Hey guys! One more thing I wanted to mention. If you have gum recession, it may not be the best idea to try any at home Tooth Whitening kits or Activated Charcoal. The peroxide in whitening solutions can irritate the already thin tissue. Also, Activated Charcoal is an abrasive. So it may not be wise to use if you're worried about recession. Stay healthy everyone!
Hi sir m having wisdom teeth problem m pregnant and i have toothache everynext day i had fillings also but still sometimes my gums are swollen and when i brush my gums bleed
I wish I saw this sooner I’ve been brushing my teeth back and forth really hard with a hard toothbrush for years and my dentist wasn’t nearly as nice 😭
i know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Nice to see a dentist suggesting the up and down motion and not circles as thats how I was always taught. But my dentist always made it seem like receding gums could easily be reversed just by brushing properly. Which makes me feel lied to. Not to mention he would always tell me regardless of how hard I tried that I had to brush better at the gum line. Which made me vigorously brushing my gums much harder than I should have. Now im starting to realize how bad receding gums is and that it cant really be reversed. Which in some ways is a bigger deal than cavities but thats all they ever talk about preventing. I feel like dentists need to be more clear and honest about this.
All the dentists I saw over the years told me gum recession was irreversible. They also told me I was brushing my teeth incorrectly (I was using a manual toothbrush exactly as you have done in this video). What they never picked up on is my years of wearing braces and night guards. So happy I found this video. Thank you!

I wish I took proper care of my oral health. I'm just 24 and I have periodontitis. I might not able to live my life to the fullest with the damaged I have caused myself. But thank you for spreading knowledge. If i had seen this before probably my life would have been different today.
Thank you doctor from bottom of my heart! Even though this media is a neutral medium where anyone can attribute, there are most of people who wants to earn profit with vulgar attraction. It isn't even much different those doctors.. What an honor I can listen to your advice from your long experience in your field with wisdom. Thank you so much for giving this precious advice.
Omg I've been saying since I've gotten my braces off years ago my gums are recideing so bad wow and every dentist always looks at me like I'm crazy thank you so much for saying that
Thank you so for your info. I went to dentist, did scaling and removed the plaque. I'm following these brushing techniques. I can see changes. Hope my gums will become normal.
I realized that when I stand at the sink and brush my teeth I get really intense and brush too hard. Now I walk around while I brush and a hold my tooth brush with my thumb and a couple of fingers and use a very light touch. I'm much gentler when I do that, but just as thorough.
@@bezkaries4964 You can find any brush like that on any brand Just make sure it says ultra soft The brand is the least that matters,I bought mine's at Hurlington a set of six brushes for $6 & they amazingly good ^_^✌
Thank you so much for this very clear and very informative explaining of how to brush … I wish I had known that Long ago but I Will see if I can make positive changes even if I am 79 years 😄
I feel like my gum recession came on all off a sudden. It got me down so much i resorted to oil pulling and visiting a number of different dentists to understand what triggered it. My dentist give me the same advice as in the video. I am extremely happy to say that the recession slowed down once i switched from an electric toothbrush to manual soft brush. Also brushing in the directions as shown.
@@Iamblessed12345 actually i visited the dentist regularly when i noticed the recession, they monitored the recession and confirmed it wasnt a figment of my imagination. It progressed rapidly then stopped once i changed my brushing techniques.
The ad that played for me right before Dr. N's video was a man pushing oral probiotics as a CURE for gum disease, recession and loose teeth due to bone loss.
ive got bad recession from brushing side to side for years i will try this method. ive just had a scale and polish and can see gums improving days later so will incorporate the brushing technique
You are such a great periodontist! I’m currently having gum disease, can’t sleep (it’s 3am where I live) and I’m desperate. I’m 26 years old and I’m dealing with such pain :( I want to go to the dentist, because I just recently found a very good one, but because of this corona virus madness, I don’t know if they’ll take me! I must call first thing in the morning. Thank you so much for this video, sir, I’m gonna be more gentle with my gums and teeth from now on, I promise 😊
For me it was the opposite. I always hated brushing my teeth and that eventually led to my gums receding. Now I have braces and they’re making it worse lmao. I’m not that angry since I kinda deserve it
@@bonecag3 my gums is irritated and receding too since i have braces 5 days ago and i feel like i dont brush that well but i brush 3 times a day + mouthwash too😪
@@afifahraenisha6000 Oof, I hope ur gums get better. Remember that brushing too hard can make them recede, too, so just make sure ur not doing it too hard :)
Dental videos in quite some time and this one just came up on youtube. Ever since I had braces put on and was never able to get them off by a professional since my orthodontist died of a heart attack just 6 months into my treatment plan I was never able to get them off my teeth for 25 years by a professional. So I have a bit of recession especially on my lower right hand side . On the instructions on the Philips Sonicare which I started using in the 80s and have always purchased a new one every 2 years because they usually die exactly at the 2-year Mark and the instructions state that we should move the brush in circular motions. Every time I floss my teeth those that have receding gums are always bleeding. Thank you for this great video. On a side note I feel like I'm looking at a person who looks identical to me what's the exception of the fact that I have long hair. We are probably related at some point down the line if his parents were either from Ujpest or Mezotur. I wish I could get to a dentist as I have been suffering from a toothache for months now.
