Man, what an excellent, well explained and through video! Seriously, thank you! Growing up, I wasn’t really taught proper dental care, and never really have gone to a dentist. It has left me with a painful, unsightly, smelly, unhealthy, expensive mess of a mouth. Videos like this help me understand not only my own personal care, but my kids, too. I have them brush morning and night, but I was extremely alarmed and upset when my son had 2 cavities… i feel like a damn failure of a parent! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to make such an excellent video, that helps me understand what i need to be doing. My teeth may be too far gone at this point, but I can not have my kids teeth ending up like mine. Youre a god send sir!
Why am I learning how to floss in detail at 31? Why is this not in elementary school? I LOVE THIS.I was always worried about hurting the gums between my teeth .....😢
It actually WAS taught in elementary school in the early 80s (in my city: county)The school nurse even brought in mouth wash after lunch to promote oral health and we were given pamphlets to take home to share with our parents.
@@Ronin_Noir you just unlocked a horrible child memory 😂 I used to hate that in school cause the mouth wash they gave us was disgusting, I had to run to the toilet a couple times to puke, and once I started laughing for some reason and I spat it all over my table 😂 damn that memory was long buried 😂😂😂😂
I didn't even know about floss until I was 15! As kids, we never were taken to the dentist unless we were having pain. I never had any cavities, so I think maybe the first time I may have gone to the dentist, out of country, because of expense, was to get braces at 12. As a child, I hardly ever ate sweets, so guessing that was a good thing for my teeth.
Wow I just found your channel because I always wanted to try a water pick so that's what I looked up, ended up learning a lot about dental hygiene (Even though they taught us a lot in school, you've made it very simple and informative) I'm going to get the dental Ezzi floss for me and my boyfriend instead! I'm so excited!
I just found your RUclips channel and I'm pretty surprised that I do a couple of things that you showed in this video, even though others have told me not to do that. Mainly, I move the electric toothbrush while brushing, I find it does make them feel a lot cleaner then just resting it on the teeth. Secondly, I have had times where I flossed before brushing. Seeing this video now, I'm going to start doing that all the time now. Thanks for the dental tips!
Lol that explanation on shuger make sense, am 43 years old and stopd brashing my Teath daily at about 10, been brushing them only when I got bad taste in my mouth for years witch usde to be 3-4 times a year, ate almost no shuger and small amounts of carbs, started to ride mtb and drinking alot of isotonic with tuns of shuger and since then I need to brush daly almost and got my first cavity 3 munths ego 😢
Thanks for this video, doctor! I didn’t realize how important a good quality floss is, as I’ve been using the cheapest floss I can find. I really struggle to get to the very back top teeth. Do you have any suggestions for that? Also, do you have to floss the back of the very very back tooth?
Nice! This kind of electric toothbrush head style is just what I've been looking for, so thanks! I looked into Burst, but it seems like people are unhappy with their new models/ longevity. I've tried many Oralb & Sonicare brushes over the years, & never was completely happy. And I just don't understand the brush heads being mostly medium. Not happy about how they cleaned either. So I ordered this Ezzi & am trying it out. It really does seen to clean way better than anything I've ever tried. Still getting used to brushing very lightly & using small movements. So far, I'm loving it! I had to laugh at the LEGO analogy. Oh you'd better make sure to have your kids pick them all up before bed, or you will painfully be stepping on them in the middle of the night!!!
I can't find where to buy that toothbrush in europe, so I would apreciate if you could recommend me some other options from brands that are more recognized, so I can buy them. Thank you very much doc.
Flossing was always such a messy, wet hassle, until I started using floss picks. Even if they don’t clean as well, I’m never going back, they are so much neater, and more convenient, portable, and just mindless. You can do it while texting, talking, or anything else. I’m never going back to be honest
My morning regimen: floss with water pick (add 1/2 fluoride mouthwash) then brush. My evening regimen: floss with water pick (1/2 mouthwash, sometimes all mouthwash), interdental brush, regular brush, floss while toothpaste residue is still in mouth to introduce toothpaste under gum line. After I used this, my orthodontist praised me on how well I maintained my oral hygiene.
Hi I’ve been following you for a while. I had an appointment yesterday and had TWO cavities. It was very disappointing because I brush twice a day, do intermittent fasting, I don’t eat a lot of sweets and I also try to floss every single night. I even switched to sensodine since you said it’s a gentle toothpaste. I don’t get it. My teeth are white, straight and look very nice. I didn’t have any plaque. But two cavities jeez. I don’t know if it’s because I had 3 back to back pregnancies and breastfeeding maybe it weakened my teeth? My dentist recommended “act” mouth wash. What do you think?? I do drink a ton of plain seltzer water and sparkling water every single day. Maybe that’s it?
It's not what you use. It's how you use it. If you are bushing your teeth poorly twice a day (duration, brush angle, agitation), it won't matter. You can floss daily, but if you are not getting deep in between your teeth, you are wasting your time. Teeth and diet are different for everybody though. Mouthwash and/or a prescribed floride addition to your toothpaste could benefit if your dentist says so. A good dentist knows how to spot weak areas or where cavities could be forming and take preventative measures before it gets worse.
Also the seltzer and sparkling water can totally be a factor, since altough very little they still contain carbonic acid! Of course your situation most likely came about due to a variety of factors, not just a specific one! 🙂
At the suggestion of my dentist, I tried that “spit-don’t-rinse” technique and returned to my dentist in several months to show her the result. My tongue had turned brown and coated - scary disgusting! I now brush and use a fluoride rinse, and tongue is pink once again..
@@BaselineDental Yes, I was an ortho assistant for about 7 years. I just get curious when someone in the dental field hasn't wanted to correct their bite. I know straight teeth are by no means healthy teeth. By the way thanks for the video.👍
No. It's not. In all, it's not that much different from just using water. Wheter you hate fluoride or only use all natural products, there is no denying that some products, such as toothpaste, have no alternative. You can go your life without using fluoride, but it can save you a lot of time, money, and pain if you do.
@@lordofentropy Can't deal with it either. Actually good dentist advised the small plastic holders with floss and I had stand them long enough to use though!
@@spiderlily723 That's good you found something! I used those little plastic bow things for a bit too, but I found myself fighting with them a lot in certain spots. Water flosser changed everything for me, I floss more frequently and take over better care of my teeth now.
@@BaselineDental ok interesting, iv heard too soft can cause gum issues. and if you have beginning issues, minor issues as many many people have, I heard soft are bad as well? im just asking I know nothing.
The discovery of fluoride's effect on enamel and its addition to water supplies and oral care products is one of the greatest public health achievements in humanity's history.
@@lordofentropy you taking about negative effects right? As there is no positive effect to using a poison when it does More Harm then Good. But it’s all about the 💵
You don't wash a dog before he goes to rols in the mud. So I believe that finishig eating and drinking should be the first step because it's silly to clean your teeth and then immediately soil them.

