The fact that there’s people online who can just say whatever they want and people will believe them bc they’re in a dentist office wearing scrubs

Pfft, who needs flouride from toothpaste when you have fluoridated tap water

Okay I need to remember to floss mouth wash then brush. Cause I've been doing brush floss mouthwash

That's how I do it! Floss, mouthwash then brush.. But people always said i was wrong

I've learned more about how to treat my teeth efficiently from this channel than from any dentist lecture from any dentist appointment in my life

I now wanna see a room full of Docs from the same career just different schools to see how they'll argue over how to do the same thing.😂

We need another video on this topic!

I look like a rabbid dog when im done brushing my teeth, I need to rinse 😆

Floss, rinse, brush! Been doing it in that order for years and can’t remember the last time I’ve had a cavity 😌

Someone: says false fact Bentist: well actually

I’ve always just read the instructions whenever I get a new brand of mouthwash. My current brand, the blue “Crest: Alcohol Free” version, tells me to use it after brushing instead of before.

My friend had great brushing habits but always rinsed after. His teeth were transparent from mineral loss. I got him to switch to a fluoride rinse and now his teeth look great!

Me: laughs in fluoride enhanced mouthwash.

Me who uses mouthwash: “I don’t know who to believe anymore 😭”

I respect the hell out of your for providing good information to the people that follow you. Its so important to have people like you one social media. Keep it up sir

My brother would never rinse his mouth with water after brushing his teeth and I always thought that was so gross. Now I feel so confused.

That lady sounds South African. If she is it explains a lot. I'm South African and MOST (not all) of the dentists here are a nightmare. I have so many stories of getting really bad treatment from the dentists here. To name a few: one cut so deep into my gums that I had to get stitches (she atleast treated the cut for free). One cut my gums and was FREAKING OUT over the blood which freaked me out, she kept saying "omg it won't stop bleeding, omg what do I do" (I bleed very easily and A LOT). One numbed my tooth then she IMMEDIATELY started working on it, she didn't even give it a few seconds to get numb then got PISSED at me for saying it hurts. One injured a nerve in my mouth when injecting me which caused the half of my tongue to be numb for over a year, when I went back to him to ask wtf is going on he got annoyed with me and just brushed it off. My one friend had to get a tooth extracted, they put him under anaesthesia and then PULLED THE WRONG TOOTH.

I just got floss and mouthwash for the first time in years after reuniting with my mom after running away and looked up what steps to do it in. Thank you for confirming I did it the right way Bentist, you've honestly been a big reason I've started taking better care of my teeth and thank you again for taking the time out of your day to make these videos.

If you prefer to use mouthwash after brushing, then use something like Act Fluoride Mouthwash, or any Fluoride mouthwash. Then you're not washing away the Fluoride because you get it from your mouthwash!

me who instantly cleans my mouth with water after doing my teeth because I hate anything slightly minty: 😳 Edit: glad to know I’m not the only one 💃🏼

Here's what all my dentists in Sweden say to me (I ask a lot of questions): 1. Use floss daily, ideally after every meal but at least each morning and night. 2. Fill the whole tooth brush with tooth paste and brush for 2 minutes. The reason being because it takes up to 2 minutes for the flouride to absorb into the enamel and a pea sized amount of tooth paste does not contain enough of the flouride. 3. Use mouth wash in addition to flossing and brushing because the flouride in the mouth wash helps you additionally to help absorb into between all the hard to reach places. 4. Even if you use all of it step by step, tooth decay may happen because it is entirely biological and depends on your genes, some people simply just have better teeth that dont get cavities easily, some get cavities very easily. But skipping taking care of your teeth will just promote even more damage even if you have teeth that easily get cavities.

Was told by my dentist to use the BLUE LISTERINE. Then after brushing teeth don’t rinse with water, rinse with the mouth wash and don’t eat or drink for 30 minutes.

Bentist id like to personally say thank you for this efficient way of oral hygiene. The amount of plaque this gets rid of is literally life changing. My gums have never been healthier. Thank You Bentist and I hope you have a blessed holiday season.

"don't rinse out with water" Me who can't do that even after 27 tries: *do you have any other way?*

I was with him til he said “Don’t rinse with water after.”

This has changed my whole routine-

Hey as someone with hEDS... Thank you SO much for clearing this up for us. My kids most likely have it too and ive been feeling so so so terrible about their teeth showing signs of EDS.

