I'm surprised these videos aren't gaining more traction, it's great info. I love seeing more professionals coming out, and providing information / advice, that's contrary to what you get with conventional dentistry! I avoided dentists for so many years, because it wasn't easy to find providers that agreed with this more holistic and natural approach, so it's great to see it becoming normalized and available. For my gums, I oil pull with sesame, coconut, or wheatgrass a few times per week. I also alternate every couple days, between non toxic floss, and the water flosser (with distilled water and a little baking soda). When I eat fruit, maple syrup, acids, etc, I rinse. It seems to be doing the trick.
Distilled water is devoid of minerals, and so in addition to the baking soda, it would be good to add mineral-rich Celtic Sea salt. There are mineral drops you can also buy, but I think they're more expensive than the Celtic Sea salt.
@cozycoffee3831 Distilled is the best to run through the machine. Easily helped with using spring water to rinse (this is what I do). Drinking distilled water is a different story, but using it for oral care shouldn't be a big deal for most people that eat mineral rich foods.
RDH since 1985, I love the Air Flosser! This has been my main between the teeth cleaner for years, love that you can use many full strength mouthwashes very economically. I tell all my patients I lovingly call it the “man” flosser as it is the only thing my husband will use😊. Less mess, more portable and it doesn’t mess up my counter or mirror. Yes I do floss a little but diet and over good health is what I believe has kept me caries free for over 45 yrs. Oh yes, daily xylitol is also key. Zellie’s are the bomb!
I floss with regular floss before using water floss. Your teeth are so beautiful and so healthy, which I wish for my teeth. Thanks for the great information.
Actually rolling the floss around the major finger instead of the index can make a huge difference in manipulating the floss. Try it! As a ex dental hygienist I’ve seen a lot of patients who didn’t floss because they found it difficult become regular floss users.
I really love the flat wood toothpicks. Their tips splay out with use and so become like little brushes, but, they still have enough structure that I can push my gums with them, which I think increases the blood flow. Whatever it does, it's really addictive, and I'm surprised that more people don't use them.
I’m going to use wheat grass powder in water to swish in my mouth! I’ve heard it is so much better than any kind of flossing. Actually I thought this video would contain at least a mention of it.
Instead of wrapping the floss around your finger, tie the two ends into a circle. This uses less floss and doesn't hurt your fingers. I found the best way is to make a square knot, not a granny knot that doesn't hold. Then fold the string with the knot at the bottom and slip the knot through a loop, open the circle and pull. This makes a second knot that holds the circle tight.
I think I’ll try using the handheld shower wand as a WaterPik to see how that works next time I shower. Seems like that would work nearly as well as the special shower waterPik.
"The ocean is full of plastic floss picks..." Agree about the plastic on the beach. There are lines of plastic of different colors that wash up and it is alarming. Dr.Michelle did not mention fine thin bamboo sticks that they have used in Asia forever. They are sliver thin and easily slide between the teeth. You can get them at 4" and they're strong, you can manipulate them gently around the teeth. Then throw them in the ocean where the salt will desintegrate and compost them. They are as thin as you can get them, like hair thin, almost, and still be bamboo. I follow up flossing with xylitol coating my teeth with it but letting it stay in my mouth at bedtime. My teeth feel better and they've become lighter in color, kind of crystaline looking.
Cavities don’t start at the contact point but right underneath så interdental brushes will prevent caries too. And if a water pick works why are we even using a toothbrush water should work as well on the surfaces as in between the teeth. Is interdental brushes it’s easy and works.
I just checked my floss and it doesn't say if its made of teflon. And I've been getting gum rrsesdion with those tooth floss picks. I didnt realise! I know about teflon being poison. I checked the manufacturer website and nothing said but theyte going on about the floss being unbreakable, smooth and glides well. Ha, this is teflon. Ill look for charcoal bamboo floss. Thank you.
Thank you for all of this information. I really appreciate it. How can I purchase your the bamboo charcoal floss and can you provide a link to the shower water pik please.
@@raypalermo1603 no...lol. No it doesn't. Now, it won't hurt you, but it will provide zero benefit to your gums. It is a complete joke within the (competent) dental community.
@@ShirleyChang-d9h it is a tree root that has many fibers that clean the teeth exquisitely well and has the added benefit of natural anti bacterial properties; it is also 100% compostable (it is literraly a tree stick). There are many scientific studies on this
Yes to water flossing after regular flossing for those of us who have crowns in our mouths. I add H2O2 to my floss water and it has kept my mouth pretty healthy. No sore throats either! Wish there was a Bio-centric dentist in Vermont..
Ellie teaches that if you use xylitol on a regular basis, 5 gr/day you will not need to floss. As xylitol kills the bacteria that causes plaque. I have had excellent results with her system. But, I still floss.
How far up should you go in your gums for flossing ? When I go for teeth cleaning usually my back teeth pockets measure a 4 and they say I need too do better in flossing too remove bacterial that’s up there that’s why my gums are inflamed at times . What is your suggested please
I floss deeper than I used to. I hug the tooth with the floss, slide it up, and wiggle up and down a couple of times. I recommend watching yourself floss your front teeth normally, and then how I said to above. You might be surprised how deep it goes. I definitely was...
