🦷 Is it time to revamp your hygiene routine? 🪥 Get FREE access to the 5 must-have elements for an impeccable oral health routine here: bit.ly/free-oral-hygiene-routine-guide

I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 10 years (grew up very poor), I had an incredibly traumatic experience the first and last time I went, and my parents never taught me proper dental hygiene. Funny enough, my parents are under 60 and have full sets of dentures. I recently had my first quadrant deep cleaned/scaled by a new dentist, and I can’t even explain how good I already feel. I was so scared, but everything has gone amazingly so far. I’m currently buying my first electric toothbrush, waterpick, tons and tons of string floss, I’m going all out! For anyone who needs to go see their dentist but is too scared, I promise you it is worth it. I PROMISE. That fear quickly melts away once you realize what a service you’re doing for yourself, and how much you’re taking care of yourself. Your body will thank you. ♥️

@@rubitinkerbell9478 I know going to the dentist seems like a daunting and terrifying task. Like I said, I went once when I was 16 because we were too poor to go, and I never went back until age 25. My plaque and tartar was so bad that it was starting to cause me health problems in my body. Not to scare you into going, but tartar left alone for too long can go further than your mouth; it can cause heart issues, and other problems in the body. My best advice is to do your research. If you have insurance, ask around and find a dentist you think you can trust. If you don’t have insurance, see if there are assistance programs near you, or a dental school! They typically do cleanings and deep cleanings for free! Research what their facility looks like and visualize yourself there, that helped me a lot, so I wasn’t surprised when I walked into this new scary building. Once you find a trusted dentist, tell them EVERYTHING. Lay it ALL out on the table. I mean literally everything. Communication is key. How long it’s been since your last visit, how often you brush/floss, and do not be ashamed. They won’t pick fun. My dentist told me she sees more patients like mine every day than she actually sees her bi-annual cleaning patients. Bring a friend/family member/someone you trust with you if it helps! Hold their hand if you have to, I did when I was 16 and did it again when I was 25. The more you go, the less scary it becomes. Take your own before and after pictures of you teeth! That helped give me motivation to keep going back. I promise you’ve got this, I mean it. You’re going to do yourself such a good service. A good trusted dentist doesn’t care how long it’s been, or what shape your teeth are in. They are there to help you be the best you can. If you need some encouragement, I’m always here to help! Take your time, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You got this, friend. 🥰

For most of my life I was fine just brushing and flossing, then I had some health issues. Afterward I had bone loss and gum recession. (6years ago) I started doing a similar routine as yours. I was able to stop the bone loss and many areas of my gums have returned close to normal. My dentist was super impressed how clean my teeth were at my last visit, and that the bone loss has been stopped. My routine is: either water floss or string floss, regular toothbrush, then rotodent toothbrush, then interdental brushes dipped in either mouthwash, or toothpaste. Dipping them makes a very big difference. It takes time but it is really worth it! 6 years ago I was told it would cost $20,000 or more to restore my bones and gums. 6 years later I go back to a dentist and I didn’t even need a deep cleaning :) Your videos are full of great info, and entertaining.

as a kid hygiene was never taught to me, so thank you for helping me now

As someone who had a mother who did dentist, and instilled none of the habits to us or even encourage basic brushing, I really appreciate learning all this stuff. Hopefully it isn't too late (lots of gum regression, but can't afford a dental visit with insurance..)

Dental visits are usually free with insurance? Or are you from somewhere with a Medicaid reimbursement plan (you pay half for visits and the government pays the other). Having been through several tight spots, see if you can get a dental savings plan, if the lowest band of insurance is not in your ballpark. They're usually $13/month with full x rays,cleaning, and consultation coming in at $250-. At $35 dollars a month for a bare bones dental plan in my neck of the woods, you're $100+ short of a regular insurance policy. Especially if you have not gone to the dentist in a while the sooner you go the less it will cost you long term.

