I agree! I use hard bristle brushes because soft bristles leave tons of crap on my teeth. After a couple of months, the build-up is very noticeable. I don't press very hard; even with soft bristles, my toothbrushes never show wear. Going back to hard bristles made my teeth a lot cleaner. I've had problems with receding gums since my pregnancies 40+ years ago, so I've always been scared of brushing too hard. But where do you draw the line between clean teeth and hurting your gums?

This is why you should use an electric toothbrush. It does the work for you, it alerts you if brushing too hard, but still gets your teeth very clean, better than a manual

I believe that menopause can also impact on our gums and can lead to gum recession.

@@beautyaddict08 I was prescribed aromatase inhibitors (medical menopause) 4 months ago and now I have receding gums... coincidence? UGH

​@WickedYogaDoll probably not a coincidence.

How much does that cost

@@stephaniemamatree5973hopefully less than the cost of dealing with periodontal disease.

Yeah, gum grafting scares me however. Cutting the top of the pallet sounds like a nightmare to recover from.

@@HelderP1337there’s synthetic, that’s what I had. It’s still miserable and expensive

@@mschief-central4940 what's miserable, the recovery? Did you have a relatively good healing period, however?

Soft ones feel nicer

I soften my bristles with hot water beforehand. Soft brush of course.

Same

Oh

​@@coloradomark2159I do the same. Thought it was rare

thanks so much. Can't bear to listen to someone (anyone, it's not personal) talk over what I consider musical noise pollution. Many of these infotainment channels do this now, ever since YT began to push the idea with a catalog of muzak (some of which is free, some of which you need to pay for, which is why it is presented as upping the production value of your videos. believe you me, it doesn't).

@@Loufi303 your very welcome! 😊

Also if you wore orthodontics that can also cause. I have have gum recession and bone loss, and my dentist said it was due to orthodontics. They said with the shifting of the teeth sometimes the bone doesn’t go along with it.

thank you so much for the kind comment :) here's a video of mine with tips on finding a good dentist -- hope this helps: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qaqVaJOblbOqcok.html

@@TeethTalk thanks!

thank you for being here! becoming a teeth enthusiast!!!!!

so does the water flossing helps with any pain and sensitivity too?

@@jdenino6022 yes, because it gives your gums additional massage

@@jdenino6022? Does it

Answer!

Possibly, if your gums are sensitive, they are more than likely inflamed, water flossing properly will keep them cleaner and should reduce inflammation which is why the gums are sensitive, so the short answer is it can potentially help.

I also have it on bottom teeth. I think I brush too hard. My hygienist told me that I do. I have a bad fear they will fall out. I have always took care of my teeth don't know what I would do if they do. .😢. I would never leave my house again . 😊😊.

yesss! and thank you!!!! I need to start using my IG GIFs again with the "teeth talk tuesday" and "toothy thursday" images!! :) thank you for remind me!!! haha!

⁠@@TeethTalkhaha I didn’t notice you stopped using them lol think I’m old skool teeth talk 😂

thank you so much for this kind comment! wishing you continued dental health!

@TeethTalk You're welcome Whitney. Keep up the excellent work.

FYI my hygienist feels water flossing should be an addition to other forms of flossing.

Do u take VIT D tablets? With K2

than you for watching and subbing!

Why many people are very pleased after full teeth row implants an stuff

Where was your husband from? If you don’t mind me asking?

Does he drink milk?

It’s actually pretty unbelievable how many random things like this throughout an individual’s childhood that either set allow you to cruise through adulthood without the hassles that everyone else has or be In the trenches never able to catch up to childhood mistakes/ignorance to whatever problems your dealing with lol.

PLT :) :)

I'd recommend going to a different dentist, get a second opinion.

Deep cleaning are not good.. side affects of it it loosing theeth

PLT :) :) :)

I can see it taking a good 6 months. Better to move the teeth slowly and steady. Puts less stress on the root and less pain for you.

When I first got braces, I kept getting crap stuck between the same two teeth all the time so I flossed there quite a bit. Bled a few times. Didn’t floss on an angle like you’re supposed to, but up and down and now I have a gap between those teeth because the gum receded slightly and now my Ortho has to try and close the gap. So yeah, aggressive flossing is a bad idea

Have u tried gentle brushing with neem powder, clove oil/ powder, turmeric powder, ???

thank you for watching!

You should brush before bedtime. Most dry-mouth problems occur while you're sleeping, and dry mouth is a big cause of cavities and gum disease.

Then brush with less force

Maybe graphene oxide in the vials

Same here. Exact same issue as you. Hopefully we can get a response on this.

I had this very issue. My problem was gingivitis. I've been getting professional cleanings every 3 months for over two years. At my last cleaning I was told I am 90% better than when I came in for my first visit. I had the issue with my lower front teeth pulling away from my gums but it has since resolved. Nothing like a great report from the hygienist. 🥰

I use oral b extra soft... works great! 👍🏻

I don't think it is - mine seems much better, and the sensitivity much less after my gums started bleeding every time I cleaned my teeth, I started taking Vit C, they stopped bleeding, and as a bonus, they seemed to plump up?

here's my products video! links in the description: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pc6RgNepy9apj6M.html hope this helps!

