I just had my teeth cleaned today. My dental hygienist recommended
I use a WaterPik. She has nothing to gain if I buy a water pik other than her not having to clean my teeth as much every six months. She recommended the water pik , especially for people with crowns as bacteria can hide in there that brushing and even regular flossing cannot get to.
i floss my teeth with string floss, then i use a floss pick to get the upper back teeth because i can’t reach. then i use my water flosser and then brush my teeth. 😅
Platinum standard right there
I do the exact samething. The struggle of having braces 😒😐
I do that, plus I scrape my tongue with the tongue scraper and I use the therabreath mouthwash
@@CarlosSandoval-qw5fq same here but I use antiseptic mouthwash in the morning before brushing and a anticavity mouthwash at night after brushing including floss and water pik floss and toungue scraper..woo!
Lmao! These comments are all trying to one up each other. 😭🤦🏻♀️
Water Flosser Are Best For Teeth When The Flossing With String Can't Get In Between Your Teeth .
Not at all
Informative and straight to the pont, thanks for this video!
Thank you 🎉
I do both I think the water pic actually gets more of the particles out than just flossing alone!
I agree!
If flossing with string is the gold standard, then water flossers really are a waste of money. I get it, it's probably easier and quicker to use a water flosser but I want the thing that's going to do the best job, even if it cost me more time.
water flossing is great for many reasons: cleaning the gum line to the front and back of the tooth, for people with gum diseases, implants, braces or pockets too large/deep where a string floss would just waggle around and many more! The best option in terms of hygiene is a combination of both water and string flossing, but if you really wanna skip one, skip the water flossing.
How about both string floss and water flosser? Checkmate?
the best option
Mouthwash is horrendous for your teeth, gums, natural mouth flora and breath in the long term. Don’t listen to that advice please.
I’m 47 now and have a beautiful set of teeth …at what point will the mouthwash start to become horrendous for me ? I’m still waiting
It works thumbs up
A waterpik did wonders for me. I don't really string floss much, but I dont have tight teeth. Went years between dental visits due to pandemic and my dentist was so surprised when I told her I hadn't had my teeth cleaned in two years. I honestly think she thought I was exaggerating. I would never go without one again.
I bought one today and used it and it just bounced off my teeth and sprayed everywhere and got all over me and it hurt my tongue really had
I don’t see how string floss is gold standard when someone like me can’t get the back teeth only the front.
Great video and you kind of sound like Charlie Day
Well i want to appreciate dr ohanon for the his natural remedies which made me free from bad breath🌺
I prefer to floss in the shower as my gums bleed
if your gums are still bleeding after max 2 weeks of consistently flossing once a day, you need to schedule an appointment! Your gums are bleeding because they're inflamed by the bacteria you're supposed to disrupt when flossing. If that isn't happening you might be using a bad technique, like pushing too hard, or you're very prone to gum disease! Check with your dentist, flossing shouldn't be painful after a while
For the gums bleeding, use an antiseptic mouthwash in the morning before brushing and then wait half an hour, then floss then brush. At night, Use a anticavity mouthwash in the evening after brushing and toungue scrape as well. And avoid alcohol free mouthwashes. Buy therabreath or Act mouthwashes, they are alcohol free. Also schedule a dentist appointment before it reaches the advance stage.
Exactly, not a lot of people are educated when it comes to oral health, and it’s nice of you guys to explain and give advice.
Don’t forget to ensure the toothpaste has fluoride, rinse with mouthwash (anticavity mouthwash) don’t rinse with water. If you rather rinse with water ensure the mouthwash has fluoride..which is good for the prevention of cavities And is alcohol free🙂
@@QuestForGood a lot of people be forgetting that it’s not only the inside of gut matters, it’s also your oral health and it’s not just brushing your teeth and using a mouthwash … it’s also including the different thjngs which makes the difference. I started adding an oral probiotic called oral complete probiotic and it’s heaven sent. 💪🏽
Mouth wash came from floor cleaner for the masses 😂
Flossing is super uncomfortable for me so my dentist suggested a water flosser. Not sure how its supposed to clean your teeth though. I figure it blasts away tge food particles and such but what about the germs? Guess it needs mouthwash for the germs?
It doesn't replace brushing your teeth...
@@tereoki yea, recently learned this. The person who informed me about it made it sound like it would be a replacement but apparently it's not.
@@raventhorX i don't get how if it was suggested as an alternative to flossing? saying that though wouldn't it be the best to only have to do the one thing!
So you gotta do both? Jesus
I need something “more gentle” than Waterpik, any recommendations?
No
I have a waterpik water flosser that has intensity level settings from 1 to 10, and also a massage option. Not sure if most or all have that same range, but if not, you may wanna try one at lowest level like a 1 and see how that is (or maybe you already have and it’s still too much)
Mine stopped charging. Taking the reservoir out rinsing, soaking with white vinegar fixed it. They have a 2 years factory warranty. My hearing aid doctor told me to use this to clear wax from my ear so I could have a valid hearing test. Aimed at the canal not the eardrum
Calm down
40 year old, never got cavities in my life.
Not gingivitis either. Just wash my teeth after waking up, before going to sleep and before leaving home for a meeting or date. Go to the dentist ever 1 or 1.5 years. Why would I waste my time on something that has not any serious medical study?
Long way to go from 40 mate.
Wait so you don’t floss? And you should probably go every 6 months for cleanings if possible. Your teeth are so important to your quality of life as you get older!
@@monicasmm I use a water flosser it's great! Still have to floss a little bit.
Water flossing have shown to be more effective at cleaning. Please look at the studies before spreading misinformation
it’s a dentist bro. also water flosser can’t get in tight apaces
@@good-tn9srword
Water flosser can if you change the tip, also "hes a dentist" is just an appeal to autorithy@@good-tn9sr
@@good-tn9srfloss with a regular floss such as dentik floss or tp floss, they have different sizes for teeth spaces. And also use a water pick floss. Use the regular floss first and then water pik
