How do you fit your hands inside your mouth holding the floss that way?!
For real, I have a tiny mouth.

LMFAO
He was an all-American at U of Alabama, SuperBowl champ with the NY Jets, and now he is a dentist.. I am so very impressed! Amazing.
Oh man…this is Dr. Joseph Nemeth…Joe Namath is the hall of fame football player.

Thank you, my jaw was starting to get sore!

Aha, I’m watching this and when my dentist was flossing my teeth. She basically shoved it in and started going at it like she was sawing at my gums.
yep
Same here
Jesus😐
Yh, I remember there being blood in my mouth the first time I went, and for years I used to wonder how that happened. Makes sense now
What comic is that in your profile? It looks like a webtoon.
Ive been flossing the wrong way my whole lifee!😰
It's never too late to change!
Me too. And I feel so bad for the damage Ive caused
I snap the floss down and hit my papilla then question why my gums bleed 🙄😂. Nice to know!
The whole time I thought I was doing a good job flossing but now I realized I've been flossing way too aggressively by forcefully running the floss over the papilla back and forth multiple times. From now on I'm going to be a lot more careful and hopefully my gums can improve.
Me too. Have u seen improvement? They get on me so much in the dentist office, that I get aggressive majorly with the floss. I did a lot of damage
@@ImpulsoCreativo9322 I well I think my gums are starting to grow back, only because I don't feel as much air pass through my teeth when I'm done flossing. So I think it's an improvement
@@FinancialCharles thats awesome. Thanks for sharing! I hope I can get it too and get my gum issues under control.
I had no idea the floss shouldn't touch the gums. Learn something new every day.
when you realize you have been flossing wrong your whole life
I've never flossed, but my dentist says I have to start right? After she cleans my teeth, she herself flosses my teeth which really confuses me, because she was doing it really AGGRESSIVELY. Me not knowing if this is really what flossing just feels like on a daily basis was dreading flossing. Thank you for the explanation!
very informative, and love that you actually mentioned the little footnotes like the difference between floss and tape. Very good flow. I grew up using a tongue scraper (it comes as a metal/plastic thin flat strip. I use plastic as the aluminium one tends to make my tongue bleed) as part of my oral hygiene, I wonder what your views are on them?
I've been sawing at my papillas thinking it was the correct way to floss. Explains the blood. Thankyou for the video.
I actually got gaps from flossing the incorrect way so I’m grateful I found this
I accidentally clicked this while my phone was in my pocket 👁👄👁
There are no accidents
Question- can damaged gums be fixed or recovered?
So I've been flossing wrong for 23 years. Great. 😭🥺😭
I wasn't finding this video I was finding how to floss with your hands like a boss not teeth floss I clicked the wrong video but I watched the whole video lol!
thank you.. i have been flossing my teeth wrong... Thank you for this.
I thought I was taking great care of my teeth and gums. I brush and use mouth wash twice daily and floss every night. I went to the dentist today for the first time in 3 years and found out I actually have pretty bad gum disease because I was just flossing between my teeth and not going below the gum line. I also didn't know that you're supposed to floss between your very back tooth and gum. I'm 23 and always visited the dentist regularly up until the last few years and now I feel REALLY stupid knowing I've been flossing wrong this entire time and thinking my teeth were really healthy
Oh goody. I appriciate this so much thank you!❤. I will help spread this msg for souls sake💜. Take care of our health💚
Wow! Joe Nemeth! Now, that's a cool name!
I liked this video. Very educational. I think some points I would have benefited from hearing would be, how to get to the back of the mouth and how many times should one floss. But over all great video
I don't understand one thing I am new to flossing and all the videos out there show you that you have to bring your floss under the gum line and go up and down but here you said we should not irritate the Papilla so should I still bring the floss under the gumline without irritating it or I should not do that at all ?
Definitely like watching your videos they have great advice and gives me more confidence on taking care of my teeth 👍👍
I am suffering gum bleeding problem, can I do floss??
Yes! The flossing will likely solve your bleeding gum problem.
Yes but could you show it on yourself for you could never have the whole hand inside themouth - and I have always wonderedhave it is possible to floss the back teeth ?
My dentist said to floss the area that you said not to.
How do you keep the bacteria from your index fingers from moving to the new pieces of floss and getting into the next teeth you floss?
Really outstanding demo on dental flossing. But I’ve got to admit, dentists take the cake with scary-looking models of teeth.
If I floss like that (up and down motions), can't actually push the food remains in the space between the tooth and gums?
I wish my mother was actually looking at exactly I flossed earlier instead of just seeing me floss once and then leaving...
I only found out how to do it properly recently...
ive watched the first 60 seconds and im brushing my teeth right now
I thought you had to go in between the papilla when flossing, wish my dentist told me this, and also wish they told me the way you showed how to brush coz if they had showed me then I probably wouldn't have bad receding gums like i do now.