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing! I am an oral hygiene freak and have OCD about oral health. The more I know, the better I feel. I am switching to an ultra-soft toothbrush.
I have been suffering from depression , severe insomnia and gum disease for fifteen years, and now I have fully recovered. I went to see a doctor in functional medicine or integrated medicine. The doctor suggested me to change my lifestyle and prescribed me a nutritional supplement that can be absorbed instantly in your body． In less than a year, my sleep problem was completely resolved. In the two or three years before this, due to long-term insomnia, my mouth was full of loose teeth, and four teeth were lost in a year. Now my gum disease and teeth problems are also completely resolved.
I wish I knew this sooner, my gums all the sudden got really receded, now I can taste something when I lick the bottom of my teeth and have become sensitive too:(
I have gum disease and my dentist hygienists says although I have great teeth all I can do is floss and come back to back and have my teeth cleaned all over again! Basically there's nothing else I can do to stop it! Yet my teeth has became so sensitive because of pricks and scrapes to clean my teeth!! Question: will oil pulling help to regrow my receding gum?! Thank you for sharing the importance of the proper way to brush our teeth! Be Blessed ❤👍
Kick-in-it, I'm 66 years old and a smoker. Back in my 50's, my gums were receding and I couldn't even drink anything cold or hot. My teeth were separated due to my gums receding. My dentist went to a dentist conference and the new thing was to suggest patients use CoQ10. As a result my gums grew back and I can drink, eat cold stuff again. CoQ10 puts oxygen in your blood and heals it. It did for me. Try it, I buy mind from Costco, the red pills. I didn't like the liquid form. It tasted awful to me. Good luck Kick-in-it

Thanks for responding to my comment and sharing your experience it gives me hope in getting my gums healthy again!! God BLESS you sis!! ❤🙏😇👍
I understand what doc is saying why he recommends a manual toothbrush over an electric one. It’s a lot easier to brush too hard at the gum line when using an electric toothbrush. But there are special instructions that come with your electric toothbrush purchase & it does teach how to brush & how it differs from a manual (at least it does when buying a Sonicare). Admittedly, there is a bit of a learning curve especially if you’ve always only used a manual brush. One thing is to allow the brush to do the work for you. You don’t need to use the same motions as when you brush manually, it’s quite different when using an electric. Brushing your teeth the same way as when you were brushing manually, OF COURSE it’s going to be way too rigorous on the gum line & assist in having receding gums. Admittedly, I’ve been using an “e series” Sonicare toothbrush for about 10-12 yrs now & my overall oral health improved TREMENDOUSLY once I began using it. My gums were no longer inflamed or bled. The vibration of the electric toothbrush does something additional that not many people talk about, it’s a similar outcome to what happens when we massage muscles, it rushes oxygen rich blood to the gums which is always a good thing because it helps in keeping the gums healthy. I also stopped getting cavities too. I remember having to use a manual again once about a yr after I made the switch & I was surprised at how unclean & unfresh my mouth was afterwards! I couldn’t believe how poorly of a job it did, it felt like I hadn’t even brushed at all. But I also remember just how amazingly clean & fresh my mouth felt after the 1st time I ever used my Sonicare too - it was far superior to the manual. But it is just as important not to place too much pressure along the gum line when brushing - that doesn’t change regardless of what type of brush we use. But I suppose it’s an easier mistake to make when using an electric toothbrush. But regardless of what we use, flossing is imperative!
I always hold with my fist lmao. I have gum receding in my 20s because I was poor and didn't have dental and always overbrush my teeth to make sure I still have teeth lol
Thanks for the great tips which I hope to implement the next time I clean my teeth (later today lol). Appreciate it very much and you have a great day too!
