I waited nearly ten years to get my braces and now that I have them, I've noticed that I'm smiling a lot more. Your smile really does impact your confidence, especially when you're so focused on beauty standards. :/
i’ve been trying to get braces for nearly 6 years now. ive been to countless appointments and the public dental hospital said i need a jaw reconstruction surgery. i’m so scared. i don’t want the surgery, only the braces. i’ve done research and it’s said to get braces BEFORE surgery, but i only want the braces, no surgery. ugh, i’m so close to giving up.
@@mia-nj9rz you might want to get the surgery first and then the braces. Braces affect the jaws as well and make them symmetrical. Right now, I’m currently fixing an over bite and trying to fix my lower and upper jaw into place due to my face being a tad asymmetrical(you can’t notice until I smile widely) it will really help. Do what you can for your teeth💖💖💖
I’m 15 and I’ve had my braces for seven months probably? And I’m genetically missing two and I have to get implants 😀 Can’t wait to get them off but also I’m so scared of getting drugged and saying something dumb
The dentist of the woman who glued her tooth back in was so nice. She kept a straight face and was never harsh even though it's a serious problem. There was something really nice about how she spoke to her and didn't wanna make her more uncomfortable.
@@EM-kn9im I’m in the US so if we get a dentist with “bad chair manners” then we can just find another. I don’t know if it’s that way in the UK but I certainly would not tolerate a dentist being rude or treating someone with disdain! There’s just no excuse for bad behavior towards patients.
How did that guy not have a heart attack (several times over!)? 24 energy drinks a day?! MASSIVELY scary! I’ve been guilty of drinking them too....that and caffeine. But I can’t even imagine consuming that much caffeine in a day!
I was thinking diabetes but I forgot about heart attacks! I remember watching a video of a guy from Australia (I think) who drank coke/Pepsi for years!! And his teeth were dead!
As someone who went almost 20 years before going to the dentist as an adult, I had to go through this myself. Its had and the fear is real. I had 4 extractions 6 fillings and a root canal with a crown lengthening surgery and 2 crowns. But its not the end of the world, its the beginning.
@@letsgoalready5515 Not sure if u know, but they make different kinds of floss to get into different areas of your mouth. You can use straight floss wrapped around your fingers, or u can use a pic. For those unfamiliar, it's floss attached to little plastic pics. They look like little hand saws or a "C" Clamp! 😂 Not sure where u live either. I'm in US and Wal-Mart or Dollar Tree (and probably any drugstore) sells them by the bag. I'm currently having similar dental problems and I floss every single day (probably several times). The brand I'm using is called "Plackers" and it's very easy to get into back teeth w/them. Also, to brush around back teeth, only use soft/med bristled toothbrush. Buy one w/longer bristles at head/top of toothbrush. This helps it get into/around back teeth specifically. Glad you're getting tended to and hope this helps u find something that works for u. Good Luck. 😊 ✌🏼
Ppl have made jokes on/of those w/ jacked or missing grills for...Idk, probs ever, but definitely for many, many yrs. However nowadays, when everything about a person is based on looks, losing your teeth can cause extreme anxiety & depression. It can be so incredibly debilitating,
When i was a kid i was lazy about brushing my teeth and i scared to death about going to the dentist. So now at 20 years old i have a filling in every single tooth in my mouth and i had to have a adult tooth pulled out because it was so rotten so people please take care of your teeth🙏
@@kaspervestergaard2383 no it isn’t. What good does it do to judge someone for something that’s already been done? People don’t need to be disrespected and it’s gross you think they do.
@@kaspervestergaard2383 no my dentist spoke another language and I speak that language they would speak to me in English and then talk to each other and call me names and say stuff (they didn’t know I spoke Spanish/Portuguese)
His heart liver and kidneys would be done. His teeth would be the least of his problems. I have drank energy drinks for a long time but like 2-3 a day. Luckily I started drinking sugar free ones a while ago. Plus I floss brush and use mouthwash so my teeth aren't rotted. But my kidneys and liver aren't 100% that's for sure.
It's always so nice to see these patients realize that it's not supposed to hurt when you go to the dentist. Other than the first needle with anesthesia and having to keep your mouth open for a long time, it feels great getting your teeth fixed and having any previous aches you may have felt go away.
I know exactly how she feels and how the young man feels. Lost all of my teeth at the age of 28. It was heartbreaking. I was embarrassed and disgusted with myself and was also afraid of dentures.I caused this. I am now 29 and have had dentures for 6 months now and I am so happy with how beautiful and real they look.
My grandma lost all her teeth at a young age too (early 20's!) and she's 90 now and her teeth look very natural and she doesn't seem to have any pain or issues with them. I don't know if she has dentures or an implant, but whatever they are, they're working for her!
@@kwiin2022 genetics are huge when it comes to the health of your teeth. i happen to be extremely lucky and i naturally have incredibly healthy and white teeth, but there’s people who do much better dental care than i do and have it worse. if your parents have a history of this, and lose their teeth at a certain age, you’re very likely to experience the same thing. dental care only slows that process slightly, it’s inevitable.
I struggle heavily with depression, and the first thing to go for me when I lack on caring for myself is brushing my teeth. I once went to a dentist and told them and they kinda sneered at me and told me to try floss picks. It scared me from going back to the dentist for a year, but I went back last week and my hygienist was the kindest woman, who also struggled with mental health and understood my issues. I promise it’s okay. You just have to take that first step and find an understanding dental office. Taking care of your teeth helps you take care of the rest of your body. There are even apps that make brushing enjoyable instead of a chore! You can do this!
I'm a dental hygienist (20 years) and I have struggled with my own mental health. We "dental people" are humans, too! Unfortunately, patients are right, and there can be judgement in some offices, and patients can feel it (I've worked in offices like this and it was NOT for me). I would tell anyone feeling judged to leave and find a different office. The right office is one where you're treated with compassion. It might take some time to find your "dental home", but I promise it's worth it. When you finally get the courage to walk through the door, we're really glad to see you! And we just want to help. The first step is the hardest. I'm so glad to see you're doing better, OP, and that you found an office to take good care of you.
Yeah, my severe depression stops me from caring about myself & meditation can cause a big issues. I always looked after my teeth as kid, teen & young adult. My smile was beautiful & lit up the room. But since I got to 38, living in a toxic, abusive situation, I just have stopped caring completely. I’m too ashamed to even leave the house with the state of my teeth now. At 41, it feels like my life is over.
@@kr0wn.aSSaSSinI'm sorry you're in a tough situation. Use this to empower and educate yourself. Peroxide can be used to rinse your teeth. You don't want any kind of mouth infection. If severe and left untreated it can spread to the brain and other organs. Ask for the gas you won't care what they're doing because you won't feel pain and may get the giggles. Best of luck and never let your fear prevail and stop you from getting help. Peace ✌️
I feel so grateful that I'm one of those that actually enjoy going to the dentist. How clean and fresh you feel afterwards and it's like going to a spa for me, very relaxing.
I'm a nervous patient because my childhood dentist filled deep cavities with no numbing at all. But I go. Every six months. My teeth are definitely not American white, but they are mine.
Thousands of dollars for my dentist in America to pull out my wisdom teeth with pliers. He broke a neighbouring tooth in half in the process, and charged more to fix it... In Taiwan, my dentist performs a root canal for just $6 USD and pulls a tooth for the same price while not breaking any neighbouring teeth lol
@@CaptainsMorning , Since your dentist broke your tooth then he should have fixed it for free. That's absolutely ridiculous. Sorry that happened to you.
@@Suzanimal_316 should have, but didn't. Because of him, I'll never trust an American dentist. Too risky in my mind. Every single Taiwanese dentist I've ever had has even made a root canal seem like a spa day. They use little tricks such as massaging the area with their mirror while inserting the needle to inject numbing agents, etc. They've all been so kind and honest, never do anything that doesn't need to be done. Healthcare is the reason I'll die of sweating to death in Taiwan before ever even dreaming of moving back to the States. ... Sorry to any dentists in America who are actually honest and good to their patients, I do know they exist! I'm just not willing to take chances.
okay let's drop the stigma that dentures are "only for old people". it's simple thoughts like that that can stop people in the younger gen wanting to fix their teeth out of fear of "looking old", but it's definitely worth getting your teeth pulled out if it means you won't have any health complications later on in life because you delayed getting treatment. don't be afraid to get your teeth fixed if you can afford it! even if you have to travel somewhere else, do it! take the opportunity! your mouth will thank you. I wanted to add: I've heard complications can include anything from mouth infections; impacted teeth; to even worse cases such as heart disease and alzheimer's...so please, take care of yourselves as soon as y'all possibly can!!!
I had my teeth pulled at 28. After a decade of root canals, caps, fillings, extractions...I gave up. They just got worse and worse and the pain was agonizing. I got removable dentures and I'm SO happy. I do not regret it ever. No one knows and I'm 37 now. They don't just "fall out" if they fit right. Eating certain things can be a challenge, but I can eat almost anything I want without any trouble. I love my dentures, am thankful for them and never having to worry about excruciating pain that pops up on a Friday night knowing dentists are closed on the weekend, or that the extraction doctor isn't available anywhere. And I have a pretty smile now. I recommend it, a million times over.
In the old days medieval to Victorian Times people died from teeth. That's right: their death certificate read "teeth". the tooth infection from an abscess spread to their brain, heart or lungs or other organs or blood and killed them. I think about that and the pain every time I find myself slacking on oral hygiene or going too long without seeing the dentist. The. Pandemic has been a great excuse not to see mine hut when restrictions were lifted I booked an appointment straight away!
One of my friends from high school had dentures to replace her top adult teeth that never came in. Dentures are not just for old people, they are for everyone who needs them and can really bring back confidence.
Hey remember to floss your teeth. Flossing gets all of the plaque inbetween the teath which helps prevent cavity's between the teeth as well as gum recession, and tooth loss.
It depends. My gums are sensitive so flossing is actually bad for me as it'd more often than not leave my gums irritated and swollen. I prefer mouthwash over flossing and I only floss when I feel like I have something stuck between my teeth that I couldn't get out with electric toothbrush and mouthwash :/
Also if your gums bleed and or get inflamed you might have gum disease or you might not be flossing regularly so your gums need time to get use to it make sure to brush twice a day once in the morning and once at night and floss once at night.
lol, don't do that. That's like polishing a car for 97 hours straight...you'd have no paint left! Twice a day, some floss, and a good diet is all that is needed ( : Aggressive brushing leads to loss of the periodontal tissues, exposure of the cementum and an increased likelihood of root caries. ) :
your gums would disintegrate and bleed then your teeth would lose 2 millimeters of cementum and exposing the roots due to erosion. brushing your teeth for 97 hours is most definitely not a good idea
lmao same here. wondering what the main ingrediants are in teeth whiting like baking soda. boutta go get some aquafresh and drop a pinch of baking soda on it and mix it in to get a whitening / cleaning action lmao
I lost 23 teeth at the age of 21 about 6 months ago. I got my dentures about a month ago (Due to insurance and healing) but I was ashamed and had no confidence. I cried when I lost them cause it’s true, they’re a part of you. But I’m so happy and healthy now
Losing a tooth is pretty devastating news because it is apart of you and you don't realize it until the tooth is gone. Losing all your upper teeth has to be even worse and more heartbreaking.
Try all the tops and bottoms two months before you turn 35.... bruxism and a car accident. Ting is when I turned 34 all of my teeth seemed fine that started coming apart in my mouth while I was 34 I would wake up with bits of tooth in my mouth every morning.
Omg the second guy is a really good dad figure he knows wrong and he wants to change for his kid. That’s even better than a dad without problems. Simply bc they decided to do wrong and they know things but they chose to change for someone. That’s love.
There are 2 kinds of parents in this world. The ones that replicate there upbringing and surrounding to a T. Then the ones that actively work to do the opposite
Killed me as a Hygienist how he didn’t include flossing in the research 😭 it’s so freaking crucial. You could brush all day but never reach under the gum like floss can
Yup flossing makes a huge difference. I used to have gingivitis when I was 13 and I started to floss even though my gums would bleed, over time as I kept flossing my gums felt and looked better. They’re healthy with no gingivitis.
@Loving Social Distance True. One of the first things that comes back when you give up smoking is your sense of smell. It can be a powerful motivation to keep off the smokes is when food no longer tastes like cardboard or polystyrene. I hate getting home after a night out and discover the next day that my jacket smells like an ashtray. I don't smoke, yet still end up wearing it.
As a dentist's wife in America, new parents need to understand the value of flossing and brushing right after that first little tooth grows. Doing so creates that essential habit for as long as your child's will remember. You don't need to force the floss perfectly between the gums and tooth, You're just getting them feel a normal, healthy habit.
@@kaliwatson3948 If braces arent an option then you still want to find a way of getting food particles from out from between your teeth. Waterpiks are an excellent option on this regard, which arent nearly as invasive as flossing.
@@kaliwatson3948 make sure you floss for at least a solid month each night, afterwards, it shouldn't be uncomfortable anymore, especially if you use the right floss. You might have to experiment a little with different types of floss such as floss for tight spaces, floss for spaced teeth, etc Waterpiks/airpiks are fine but NOT a replacement for flossing every night. Sorry it took so long to get back but let me know if it works out or if you have any questions
I am a dentist in México 🇲🇽 and this moment 56:32 is what I call satisfaction. The function is over the aesthetic for me. When someone had the inability for eat and you help them solve that kind of problem and you see the result, it is worth all the effort. Love the smile and the satisfaction in that woman when she eat that hamburger.
LOL so much people died in Mexico from cosmetic surgeries and y'all are asking a random person that could be telling y'all anyting what's your info y'all are desperate
@@mina4298 Hi there Mins. Its very difficult especially for men to floss in the back due to larger hands. There is a tool made by REACH that helps you be able to floss in the back. See if you can find it at your local drug store or any store really. You keep the handle but change out the floss heads after use. Works great! You can also try a water pik to get back there if all else fails
Went to the dentist for the first time in 10 years. She said I have no holes, and brush very well behind my wisdom teeth. And have barely any plaque. I can't help but to be proud of myself. Even tho I've been very depressed for a long time.
@シGʜᴏsᴛɪ Bʟᴜᴇシ yes, I am fully aware that this was caused by her poor dental hygiene and fear of dentist. However, I am arguing that it is not completely her fault as she has a fear for dentists. You can't put 100% of the blame on her as she has a traumatic experience with the dentist where she lost her mum at a young age. With just propper brushing and possibly flossing at home she would have been better off than she was now, but it would still be insufficient and she would likely still have quite severe issues.
That’s her phobia of the dentist talking, it makes no sense because she grasping at straws to justify avoiding the dental work she clearly desperately needs
My husband had to get a full top denture at 33. I never saw that man smile until he got his denture and it's so well made he doesn't need denture glue to keep it in. Best choice he ever made.
@@audreym3908 literally anything could be the reason. I had a coworker lose all her teeth from boxing. She was really good at it. Unfortunately you can lose your teeth boxing.
My Dad had full dentures in his early forties due to not taking care of his teeth, drinking, and smoking but I know there are more reasons than those for people to lose their teeth.
@@audreym3908 My husband grew up pretty poor and his family introduced soda and sugar at such a young age and never talked about dental hygiene. By the time he realized he should do something it was too late and he had the best teeth out of the family! His younger brother's rotted down to nubs and so did his younger sister's. His parents both got dentures at 50 which is still pretty young in my opinion. Since bad teeth and periodontal disease is linked to heart disease among other things we decided a top denture was the best choice for him.
His lucky he has you. Statistacally man ignore health problems and just hope it goes away or go seek help to late. So it is probable that you by beeing his wife help him get thro this.
Because insurance considers your teeth cosmetic since it rarely causes anything more than an infection and extreme discomfort. The insurance companies price gouge everything that isnt beneficial to a continuous treatment or medications because curing things doesn't make money.
@@feralmagick7177 That is sadly true, but its such bs because rotten teeth and gums can kill you. It's not just cosmetic. I had to get a root canal cause one of my teeth freakin died (worst pain ever) which caused an infection in my cheek. The dentist told me that if I had waited any longer than a couple weeks to get it fixed, I could've died.
It is really sad that people judge other people by their teeth. Gum diseases run in my family. My grandmother had dentures at 25 and so have I. I'm 31 now and I still hate having them. People think that I had bad teeth bc I was on drugs, I got turned down for jobs bc of them. I still have to get the bottoms done but it is expensive. I wish we had a place like this in the US. God bless yall for helping
I use to make fake teeth out of nail acrylic. And glue them them in. I did it about 8 years. They poisoned me. Bellspalsey. My left side of my face dropped. It looked and acted like a stroke. Don't do it.
Due to mental illness and drug addiction, I didn’t take care of my teeth for 10 years. I got them all fixed a few of years ago and it is the best feeling ever. Luckily I live in a country, where insurance covered most of it. I only had to pay for ceramic crowns.
Same thing happened to my dad, he hasn’t gotten his teeth fixed yet but he did get a tooth pulled. I was so happy to hear that when the dentist asked him if he wanted a pain medication (that could get you high, not like ibuprofen) he said no 😊 I was proud 😆
Wow ive been dealing with the same things for 5 years now. Im so scared to go to the dentist. Did it hurt when you went back the first time for a cleaning? Can they numb you for a cleaning? Im traumatized
What country do you live in. I live in USA and dental insurance is just unaffordable for me, plus it barely covers anything. I haven't seen a dentist in this country in 10 years.
This makes me cry because youre looking at people who are completely opening up who they are on such a public level, that you almost forget that alot of these folks seeking dental treatment live specific ways to never be public about their insecurity regarding dental work. Its amazing to see.
@@neohermitess420 For real. Tooth infection can be fatal. I just don't understand how it's so expensive in the US. Where I'm from, it's really affordable.
@@josephdockemeyer6782 I’ve lived in many states throughout my lifetime. I have never heard of a dental clinic offering such a luxury as fees set to a sliding scale or even missions. In one of the poorest counties in my state there is a charity group that has offers a tiny bit of help for dental emergencies. It’s really pretty sad that our country can’t offer something much more helpful than this: If you are having a dental emergency, you can begin calling no earlier than 9 am every Thursday. The person who answers will take the first five callers for a potential afternoon appointment- but only for a quick evaluation. If that person has a dental problem that the volunteer dentist of the week feels that can repair, the appointment is made for the following Thursday. The patient has to show a W2 and any paperwork if they receive food stamps or any other benefits. Then, the lucky 3 patients of the week get to come back one full week later to hopefully get treated. While I am grateful that at least three per week get some sort of treatment, there are hindreds and hundreds in our county alone who did not get chosen, and who are suffering from some sort of dental issue. They are facing a lifetime of suffering because they will never be able to afford proper dental care. So sad.
StresS DreAm when your stressing about something in real life it will come to you in your dreams and the most very common one is people losing their teeth or having messed up teeth in their dream
I have this dream almost every night!!!….except I actually do have dental issues (a mix of bad luck and subpar hygiene (I am working on it ok)), and have literally lost teeth, so ig it’s makes more sense for me lol. Still, I can’t count the number of times my teeth and/or hair have fallen out in my dreams.
I do too! I have ben told that it happens when you're anxious (which i am), plus i'm a dentistry student and i know that you can have your teeth for your whole life if you take care of it

