This is just an anecdote but the water flosser was an absolute game changer for me. I used to have really red and swollen gums all the time that didn't go away by just brushing and flossing twice a day. My gums got significantly healthier in just a few days using my water flosser. My gums also feel so much more comfortable and clean and there's no foul smell between my teeth anymore.
I agree. Oral irrigator and oil pulling have turned my mouth A+. I use a 300 ml handheld rechargeable irrigator from Amazon. Hi an Lo setting. I use the Hi and 3x/day. Dentist isn't vacuuming my wallet these days. 😅
Yessss!! Once you have the perfect routine make it a habit and never skip a night! I know it’s crazy but being subscribed here and seeing your posts on insta help keep me motivated :)
I have 7 implants in my mouth and I get a scale and debridement of each implant as well as gingival irrigation. I'm told many patients think once they get implants, they can do what they want not realizing that they can get boneloss from not plaque build up. After $50,000 worth of work . Of course from insurance. Best to spend the $250 every 6 months.
Nice video. My mom loves using the proxy brushes, I prefer the disposable mini floss picks. Sometimes if I rush flossing my gums will bleed more so my dentist told me don't rush lol.
Just be careful with the water flossers and the pressure at which they pound water onto the teeth at a very close distance. I had a tooth crack as the sustained pressure of the water jet hitting the teeth was actually too strong. Therefore I haven’t used water flossers since but if I were make sure to keep the pressure low.
I can’t use proxy brushes because my teeth are too tight together . Can you please make a video showing how to clean a hand held water flosser? There are only videos showing how to clean the large ones. Thanks!
My Morning Routine- water floss at the gumline front and backs of teeth, 2 min Sonicare toothbrush, 1 min Listerine cool mint mouth rinse, No water rinsing between any steps, No food or drink 30 minutes after the last step. PM routine- String floss all areas especially the back teeth, 2 min Sonicare toothbrush, 1 min Listerine cool mint mouthwash, 1 minute Act Floride mouthwash, No water rinsing between any of the steps, No food or drink 30 minutes after the last step not even water.
Water flossing with a little peroxide in warm water is better than just water. Don't put hot water in the flosser, It will start leaking. Along with this, make sure you get enough vitamin C in your diet.
either order works! and no -- it's the opposite. not flossing puts you at risk for bacteria to get into bloodstream. here's my videos that explain: ruclips.net/video/LbELWANMu7g/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/YimNq630_ks/видео.html hope these help!
The Phillips is 10X the Oral-B because the oral b can sometimes pinch your lips between the head and the shaft. The phillips oscilates the entire shaft.
I had gum disease some years ago and have been visiting my hygienist 4 times a year since, because I'm not going back to that. I have an impeachable oral routine. My hygienist recently told me she will not see me for another 6 months because it is not and has not been clinically necessary for a long time and I'm wasting my money. In the UK it is not typical for hygienists to floss your teeth, but she did. I asked why she was doing it because she'd never done it before?....'because I have to do something to fill the time'! 😂 Ps, @teethtalkgirl has been my corner stone in maintaining good oral health with her advice, tios and information.
@TeethTalk I have been having difficulty finding the Sunstar micro tight proxy brushes. I live in Atlanta, and have not had any luck. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I find the interdental brushes a bit of a scam as they keep bending and becoming useless... I am using a full plastic tepe one at the moment as an alternative, lasts longer.
I just loss one front of mines . I wish someone would of told me to get a check up every 6 months get your teeth clean. In your case, go get a check up right away and if they tell you to get the deep cleaning do it before it's too late
I came from the dentist is it true some people are not prone to cavities my dentist told me since my spit is sticky those are reasons why I don’t get cavities I use to eat terrible and never got them but my sister always did she said I am prone to gum disease if I didnt take care of my teeth I also learn my tonsils/back throat are large they were amazed I don’t know y didn’t get in depth
as long as you follow the directions on keeping it clean -- you're all good! here's how I clean my water flosser: ruclips.net/video/VvPbOUpyi3s/видео.html
can a periodontist or a knowledgeable dentist try to help me-- I have had swollen gums my entire life practically. I am at my wits end, I feel ive tried it all. even down to lasering off the excess tissue-it grew back! WHAT can cause swollen gums that may be overlooked? I have asked multiple dentists and periodontists but none have found an answer for me
😢 I need treatment on decaying top back teeth but I can't because I suffer from severe gag reflex. I can't even manage the smallest slide for side x-ray 😭 I can't do it.
they are okay! I believe it's better to separately floss, then separately water floss to get the best technique. however, for people who are not flossing as it is, it's better than nothing to use the dual! hope this helps!
maybe she prefers you to use interdental brushes? every dental situation is unique and maybe there's something specific she wants you to use for your individual mouth. hope this helps!
@@TeethTalk just started properly flossing my gums absolutely killed first time ha ha but after that I was ok - I can visible see a difference My teeth routine on a nights about 20 mins haha
My dental hygienist filled down and rounded my 2 front teeth without asking I’ve been in bed crying I’ve compared it to before photos I’m severely depressed! They look rounded and fake like veneers Before they were longer than my side teeth but he matched them to my side teeth length I’m crying I’m so sad He had no right to do this without me saying so
@@AmyKaylasVegas I’m not sure what that is in Australia? I will go back to see him but my dad isn’t going to do much and I know for a fact he filled them down and there much thicker now very uncomfortable and shorter than before In very upset
as long as they are soft bristles and have the ADA seal of acceptance, they are safe and effective and won't cause gums to recede. always talk with your dental provider about which toothbrush is best for your individual mouth. hope this helps!
the old type without a pressure sensor made my gums bleed, yeah. But the new ones with sensors are great and I believe the one that I'm using (I use Oral B iO7) is one of the key factors on why I don't have gum disease anymore.
@@paulinak.1736 you have to press quite hard for the pressure sensor to activate. The speed the brush head oscillates makes the gum recede even on the lowest speed.
@@kloppsippingvarsenaltears2789 nope, you don't. The new versions will show you even when you are pressing too gently. I've been using this new generation of electric toothbrush for about a year now, 3-4 times/day. My gums are nice and pink, I never had any bleeding, not even once.

