Thanks Again. An important video. Most of us are NEVER taught the correct ways to clean & care for our teeth. Those of us who were taught often were taught THE WRONG WAY to do things ( Ugh...! ) You have a GREAT Channel 🙂👍 -70SomethingGuy
You must have done something right if you're 70 with teeth lol, my mom had to get hers taken out at 40 and my grandmas had dentures since she was in her 50s
But hey now it sounds like you'll never need them😂 my mom lost like 30 pounds from having to go liquid diet for a month
I always thought you had to use the saw motion the entire time. No wonder I hated flossing and stopped doing it as a kid. Thank you so much for making this!
This video is worth more than GOLD.
Will pay dividends while watching every morning while flossing.
Every country should aspire to floss each and everyday.
I use to only brush but that 60/40% statistic really blew me away... Definitely going to start flossing now on
Are you doing it now
I did my first floss today...thanks to your video i did it right hopefully
I've said it before, but I'm flossing correctly thanks to your videos 👐🏻 thank you for all the content 😁
I love your videos! I'm studying Dental Hygiene and Therapy here in England and find your videos so helpful. Thank you ❤
thank you so much!!!
I never knew how to floss my teeth before so thank you for teaching me😊
Thanks, I was doing it exactly as you showed in the last 12 years every day and stopped it 99% of the times in the last 4 years since I realised it made gaps between my tooth.
Now I’m using water irrigator and really happy with it so far. Before no matter what, I use to get tooth stains even though I did exactly as my dentist said but now they all shining bright 😊
after hearing from my checkups at the dentist how important flossing is I finally decided to make it a habit because I've just been too lazy haha. I've been using handheld flossers but recently I decided I want to learn how to use "real" floss and this video is so so so helpful. I'm really happy with my journey to improve my oral care
Thank you very much 😊
Can you make a video please, on how to floss when having veneers, I feel it's a little bit different process ( because you need to be more careful with the new teeth- veneers).
and which floosing to tool is better to use?
here's a video of mine that might help (it's for crowns and implant crowns but also works for veneers): ruclips.net/video/W4uGyY2YKos/видео.html :)
@TeethTalk Thank you very very much
This is my first day flossing amd tbf she has helped a tiny bit so far but it is my first day so am sure she will help
Whats the best way to floss for receding gums?
Dude, I went to the dentist last Friday for teeth cleaning and found out there was another area where plaque was building up because I never flossed. It was behind the final tooth in the rear, that you mentioned! It’s a tough spot to brush unless you shift your jaw over left or right.
thanks for all you do!!! these videos are so helpful. I've struggled with my oral hygiene for years and I'm learning so much from these
thank you for watching! you got this! wishing you continued dental health!
I ran out of floss last night! Crazy timing! 😂
;)
I like the black floss, ive only seen white. I like to waterpick first then floss after. Looks like im flossing right as i learnt from your video previously. Yay. Happy tuesday whitney from a cold uk.
Seems like it would make more sense to floss first then waterpik... Kinda in the same way it makes more sense to floss before brushing. Loosen everything up then sweep it away
Daaamn, I never knew you're not suposed to use the sawing motion. I've always hurt my gums while flossing, I thought it was because they were sensitive or something. One question though, how many times should I be flossing daily? Thanks for the video!
at least once each day :)
Me too!!! I’ve been doing it all my life
You're actually a mind reader.
lol!!!
@@TeethTalkbut i cant do that with the teeth in the back
The video I needed for years! Thank youuuuuuu 🥺❤️
Aw man I though I was gonna die cuz I could fit floss in between my gums and my teeth but this is normal thank god for this video
Yoooo Dr Tung’s Smart Floss is where it’s at. That stuff is magic.
How come the up and down -motion don't just push the debriss deeper into the gums ?
here's a video of mine that explains: ruclips.net/video/LbELWANMu7g/видео.html hope this helps!
Thanks for letting me know that i was doing the wrong way. Now i know how to floss properly.
Can you make an updated video on periodontal probing and what diagnosis comes from probing? Also different techniques of how dental professional probes and charts pockets.
here's my Perio probing video -- hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/25XbZz83ytE/видео.html :)
I use floss picks; simple and quick! 😀
here's my floss pick video :) hope this helps -- ruclips.net/video/HmnjzhqA-GU/видео.html
Perfect timing 🙌🏾
I was just watching your videos yesterday lol good timing
is it supposed to hurt? I floss everyday and i never bleed but some of my teeth, especially the molars, get very sore after i go deep into the gum line. Is it possible that im being too aggressive and hurting my teeth more than helping or is it something i shouldnt be worried about?
The sawing motion was one of the reasons I stopped flossing as much too
Love your positivity 😀
Thanks to you, I've just known how to do so
I can safely tell you that myself and others are not properly flossing
Thanks for your video. How do you prevent small
wrinkles formed around the mouth when you use dental floss?