Sadly in the United States dental is so expensive. My daughter has to get her teeth pulled and is halfway through the process. She's getting a upper denture and her bottom teeth have been fixed. The cash price is 14,000 dollars.
It's not free in the UK either, that's why most people end up with such bad teeth, they just simply can't afford to see the dentist. Nice teeth seems to be for the genetically lucky or the financially well off unfortunately.
@@JimJamTalks we have free healthcare but dentistry is a bit different, though prices are still very low. A tooth being pulled is about £60, but people under 18 get all dentistry for free. Braces are also free for people under 18 xx
@@johnnyd.7998 The majority of people do brush their teeth correctly, it still doesn't change the cost of dentistry. Ignoring that poverty is a huge factor is absolutely ridiculous. People are taught dental hygiene and correct brushing technique in nursery and school. Dental education is pretty good here. We don't have the same sugar issues as the USA because a lot of their products contain hidden sugars that consumers aren't aware of, and even at that, the people most likely to rely on cheaper, convenient, high sugar foods are those in poverty.
From the US - I remember my mother gluing her front crown back in with super glue for years growing up. We didn't have dental insurance (or health insurance) and I didn't see a dentist at all until 14. It's ridiculous that any society would accept dental care as being seen as a luxury that only people with money deserve. It's healthcare!