Which water flosser do you use? And what setting? I tried a Waterpik but couldn't go higher than level 5 because it felt like too much pressure.

Taking care of our gums is crucial for our overall oral health. Thanks for sharing!
Yessss!! Once you have the perfect routine make it a habit and never skip a night! I know it’s crazy but being subscribed here and seeing your posts on insta help keep me motivated :)
yesssssssss!!!!! this makes me so happy! we all motivate one another to continue healthy toothy habits :)
I told my hygentist about you. She was amazed how much I learned from watching your channel. She is going to subscribe.
!!!!!! this makes me so happy! thank you so much for watching and recommending!!! wishing you continued dental care!
Could you make a video about gum grafts and how the whole process looks like?
here's my gum graft video -- hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/tF6EgSM5TlA/видео.html
I love your show, my life is actually changing rn
I have a question . Can we drink water right after brushing our teeth ? I also love your videos I have changed so much because of you . Thanks u!!

There is no way a waterpik can crack a tooth.
No way, Dude. A waterpick ain't an outdoor pressure washer.

thank you so much for watching! and I appreciate your support! :) :) :)
I do all of these three times a day. Thanks for the tips!

Can we clean the top of electric brush with hot water and soap. Also you might as well be a dentist. Thanks for your valuable information.
Just got a water flosser,
best investment ever.
I wish i could buy myself the lanap laser for my swolen red gums
Great advices right there!
Is air floss better than water flosser?
Water flossing with a little peroxide in warm water is better than just water. Don't put hot water in the flosser, It will start leaking. Along with this, make sure you get enough vitamin C in your diet.
Should you floss before or after brushing? Does flossing risk pushing bacteria further down the gum line into your bloodstream?
I always rinse with Listerine first before anything for this reason.

I have early itching on top row, it can be reversed in early stage so far.
Love all your videos! See if I’m using a ultra soft toothbrush can I brush slightly harder than if I was using a standard soft bristle one?
I have gum disease and I floss and clean teeth 2 times a day but I am so scared of losing my teeth. How can someone calm me?
I just loss one front of mines . I wish someone would of told me to get a check up every 6 months get your teeth clean. In your case, go get a check up right away and if they tell you to get the deep cleaning do it before it's too late
Yes exactly wish I knew before too properly cleaned at couple times a year I think and don’t scrub them too hard
I came from the dentist is it true some people are not prone to cavities my dentist told me since my spit is sticky those are reasons why I don’t get cavities I use to eat terrible and never got them but my sister always did she said I am prone to gum disease if I didnt take care of my teeth I also learn my tonsils/back throat are large they were amazed I don’t know y didn’t get in depth
Should I worry about the tubes inside a water flosser since replacing the heads is important? I get concerned about the tube inside...
Thank you.

What about if my gum is bleeding due to protruding wisdom tooth?
can a periodontist or a knowledgeable dentist try to help me-- I have had swollen gums my entire life practically. I am at my wits end, I feel ive tried it all. even down to lasering off the excess tissue-it grew back! WHAT can cause swollen gums that may be overlooked?

periogen toothpaste
Hey i have some slight mobility of tip of gums between teeth . It slightly moves when i use toothpick or toothbrush
Do you have to brush as long with an electric toothbrush as you do with a manual toothbrush?
yep! 2 minutes each time!
I grind my teeth at night but I can't sleep with stuff in my mouth
You can manage health & stress to fix that. Caffine is one common root cause for grinding.
I would love to be able to use an electric toothbrush. I can't seem to get passed the vibration on my lips and very sensitive teeth. Any suggestions?
😢 I need treatment on decaying top back teeth but I can't because I suffer from severe gag reflex. I can't even manage the smallest slide for side x-ray 😭 I can't do it.
There are these electric tooth brushes that have the water pick. Do you recommend those?
they are okay! I believe it's better to separately floss, then separately water floss to get the best technique. however, for people who are not flossing as it is, it's better than nothing to use the dual! hope this helps!
I loveeeee my electric toothbrush
I love you Whitney
Confuse! My perio DR. Said dont use water flossers they dont work. What did she mean by that? 🙃
maybe she prefers you to use interdental brushes? every dental situation is unique and maybe there's something specific she wants you to use for your individual mouth. hope this helps!
@@TeethTalk thank you! That makes sense. 🫶
Talk about receding gums
here's my receding gums video -- hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/jAsNJcb4iag/видео.html
Ortho b is better.
I could listen to this lady all day aslong as I could see her 😍
Would you say floss twice? A day
floss at least once! twice is great! always ask your individual dental provider what they feel is best for your personal mouth :)

Can you comment on/help Emma Chamberlain’s receding gums?
