Dr. Nemeth WARNS Against Using FLOSS Brands With “Forever Chemicals” PFAS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2024
- Certain brands of dental floss have been found to have high concentration of #pfas , a chemical found in non-stick cookware, pesticides, paint and cleaning products.
33% of dental floss products tested had indications of PFAS “forever chemicals,” while 67% of products did not. In other words, 13 out of 39 products had indications of PFAS.
No tested tooth floss marketed to children had any indications of PFAS “forever chemicals.”
It may be wise to consider switching dental flosses to one of the ones recommended below.

Shoot and I just ordered a 3 pack. I wish our FDA would now mandate these products be taken off the shelves
I bought once a fabric softener for washing machine , and after that I went on UA-cam just to discover that it clogs your washing machine and prevents clothes or towels to absorb water .
FDA hates us
too bad they wont because industries greed is what actually controls our country
I already knew this. When I bought my kids floss...and they had sweet candy on it. Like...what?! To purposely leave candy inside their gums?! Smh. Everything on this planet is corrupt af!.
Wow this really hurts. The dental office gave me Oral-b Pro Health Pro Sante. Wow, life sure can be cruel! I will pass it on to Friends and Family members
As a chemical engineer, thank you for sharing this information.
Thanks for watching!
@@josephrnemeth Hello Doc. I'm From Bangladesh. I'm 22 year old. I'm female person. I'm watching your help Video. What do u live ans me pls i Wanna come ur Chamber. 🥰 but now u can help me
I am facing some trouble frequently within every month . The trouble is, whenever I try to eat something solid, blood comes out of my gums and the gums begin to swell up which results in too much pain in my teeth. Though I have already consulted with a local doctor several times regarding this and he also suggested me some medicines like Doxicap Capsule ( 100 MG) along with a mouthwash named viodin 1 GM / 100 ML and a toothpaste called Parodontax, but unfortunately I can't find any such solution, can you help to get rid of this issue sir?
I will be really greatful.
Thank you for this information. I'm aware of the danger this chemical can pose to health which is why I avoid nonstick cookware but had no idea it was in dental floss.
You ever think you’re doing something good for yourself only to find out you’ve been doing irreparable damage instead?
as an american, it happens daily… but on the bright side… its a good thing we are aware now! and we can rectify the situation for ourselves and our families…
Having tight teeth, Oral-B was one of the very few that I found easy to use. Now I know why. Time to find a different brand.
did you find a good replacement brand?
We really appreciate this information. I would have never thought chemicals in dental floss. I’m in Michigan and need to become a new patient.
Nooooo I use that Glide Pro Health mint 😭 guess I’ll go back to using my Reach floss
Thank you so much for sharing this Dr. Nemeth - very good to be aware.
Thank you so much for including the list of non chemically treated floss. Will take it when I go shopping. Grateful for your channel.
Thank you so much! So important to know this. All the best!
Thank you for this information
Thanks for this information!
Dr. Nemeth You are so helpful. I used the glide deep cleaning floss. I was planning to buy some but now I want. Thank you
Thank you so much for your contribution to our health.
Thank you for this valuable information, Doctor Nemeth.
Thank you so much, Dr.Joseph.
Thank you for the information.
Very informative. Thank you for the video.
Thank you Doc.
Never knew about this you are the man Dr.
Thank you Doc..I will consider changing our floss n cooking ware
Always good to know. The more of these chemicals that one can avoid the better.
thank you for sharing this helpful information.
Thank you doctor, from Hungary!
Thank you for this information! Thankfully I just purchased some that was on the safe list.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You !!
Very good info thanks for sharing it 🙏
I just ran to the store and found Cocofloss Mint. Thank you!!!🤩
Thanku so much Dr. N ❤
Thanks Doc!
OMG Thank you!
Please review silk and bamboo flosses... plain and charcoal infused. Thank you!
Wow, this is very informative. I am taking more of my teeth than ever. Good to know.
Thank you!
Thank you.
Thanks 😊
it goes on and on and on......
Just bought a new pack of Oral B Glide Mint 45min ago! And now this video...
This is the brand of flossing that I like the best because I feel is is easier to insert between my teeth but I do think it is important to stop using it because the PFAS chemical sounds really bad.
I really enjoyed your video. Could you please tell me which CVS dental floss and CVS dental tape has no PFAS or Teflon in it. I think one site said CVS dental floss does have PFAS in it, but I may be mistaken. Thank you again so much.
Just great...Glide floss is the only one my dentist and I have found that will actually go between my teeth. All others will go in between but break off leaving floss in between my tightly jammed together teeth and has to be dug out by my dentist which takes about 40 minutes on average.
Try superfloss and thread it between the teeth. No need to pull it through the contact
Thank you Dr, I. Just bought a pack of 6 of glide 😡
Qual o senhor indica dr?
Too bad that all the non-PFAS flosses I have tried get stuck and shredded between my teeth, making them virtually useless. It would really help if someone could identify non-PFAS flosses that don’t get stuck and shredded.
Should be illegal to produce
Good to know. Might I recommend that in your video description you list the safe ones first. As it stands, you write, "It may be wise to consider switching dental flosses to one of the ones recommended below," and then list the ones WITH harmful chemicals first. I initially read the sentence and just scanned the list to see if my brand was on there; it took a second read to notice those were actually the bad ones.
