\u2014level the mountain before building a house.<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> That is where the problem starts. Most \u201choles\u201d reflect a broader imbalance\u2014diet, microbiome, and materials\u2014not only a local drill-and-fill story.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> So there is logic to that. When you say sugars\u2014do you mean croissants and breads too?<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Yes. Fermentable carbohydrates feed acid-producing bacteria. Frequency matters as much as amount. Refining the oral environment\u2014reducing constant sugar exposure, supporting saliva, and choosing kinder materials\u2014prevents the cycle of fillings that themselves need replacing.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> You said earlier the dentist must know the patient\u2019s oral cavity\u2014for example whether to fill a cavity or not?<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Exactly. Early demineralization can sometimes remineralize. Not every shadow needs a bur. We assess activity, hygiene, diet, and risk before intervening.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> It sounds like a face cream\u2014but for teeth.<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Yes\u2014remineralizing pastes and gels (for example CPP-ACP or related technologies) deliver calcium and phosphate to the surface. Abroad these are common; we use them when indicated alongside hygiene coaching.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> Are those pastes already available overseas?<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Yes, and some reach Israel through clinics or specialty channels. They are adjuncts, not magic\u2014they work best with diet and plaque control.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> Chewing gums\u2014are they widely used? Is xylitol one of those problematic sugar substitutes?<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Xylitol is different from many artificial sweeteners: oral bacteria cannot ferment it well, and it can reduce S. mutans<\/em> counts with regular use. Look for high xylitol content; moderation matters for digestion. It is a tool, not a license for sugar grazing.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> So the only reason SLS is in toothpaste is foam?<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Largely yes\u2014the foam feels \u201cclean\u201d but does not clean better. SLS can irritate mucosa and trigger aphthae in sensitive people. Foam is marketing psychology; detergent-free or low-SLS pastes are kinder for many mouths.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> Like breaking up a demonstration with a water hose\u2026<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> A vivid image\u2014harsh chemistry that disperses everything instead of supporting a balanced microbiome.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> Many people brush in the morning. Health shops now sell fluoride-free pastes.<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Brushing timing and technique matter more than brand slogans. Fluoride has a long caries-prevention record; some patients prefer alternatives for personal or medical reasons. We discuss risk, diet, and remineralization options case by case rather than dogma.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> When you talk vitamins\u2014diet or those tooth creams?<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Both layers. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K2) and minerals support tooth and bone metabolism from inside; topical remineralizers work at the surface. Diet remains the foundation.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> Another problematic material\u2014amalgam fillings. What are they?<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Amalgam is a mercury-containing alloy used for decades. It is durable and cheap, but mercury raises biological concerns\u2014especially with vapor release during chewing, polishing, or removal. Biological dentistry prefers mercury-free materials and safe removal protocols when replacement is chosen.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> Over how many years is that mercury released?<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Release is ongoing at low levels and spikes with heat, abrasion, and bruxism. Individual burden varies with number of fillings, grinding, and detox capacity. We do not scare\u2014we inform and plan carefully if removal is indicated.<\/p>\n

Zohar:<\/strong> How many biological dentists are there in Israel today?<\/p>\n

Dr. Yarden:<\/strong> Still a small community compared with conventional practice, but interest is growing\u2014biocompatible materials, attention to the oral\u2013systemic link, and patient-centered risk assessment.<\/p>\n

Closing themes from the interview:<\/strong> prevent before you drill; respect the oral microbiome; question foaming detergents and unnecessary antibiotics; use xylitol and remineralization wisely; treat amalgam thoughtfully; and partner with a dentist who sees the mouth as part of whole-body health.<\/p>\n