My gums are growing back after increasing my protein intake to .5 grams per pound of body weight. I wasn't getting half that before and I paid the price in slow healing, thin skin, hair loss, etc., etc. My hair is growing back, too, after suffering major hair loss for 8 years.

@TeethTalk thanks so much !

All I got was a cleaning and it went away for thr most part. No antibiotics

I use hard bristles because my pressure is so light that I can't get my teeth clean otherwise. Just to elaborate, even using soft bristles, my pressure was so light that my brushes never showed wear.

ahhhh yikes! plz DM me the video on IG!!! @teethtalkgirl so curious...!

@@TeethTalk I’ve just done that, thanks a lot for bringing a bit of clarity. As usual, tons of conflicting infos over the net... 😳😳😳

@@TeethTalk That dentist would be Dr. Ellie Phillips DDS. She is hated by many in the dental community for her unorthodox and naturopathic approach to dental wellness. Like the commentor above, often the doctor is mis-quoted to make her appear foolish. Example; the brushes she recommends are actually soft (,Dr Plotkas Extra Soft Bristle Flossing Toothbrush), but her method includes some vigorous gum massage. I begin her 6 month self care system next week. The reason? My dentist, working in collusion with his hygienist, tried to sell me on becoming a *lifetime* periodontal patient based only on a temporary decline in gum health due to poor care during a recent bout of insomnia. That's right, a deep cleaning at great cost and discomfort every 3 months for *the rest of my Life.* To convince me I needed this, they had me double down on my flossing, brushing, and water picking...which of course made it worse. After an entire weekend of binge watching Dr.Ellie's videos, I am convinced that rather than deep cleaning, a rigid home care system pioneered by this dentist of 50 years, and author of several books on the topic may well be my best course of action. BTW, I am a self taught expert on bad dentistry. I began that education in 1961, and paid the price for my education in much blood (literally), pain and suffering, and tens of thousands of dollars. The field of dentistry is ripe with con-men & women and incompetents. Patient health is not their priority, the income is. My proof of that? Not even ONE of the 30 or 40 dentists I've had told me that tooth decay was 90% due to eating habits. They ALL said I had a weak immune system and pre-disposition to decay/caries. I was doomed to quarterly cleanings with a minimum of 2 fillings or a crown *every visit.* Six years ago I went to a keto /carnivore lifestyle. No more sugar, grains, or other sticky carbs. Guess what? 4 1/2 years now with not one single cavity. Four areas that my dentist insisted must have decay removed and filled actually re-mineralized and healed themselves. It's true. I WILL restore my gum health and dental biome this same way, naturally. Dr. Ellie's program makes sense.

Dr Phillips is a real doctor. Her regime works great.

Yes

@@srslyerica9843 thanks will start wearing during the day as I grind my teeth a lot during the day

yesssss bruxism is definitely a cause!!!

the recession due to calculus is included in the "poor home care" section: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oKejga2Ux5rNkZs.htmlsi=Qu5baTuta4F_ejNZ&t=67 hope this helps!

and also here's my "tartar keeps building up" video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbiBpqSi1LzTomg.html

That’s also what I do :,’D

Invisalign retainers are thinner so if you’re actively clenching or grinding then I’d say yes!

Don’t rush to implant

Hi!

here's my gum grafting video -- hope this helps: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qqxmeMqEspu4nHU.html

here are my videos about xylitol -- hope these help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bKpgaJOUzKm-kas.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldePoNil1ZbOd4E.html

quick answer -- yes can help prevent cavities in addition to fluoride! and indirectly it might help with gum recession by helping repel plaque however it does not replace the mechanical motions of brushing and flossing. hope this helps!

Thank you very much!

Always get a second opinion

Lots of people, including my brother, go to Mexico for dental work. Stop eating sugar. Use stevia or monkfruit, or even Splenda. As you reduce your sugar consumption, your desire for it will decrease. Since my husband and I stopped sugar, we don't get cavities any more. I use Splenda in my coffee and tea and don't consume sugary cereal or soda pop. I have a mouthful of fillings dating back to childhood, but I haven't had a cavity since 2003.

Also, increase your protein intake, and start using a mouthwash with phosphate. Your teeth are made of not only calcium, but phosphate, too. I rebuilt the enamel on a tooth that was worn down to the dentin on the tip with a homemade trisodium phosphate rinse. You can also buy commercially made phosphate mouthwash. It sounds radical, but it works.

if people buy them, then companies sell them :( kinda like cigarettes!

@@TeethTalk thanks for responding. 💟

I use a hard bristle brush. I used a soft brush for 20 years and I couldn't get my teeth clean. I use very light pressure, so it works for me.

treatment is usually gum grafting or pinhole procedure! I should definitely make a video about that!!!

@@TeethTalk That probably costs $1,000 😭

oooops! was it?!?! my bad 🙃😬

@@TeethTalk Yes it is.

Stop consuming sugar, and start using a phosphate mouthwash (either manufactured or diy) to rebuild your tooth enamel. It sounds radical, but it works. Your teeth are made of calcium AND phosphate. I rebuilt the enamel on a canine tooth where the tip had worn down to the dentin using a homemade trisodium phosphate rinse.