Dental phobia is real. I have a mild version of it, but I've learned over the years that it's all in my head and whatever the dentist procedure is, it is never as bad as I make it out to be in my head. I now have had almost every procedure done and never miss my 6 month cleaning appointment - changed my life. If you are scared of going to the dentist, my advise is force yourself to go. Dentist technics and medications these days are so good, pain will never be an issue. This is coming from someone who had 2 perfectly good teeth pulled than do a root canal - after I finally did my first root canal (it was a tooth I could not afford to lose) -it turned out to be NO big deal at ALL! I felt nothing .. when the dentist was done, I asked him .. "is that it?" - he laughed and said "yup .. that's it". I encourage you to go - don't wait another 6 months to 10yrs before you go in. Cheers and all the best.
Once I went to the dentist and it was worse than I thought. I had an infection/cysts growing underneath my bottom front teeth. I had surgery, then root canals and finally a new bridge. I'm still having trouble. However, I am on a better path by brushing regularly and visiting my dentist whenever I know I need to. Blessing to you 🙏
@@wendyev310 consider changing your dentist. my dentist is the sole reason i dare to step foot in the clinic. he constantly assures me and all my procedures are so smooth i almost fell asleep! for 20 years of my life i feared dentists until i had him. good luck!
@@JimJamTalks I am really worried because if I get those removed, I would definitely need to get braces for a while. My baby canine teeth is in front and aligns perfectly with other teeth around it (same size too) So the other pair of upper canines is only noticeable if I raise my head and someone checks inside my mouth. (it's behind my baby upper canines and adult lower canines) But on a positive note, brushing and flossing that area would be way easier (stuff gets stuck there easily so I am always worried about cavities) The pandemic has become worse in my city so I haven't seen a dentist yet. I wish I could just get it checked out quickly cause I am becoming more nervous with time.
You should brush your teeth for the minimum of 2 minutes and in a circular motion. Floss in between every single tooth and use alcohol free mouth wash.
I also absolutely hate going to the dentist, but that's precisely why I take care of my teeth so I can have really short short visits, no cavities, no anything
I struggle due to mental health but the last dental visit on Monday I got an all clear for no decay. I try my best with interdental picks, and brushes, mouthwash and diet. Not much sugar because I'm at risk of diabetes.
My heart breaks for people who are so terrified or so financially disadvantaged that they’re not able to keep up their physical and mental health care. I just want to be there to support. Humans are more than their appearance or their income. ❤
I would give just about anything for the opportunity to have these procedures done so I can smile again 😔 why does cosmetic dentistry have to be so expensive?! A person like me could only dream of this
Root canal in Taiwan is only about $6 USD. It's covered under national healthcare. As a result, dentists only do what actually needs done. My dentist in America was so greedy and horrid, always finding several things to do every visit, costing thousands. As a result I had sensitive teeth by high school because of all the work and drilling he did. My dentist in Taiwan is so much better and honest.
It's the same in the UK, the biggest barrier is how much it costs. It's more common that people can't afford to see the dentist than having dental phobias
Yeah I paid about a thousand for the root canal but then needed another $700 for a crown, which I didn't have. They put a temporary one but it broke along with the tooth so I paid for a root canal for nothing!
I used to fear the dentist. My first few experiences were of a terrifying dentist who would pull my baby teeth without anesthesia or telling me. He would scold me for not brushing and flossing properly. Now as an adult, i found a very nice dentist who doesn't judge or talk down to me. He tells me what i need to work on as if he's my coworker and we're sharing resppnsibility for a project. I often fall asleep while the hygienist is cleaning lol.
I started telling the surgeon about what less than legal drugs it felt like I was coming down or hungover from. My mother just sitting there shaking her head lol.
Oh my god. Shes is blessed to be alive..its so dangerous to have mouth infections. I had a great grandfather before peniciilin who have a tooth so infected he died from an infection after they pulled it..my great grandfather. They celebrated their 50 anniversary. Also infections can give you heart trouble infections of any kind..so dont think its crazy to take care of your teeth..
You can say that again!! My friends uncle was this wild, insane character that had several missing teeth that he replaced with RANDOM OBJECTS. Like glass and ceramic and random stuff like a freaking Hobgoblin. He went to prison and apparently kept this habit since the "teeth" would get knocked out in fights. He got such a bad infection it went straight to his tongue, eyes, then his brain and blood. So before he died his eyes were blind and gooey, he was gaunt and he had glass shard teeth. My friend said he was a terrifying person. Hygiene is so important its crazy.
I had crooked teeth as a kid, and when I got braces and some teeth removed, my confidence went up and I look after my teeth now. It makes a lot of difference to your confidence when it comes to your mouth, and your health since oral health can affect your overall health.