Why can't I find a list of chemicals used on the packaging or on the company website😮
I use some unconventional tools for teeth care. I use my technical graphite mine pencil to remove teeth stone. This pencil has a small hard steel pipe with 0.5 mm inner diameter for the drawing stick. Pushing the graphit stick back the pipe is an ideal tool to clean the teeth from hard dirts. And I have made a tool with an 0.4 mm hart steel wire to clean the dentil approximal spaces, typical done with floss. With this wire I can remove plaque and hard dirt from upper root area. It sound dangerous. But I do not injure the gums. Works fairly nice and costs nearly nothing.
does the wax residue stay behind?
Oh no!
I wish I had known
I used to use Reach Dental Tape until it became too expensive for me. Now I use a generic brand dental tape, which works just as well. I'll see whether my current product is free of PFAS.
I use mostly Reach, thank god that's one of the OK once...but I Also use the unflavored Tom's floss, do you know if that one is ok?
Sir ,when tooth regeneration treatment come in India ?
I would double check the ones he says are non pfa, wax, etc.
Thank you for your information regarding these dangerous chemical to our health. We has had using these poison. Doctor I had a problem with tooth that is pain and can not sleep. I use a denture close to tooth but no always. My dentist told because I do not tooth near the upper tooth hurt it like hammer. Doctor I hope that your understand my writing my grammar is horrible because English is not my language. Thanks and God bless.
Wow 😳😬🤯 🚨 Dr. Nemeth You Could Have Made ALOT Of Money 💲💰💵💵 🤑 Endorsing These Cancer Causing Products🚧 However You CHOSE The Honest Path 💭🤔⚖️ Health Is Wealth 🤑💚 Thank You So Much 💚
XD
I don't use glide anymore
So then what kind of floss do I use that I can buy in bulk? Sam’s has the oral b in the big pack.
Hello, Please is PTFE as dangerous?
Your video on safe dental floss was great. Could you please tell me if reach dental floss has any PTFE as well as PFAS in it? I read somewhere on the Internet that it does have PTFE. I don’t know whether to buy it or not. Could you please help me with this. thank you so much. Peter.
Is that idk why companies keep making stuff for human beings that isn’t safe for us is this how they make they’re money and dentist workers so then we give money to the hospital cuz of our complications that we’re having buying things that we think is safe smh 😢🤦🏻♀️ this is how this world goes round 😒
This guy looks like a bobble head doll I have in my car...lol
I just want to ask if Colgate Total Dental Floss Mint Waxed safe to use? I’ve researched that it has PTFE/PFAs but the other article says it doesn’t have.
actually it is everywhere - mascara , yoga pants etc...
iir it's dangerous only when it's subjected to extreme heat
and that's for ptfe
What about Den Tek floss sticks??
Can we sue?
So shoving a toxic chemical beneath your gum line might not be a great idea.
This guy looks and sounds like Christopher walkens.
Lol, I know.
sir is it possible to regrow teeth in next 10 years?
Is it "waxed" dental floss that primarily have PFAs? How would you check on that PFA on dental floss? Is it on the box?
you explained the shit outta them flosses yo
Thank you and my mouth is in bad shape I’ve lost some bone in my gums under my front bottom teeth I can now fit my pinkie between my gums now and my teeth and gums don’t have holes between the teeth it’s just under the teeth that’s messed up at the bottom and my 2 top mid teeth aren’t in good shape my top front teeth shifted and if I don’t find out what’s going on I feel like it’s only a matter of time till I lose bottom middle teeth and top 2 mid teeth what do I need to do
Look into getting LANAP! Theres a chance you could save those teeth and grow the bone back.
Why FDA is sitting duck??????? When will they ban this ???
What about Oral-B Essentialfloss?
I'm thinking if they have the stuff in one product, and no warning, there is no sense in trusting them further. Your health shouldn't be an option, Lol.
that Oral-B glide is straight trash anyway. did absolutely nothing to get anything out between my teeth lol throwing the rest out now
Would switching to unwaxed floss solve the problem?
I'm moving onto silk and bamboo flosses.
@@Lili-xq9sn Any recommendations?
I also am look to buy a water flosser. They say it's the best tool in removing food particles.
@@MyFatherIsTryingToKillMe he did a video on water picks maybe a month ago, they are not best for some people.
@@MyFatherIsTryingToKillMe Simple answer, water flosses are not a complete replacement for flossing
I was glad my bad breath problem has come to an end after 7 years of suffering with this problem seeking help from one place to another, i was able to get rid of it with the supplement i got from Dr.Obaedo on UA-cam am so happy sharing this here.
Win for non flossers 😅🤣
😴 p̷r̷o̷m̷o̷s̷m̷
Yes that is true, but the chemical is really small amount. Most of the time it is rinse out, diluted and that small amount has no affect on our health.
Just like the MERCURY fillings eh?!
@@womanofgod568 bulshit.
No more stinky breath❣️.
I completely cured my chronic bad breath problem with effective herbal supplements and diet tips of #DRUWENBOHERBALHOME youtube channel...😂❤