I have very tight teeth and flossing is always difficult, painful and bloody. I hate the thought of using plastic floss so bought the silk stuff but it is even more difficult! Any particular recommendations for folks with tight teeth?
I have a question didnt see a place on your website to ask the question. My dentist is a biologic dentist. She wants to take all of my silver fillings out do to vaporized mercury. I understand this part but she said that i needed 3 crowns. I have only had one of the 3 crowns and i wont let her do anymore fillings or crowns until my mouth quits being sensitive. After my crown, i have been sensitive to cold and heat for 4 months now and i dont know what to do about getting the rest of my fillings replace because each time i have had them replaced, t takes forever to get over the pain. Any suggestions? thanks
I am using Dr. Ellie's Complete Mouth Care System. Please, Watch her videos on UA-cam. In 2 months I cure my teeth sensitivity and my tooth ache is gone. I hope you feel better soon. Happy new year 🎈
Isn't there the danger that when using the natural charcoal coated floss some of the particles get stuck inside of the gum pockets and create problems?
I've been using Glide for years, had no idea it was teflon. I won't use teflon pans. I had teeth removed, then braces. Teeth are still tight. Guess I have a small mouth.
Love your videos, Dr.Michelle. I just spent a bunch of money on Tom’s floss that is naturally waxed with beeswax. What are your thoughts on the beeswax? Should I do a return?
I've got crooked teeth because my lower gum is way too small. Sometimes the floss just gets stuck and I've even remains of it inbetween my teeth that are hard to get rid of. My nine-year-old seems to develop the same problem. Her dentist told me that she'll need braces when she's about 12. (But how will they work when there's nowhere they can move?) I heard there were ways to help jaw bone development for more space in the mouth. (For teeth as well as the tongue. We're mouth breathers because of our small jaws.) Is there anything you can reccomend?
Your dentist is conventional, which means they are behind on the times. You and your daughter have overcrowded teeth due to small jaws. Small jaws develop because of inadequate tongue tone, which contributes to mouth breathing. Mouth breathing is a compensation because your nasal airway is not large enough to get oxygen to your brain. Your overall health (brain, heart, nervous system) is negatively impacted. I strongly suggest finding an airway focused dentist. They will talk about expansion for your child (it should done asap because childrens skeletons are still developing and to avoid having to have unnecessary procedures like braces, and stave off a lifetime of harmful health impacts mentioned above. Myofunctional therapy is used in tandem with expansion because it strengthens the muscles of the mouth to achieve proper tongue placement, which is necessary for keeping the teeth and muscles in place and to avoid relapse. Expansion for adults is achievable as well, but may require more involved treatments: i.e. surgery, due to the adult skeleton being fused.
I recently stopped using regular floss after learning g the HORRIFIC ingredients in the floss…who knew it’s floss! Anyways I found this floss from DanTicy or something it’s not waxed and the first time I used it I thought I must have just had more crap in between my teeth but it was really the extra plaque etc that it was taking off…I couldn’t believe it…way cleaner then the dentist ever cleaned my teeth
Might I suggest that you emphasize pushing/pulling the floss from front to back to enter between the teeth. You were using a vertical jerk movement while explaining which is the most likely movement to cut the gums. By moving floss horizontally you have much more control over where it goes and how fast. No?
Interesting about the plastic interdental brushes. Watched it twice still do not understand how ypu are saying to use them. If you dont push between the they teeth what is the point? Just rubbing on the outside does nothing Can you do another video bc it looked like all you did was brush the tooth surface ???
I think you can only use it on teeth that you can get it between at the bottom and gently using a back and forth motion go up as far as you can. Then use floss. Maybe the bamboo charcoal floss would be best.
at 68 years old, I have only flossed about 30 days worth in my entire life and have only lost teeth from cracking them. it is too painful for me to floss and always getting the floss stuck in-between my canine teeth that are jammed next to the other teeth. they would always bleed afterward and it was always just too painful.
i told the dentist i use waterpiks because i have bad dexterity and was injuring my gums with floss, and they said it like this "its better than no floss at all"
@@pjc7351You don’t have to use waxed floss. Also, this snake oil bamboo charcoal isn’t going to absorb anything. I am a dentist. If you don’t want to floss? Cool. Use a waterpik. I have nothing to sell , so take my advice with a grain of salt. 😉

I bet many people do lol, but ofcourse it it only gets the front.
Never thought of flossing in the shower. This will stop wet splatter from flossing landing on the mirror over the bathroom sink like I do.
What a helpful video. I’m checking out the shower flosser, love the idea!
I have a water pick and love it.
My gums were bad until I got a water pick.
I use distilled water with a portable water flosser. Reduces fluoride and chlorine from city water. Kman
Great informative video!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for this valuable piece of information
And should you floss first and then brush teeth, OR first brush teeth and then floss?
Can the pressure from water flossers push the gemlike away and lead to gum recession?
That was my QUESTION ALSO.