As long as you brush your teeth and stay away from sugary stuff you should be fine :D lots of sugar and not brushing are really the worst things you can do (like, dont drink sodas or at least only occasionally, just stick with water or tea without sugar)
My mom had poor dental hygiene growing up because it was never something her family enforced, but she became a diligent tooth brusher in her 30's but the damage was already done. Multiple teeth pulled and crowns. Her experience really motivated me to brush my teeth and take good care of them.
I'm starting my studies to become a dentist this October, and I can't wait to help people with their teeth, which is such an underrated part of our body. I really want to show people that there is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of
13:30 he's saying all you need to do is brush good two times a day, but you also NEED to floss. You need to floss every night and you need to floss correctly to avoid cavities between your teeth.
The British Dental Association and the NHS both consider flossing to be of little value unless you have extremely tight together teeth, which isn’t a common problem in GB.
@@kateh6706 strange. If you are already in the early stages of gum disease, there is a lot of loose tissue for bacteria and food to get trapped under, which flossing helps to remove. Do they at least recommend a waterpik?
@@the_rachel_sam nope. The British dental association doesn’t recommend any kind of flossing at all. Most people floss incorrectly and they can actually cause more damage than it helps in some cases. Again we Americans tend to have tighter teeth that are closer together so flossing is more important for us.
@@nala3055 they don’t consider it super beneficial to encourage every patient to floss daily. Americans have tighter teeth and that is more of a reason to floss, but also a lot of people floss incorrectly which can do more harm than good in some cases.
My mom have a HUGE fear of losing her teeth because her mother ( my grandma ) lost all her teeth due a problem, that I think can be genetic if you don’t brush your teeth properly- And this is so WOW, she would cry and scream if she saw this video And I’m not even joking, when my dad left her, she didn’t cry, but when she broke her teeth while eating an apple she cried FOR HOURS.
We just now got this video from Britain. A lot of people don't know that the reason Bobby Darin ("Mac The Knife") died so young in 1973 was from not taking antibiotics prior to having dental work in late 1973 to protect his already weak heart from the tooth decay infection in his mouth. The infection caused sepsis, a strong blood infection which spread to his heart, weakening it further. In December 1973 he went to the hospital to have necessary surgery to repair two previously damaged heart valves, but his heart was now too weak to take the surgery. He never woke up from recovery. He was 37.
My former boss is from the UK and hadn’t been to the dentist in 35 years.... she finally went recently and they told her it’s gonna take $22,000 to fix them all.
That's insane. I went to uni in the UK in 2001 and they made all of us university students go to the dentist for free every 6 months! From 19-24 I had free dental care and my half in half out 4 wisdoms removed for free. People say going to uni is a waste but it clearly save me a fortune in dental bills and dental pain. I'm nearly 40 and I've continued see the dentist every 6-9 even in the pandemic. Clearly your boss missed that memo at Uni about going to the dentist.
So sad that the lady felt she needed to glue her teeth back in, but good for her for facing her fear and getting help. Although I don’t understand why anyone goes on shows like this!
she probably got the treatment for free from going on the show. dentistry is incredibly expensive and i doubt she would have been able to afford it otherwise.
Also a good method, which they didn't mention, if you have no milk around, is to spit in a clean cup and keep the tooth in that spit. Usually it'll be mixed with blood though and not very nice to hold. But it also works. Maybe unnecessary to mention, it needs to be the spit of the tooth-loss-victim.
I have once had an experience with a dentist that scarred me. I have anxiety already and that made it worse. But I went back and found a new dentist. I don’t think some of these people realize that it’s all about finding the right dentist. The first couple visits with my current dentist, I was having panic attacks and crying the whole way through. But they were calm and patient with me. I still don’t like the dentist, but my current dentist really helped my fears. And pain is something you have to go through to get good teeth. So it’s really all about how you clean your teeth, and the dentist. There are good dentists out there. And some people just have to find the right one :)
So proud of Denise! A beautiful smile for a beautiful woman. I too had to deal with losing my teeth. It was scary at first, but now I have a better smile then I did and I don’t have pain anymore. God bless you Denise! You are courageous‼️
Congratulations to you for overcoming your fears, and just getting on with it. That fear immobilizes you, and so you do nothing. It’s AMAZING isn’t it, to have a great smile AND take care of your teeth. My dentist: If you want to keep your teeth, brush every night. If you want to keep your friends, brush every morning! 😁
To prevent cavities, you need to remove plaque, the transparent layer of bacteria that coats the teeth. The best way to do this is by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Brushing also stimulates the gums, which helps to keep them healthy and prevent gum disease.