So… Floss Mouthwash Brush??? Please do a routine video! Would be awesome to see routines for specific concerns (if you would need to change up the order) For ex: routines for people concerned with tooth decay/periodontal or gum concerns or sensitive teeth etc 🤘

I grew up rinsing, so I thought movie characters who just spat were weird or just doing it for the show (like those who wear shoes on the couch). I think I learned the truth a couple years ago, so I do try now, but sometimes you just need that water to rinse any remaining particles ya or get rid of the minty flavour if you plan to eat soon

I had this exact conversation this morning at the dentist and asked if I should be flossing first I thought I was being stupid so I’m glad to hear that

I have been facing this issue for almost a year now and also dry mouth. I first thought it is from mouth so I got my teeth cleaned and the dentist assured me that it will cure the bad breath but it didn’t. I have gerd issues but that is normal from a while and i also think i have sinus because i usually have running nose when i get up and a kind of irritation in nose. At work I have to talk to many people and it kills my confidence when they rub their nose. I just forget what i was talking about and it is creating problems for me. I brush my teeth twice a day. Eat chewing gums entire day and keep my mouth hydrated by drinking water yet this shit isn’t going away. until I meant Dr Emovon on KZfaq. May your days be full of good health just like you help me got rid of my bad breath and acid reflux problem. Thank you for doing a good job Dr Emovon on KZfaq, I’m grateful...

How I always thought Brush- gets the surfaces Floss- gets inbetween Mouthwash- rinses away the gunk you got out from between teeth and freshens breath

I've felt so strange doing this, but for the past few weeks i've been doing exactly what you said, floss-mouthwash-brush-no rinse, and my mouth has never felt cleaner

you sir just saved my life.

Interesting. Thanks for the info! I always had - brushed first, floss second, mouthwash last. Will change immediately!!!

I have been doing this routine (floss, mouthwash, then brushing) for years and people always looked at me like I was crazy. It never made sense to me to floss after brushing.

Most mouthwashes have flouride.... So there goes the washing away argument. Also, I rinse with water and my teeth are fine. Very nice according to my dentist. So....

Can we just have a moment of thanks to the bentist for helping us have better teeth

My mouthwash is flouride-based but if I ever can't get it this is great info! Thanks 😊

I have always since I was a child brushed, rinsed, flossed, mouthwash. Mouthwash usually has fluoride? Also I’ve never had a cavity and have very healthy teeth. No plaque build up, no “tooth” decay. Feel like y’all make this more complicated than it really is

My dentist told me the same thing: don’t rinse after brushing your teeth. Especially when using specific toothpaste meant for specific concerns. The “medicinal” ingredient doesn’t get washed away and it continues working.

Dude you scared the shiz out of me 🤣🤣🤣 you came out of nowhere.

My orthodontist told me to only use mouthwash half an hour after brushing so i havent even been using it cuz of how inconvenient it is. Thank you bentist for saving my life and money for this extremely expensive braces mouth wash

I actually use mouthwash before brushing. Try it it makes a huge difference. Also try to push the mouthwash between the gaps of your teeth when you swish it. I can’t explain how to do it but when you have it your mouth you will know what to do (that’s what he said).

I always rinsed after , so get any bits left behind from brushing.

Mouthwash, floss, then brush. The mouthwash gives your mouth a once over and residue stays between your teeth to aid in the effectiveness of your flossing. Brushing to complete the routine removes anything the flossing loosened up, and then brush your tongue as a final step. I believe this is the most logical and effective explanation and I will die on this hill.

Omggggg i legit always wondered what the proper order was! I’ve always done it the way you suggested was best. Yay me 😁

I HIGLY NEED THE BENTIST TO BE MY DENTIST! LOVE YOU BENTIST!

I stopped rinsing with water after brushing and my teeth have felt significantly stronger ever since. I've tried to get my family members to see the way but no luck so far.

Floss, Brush, Clean Tongue, Then Rinse. I have the best breath ever💯

🤯 I’ve always flossed, brush, then rinsed. Now I have to remember to switch it around.

I’ve asked so many dentists this question about should we floss first or last and they always said it doesn’t matter. But I always felt there was an right answer. I’m so glad you answered this question I’ve had for years!

So.. floss FIRST, THEN mouthwash, THEN brush your teeth? They've been teaching us wrong this whole time :(

bentist is my favourite KZfaqr fr

Just found out not too long ago that my wife of 10 years doesn’t rinse after she brushes her teeth. I thought she was a wild one because I’ve always rinsed after brushing. I’ll have to show her this lol

The bentist is so iconic that if a dentist says something wrong all he has to say is PUHHHH and everyone is on board with his statement

If I dont rinse my mouth enough my mouth feels like the dessert and my through fills up with mucus. WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM NOT SUPPOSED TO RINSE? I WILL LITERALLY CHOKE ON MY OWN SPIT.

the only problem i had with mouthwash was it stained my teeth (used sensodine mouthwash, not an offbrand one) when i went to the dentist to get it cleaned she laughed and said it's not for everyday use but for when you have an infection, ulcer... been just brushing and flossing ever since

Woah I never knew the right order to do these things. I thought it was brush, floss, mouthwash.

I love how she straight up sits there and lies to everybody 😂

i’ve been doing floss, brush, then mouth wash so tyy!

Flossing before brushing or mouthwashing makes the most sense to me and is what I’ve started doing this past year.

Usually I brush thoroughly even tongue then rinse using mouthwash moving it around my whole mouth for a few seconds then rinse using water. I often go to the dentist for deep cleaning and he’s told me I have healthy clean teeth

It depends on the mouth wash you use, if your using a Fluoride one to protect from cavities, you should floss, brush, and rinse (ie mouthwash) because you’re not supposed to eating or drink anything for 30 mins. For other mouthwashes floss, rinse, and brush.

I rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash, brush then rinse with a fluoride mouthwash. My dentist loves me :)

I never knew that lol thank you!!!

I just use mouthwash separetly along with flossing. Brushing morning and evening & afternoon usually do mouthwash + flossing.

What if your using a mouthwash with fluoride after brushing?

I just love the calm and confident way the first person said what she said when it was basically wrong

You all forget that saliva dissolves tooth paste and from 1450ppm how much is there left in concentration? If there is 1 part tooth paste to 3 parts saliva it's already less than in mouthwash (500ppm). I never understood this theory. We don't use a lot of toothpaste, we use way more mouthwash, it won't dissolve as easily with saliva

I do floss, brush, interdental sticks to floss again, fluoride rinse. People who find it gross to not rinse after brushing should try brushing, rinsing, and then doing a light brush with a bit of toothpaste, which you don't rinse away. You get rid of the dirty toothpaste foam and get a fresh coat of toothpaste with the fluoride.

So I’ve been brushing wrong this whole time??? I’m disappointed with myself

When you said not to rinse after, do I just spit all the left over toothpaste out then and leave any tooth paste on my teeth there?

I just learned this from my dentist a few months ago. I never knew. My teeth look so much better. I always did brush, floss, rinse. Now I do floss, rinse, brush.

I love how she was so confident In her theory

Corsodyl, a pretty common mouthwash in the UK, says on the label that toothpaste can stop it working and to use it at a different time of day. So rinsing with it would be a bad idea, as toothpaste gone, mouthwash no work = :( If you are looking for it on the label, peel back the main label and read the "Check before you use" section.

I was solving my math problems too quickly so I brushed my teeth to slow my thoughts down. Thanks fluoride!

I love how blown away he gets by this “ nonsense “ 😂😂

That's one dentist I wouldn't be scared of

yo really? gonna change up my routine thanks man.

i actually did use mouth wash after brushing so thank you for this-

That's the order i do it, and i feel like people think it's the wrong order. This is my sign to keep up the good work. 🎉

She should have explained why. According to my dentist and many others, mouth wash can cause tooth decay because most contain alcohol which is extremely drying to the mouth and you don’t want a dry mouth because it causes tooth decay which is why mouth breathing is very bad for teeth too. So using a mouthwash that does not contain alcohol can prevent this problem. My dentist recommends a mouthwash with xylitol because xylitol actually makes you produce more saliva and in tern helps prevent tooth decay and if you can go two whole hours without eating or drinking anything (even water) after using a product with xylitol than your mouth will start to create its protective bio which is the good bacteria and coating for mouth and teeth. This is what my dentist told me anyway. Also you can get a mouth wash with fluoride in it and that prevents washing off the Fluoride left behind from tooth paste when you swish mouth wash as final step. I find children’s mouthwashes often contain fluoride and xylitol. My dentist and some dentist on KZfaq recommend only using mouthwashes that contain alcohol temporarily if you have a mouth sore or infection and say a salt/water rinse is equally effective but should only be used temporarily too and not everyday as a routine.

He just confirmed the way I’ve been brushing my teeth for years is indeed the best way! THANK YOU!!

I love the bentist!!!! Please pin my comment if you believe that everyone should brush their teeth twice a day! 😁

Gonna start doing it this way. Thanks teeth daddy

Oh that’s very helpful ty!

But what if the mouthwash also has flouride ?

Well, there are mouth rinses that have fluoride as well, so if it’s like listerine or something probably yes it won’t help but if it’s ACT and has stuff in it more for tooth health I’d assume that it’ll help something. Dentists offices literally give you little bottles of this kind of mouth wash, it’s weird they’d say “mouth wash” so generally here

I noticed since I stopped rinsing after brushing, my teeth are whiter and my breath stays fresher longer

I stagger my dental care. Brush, wait 10 minutes, floss, wait 15 minutes, and then use mouthwash. But this is alternate days only.

This guy is so animated, it’s hard to pay attention to what he’s saying.

The 3 dislikes are from people who did what she said and didn’t believe the Bentist Edit: 17 dislikes now Edit 2: 18 now sheeesh Edit 3: 19 now whatttt and also are the people that are disliking this commenting on my comment-

Interesting! I use a prescription-level fluoride toothpaste and every time my dentist recommended I use a fluoride mouthwash as well I always asked if it would rinse away the toothpaste and never got a real answer. Well, my toothpaste requires me not to rinse anyway so I'll have to try this order out!

The transition man. ! Hahahaha

Then there’s me who brushes, rinse, mouthwash, then floss. Calmly deciding not to change routine.😌😌

okay so basically floss, mouthwash, then brush. i’ve been lied to my whole life bro 😭😂

Gaddamit i keep learning new stuff everyday now. Thanks!

I’ve always wondered when ymto use mouthwash thanks bentist!❤

Oki….I’ve now been told at least 5 different ways to “Actually” or “Properly” brush my teeth…this one does make the most sense tho…