I was suffering from receding gums for many months. Recently I tried the following: Mix less than half a tea spoon of BLACK SALT in a glass of warm water and rinse your mouth. I am feeling much better and the sensitivity is on a very low and pain gone. Rinse your mouth 2 or 3 times a day. Use small quantity of Black salt.

Hey Doc, what do you think about mouthwash (with or w/o alcohol) and gum recession? Should we use mouthwash or does it actually cause more damage in the long run?
My cousin used one when she had braces and afterwards and her teeth were amazingly clean and beautiful. I totally believe in them. And he has a video about them too. I just found his site and I like what I am hearing.

So I've been brushing my teeth the wrong way for this whole time 😢 Glad that I watched this video.. ❤️
Bless you. Your no phony, your informative. Thank you so much.
Thank you Judy, that means a lot! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Brushing for 2 minutes (30 secs in each quadrant) will help prevent tooth decay and gum recission, and with an electric toothbrush you can know when your brushing for two minutes because for a timer in side of the toothbrush.

I wish I took proper care of my oral health. I'm just 24 and I have periodontitis. I might not able to live my life to the fullest with the damaged I have caused myself. But thank you for spreading knowledge. If i had seen this before probably my life would have been different today.
Thank you doctor from bottom of my heart! Even though this media is a neutral medium where anyone can attribute, there are most of people who wants to earn profit with vulgar attraction. It isn't even much different those doctors.. What an honor I can listen to your advice from your long experience in your field with wisdom. Thank you so much for giving this precious advice.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate your watching and commenting!
I have seen many videos talking about bacteria all the time, seems like it mainly caused by bacteria, this video given better information.
Omg I've been saying since I've gotten my braces off years ago my gums are recideing so bad wow and every dentist always looks at me like I'm crazy thank you so much for saying that
Monies Girly I share same experience. Hr just confirmed my hunch this started with orthodontics
Had braces at 10, removed at 17, my teeth are still all over the place with receding gums...
Thank you so for your info. I went to dentist, did scaling and removed the plaque. I'm following these brushing techniques. I can see changes. Hope my gums will become normal.
You are so welcome!
I realized that when I stand at the sink and brush my teeth I get really intense and brush too hard. Now I walk around while I brush and a hold my tooth brush with my thumb and a couple of fingers and use a very light touch. I'm much gentler when I do that, but just as thorough.
Very informative! That super soft brush seems interesting. Thanks doc.
You're welcome! Next time you come into the office I'll give you one of the soft brushes.
@@josephrnemeth Can I find this brush anywhere in Europe? What brand it is?
I saw one at Walmart the other day
@@bezkaries4964 You can find any brush like that on any brand Just make sure it says ultra soft The brand is the least that matters,I bought mine's at Hurlington a set of six brushes for $6 & they amazingly good ^_^✌
@PdsWrld What if they say “extra soft” and would it be ok with Colgate and Oral-B?
Thanks Doctor for being very informative.
I'm happy to help!
100 /100 Dr Joseph. God bless your life and effort Amen 🙏 🌹 🌹 🌹
Thanks for great info Doc! I love the way you explain things so simply for us to understand clearly.
Thank you so much for this very clear and very informative explaining of how to brush … I wish I had known that Long ago but I Will see if I can make positive changes even if I am 79 years 😄
I feel like my gum recession came on all off a sudden. It got me down so much i resorted to oil pulling and visiting a number of different dentists to understand what triggered it. My dentist give me the same advice as in the video. I am extremely happy to say that the recession slowed down once i switched from an electric toothbrush to manual soft brush. Also brushing in the directions as shown.
That's great! So glad to see that!
@@Iamblessed12345 actually i visited the dentist regularly when i noticed the recession, they monitored the recession and confirmed it wasnt a figment of my imagination. It progressed rapidly then stopped once i changed my brushing techniques.
@@ssa12654 you have gum disease or just gum recession? Also, did the recession stop?
@@shadanabashir2278 it was gum recession, i switched to a gentle toothbrush and stopped using electric brush.
did the recession restored or just stopped?
The ad that played for me right before Dr. N's video was a man pushing oral probiotics as a CURE for gum disease, recession and loose teeth due to bone loss.
ive got bad recession from brushing side to side for years i will try this method. ive just had a scale and polish and can see gums improving days later so will incorporate the brushing technique
Glad to hear that this helped!
Great video. He seems like a really nice dentist.
Thanks a lot for this. May God pay you back.
No no pay you back is for something bad. You mean may G-d reward him.
i study dentistry and your videos help me a lot
i honestly want to be your student if u ever decided to teach
Thank you! That means the world to me. I am happy to help you out.
