      Hey Dr. Greg, I had a frenectomy procedure of the upper lip before getting my braces and I now have a scar in my gums where my frenum was, is there anything I can do about the scar?

    Hey you forgot to mention to ALWAYS rinse your mouth out with water after every meal. Getting all the chunks of food out every time helps tremendously. After every meal I do that and look throughly to make sure there’s no other particles that could be stuck or visible. It helps with bad breath, appearance & makes it even more easy to brush

    • @Life_Improbable
      @Life_Improbable 3 роки тому +5

      Either one hour after you eat or just before. Brushing fills the tubules and protects enamel while you eat. When you eat, the acids from food and bacteria demineralize the teeth, making the enamel easier to scrape off. After about an hour, the pH normalizes and the teeth remineralize. So either before you eat or an hour after.

    I do have an electric toothbrush, but my gums bleed more while using it compared to the typical toothbrush people use.

    I'm happy I don't have to wear mine for much longer. Too hard to keep your teeth clean.

    Can you please tell me how I can control tartar? It forms EXTREMELY quickly on the back of my bottom teeth and I hate it. Also ever since I’ve gotten braces, I believe I have tartar underneath certain brackets on the front of the teeth. Can you give me any advice? I want to be hygienic and have good oral health.

      Mix hydrogen peroxide 3% with ur mouth wash. You can use ur listerine cover of 1 cup peroxide, 1 cup listerine and 1 cup water.

    How come most orthodontists and dentists don't recommend Plax and Act as part of their oral hygiene routine?

      I will recommend a fluoridated mouth rinse but thats more so for added protection.. usually waterflossing & brushing properly is adequate for most patients =]

    Amazon has waterpik-type teeth cleaning appliances under different names and a lot less expensive. Do you think they are just as effective?
