Do you educate schools? I wish we had someone like you when I was at school. Children can't always rely on parents/guardians educating them. There has to be a better program of educating children on oral care. Thank you for all the advice I have been putting it into practice for the past few weeks and I really hope it will help my teeth going forward.
yessss!!! thank you for this kind comment! I do!!!! here's a video :) ua-cam.com/video/_shFEdKttDo/v-deo.html I wish I could do it every day! it's so fun and rewarding!
I am prone to gum disease and cavities. There is something about my bacterial flora in saliva that does that. But even for me, introducing electric toothbrush, adding interdental brush and water flossing, as well as the tongue scraper to my daily routine, worked magic. I used to floss once per day, and I've been cleaning my teeth twice/day. But I still had recurring gum disease. After the deep cleaning that I had a year ago, I added things recommended by my dentist (interdental brushes, electric toothbrush and better toothpaste), as well as stuff I've found on my own (water flosser and tongue scraper). Since then, I have perfectly healthy gums and I don't have issues with cavities. I know a year is not long, but for me - it is. Sure, it takes extra time, but since my oral health does not affect me anymore, that's very little price to pay
yesss!!! thank you for sharing this! truly it will help inspire others to care for their mouth at home! keep up the great work. wishing you continuted dental health.
I recently found out that I have periodontal disease and had to have two teeth extracted. In an effort to not lose anymore teeth and prevent cavities, my dental care routine is extensive. I brush for two minutes when I wake up and clean my tongue. I use a water flosser after every meal and use a mouth wash with xylitol and fluoride after each water flossing. In the evening I brush again, clean my tongue, use interdental brushes (i have a retainer on the back of the four upper front teeth) and finally I floss with string or picks. I also gently massage my gums several times per day, whenever I remember, either with fingers or with one of those silicone interdental brushes to massage in between teeth. I don’t rinse my mouth after brushing and I use a toothpaste with both xylitol and fluoride. I use a soft bristled toothbrush and everything is done fairly gently 🦷 I know it sounds intense, but I was really traumatised by all that dental work that needed to be done all of a sudden, so I’ll do anything and everything to not have to go through that again! I found Dr. Andrew Huberman’s video on oral health really educational. It helps to understand how tooth decay works and how it affects our entire body! take good care of your teeth at home, people. not doing so may prove to be expensive, stressful and painful
I have the same problem and have developed a very similar routine! I do believe us with a metal retainer behind our teeth are much much more prone to develop periodontal disease. No one told me what the risks were when I had it placed. Was it the same for you?
In the morning after breakfast, brush and use interdental cleaners( I have lots of spacing). Before bed, brushing, flossing, interdental cleaners and water pic. Every day!
I don’t like electric toothbrushes. I don’t like the vibration and I can never find one with soft enough bristles. Also I also seem to not get as good of a clean as when I use a manual toothbrush. Love interdental brushes and water flosser though!
To anyone in a rush 1. Electric toothbrush (x2) 2. Floss - never skip a night 3. Tongue scraper (x1/x2)- will let you experience acc fresh breath Extra things she mentioned - avoid natural toothpaste, use anti cavity toothpaste. For those cavity prone - anti cavity mouthwash For gum disease prone - use another method to clean in between teeth like water flosser
Question: Doesn’t brushing my tongue with my toothbrush not do the same job as a tongue scraper? I feel like my toothbrush cleans my tongue better than a tongue scrapper. Anyone else? In fact the io series of electric toothbrushes have a tongue cleaning feature option. 😅