You are such a great periodontist! I’m currently having gum disease, can’t sleep (it’s 3am where I live) and I’m desperate. I’m 26 years old and I’m dealing with such pain :( I want to go to the dentist, because I just recently found a very good one, but because of this corona virus madness, I don’t know if they’ll take me! I must call first thing in the morning. Thank you so much for this video, sir, I’m gonna be more gentle with my gums and teeth from now on, I promise 😊
Did you receive help? How are you doing since you made this comment?
Thank you for your clear, concise explanation.
My parents have always told me to not brush so hard and now I’m paying the price
I feel you
For me it was the opposite. I always hated brushing my teeth and that eventually led to my gums receding. Now I have braces and they’re making it worse lmao. I’m not that angry since I kinda deserve it
@@bonecag3 my gums is irritated and receding too since i have braces 5 days ago and i feel like i dont brush that well but i brush 3 times a day + mouthwash too😪
@@afifahraenisha6000
Oof, I hope ur gums get better. Remember that brushing too hard can make them recede, too, so just make sure ur not doing it too hard :)
@@bonecag3 yep thank you😫
Dental videos in quite some time and this one just came up on youtube. Ever since I had braces put on and was never able to get them off by a professional since my orthodontist died of a heart attack just 6 months into my treatment plan I was never able to get them off my teeth for 25 years by a professional. So I have a bit of recession especially on my lower right hand side . On the instructions on the Philips Sonicare which I started using in the 80s and have always purchased a new one every 2 years because they usually die exactly at the 2-year Mark and the instructions state that we should move the brush in circular motions. Every time I floss my teeth those that have receding gums are always bleeding. Thank you for this great video. On a side note I feel like I'm looking at a person who looks identical to me what's the exception of the fact that I have long hair. We are probably related at some point down the line if his parents were either from Ujpest or Mezotur. I wish I could get to a dentist as I have been suffering from a toothache for months now.
What a charismatic doctor! Thanks for the information 👏😊
I use a manual brush same way you telling but still suffering since ages
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing!
I am an oral hygiene freak and have OCD about oral health. The more I know, the better I feel.
I am switching to an ultra-soft toothbrush.
So happy to help! Stay tuned to stay informed.
Thank you Joseph ! Have a great day !
God bless you doctor joseph
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing, Dr Nemeth!
Half the viewers died when he said no vaping no smoking😂😭
I’m half of those viewers 😭, I just learned smoking weed can cause receding gums.
He didn't say anything about alcohol 😬
@@youngog9571
Alcohol it is good but if you have brain and you know how much you can drink
Yeah-
I didn't know it prevent oxygen supply to your gums, not gonna touch one again 😭
I have been suffering from depression , severe insomnia and gum disease for fifteen years, and now I have fully recovered. I went to see a doctor in functional medicine or integrated medicine. The doctor suggested me to change my lifestyle and prescribed me a nutritional supplement that can be absorbed instantly in your body．
In less than a year, my sleep problem was completely resolved. In the two or three years before this, due to long-term insomnia, my mouth was full of loose teeth, and four teeth were lost in a year. Now my gum disease and teeth problems are also completely resolved.
Hello. What was the supplement?
I wish I knew this sooner, my gums all the sudden got really receded, now I can taste something when I lick the bottom of my teeth and have become sensitive too:(
I can't wait to buy my new Colgate manual toothbrush!!
Thank you! I wish you were my dentist.
These videos are so very valuable.
Are retainers ok for the teeth? Great video!
This is very informative and concise! Thank you for this video!
I have gum disease and my dentist hygienists says although I have great teeth all I can do is floss and come back to back and have my teeth cleaned all over again! Basically there's nothing else I can do to stop it! Yet my teeth has became so sensitive because of pricks and scrapes to clean my teeth!! Question: will oil pulling help to regrow my receding gum?! Thank you for sharing the importance of the proper way to brush our teeth! Be Blessed ❤👍
Kick it, my dentist suggested I take CoQ10 vitamin. It does work. Take it daily.
@@lolitacreamer6404 ty for suggesting this product! I'll have to look into it! Is this product available over the counter or no?