@@fer10190 Hi! I know the question wasn't directed to me either but I am also having Invisalign treatment. It's actually been going on for like 3 years now. It might sound long, but it was due to a few months of COVID-19 delays and a lot of "adjustments" (not sure what they call it, and my current one is like my 4th time I think). "Adjustments" basically mean after you complete your first set of Invisalign, the dentist scans your teeth and if he finds that further improvements can be made, they'll arrange it and then boom, a new set of Invisalign to wear. Although these "adjustments" could be a lot (depending on the individual of course), my teeth actually have already started looking much neater than before and almost seemingly flawless at the end of my 2nd set of Invisalign (was about a year or less into the treatment). Not sure if that's how it works in every dental clinic, but my clinic doesn't charge additional fees for it, which is a good thing. So I personally don't mind these "adjustments" since they're basically free of charge. Hope this information helps! Have you started with Invisalign already?

I am doing all of this and have been consistent for the like past 3 years+ and it has helped my teeth alot. Good routine!

So by the time you're done with your routine, you're in bed by 3 or 4 am?

I'm so glad you made this video. Here's why, and it's not because it benefits me. I got very lucky, and attended a really great public school in elementary school that taught me all about dental care, right down to the name of each tooth, in the 4th grade, and how to brush, floss, use disclosing tablets once a month, etc. However, as a 50+-year-old woman today, I'm surprised how many adults do NOT ever learn how to take care of their teeth, or why it's important for heart health and general immune health. I think of all the kids who grow up in neglectful homes, with abusive, addicted, emotionally mature, or ignorant primary caregivers, and pretty much have to raise themselves because no adult is raising them. I think of all the children in foster care, and even those who are homeschooled who never learn these things because it's not part of the "creationist" curriculum. You may or may not be aware, but you are probably helping a lot of kids and adults alike, who never had a nurturing, caring parent in their home, or were raised by the human equivalent of sharks that didn't care about their own child, much less their child's teeth and overall health. You're really doing great public service, and your video are friends and accessible. Just wanted to say thank you for being a positive role model and global citizen.

This whole routine should be taught in school, absolutely must, because no one has ever taught me except brushing

I love you dry humor, your videos are AWESOME and VERY INFORMATIVE! 😁

Love the science bathroom. This is a great example of the many tools that can be optionally used at home to prevent cavities and gum diseases. Also for those living in areas without Fluoride in the water, (eg UK) it’s important to brush with a fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash LAST and not rinse the mouth or drink or eat for 20-30 mins. (Spit out the toothpaste and mouthwash immediately after brush/mouthwash).

I think I've spotted a problem in my routine. I floss, rinse, brush, rinse, clean tongue and rinse. I rinse so often because I hate the idea of loose trash being in my mouth at any stage. If the tongue scraper loosened particles and dropped it off the scraper, it's in my mouth = no, I'm rinsing it out lol. Anyways, I think I should floss, brush and do tongue and then rinse. Then do fluoride mouth wash and wait 30 minutes to eat/drink. Save me some time in the AM.

OH THE SHINING!!

I floss first than brush my teeth with sonic or oscillate electric toothbrush. I use teeth paste with nano hydroxilpeptyte and leave it on thru night , after brushing and I don't rinse with water. Teeth have remineralized back and I have no cavities last 10 years. I don't use mouthwash. I use now toothpaste from US, it's called Boka. They don't sale them here in Europe.

I always clean teeth with corsodol spray no rinse. Then use combined tiny brush and pointed dental toothpick. Then rinse with water.

Are used to get tonsil stones because I had a hole in my tonsil so they removed my tonsils and I was in my late 30s. Pretty painful but I’ll do it again and so glad I did it. No more tonsil stones.

Unfortunately, you need mechanical way to remove plaque, food debris below the gumline and in between the teeth. The water flosser does not replace flossing.

I have braces and I miss flossing normally, not with all this hassle of the thread. Although, thanks to braces, I incorporated the proxy brushes and water flosser and I will stay doing them after the orthodontic treatment!

My current night routine now its as follows: 1. String floss. 2. Water floss twice (meaning 1 water reservoir for the front teeth and chewing surfaces and 1 water reservoir for the back part of the teeth and tongue). 3. Manually brush the teeth, spit not rinse. 4. Tongue scraped. 5. Electric brush, spit not rinse. 6. Wait for about 5 minutes and mouthwash for 1 minute, spit not rinse.

3:53 how come the interdental brush fits through your teeth? I have fixed retainers upper and lower..wish i could floss that easily..there is no space between them😔