I had a check up yesterday. They said I take EXCELLENT care of my teeth. I use interdental brushes, I brush twice a day (before breakfast and before bed, sometimes mid day) and I floss twice a day. I also do tongue scraping AND chew 2 grams of xylitol 5 times a day. That being said, they said I take EXCELLENT care of my teeth, yet I still have a giant cavity in a wisdom tooth, so it needs to be pulled, as well as TONNES of cavities that need to filled. Like SO MANY FILLINGS . How come my Dentist and Dental Hygienest are telling me I take EXCELLENT care of my teeth and gums, yet I still have so many cavities and fillings? :( I spend probably an hour maintaining my teeth in total everyday, so it's very disheartening not only to work so hard on my teeth, but also the amount of money I spend on all of these maintenance things, just to still spend more than my monthly income on dental work several times a year .
I'm so sorry to hear that! some people are more prone to cavities than others! and I always say to my patients "if you didn't care for your teeth as well as you do, then there might be even more dental problems" which is so unfortunate but in the long run it really is worth it to continue giving all you got with the daily home care. My best advice is to ask your dental providers at next appointment -- exactly this comment here. since they know your mouth best, they will be able to let you know if there's anything else you can do or do differently at home. wishing you continued dental health.
Love how you recommended the least expensive toothpaste. I always felt that the more pricey ones were just marketing but unnecessary. On another note, my husband never flosses and only brushes once a day and has had zero cavities 😡
i brush with an electric toothbrush 3-4 times a day. floss at least once a day. and it takes 5-10 minutes each time. but i get plaque that builds up so quickly in the minutes after i eat. and turns to tartar within an hour or 2. my brother is older, brushes once a day, never uses floss, and hasn’t ever had a single cleaning or filling.
What’s your opinion on brushing your gums? I floss and irrigate, but also when brushing I like to brush my gums after brushing my teeth. I have read in a few places this will cause gum recession, what’s your professional opinion? Thank you for all the great info you put out!
thank you! yes! and I use semi-custom whitening trays twice each year! I'll make a video soon showing how! until then, here's my whitening video that mentions it -- ua-cam.com/video/M_e2xDcR0yY/v-deo.html
I truly love all 3 -- sonicare, oral-b, and burst! I switch them up -- one in the morning, one at night, and one for travel :) links are in the description of this video :)
I am just going to start my floss. Can anyone please say, how often I have to change my floss picks ? can I floss all my tooth using one floss and then next day take a new floss, is this the way ?
here's my remineralize/enamel strengthening video: ua-cam.com/video/h1Qc-v5phXQ/v-deo.html and my sensitivity video: ua-cam.com/video/BYPRIeL9Jgg/v-deo.html and my oil pulling video: ua-cam.com/video/Kgil5LXU7DY/v-deo.html hope these help!
for sensitivity, make sure to massage your gums. It increases circulation to the gums and helps immensely. Sensitivity isn't all about enamel (although that can certainly contribute). Massage at least 2 minutes with coconut oil.
2021 was my first time going to a Dentist. It wasn’t so bad even though they kind of scared me when they recommended braces I’m so glad that never happened because I heard Braces hurt. My Dentist was surprised I still have some Baby Teeth.
I've seen research saying that you can use iodine on top of flouride varnish to help with cavities. They say the iodine a lone cuts down cavities when applied to the tooth surfaces. My question is will that stain your teeth? I see conflicting answers on dr google😊
Hello, i currently have a respiratory infection, blocked sinus, and having to breathe out my mouth. My top front teeth for the last few hours have this weird cold sensation come and go every few minutes for the last few hours. What can it be?
I'm sorry butdid you link an electric toothbrush that costs $379.96??? I prefer Sonicare toothbrushes does anyone know one that is less than $100 and has pressure sensor?
She put a range of prices for everyone. I would happily pay $400 for a toothbrush because I want the absolute best technology available. Others wouldn’t need bluetooth/app etc so prefer a budget model choice is good!
Nice! That's great to hear :) Dental health can vary due to genetics, diet, hygiene habits, and access to care. Some may have low cavity rates like you, while others might experience more cavities due to different factors. Your positive experience highlights the importance of finding a dental routine that suits you and regular check-ups for early detection and care.