Kick-in-it, I'm 66 years old and a smoker. Back in my 50's, my gums were receding and I couldn't even drink anything cold or hot. My teeth were separated due to my gums receding. My dentist went to a dentist conference and the new thing was to suggest patients use CoQ10. As a result my gums grew back and I can drink, eat cold stuff again. CoQ10 puts oxygen in your blood and heals it. It did for me. Try it, I buy mind from Costco, the red pills. I didn't like the liquid form. It tasted awful to me. Good luck Kick-in-it
@@lolitacreamer6404 oh my thank you!! Glad to hear this worked for you! Sounds like the same thing I've been experiencing! I'm 51 and been a cigarette smoker 35yrs!! I dont like 5hose tools they use when cleaning my teeth so I stopped going!! Made my teeth so sensitive when they weren't before!! I'll definitely be trying this product! Thanks for responding to my comment and sharing your experience it gives me hope in getting my gums healthy again!! God BLESS you sis!! ❤🙏😇👍

Wow thank you! Wish my dentist would have told me all of that before I had my braces...
This was definitely needed! Thank you🙏🏼
I understand what doc is saying why he recommends a manual toothbrush over an electric one. It’s a lot easier to brush too hard at the gum line when using an electric toothbrush. But there are special instructions that come with your electric toothbrush purchase & it does teach how to brush & how it differs from a manual (at least it does when buying a Sonicare). Admittedly, there is a bit of a learning curve especially if you’ve always only used a manual brush. One thing is to allow the brush to do the work for you. You don’t need to use the same motions as when you brush manually, it’s quite different when using an electric. Brushing your teeth the same way as when you were brushing manually, OF COURSE it’s going to be way too rigorous on the gum line & assist in having receding gums. Admittedly, I’ve been using an “e series” Sonicare toothbrush for about 10-12 yrs now & my overall oral health improved TREMENDOUSLY once I began using it. My gums were no longer inflamed or bled. The vibration of the electric toothbrush does something additional that not many people talk about, it’s a similar outcome to what happens when we massage muscles, it rushes oxygen rich blood to the gums which is always a good thing because it helps in keeping the gums healthy. I also stopped getting cavities too. I remember having to use a manual again once about a yr after I made the switch & I was surprised at how unclean & unfresh my mouth was afterwards! I couldn’t believe how poorly of a job it did, it felt like I hadn’t even brushed at all. But I also remember just how amazingly clean & fresh my mouth felt after the 1st time I ever used my Sonicare too - it was far superior to the manual. But it is just as important not to place too much pressure along the gum line when brushing - that doesn’t change regardless of what type of brush we use. But I suppose it’s an easier mistake to make when using an electric toothbrush. But regardless of what we use, flossing is imperative!
I always hold with my fist lmao. I have gum receding in my 20s because I was poor and didn't have dental and always overbrush my teeth to make sure I still have teeth lol
I had receding and I'm 13T-T
Same im 19 oh god im scared 😭😭
Hi, Doctor. Why do you recommend cleaning between teeth using interdental stimulators as better than using floss? Thank you.
Thank you for making this very useful video.
So happy to help, Darlene
THANKS. I am now brushing the way you describe. Very helpful.
Thanks for the great tips which I hope to implement the next time I clean my teeth (later today lol). Appreciate it very much and you have a great day too!
Thanks for commenting!
I was suffering from receding gums for many months. Recently I tried the following: Mix less than half a tea spoon of BLACK SALT in a glass of warm water and rinse your mouth. I am feeling much better and the sensitivity is on a very low and pain gone. Rinse your mouth 2 or 3 times a day. Use small quantity of Black salt.
Thank you for the good advice.

Can I just say that this gentleman is extremely charismatic and attractive. I wonder how he looked at his younger years.
Dr Joseph I just brushed my teeth just like u said no bleeding in my gums
Hey Doc, what do you think about mouthwash (with or w/o alcohol) and gum recession? Should we use mouthwash or does it actually cause more damage in the long run?
Good question
Its the alcohol in the mouthwash that irritates tissue and has negative results..mouthwash without alcohol is beneficial
Great dentist !
What do you think about waterpics? I have had gum problems my entire adult life. Thanks.
My cousin used one when she had braces and afterwards and her teeth were amazingly clean and beautiful. I totally believe in them. And he has a video about them too. I just found his site and I like what I am hearing.
What a nice fella, what a wonderful video (aside from the pin thing at the end!) 😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
You remind me of Mr. Rogers. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood , a beautiful day ... would you be my dentist. Would you be my dentist ?
I would love to!
Hey with an Oral b Electric Toothbrush someone could use the sensitive brushing mode. A mode in which the speed of the toothbrush will move more gentle than other modes. And oral b sensitive brush head has extra soft bristles. So together the electric toothbrush will be more gentle.