My experience with dentists is the snobby attitude when there's a problem. They don't treat you like an adult, instead they talk down to you like a naughty child.
My first dentist was not great (talked down to me, made fun of me for being nervous, etc.) but my new dentist is awesome! Really nice guy, makes sure you have enough freezing, etc.
My first dentist was pretty rude, I was 4. I got strapped down in a hospital like bed with no decor except 2 photos in the procedure room. & they never let the moms go in the room with the child, so I felt very separated. That's how I got my dental phobia,
I am so happy for these people getting their teeth fixed. I can't imagine how liberating they must feel. Losing teeth is one of my biggest fears. So much so that I have a very long and strict mouth cleaning regimen 😅
Brushing for 2 minutes effectively with fluoride toothpaste is a must, but how did he not mention flossing? A toothbrush can’t get in between teeth like floss can...
I don't understand that either. Even in America they state that flossing isn't proven to prevent tooth decay. But bacteria feed off the food between teeth too.
@@rafaeltorre1643 that's interesting. I've never heard of that that flossing don't do anything. All these years and many dentists they always recommend brushing teeth at least twice a day and flossing. Plus regular dental checkup and cleaning.
Omg it really is a privilege to have access to a dentist and proper healthcare. It’s a shame it should be accessible to everyone. But walking around everyday with holes in teeth and teeth falling out doesn’t that hurt omg?
yeah im sure it does, but you know my mom has weak teeth; she care for them but nope, anywho she says her likw crumble in her mouth sometimes and she doesnt feel it all the time. my mom does notdo drugs or drink, well sometimes weed but that wouldn't prevent pain from that alllll day when she smokes late at night. i dont get it.

I waited nearly ten years to get my braces and now that I have them, I've noticed that I'm smiling a lot more. Your smile really does impact your confidence, especially when you're so focused on beauty standards. :/
i’ve been trying to get braces for nearly 6 years now. ive been to countless appointments and the public dental hospital said i need a jaw reconstruction surgery. i’m so scared. i don’t want the surgery, only the braces. i’ve done research and it’s said to get braces BEFORE surgery, but i only want the braces, no surgery. ugh, i’m so close to giving up.
@@mia-nj9rz I’ve never heard of anyone getting the braces before the surgery, even one of my friends had the surgery and then braces
@@mia-nj9rz you might want to get the surgery first and then the braces. Braces affect the jaws as well and make them symmetrical. Right now, I’m currently fixing an over bite and trying to fix my lower and upper jaw into place due to my face being a tad asymmetrical(you can’t notice until I smile widely) it will really help. Do what you can for your teeth💖💖💖
I’m 15 and I’ve had my braces for seven months probably? And I’m genetically missing two and I have to get implants 😀 Can’t wait to get them off but also I’m so scared of getting drugged and saying something dumb

The dentist of the woman who glued her tooth back in was so nice. She kept a straight face and was never harsh even though it's a serious problem. There was something really nice about how she spoke to her and didn't wanna make her more uncomfortable.
@Ami Thomas yes 👏

Twenty four I was going to ask the same question. Both of my daughters needs dental work.
@@EM-kn9im I’m in the US so if we get a dentist with “bad chair manners” then we can just find another. I don’t know if it’s that way in the UK but I certainly would not tolerate a dentist being rude or treating someone with disdain! There’s just no excuse for bad behavior towards patients.

As someone who went almost 20 years before going to the dentist as an adult, I had to go through this myself. Its had and the fear is real. I had 4 extractions 6 fillings and a root canal with a crown lengthening surgery and 2 crowns. But its not the end of the world, its the beginning.
Wow I’m going to have 4 extractions next month too. All molar teeth I find very heard to floss and brush around :(
I had fillers too plus right now i have a cavity but its tiny. I need to stop eating sugar
@@letsgoalready5515 Not sure if u know, but they make different kinds of floss to get into different areas of your mouth. You can use straight floss wrapped around your fingers, or u can use a pic. For those unfamiliar, it's floss attached to little plastic pics. They look like little hand saws or a "C" Clamp! 😂 Not sure where u live either. I'm in US and Wal-Mart or Dollar Tree (and probably any drugstore) sells them by the bag. I'm currently having similar dental problems and I floss every single day (probably several times). The brand I'm using is called "Plackers" and it's very easy to get into back teeth w/them. Also, to brush around back teeth, only use soft/med bristled toothbrush. Buy one w/longer bristles at head/top of toothbrush. This helps it get into/around back teeth specifically. Glad you're getting tended to and hope this helps u find something that works for u. Good Luck. 😊 ✌🏼
I admire your bravery
Well done! It takes courage!
It was incredible to see how much confidence she had afterwards. God bless the dentist who helped her!! She looks amazing!
Ppl have made jokes on/of those w/ jacked or missing grills for...Idk, probs ever, but definitely for many, many yrs. However nowadays, when everything about a person is based on looks, losing your teeth can cause extreme anxiety & depression. It can be so incredibly debilitating,

True when he said a lot of energy drinks I thought he was gonna say 6 a day
he is exaggerating for sure, if he drinks 24 energy drinks per day , i guess his teeth is just one of his many health problems by now.
@@viraloracle5151 he would die from a caffeine shock or heart attack/ arythmic heartbeats
His heart liver and kidneys would be done. His teeth would be the least of his problems. I have drank energy drinks for a long time but like 2-3 a day. Luckily I started drinking sugar free ones a while ago. Plus I floss brush and use mouthwash so my teeth aren't rotted. But my kidneys and liver aren't 100% that's for sure.
They also need to check for diabetes!
It's always so nice to see these patients realize that it's not supposed to hurt when you go to the dentist. Other than the first needle with anesthesia and having to keep your mouth open for a long time, it feels great getting your teeth fixed and having any previous aches you may have felt go away.