Because your parents should have taught you this years earlier? WTF.

Love IT! Never thought the flossing should be the first step, thx.
Ordered the red tablets, gonna keep my hygienist honest now! How do you really know if they did a good job?
Im impressed how you kept that mouth piece in and didn't drool lol
I just went and used your tips now. My mouth feels super clean😁. Thanks 😊

Can u do a video about getting rid of oral thrush and brushing your tounge
That all gung between tooth. Is that from the coloring thing, or is that your food and stuff? Because I do not have so much stuff between there?
Hi doc! Can i use this brush with braces? Should i change the brush head more often becouse of braces? Thanks for advice.
Which Chanel is the intermittent fasting video? Loved this video, it was very informative ☺️
My personal channel called Rick Buck
I love syrup what if it has 50% sugar and 50%. xylitol. Would the xylitol counteract the sugar in terms of acidity and building plaque?
Hi! I have bone loss in my jaw. What is the best treatment for it and how do I stop bone loss from spreading?

Took one for the team not brushing for two days
Will brushing like that cause receding gums?
Shouldn’t you use circle motions not scrubbing back and forth?
Definitely not back and forth. Circles or at least up and down.
I use a manual toothbrush, butler gum floss and use a sulca brush. Costs less, works as well. takes a little more time and skill.
Nice! This kind of electric toothbrush head style is just what I've been looking for, so thanks!

Never knew this but makes sense. Thanks for sharing 😀
Do you still recommend this way of brushing for someone with gum recession? (From over brushing)
Can you recommend products that are good enough from global brands. Unfortunately, ezzi is not available in the European state I am in.
Can you please make video on oral probiotics, like BLIS M18 or K12?
I can't find where to buy that toothbrush in europe, so I would apreciate if you could recommend me some other options from brands that are more recognized, so I can buy them. Thank you very much doc.
Philips Sonicare. Can be bought all over Europe.
Sonicare
❤makes a lot of sense!!!
is mouthwash needed? Necessary?
Thank you sooo much!
You didnt mention mouthwash. Should we add it to our routine or not necessary?
What about mouth wash?
Seems like everyone is 0ut of Stock (Gum Red-Cote). Any idea of where I can buy?
Ever heard of nano hydroxyapatite?

How long should you wait after eating to brush and floss?
Great, never knew I should floss first ❤❤❤

Floss twice a day with brushing? I only floss once?
You’re the best thanks 🙏
Thank you.
Does the plaque dye stain implants?
I need an answer to what im gonna say i always floss in a zig zag motion should i continue like this ir do it how he did it in the vid?
My question is where he got that pizza from. That looked good lol
sacrificing brushing for 2 days is actually so nice of you
Thank you

could be vitamin d deficiency , also pregnancy is definitely a factor! some people break their teeth after pregnancy 😅

Have you tried oil pulling?
Dry mouth and grinding your teeth can also cause cavities and gum recession 😢
Veneers or crowns on 6 through 11, maybe 5 and 12, too. Did you get a discount for being a dentist?
Hahaha... crowns on 8 and 9. That's it.
Lol nice try though 😂
I floss, use a water pick, brush, then rinse with mouth wash.
I’m sorry but what the pink pill that the uses?
The pink tablets/pills are called disclosing tablets. HTH
And what about a mouthwash?
Is EZZI floss PFAS free?
Yes
@@BaselineDental Thank you for responding! Could you please provide a reference on their website? 🙏🏻
No mouthwash?
When watching tooth brushing videos, they always say to hold the brush lightly, but it looks like you are holding the brush very tightly. Are you?
I brush after meals. does bad sugars matter at that point?
Two days without brushing? 😮
At the suggestion of my dentist, I tried that “spit-don’t-rinse” technique and returned to my dentist in several months to show her the result. My tongue had turned brown and coated - scary disgusting! I now brush and use a fluoride rinse, and tongue is pink once again..
its also your eating habits
need a tongue scraper
Did you not look at your tongue?
Spit and don’t rinse leaves bits in my mouth. It feels gross.
What is “spit don’t rinse”
Omg you have perfect teeth! Let’s switch mouths!!
I mean you should've chewed a tab after you brushed to compare to the prior
Are you also the owner of Ezzi?
Humm, no mention of antiseptic mouthwash.
Can I ask why you haven't had your bite corrected?
Are you talking about my posterior crossbite. I havent really had a reason to.
@@BaselineDental Yes, I was an ortho assistant for about 7 years. I just get curious when someone in the dental field hasn't wanted to correct their bite.