Good and simple video, thank you! Do you have any ideas for flossing an erupted wisdom tooth? One of mine has been like that for years now. Best I can do is use a toothpick and floss!
thank you for watching! here's my flossing alternatives video that should help: ruclips.net/video/0ExqfpbbfnA/видео.html
@@TeethTalk thanx ❣️
My teeth is very delicate so I use a soft brush I have no problem brush this video has help me alot ty
Thanks!
I would love a black floss but I’ve never seen it anywhere
it's BURST floss :) burstoralcare.com and my discount code is VYUADG
@@TeethTalk I live in Denmark and unfortunately I believe Burst products are not available here 🥲 but thanks anyway, I'm sure someone will be happy to use it!
Great I get to much food debris in-between the teeth very often useful way of oral health
Is it a routine for the dental hygienist to floss the teeth in a cleaning appointment? Thank you
yep! here's my video that goes over what to expect at your teeth cleaning appointment, including flossing: ruclips.net/video/QUG2SgdNp1k/видео.html
God, she’s beautiful. She inspires so many men to take care of their oral hygiene 🪥. Thanks Doc!
Just to confirm: Use a new strand of floss for EVERY tooth?
i think you just start at one end of the floss and move along the string for each tooth
Not a new piece of floss, just an untouched strand. Just progress along the length of the floss.
I believe it's clean part of the string
@@noraki3822Ya this way is so much easier than doing her way where she’s wrapping it around both middle fingers.
I just start at one end and go along, I’ve tried wrapping it around both middle fingers and i just can’t do it
Hi
Thank you sweets , you are fun and easy to learn from. I like that pink dental chair too. So girly girl 👧🏻!
🌸👱🏼♀️🌸
Hey Whitney kindly reply . Is it safe to use Lysterine Original ( brown/golden colour) mouthwash with a PFM Crown. Since it contains alcohol so is it safe and doesnt cause any abrasion/harm to PFM crown? Thanks
Should you clean each gap with a different section of floss?
Y I get cavities eventhough I'm not eating sweets and ithey carbonated products 😭😭y I don't understand
Can scrubbing the sides of the teeth with flossing damage or file away the enamel at all? What is the best floss to use for optimum cleaning?
nope -- it's the opposite -- NOT flossing and leaving food debris and plaque on the teeth is what will damage enamel over time. here's my different floss options video --ruclips.net/video/HzuSBPvsMcs/видео.html hope this helps!
Thanks for the video! I have a lot of crowding and braces, i can't get the up and down motion to work since the space is just too tight and seesawing is the only thing that allows me to actually remove the floss without violet movements that I'm afraid would damage my brackets / wires. Any ideas what to do?
here's my "how to floss with braces" video -- hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/RekSVHWo740/видео.html
@@TeethTalk I don't have braces, but do have significant crowding. I'm starting a treatment for it soon, but what to do until then? Is there an alternative technique if there is literally no space between the teeth all the way down, to the seesawing motion is the only thing that works getting the floss down between the teeth, but then the side motion doesn't work, because there is no space for it, the floss is just stuck.
Thank you for this. i was flossing way too hard, which was cutting my gums :^(
I recently had scale and polish and had some tartar build up I had it removed. Dentist told me to buy and electric toothbrush, floss. I went with a water flosser but even on the highest setting I’m getting the outer line of tartar that I had before annoyingly. I’m gonna buy some dental floss and interdental brushes and see if that is any better. So annoying I brush on the highest setting off my electric toothbrush and water floss in the highest setting and use alcohol free mouthwash and still it’s there wtf. I brush and water floss as seen in many videos so I know I’m doing that correctly it’s so frustrating.
PEACE LOVE TEETH 🦷❤️❄️🪥💚🎄
Why nobody talks about how it twists and its so hard to get in between theet
Hi, can we floss a few minutes after brushing? Or does it have to be before brushing?
before or after -- doesn't matter! as long as you're using proper technique :) :) :)
@@TeethTalk Thank you
Hi. would you like to promote the Onosonic toothbrush for us.
I searched this up on her youtube channel 2 days ago wtf
I have a question. Dentists seem to generally recommend interdental brushes, but they don't do all of what flossing does, right?
They get the sides of the teeth where the gap is, likely better than flossing; but the brushes on top of that, also get the contact point between the teeth, and also get up under the gum line.
Are those 2 additional things not all that important? I can't yet find the relevant information on this. The videos I've seen just don't address it.
I see that you do recommend flossing as the primary method, and then if one struggles with that, to then move to another method, so that's making some sense there perhaps..
I’m hoping that I can get on the right track of flossing right away after meals
I love your vedios
Do you need to floss the part of the wisdom tooth where the gum at the back of the jaw meets the wisdom tooth? I always find that super hard tro floss.
yesss! although there is no tooth behind it -- it's still worth flossing! and you can always use a water flosser as well :)
Do gums need to bleed when flossing
if gums are bleeding, then they are unhealthy -- here's my video that explains: ruclips.net/video/FQ6ljYd9o7E/видео.html
Is it ok if i use toothbrush instead of a tongue scraper? Cuz i think toothbrush works better for my tongue compared to a tongue scraper
whatever works for you :) or both! always ask your hygienist what they think is best for your individual mouth :) and here's a video of mine that might help: ruclips.net/video/e6f-ovYmxlk/видео.html
My dentist told me to floss, and I do have a stick floss, I can't use the one with the long string, because I am spastic in my left hand; I can use the floss picks.