@@kwiin2022 genetics are huge when it comes to the health of your teeth. i happen to be extremely lucky and i naturally have incredibly healthy and white teeth, but there’s people who do much better dental care than i do and have it worse. if your parents have a history of this, and lose their teeth at a certain age, you’re very likely to experience the same thing. dental care only slows that process slightly, it’s inevitable.

I struggle heavily with depression, and the first thing to go for me when I lack on caring for myself is brushing my teeth. I once went to a dentist and told them and they kinda sneered at me and told me to try floss picks. It scared me from going back to the dentist for a year, but I went back last week and my hygienist was the kindest woman, who also struggled with mental health and understood my issues. I promise it’s okay. You just have to take that first step and find an understanding dental office. Taking care of your teeth helps you take care of the rest of your body. There are even apps that make brushing enjoyable instead of a chore! You can do this!
I'm a dental hygienist (20 years) and I have struggled with my own mental health. We "dental people" are humans, too! Unfortunately, patients are right, and there can be judgement in some offices, and patients can feel it (I've worked in offices like this and it was NOT for me). I would tell anyone feeling judged to leave and find a different office. The right office is one where you're treated with compassion. It might take some time to find your "dental home", but I promise it's worth it. When you finally get the courage to walk through the door, we're really glad to see you! And we just want to help. The first step is the hardest. I'm so glad to see you're doing better, OP, and that you found an office to take good care of you.
what app if i may ask?
Yeah, my severe depression stops me from caring about myself & meditation can cause a big issues. I always looked after my teeth as kid, teen & young adult. My smile was beautiful & lit up the room. But since I got to 38, living in a toxic, abusive situation, I just have stopped caring completely. I’m too ashamed to even leave the house with the state of my teeth now. At 41, it feels like my life is over.
What does the depression have to do with brushing and hygiene?? You are just a lazy person who likes to stay unclean
@@kr0wn.aSSaSSinI'm sorry you're in a tough situation. Use this to empower and educate yourself. Peroxide can be used to rinse your teeth. You don't want any kind of mouth infection. If severe and left untreated it can spread to the brain and other organs. Ask for the gas you won't care what they're doing because you won't feel pain and may get the giggles. Best of luck and never let your fear prevail and stop you from getting help. Peace ✌️
I feel so grateful that I'm one of those that actually enjoy going to the dentist. How clean and fresh you feel afterwards and it's like going to a spa for me, very relaxing.
I agree 👀
Same here I love the dentist
right?? I love going to the denist and I love flossing and brushing so much. it feels so good afterwards
I'm a nervous patient because my childhood dentist filled deep cavities with no numbing at all. But I go. Every six months. My teeth are definitely not American white, but they are mine.
I hate knowing im going to go to the dentist, but the feeling of relief after 😅
It’s crazy how expensive it is to get your teeth fix in the states...
Yeah! I am originally from Europe now fixing my teeth in US. I am spending 5k 😅
Thousands of dollars for my dentist in America to pull out my wisdom teeth with pliers. He broke a neighbouring tooth in half in the process, and charged more to fix it...
In Taiwan, my dentist performs a root canal for just $6 USD and pulls a tooth for the same price while not breaking any neighbouring teeth lol
@@CaptainsMorning yikes
@@CaptainsMorning , Since your dentist broke your tooth then he should have fixed it for free. That's absolutely ridiculous. Sorry that happened to you.
@@Suzanimal_316 should have, but didn't. Because of him, I'll never trust an American dentist. Too risky in my mind. Every single Taiwanese dentist I've ever had has even made a root canal seem like a spa day. They use little tricks such as massaging the area with their mirror while inserting the needle to inject numbing agents, etc. They've all been so kind and honest, never do anything that doesn't need to be done. Healthcare is the reason I'll die of sweating to death in Taiwan before ever even dreaming of moving back to the States. ... Sorry to any dentists in America who are actually honest and good to their patients, I do know they exist! I'm just not willing to take chances.

okay let's drop the stigma that dentures are "only for old people". it's simple thoughts like that that can stop people in the younger gen wanting to fix their teeth out of fear of "looking old", but it's definitely worth getting your teeth pulled out if it means you won't have any health complications later on in life because you delayed getting treatment. don't be afraid to get your teeth fixed if you can afford it! even if you have to travel somewhere else, do it! take the opportunity! your mouth will thank you.
I wanted to add: I've heard complications can include anything from mouth infections; impacted teeth; to even worse cases such as heart disease and alzheimer's...so please, take care of yourselves as soon as y'all possibly can!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I had my teeth pulled at 28. After a decade of root canals, caps, fillings, extractions...I gave up. They just got worse and worse and the pain was agonizing.
I got removable dentures and I'm SO happy. I do not regret it ever. No one knows and I'm 37 now. They don't just "fall out" if they fit right. Eating certain things can be a challenge, but I can eat almost anything I want without any trouble. I love my dentures, am thankful for them and never having to worry about excruciating pain that pops up on a Friday night knowing dentists are closed on the weekend, or that the extraction doctor isn't available anywhere. And I have a pretty smile now.
I recommend it, a million times over.
I got dentures at 27. The only regret I have was not getting them sooner.
In the old days medieval to Victorian Times people died from teeth. That's right: their death certificate read "teeth". the tooth infection from an abscess spread to their brain, heart or lungs or other organs or blood and killed them. I think about that and the pain every time I find myself slacking on oral hygiene or going too long without seeing the dentist. The. Pandemic has been a great excuse not to see mine hut when restrictions were lifted I booked an appointment straight away!
One of my friends from high school had dentures to replace her top adult teeth that never came in. Dentures are not just for old people, they are for everyone who needs them and can really bring back confidence.

Hey remember to floss your teeth. Flossing gets all of the plaque inbetween the teath which helps prevent cavity's between the teeth as well as gum recession, and tooth loss.
Flossing terrifying for me.
It depends. My gums are sensitive so flossing is actually bad for me as it'd more often than not leave my gums irritated and swollen. I prefer mouthwash over flossing and I only floss when I feel like I have something stuck between my teeth that I couldn't get out with electric toothbrush and mouthwash :/
@@kemalasaridina1898 if your gums do that, they might actually be getting gum diseases out of them. ( that’s just what google says )
My little sister wasted my floss and I dont have anymore😬😭
Also if your gums bleed and or get inflamed you might have gum disease or you might not be flossing regularly so your gums need time to get use to it make sure to brush twice a day once in the morning and once at night and floss once at night.
Ok now i feel like i should go in the bathroom and brush my teeth for 97 hours straight thinking about rotten teeth
lol, don't do that. That's like polishing a car for 97 hours straight...you'd have no paint left! Twice a day, some floss, and a good diet is all that is needed ( : Aggressive brushing leads to loss of the periodontal tissues, exposure of the cementum and an increased likelihood of root caries. ) :
your gums would disintegrate and bleed then your teeth would lose 2 millimeters of cementum and exposing the roots due to erosion. brushing your teeth for 97 hours is most definitely not a good idea

Losing a tooth is pretty devastating news because it is apart of you and you don't realize it until the tooth is gone. Losing all your upper teeth has to be even worse and more heartbreaking.