My mother died of a heart attack, to think all she had to do was floss her teeth is crazy.
Well not exactly! Gum disease bacteria can contribute to heart attack, but it's not the only factor.
Thanks doctor for awesome explanation
Flossing starts at 2:04
Can you use spaget?
I want my teeth and gum to look like that plastic illustration.
we created a clinically proven and all-natural supplement available for anyone who's tortured by gum disease or tooth decay.rb.gy/msqezd
Should we rinse the floss with water before moving onto the next tooth? I use the easy floss sticks
HE IS LARRY KING!!!
Would do recommend LAPT ? Up and down motion pushes bacteria further down no?
Don't push the plaque into or below the gum line, instead when you get to the gum line gently floss horizontally
How come when my dentist flosses my teeth after cleaning she always be like aggressive and doesn't go up and down for 4-5 times, she only does it once then move on to the next tooth.
“ Amoeba” in your mouth. Wow 😳
Crazy right! Most people would have no idea.

I dated a southern woman once, "papilla" sounds exactly how she said "pillow" lol
i can only fit floss. i tried tape when i accidentally bought the wrong one. i almost couldnt get it out from between the teeth
What do you think of the water flossing method?
This guy makes me feel like if I don’t floss I will die
so use a roll of floss instead of those floss picks. In order to use "new" floss on each tooth valley if you will
I have wires behind my teeth so I have to use a threader to get the floss around that. How do I do that without irriatating or hurting the papilla?
All other videos on UA-cam: lets saw down that papilla! Go deeper!
I have gingivitis. Is there anything you recommend doing that could make it go away
Man saving our teeth here.
Wow my dentist do it hard, fast, and go inside the gums it seems and I might have messed up one tooth as it wiggles and bleeds all the time I floss it. I’ll stop going inside the gum part as they did at my dentist
Hi..what do you mean -"don't snap it "?
I snap it down and I have a tooth filling so I’m scared that the filling is coming off cause there is blood after or a cavity which I am also scared of :(
Snap the dental floss down*
Try to ease the floss between your teeth at an angle. Its much easier for it to slip through if you go between the tooth at a 45 degree angle instead of a 90 degree angle.
Joseph R Nemeth DDS & Associates ok thank you
Should we use the floss before of after brushing teeth?
2:00 you’re welcome
Thx
DR. I wish i learned this 10 years ago most of my papillae is gone or receded. Can the pinhole technique help with my missing papillae?
Damn our mouths can literally kill us ! F junk food I’m staying healthy
I've been snapping it down and wondering why my gums bleed so much 🤦♀️
You've been irritating your papillae.
I can't go between my teeth.. What should I do?
The reason I started flossing was because my Gums were bleeding when I went to the dentist and I felt embarrassed so I floss everyday
Is the parasite on your teeth the same as when you get parasites in your body? Also how easy is it to get parasites on your teeth?
tanks dok very usfull❤️
What if the floss doesn't fit between your teeth? Do you just go as far as it can or force it?
Can we floss the tooth right next to the gum where the wisdom tooth is missing?
Yes
2:03 is where he shows it
What can i use insted of floss cz i don't have. Like any diy tips? I tried using thin wool but its not slipery and strong :(
Can use thread for floss ??
How can I open my mouth so wide to floss like that doctor?🤔
So are we supposed to do it all the way down inside the papila or not cause half dentists say yes and half no, make up your danm mind
Yes! You want to go all the way down below the gumline. That's where the bacteria hide.
What happens if you been pushing it down for years
i floss regularly and its not enough
i’d recommend interdental brush
Thank you
Yeah cool, the only problem is MY MOUTH ISN'T OPEN IN THE SIDES
Hy dr, can i use super floss to remove plaque because i had wide space problem between my teeth.
I was always told to floss a " C" shape through your gums, around the teeth. Is this bad your gums?
no that is what you're supposed to do. The most damaging plaque/bacteria is what is gathering UNDER the gum line causing gum recession. What he showed is not at all addressing this. This video is wrong
Hi doc.. How many times of a day we need to floss?
1-2
I try to learn how to floss but EVERYTIME I try I fail, MISERABLY
Im Searching Floss of backpack kids why do I watch this
I never used to listen to my mom when she would tell me to brush my teeth.There would be days I would brush my teeth with baking powder or soda. I always brush my teeth in the morning and I have never flossed them. Since I was in quarantine for 5-6months I have not brushed my teeth. My gums just started to bleed randomly and just today it was falling apart . It wasnt all falling apart just a small piece. I am here now and I am 14 and I hope I can change for the better I have never had braces either bc my teeth were straight. I am 14 and I really want to try to fix it. Pls help!!!