I’ve been using the sawing motion and noticed it feels a bit scratchy between two of my mandibular molars when flossing (with the sawing motion) :(, have I hurt the gum area there??? Papilla in that area looks fine and full but still that scratchy sensation. Pls someone give me some insight😭
Very nice teeth
Correct way I have two Cavities starting a routine I’m not drinking sugary drinks it like every night
How do I get the floss between the teeth when two teeth is so close together? I always feel scared I'm gonna get the floss stuck between my teeth.
Do you floss before or after you brush??
I personally brush then floss -- but either way is fine! Here's a video of mine that explains: ruclips.net/video/YimNq630_ks/видео.html :)
My teeth is so closed for that flossing is imposible,what should i do?
Can you do floss dance?
lol I love a floss dance!
I dont want to put fingers in my mouth. Can i use tweezers?
washing hands with soap and water prior to flossing is encouraged :) and if you still are concerned, you can always wear gloves! you can buy dental gloves on amazon!
Hi Whitney, I have been watching so many videos about teeth and oralbiome, am so confused. Dentists talk about the biofilm being important to protect the teeth so when we floss, are we stripping away that healthy biofilm? I do floss very diligently but with all the information or misinformation on YT, it's getting so confusing.
I think what you're referring to is over rinsing with mouthwash or peroxide -- thus killing off both the good and bad bacteria. but for manual removal (such as brushing or flossing... no worries that's not a thing). here's a couple videos of mine that explain more: ruclips.net/video/5aV1EeM9m-A/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/_AfaJf4M6Hg/видео.html hope these help!!!
@@TeethTalk I think it could be so but i am sure someone did say that flossing strips away all the good biofilm but i don't remember who. Just recently, I watched Dr. Mark Burhenne's interview with Dr. Al Danenberg and the latter said xylitol kills biofilm. And I have been chewing xylitol for months now. But thanks for your kind reply, i will definitely watch the two links, I believe i've watched almost all your videos! Thank you for the great resource
Hi
Hy. I follow you on RUclips and recently on spotify
I am on Spotify, also RUclips and recently spoke about mouth care so I shared your link for audience to watch your videos on how to floss. I hope that's alright
I have started flossing and noticing that itself causing gap between the teeth 😭 what to do
Peace love teeth ❤
Hi mam .recently I have done RCT for my second molar in lower jaw.. I have half erupted wishdom tooth . In some videos I have seen we can replace second molar with wisdom tooth through tooth traction . Can it really possible madam.😭😭I just don't want my dead tooth and crown in my mouth they feel so uncomfortable ((sry for my English)). Hope u will rly
All the best dear. I am not a doctor so I can only send you good wishes. ❤ Pray to God that whatever be the best thing for you happens ! Lots of good wishes to you for Healthy Teeth and Gums ❤.
God bless
@@g51661 thank u 🥺
The gloves and the wide open mouth 😋
I have trouble flossing my teeth
It honestly doesn't matter if i watch the video a thousand times. I can't master this technique. Of course it would be easier if i were flossing the same model of a mouth with perfect tooth alignment.
Why do I sometimes bleed in gums while flossing
Of course, I don't know your case. I would have bleeding gums too. The dentist recommended a toothpaste for the gums. I also use a mouthwash for gums. I no longer have bleeding.
Heyy, is post op recovery after having a wisdom tooth out taken out less painful if you're awake for the procedure? And is it less painful if you're only having one taken out? Had a checkup the other day and found out I need one of mine removed 😢😢
Ugh I’m in the same boat. My bottom wisdom teeth have started giving me jaw pain and my dentist said while it’s not an emergency, if it starts bothering me again I should go to an oral surgeon and get it taken out. I’m younger, so they say that the younger you are, the easier recovery is, but I’m still terrified
@@odeleya1768I had it done just last year at 18 years old. I recommend doing it young cause it’ll heal faster and you won’t run the risk of it potentially turning into an impacted wisdom tooth.
I've been wasting so much floss 😭
😍
Why is it so hard and how do you make it look so easy 😭😭
I know right 😂
that's right, right way is very important, or your teeth will be damaged
I have aways used my Index finder mmmmmmm
I don’t think it matters how you hold it
what is wrong with the sawing motion? I use it for the bottom front teeth
But did you know that….
*Christ Jesus* is alive.

Clean your self too bad smile
woman are you a reptilian? I have only 1 middle finger and you asked for 2... I don't have 6 fingers. Do reptiles have 6 fingers anyway? Also I cannot open my mouth like this 1:54.
here's my video showing flossing my own mouth -- hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/WviE5aa5Ha0/видео.html
That looks so painful tho
healthy gums won't hurt!
Your mouth is a lot bigger than mine yet my hands are bigger than yours.