Try all the tops and bottoms two months before you turn 35.... bruxism and a car accident. Ting is when I turned 34 all of my teeth seemed fine that started coming apart in my mouth while I was 34 I would wake up with bits of tooth in my mouth every morning.
I lost two teeth
I'm still sad I didn't get a tooth check out early enough to avoid a crown; I can't imagine how bad I would feel if I lost the whole tooth.

Yup flossing makes a huge difference. I used to have gingivitis when I was 13 and I started to floss even though my gums would bleed, over time as I kept flossing my gums felt and looked better. They’re healthy with no gingivitis.

I have NEVER flossed my teeth is great
As a dentist's wife in America, new parents need to understand the value of flossing and brushing right after that first little tooth grows. Doing so creates that essential habit for as long as your child's will remember.
You don't need to force the floss perfectly between the gums and tooth, You're just getting them feel a normal, healthy habit.
What do I do if my teeth are too wonky to get floss in there without it shifting my teeth uncomfortably?
@@kaliwatson3948 If braces arent an option then you still want to find a way of getting food particles from out from between your teeth. Waterpiks are an excellent option on this regard, which arent nearly as invasive as flossing.
Can you tell me how Americans have white teeth naturally. Like i do brush my teeth, floss and use a mouthwash but it’s still unsatisfying yellow☹️
@@kaliwatson3948 make sure you floss for at least a solid month each night, afterwards, it shouldn't be uncomfortable anymore, especially if you use the right floss. You might have to experiment a little with different types of floss such as floss for tight spaces, floss for spaced teeth, etc

@シGʜᴏsᴛɪ Bʟᴜᴇシ yes, I am fully aware that this was caused by her poor dental hygiene and fear of dentist. However, I am arguing that it is not completely her fault as she has a fear for dentists. You can't put 100% of the blame on her as she has a traumatic experience with the dentist where she lost her mum at a young age.
With just propper brushing and possibly flossing at home she would have been better off than she was now, but it would still be insufficient and she would likely still have quite severe issues.
That’s her phobia of the dentist talking, it makes no sense because she grasping at straws to justify avoiding the dental work she clearly desperately needs

My husband had to get a full top denture at 33. I never saw that man smile until he got his denture and it's so well made he doesn't need denture glue to keep it in. Best choice he ever made.
How did he get it at such a young age?
@@audreym3908 literally anything could be the reason. I had a coworker lose all her teeth from boxing. She was really good at it. Unfortunately you can lose your teeth boxing.
My Dad had full dentures in his early forties due to not taking care of his teeth, drinking, and smoking but I know there are more reasons than those for people to lose their teeth.
@@audreym3908 My husband grew up pretty poor and his family introduced soda and sugar at such a young age and never talked about dental hygiene. By the time he realized he should do something it was too late and he had the best teeth out of the family! His younger brother's rotted down to nubs and so did his younger sister's. His parents both got dentures at 50 which is still pretty young in my opinion. Since bad teeth and periodontal disease is linked to heart disease among other things we decided a top denture was the best choice for him.
His lucky he has you. Statistacally man ignore health problems and just hope it goes away or go seek help to late. So it is probable that you by beeing his wife help him get thro this.

I am sitting here wondering why isn't dentistry covered by insurence. It is ridiculous, it is a medical problem.
they're luxury bones
It’s discounted in the UK
Because insurance considers your teeth cosmetic since it rarely causes anything more than an infection and extreme discomfort. The insurance companies price gouge everything that isnt beneficial to a continuous treatment or medications because curing things doesn't make money.
@@feralmagick7177 That is sadly true, but its such bs because rotten teeth and gums can kill you. It's not just cosmetic. I had to get a root canal cause one of my teeth freakin died (worst pain ever) which caused an infection in my cheek. The dentist told me that if I had waited any longer than a couple weeks to get it fixed, I could've died.
My dentist takes insurance. Sometimes insurance will cover crown/caps, but not for my braces.
It is really sad that people judge other people by their teeth. Gum diseases run in my family. My grandmother had dentures at 25 and so have I. I'm 31 now and I still hate having them. People think that I had bad teeth bc I was on drugs, I got turned down for jobs bc of them. I still have to get the bottoms done but it is expensive. I wish we had a place like this in the US.

@@josephdockemeyer6782 I’ve lived in many states throughout my lifetime. I have never heard of a dental clinic offering such a luxury as fees set to a sliding scale or even missions.
In one of the poorest counties in my state there is a charity group that has offers a tiny bit of help for dental emergencies. It’s really pretty sad that our country can’t offer something much more helpful than this:
If you are having a dental emergency, you can begin calling no earlier than 9 am every Thursday. The person who answers will take the first five callers for a potential afternoon appointment- but only for a quick evaluation. If that person has a dental problem that the volunteer dentist of the week feels that can repair, the appointment is made for the following Thursday. The patient has to show a W2 and any paperwork if they receive food stamps or any other benefits. Then, the lucky 3 patients of the week get to come back one full week later to hopefully get treated.
While I am grateful that at least three per week get some sort of treatment, there are hindreds and hundreds in our county alone who did not get chosen, and who are suffering from some sort of dental issue. They are facing a lifetime of suffering because they will never be able to afford proper dental care. So sad.

Sadly in the United States dental is so expensive. My daughter has to get her teeth pulled and is halfway through the process. She's getting a upper denture and her bottom teeth have been fixed. The cash price is 14,000 dollars.
It's not free in the UK either, that's why most people end up with such bad teeth, they just simply can't afford to see the dentist. Nice teeth seems to be for the genetically lucky or the financially well off unfortunately.

@@JimJamTalks we have free healthcare but dentistry is a bit different, though prices are still very low. A tooth being pulled is about £60, but people under 18 get all dentistry for free. Braces are also free for people under 18 xx
@@johnnyd.7998 The majority of people do brush their teeth correctly, it still doesn't change the cost of dentistry. Ignoring that poverty is a huge factor is absolutely ridiculous.

From the US - I remember my mother gluing her front crown back in with super glue for years growing up.