Hi! I just want to ask there are some dentists who says that flossing is not important? Why they say like this?

A good Mother or Father will learn so that they can teach their children. I do believe it should be a part of education.

So many people these days know so little because they don't listen to information fully, just someone's smart of it.
Thanks sister ❤
Literally the toungue scraper was new for me

You can also use a waterpik's tongue scrapper head. To Power Wash and Tongue Scrape your tongue.
I was going to ask the same thing
Happy 500k 🎉

I used to have cavities and gum disease it was my 100% my fault right I just wish I never had gum disease or cavities

@teethtalkgirl does an electric toothbrush make you more prone to gum recession???? I’ve been getting multiple sides and want to know what you think!
Hey Whitney can u plz make a video about Invisalign with a crown and one missing molar as it was extracted and needs to be replaced
I am just going to start my floss. Can anyone please say, how often I have to change my floss picks ? can I floss all my tooth using one floss and then next day take a new floss, is this the way ?
Yes.
Does anybody know 1st how to reminerlize the teeth and 2nd what to do for tooth sensivity?
If oil pulling is good what oils are great for tooth
here's my remineralize/enamel strengthening video: ua-cam.com/video/h1Qc-v5phXQ/v-deo.html
and my sensitivity video: ua-cam.com/video/BYPRIeL9Jgg/v-deo.html
and my oil pulling video: ua-cam.com/video/Kgil5LXU7DY/v-deo.html
hope these help!
for sensitivity, make sure to massage your gums. It increases circulation to the gums and helps immensely. Sensitivity isn't all about enamel (although that can certainly contribute). Massage at least 2 minutes with coconut oil.
2021 was my first time going to a Dentist.
It wasn’t so bad even though they kind of scared me when they recommended braces I’m so glad that never happened because I heard Braces hurt.
My Dentist was surprised I still have some Baby Teeth.
Thanks for the tips! You make oral care fun 😊❤
thank you for watching!
What about using toothbrush for tongue scraping
I’ve read actual tongue scraping is better. But I brush my tongue and then use a tongue scraper after. Works for me
Question - do fillings hurt. My molars have brown on parts on the top and I think it is a cavity so I’m just seeing if it’s going to hurt.
How do I floss my children's teeth?
floss picks help so much! here's my video that shows how to care for kid teeth -- hope this helps: ua-cam.com/video/x81ag8-7VmE/v-deo.html
I've seen research saying that you can use iodine on top of flouride varnish to help with cavities. They say the iodine a lone cuts down cavities when applied to the tooth surfaces. My question is will that stain your teeth? I see conflicting answers on dr google😊
Use a Waterpik to clean the gum line then oil pull for 10-15 minutes first thing in the morning with brushing and lastly mouthwash.
Can you do a review on cocofloss
This video was extremely helpful, if only i had teeth 😢
For someone with stage ii gum disease is water pick as good as manual floss?
here's my water floss vs string floss video -- hope this helps explain: ua-cam.com/video/yaZtNAVZ1Ao/v-deo.html
Hello, i currently have a respiratory infection, blocked sinus, and having to breathe out my mouth. My top front teeth for the last few hours have this weird cold sensation come and go every few minutes for the last few hours. What can it be?
Can I use china thread for flossing?
I'm sorry butdid you link an electric toothbrush that costs $379.96??? I prefer Sonicare toothbrushes does anyone know one that is less than $100 and has pressure sensor?
she also linked one for $40 bucks... i have the Philips Sonicare Prestige and love it!
She put a range of prices for everyone. I would happily pay $400 for a toothbrush because I want the absolute best technology available. Others wouldn’t need bluetooth/app etc so prefer a budget model choice is good!
here are other sonicare models with pressure sensors:
amzn.to/3Um8yDT
amzn.to/3Q7IA4B
do you have that $200 tooth bush
I do and I love it SO much. Luckily I got it for free at a dental tradeshow but if it ever breaks, I'm definitely buying another one.
@@TeethTalk dang u fancy
How are you supposed to scrape your tongue with a spoon if you’re tongue tied?
i thought cleanings are bad for you ?
nope -- the opposite! here's my video that explains: ua-cam.com/video/kH6JrLmj4yc/v-deo.html
Fluoride is not that great. Xylitol does a much better job
here's my xylitol vs fluoride video -- hope this helps: ua-cam.com/video/_q_mutp0jGM/v-deo.html
i use natural toothpaste and just went to the dentist after 3 years and he said no cavities 💀
