Thank you, Paul, I really appreciate your videos. I agree, maintaining oral health throughout the day is definitely a time commitment, and one that must be integrated into the daily routine. I do oil pulling in the morning, and rinse my mouth out after meals with a water flosser and have xylitol mints or xylitol mouthwash. I also recently bought an ultrasonic cleaner for my retainer and nightguard, and sterilize them every morning. In the 20+ years of wearing them, no dentist has ever said anything about how the bacteria on these appliances could affect my teeth and gums. I learned by doing my own research. Previously I was doing a weekly soak with Efferdent and brushing them daily- but it doesn't do much. The ultrasonic cleaner has been a worthwhile investment. I'm 45 and have gum recession that runs in my family, and I'm doing everything I can to maintain what I have and avoid surgeries down the road.
Glad you like the videos and that's a great tip. I know that people soak their toothbrush in similar cleaning liquids and I bet the same concept goes for retainers and nightguards. All that bacteria hidden in plain sight in the tools that we use on a daily basis. Appreciate the comment and good luck with your gum maintaining endeavors, ya got this!
I brush only once at night. In the morning, I oil pull with a sprinkle of Erythritol. No specific toothpaste, currently I am using Sensodyne. I talk about my specific routine in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/4ADF8Y9hRe4/v-deo.html
Interesting. The most bothersome thing in my mouth is the saliva flow, especially after like 80% of foods. After many foods swallowing becomes uncontrollable and loudly moist, it can be fixed with saliva neutralizer-foods and organic 100% fluoride free toothpastes. I solved it completely with these control measures: 1. Saliva neutralizing foods must be taken at the end of the meal, to have that neutral non-watery saliva. The amount of neutralizing foods must be sufficient, it takes like 2-3 bananas to neutralize omelette + granola with poured milk. Neutralizer foods: bananas, carrots, sushi rice. 2. Having 2 meals and 2-3 times brushing teeth. 3. Drinking enough water. 4. Not consuming ultra saliva causing foods at all. All soups I tried are garbage that causes that nasty flow... How do people even live like that? I hated it for entire life until these fixes. Now I control swallowing and get no terrible aftertaste. Smell also improved. Compatible toothpastes (i'm not affiliated with these companies): Urtekram Fluoride-free, Logodent, SPLAT (SPLAT is russian). Those are super natural and smooth, huge difference in effect.
I actually don't brush in the morning. Just oil pull with a sprinkle of Erythritol and continue on with my day. Feel it out for yourself, if you think you need a brush before or after then do so. Try to be reactive to how your mouth feels instead of sticking to a routine with no flexibility I go more into detail on my routine in the 4th video - ua-cam.com/video/4ADF8Y9hRe4/v-deo.html

Do you brush twice a day? What toothpaste do you use?

Hi mate!
How long ago have you removed your 8th teeth?
Did you notice your face structure change?
Did other teeth move back?
no sugar is such a big difference
Totally agree! From a plaque free mouth, one can just feel the plaque building up shortly after a sugary treat if not dealt with +___+
Oil pulling after brushing or before?
I actually don't brush in the morning. Just oil pull with a sprinkle of Erythritol and continue on with my day. Feel it out for yourself, if you think you need a brush before or after then do so. Try to be reactive to how your mouth feels instead of sticking to a routine with no flexibility

What do you think about salt water rinse
I have only done salt water gargles when I was sick. Not for any specific oral health purposes.
Oil pulling can regrow gum