Dental phobia is real. I have a mild version of it, but I've learned over the years that it's all in my head and whatever the dentist procedure is, it is never as bad as I make it out to be in my head. I now have had almost every procedure done and never miss my 6 month cleaning appointment - changed my life. If you are scared of going to the dentist, my advise is force yourself to go. Dentist technics and medications these days are so good, pain will never be an issue. This is coming from someone who had 2 perfectly good teeth pulled than do a root canal - after I finally did my first root canal (it was a tooth I could not afford to lose) -it turned out to be NO big deal at ALL! I felt nothing .. when the dentist was done, I asked him .. "is that it?" - he laughed and said "yup .. that's it". I encourage you to go - don't wait another 6 months to 10yrs before you go in. Cheers and all the best.
Unfortunately for me the procedure is always SO much worse than I expect & I end up hating the dentist more
Once I went to the dentist and it was worse than I thought. I had an infection/cysts growing underneath my bottom front teeth. I had surgery, then root canals and finally a new bridge. I'm still having trouble. However, I am on a better path by brushing regularly and visiting my dentist whenever I know I need to. Blessing to you 🙏

After 10 minutes of watching this, I got up from my bed and went directly to the bathroom to brush my teeth for 5 minutes!
Now I want to go to the dentist and get my teeth fixed (I have 4 upper canines)

@@JimJamTalks I am really worried because if I get those removed, I would definitely need to get braces for a while. My baby canine teeth is in front and aligns perfectly with other teeth around it (same size too) So the other pair of upper canines is only noticeable if I raise my head and someone checks inside my mouth. (it's behind my baby upper canines and adult lower canines) But on a positive note, brushing and flossing that area would be way easier (stuff gets stuck there easily so I am always worried about cavities) The pandemic has become worse in my city so I haven't seen a dentist yet. I wish I could just get it checked out quickly cause I am becoming more nervous with time.
Same😂😂😂
You should brush your teeth for the minimum of 2 minutes and in a circular motion. Floss in between every single tooth and use alcohol free mouth wash.
I also absolutely hate going to the dentist, but that's precisely why I take care of my teeth so I can have really short short visits, no cavities, no anything
I struggle due to mental health but the last dental visit on Monday I got an all clear for no decay. I try my best with interdental picks, and brushes, mouthwash and diet. Not much sugar because I'm at risk of diabetes.

The cost of dental work is the primary barrier to treatment in the US. $1000+ for a single root canal.
Root canal in Taiwan is only about $6 USD. It's covered under national healthcare. As a result, dentists only do what actually needs done.
My dentist in America was so greedy and horrid, always finding several things to do every visit, costing thousands. As a result I had sensitive teeth by high school because of all the work and drilling he did. My dentist in Taiwan is so much better and honest.
It's the same in the UK, the biggest barrier is how much it costs. It's more common that people can't afford to see the dentist than having dental phobias
Mine was estimated at around $625. I went back to my old dentist and she said the tooth was fine.
Yeah I paid about a thousand for the root canal but then needed another $700 for a crown, which I didn't have. They put a temporary one but it broke along with the tooth so I paid for a root canal for nothing!
@@NiaJustNia I get free dental care in the UK because I'm on a low disability income.
I used to fear the dentist. My first few experiences were of a terrifying dentist who would pull my baby teeth without anesthesia or telling me.

He tells me what i need to work on as if he's my coworker and we're sharing resppnsibility for a project. I often fall asleep while the hygienist is cleaning lol.

You can say that again!! My friends uncle was this wild, insane character that had several missing teeth that he replaced with RANDOM OBJECTS.

The British Dental Association and the NHS both consider flossing to be of little value unless you have extremely tight together teeth, which isn’t a common problem in GB.
@@kateh6706 strange. If you are already in the early stages of gum disease, there is a lot of loose tissue for bacteria and food to get trapped under, which flossing helps to remove. Do they at least recommend a waterpik?
@@the_rachel_sam nope. The British dental association doesn’t recommend any kind of flossing at all. Most people floss incorrectly and they can actually cause more damage than it helps in some cases. Again we Americans tend to have tighter teeth that are closer together so flossing is more important for us.
@@nala3055 they don’t consider it super beneficial to encourage every patient to floss daily. Americans have tighter teeth and that is more of a reason to floss, but also a lot of people floss incorrectly which can do more harm than good in some cases.

We just now got this video from Britain. A lot of people don't know that the reason Bobby Darin ("Mac The Knife") died so young in 1973 was from not taking antibiotics prior to having dental work in late 1973 to protect his already weak heart from the tooth decay infection in his mouth. The infection caused sepsis, a strong blood infection which spread to his heart, weakening it further. In December 1973 he went to the hospital to have necessary surgery to repair two previously damaged heart valves, but his heart was now too weak to take the surgery. He never woke up from recovery. He was 37.

Love that neither of these dentist were judgemental. That can stop so many people from coming in.
To prevent cavities, you need to remove plaque, the transparent layer of bacteria that coats the teeth. The best way to do this is by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Brushing also stimulates the gums, which helps to keep them healthy and prevent gum disease.
My experience with dentists is the snobby attitude when there's a problem. They don't treat you like an adult, instead they talk down to you like a naughty child.
My first dentist was not great (talked down to me, made fun of me for being nervous, etc.) but my new dentist is awesome! Really nice guy, makes sure you have enough freezing, etc.
Yea. That really keeps people away from getting the help they need. I'm so glad I found kind dentists who understand and help me.

My first dentist was pretty rude, I was 4. I got strapped down in a hospital like bed with no decor except 2 photos in the procedure room. & they never let the moms go in the room with the child, so I felt very separated. That's how I got my dental phobia,
That is 100% unprofessional of them. Research before making an appointment.
If I ever manage to become rich, I want to open a line of dental centres, dermatology centres, and an animal rescue. Cause yah.
That's quite the paradox there, mate
I hope you become rich because we need more animal rescues
You’re my kind of people, I’d help too gladly!
Include me in
Don't forget a church!!!
I am so happy for these people getting their teeth fixed. I can't imagine how liberating they must feel. Losing teeth is one of my biggest fears. So much so that I have a very long and strict mouth cleaning regimen 😅
Brushing for 2 minutes effectively with fluoride toothpaste is a must, but how did he not mention flossing? A toothbrush can’t get in between teeth like floss can...
I don't understand that either. Even in America they state that flossing isn't proven to prevent tooth decay. But bacteria feed off the food between teeth too.
Do your research FLUORIDE IS VERY UNHEALTHY
@@nakiabrown1976 You're referring to high doses of flouride like in water in America for example. Anything is bad in large amounts.
@@nakiabrown1976 lol it's not like you're swallowing it
@@rafaeltorre1643 that's interesting. I've never heard of that that flossing don't do anything. All these years and many dentists they always recommend brushing teeth at least twice a day and flossing. Plus regular dental checkup and cleaning.
The confidence that the young dad had after that appointment! His teeth look great! 🥺
Probably done it for the child as much as, or more than, the child.
Omg it really is a privilege to have access to a dentist and proper healthcare. It’s a shame it should be accessible to everyone. But walking around everyday with holes in teeth and teeth falling out doesn’t that hurt omg?
I agree
yes,, it hurts
yeah im sure it does, but you know my mom has weak teeth; she care for them but nope, anywho she says her likw crumble in her mouth sometimes and she doesnt feel it all the time. my mom does notdo drugs or drink, well sometimes weed but that wouldn't prevent pain from that alllll day when she smokes late at night. i dont get it.
It does :(
@@majidesu6191 ): im sorry
I see the dentist 4 times a year. The dad was inspiring.