Im no expert, but i hope you went to the dentist. That sounds like gum disease.
@@nonenone2669 ye I got a paste sth and now I don't bleed anymore all is good
Man, I would floss but just seeing gunk on the string makes me cringe. It grosses me out. I just stick to brushing twice a day.
I need to start flossing
Such great content. Thank you very much
I be flossin
I be flossin
I be flossin
Oh well this is the wrong video...... I thought it was the dance floss lol 😂😂😂
teresa wright Ah because the thumbnail wasn't clear enough...at least you learned something new to that day.
Today I ran Short I did wrong by using what I did
I am from London I have fantasies I really pinhole technique is there any way that you have any contacts in London that could please save my teeth
I have been flossing wrong this whole time lol
Hi Doctor,
I want to know that Dental Floss can be used twice?
My wife is a Dentist, she actually has patients tell her they don't have time to floss.
I floss every night and my gums are irritated. Sometimes they peel. It’s so annoying, maybe I need to floss 2-3 times a day? -_-
Have you looked into getting a Waterflosser?
Joseph R Nemeth DDS & Associates thanks for replying, my husband has a water flosser but I haven’t used it. Do you floss regularly and then use the water flosser at the end of the day? I flossed after every meal yesterday and it helped out a ton. My gums feel way better today.
Try searching UA-cam for a video that will benefit my health and mostly all that comes up are dance lessons
I wanted to search up dance lessons but all that came up was videos that will benefit my health.
@Joseph 😂😂😂
Yeesss!
@Steven They won't let you use the toilets / restrooms. Even urgently.
Poor form.
I escalated to Cranbourne manager Shane and politely requested many times but he was an uncourteous parrot repeating same thing, treat you like an animal.
Busting and first time there they said go to the pub or shopping centre which we don't even know the area! Wtf
What a joke. Let's see what action will be taken?
I'm lodging formal complaints in detail to DHS.
Pathetic conduct and appalling response by Shane ruined our morning.
He better hope his own mother does not have a full bladder in public and embarrass herself. Prik
This is the first government site I've been to that doesn't allow use of on-site water facilities.
If they book us there again I'll drink a cup of coffee beforehand, 2 litres of water for hydration, 1 litre of Cola so my urine is yellow, and pss myself on their floor so they can wipe it, for wasting our time and saying the same crap over again.
Star is for the pleasant to deal with interviewer Dani. Interpreter on call was also decent this time round.
Castoru' 33 LOL
thank you
i never floss till i went to the dentist and had 15 cavities
bob berry thanks for the inspiration
Same, I had 7
Gengivitis
That was PAINFUL to read
@@Mrsbeyonce1 I have 8
My parents never taught me how to floss and it always hurt when I tried it. I feel ashamed to be learning this only as an adult.
💯
It’s okay it’s better late than never (:
It’s pretty humiliating to be shown how to floss when your 64 years old.
Same
no need to be ashamed broo
I try to floss as much as I can but it is always painful and I realize from watching this video that I've been flossing entirely wrong. Lots of dentist will encourage you to floss but not tell or show you exactly what you're supposed to be doing. I had been flossing inside of my gums instead of just between my teeth, no wonder I always bled and my mouth was always soar. I'll definitely floss more after watching this.
floss more, floss right! And most importantly, dance floss too, it increases the effectiveness of flossing by 11%.
I actually saw floss videos to the gums, so awful. Dats obviously will hurt the gums. Glad u change your way of flossing. Hope u hav good gums now. ☺️👍
Me too! I've been flossing my gums. Never knew just my teeth. Now ill floss more!
This video is wrong. you are supposed to go under the gum line around your teeth. Obviously not on the gum between the teeth, but the floss has to curve around the tooth and go under the gum line. What he's showing is doing 50% of the work. Plaque accumulates on the teeth under the gum line as well.
@@Pingaheimer well you are supposed to do that so...
I’m 20 and just started flossing and didn’t start brushing my mouth regularly, and correctly until I was 15ish (I know, crazy). Broke a tooth at the beginning of this year, went to the dentist to get a root canal and my dentist said I had perfect teeth, no cavities, and my only issue was grinding. Insanely lucky.
Get a good habit of flossing and brushing going! Lucky, yes, but that luck runs out. Trust me, I'm in the process of getting my teeth fixed, after years of pain.
Kind of a late reply but same. I don't know why but I never regularly brushed and my teeth stayed perfect, except some yellow-ing which I now fixed by regular brushing and flossing.
Mrsuckitable what did the doc say about the grinding what he do about it
I grew up homeless and nobody taught me how or why to brush until I was 19 and I taught myself, I have had loads of cavities but luckily still have my teeth I'm taking much better care of them now!
