🦷Prevent buildup on bottom front teeth with a great routine🪥 Get FREE access to the 5 must-have elements for an impeccable oral health routine here: bit.ly/free-oral-hygiene-routine-guide

Man, Whitney has the most insanely perfect teeth I've ever seen. I've seen in office teeth models used by dentists that don't look even close to that perfect.

Thank you for making these vids. They're very informative. Go Cubs go!

Thank you (for your channel and advice). So, I brushed my teeth growing up having seen smokers teeth and that had an impact. I was very fortunate I didn't need a brace etc. However, as I grew up I would go through the motions, not doing the detail needed. I was awarded with whitish teeth, no bad breath or pain, so I felt I was winning ... Now 35 Y/O and with the dentist shortage here in the UK experienced a tooth split. It was crowded a tooth and just enough to cause a symptomless cavity under the gumline. The front of the tooth was saved and the back packed with dentist cement as a temp fix. Now saving (money) for a root canal from February. Since this I have invested and taken heed of the basics again. I pay for my dentist while on a four year NHS waiting list! I also found I have bruxism. Having a stressful job, my default is to clench my back teeth and being single, no one to mention it. I didn't Iink my jaw ache and the tension headaches waking up to my teeth. Now I have a sleep guard. I really do feel the difference through your channel! P.S My last hurdle r.e Bruxism. Any advice on remembering to wear the guard. I find myself napping after work and I'm sure my brain doesn't pick and choose ... A long story but I've been wanting to say 'thank you' for a long time.

Thanks for these tips! A few tweaks can make a huge difference! 😊 Do you have any particular advice for preventing plastic composite fillings from getting stained? I have one in my smile zone I want to keep looking nice as long as I can. Maybe a video topic if there's enough material! Thanks for all you do ❤

Thanks for teaching all about Dental hygiene ❤❤❤

I like your enthusiasm!

This is very interesting. I always figured it was better to brush after breakfast because it seemed counterproductive to brush and then eat. Now I will brush with just water when I wake up and then do normal brushing after breakfast.

Knowledge, talent and beauty with a touch of humor: These videos are amazing. Thank you, Kristen Wiig !

I had to have a root planing/deep clean treatment last year, but it was especially bad in this area because I have a fixed retainer which has been in place since my teens, and I’m 40 years old now. It was so hard to floss there that I just didn’t even try. Now I am diligent about brushing/flossing after I eat and using the interdental flossers in this area.

Thanks 🙏 a lot

Would you be able to make a video on different dental hygiene instrumentation in the office? And the different cleaning techniques?

You are the cutest dental hygenist!

Great information. What I can't get my head around is the EXORBADENT cost of all dental services!! I don't know who the greediest people are: dentists, vets, or lawyers. It's getting ridiculous.

Really great advice. If I had one thing to say to young(er) people it would be this: pay attention to your dental hygiene. Paying for professional dental hygiene appointments in your 20s, 30s, and 40s is an investment that will pay dividends in terms of comfort, happiness, and physical well-being far out of proportion to the money spent. No matter how well you brush and floss, you still need to regularly get professional dental hygiene appointments. Your hygienist will not only get your teeth spotlessly clean, but they'll also be able to identify potential problems long before they cause irreparable problems. And this is an important point: IRREPARABLE damage can happen to your gums and jaw bone tissue if you allow tartar to remain in place. On a microscopic scale, think about tartar as tiny saw blades constantly irritating your soft gum tissue, leading to inflammation. Once inflamed, the infection can lead to loss a jaw bone tissue. And this cannot be repaired or replaced. 21st century dental medicine is a truly fantastic gift. Take advantage of it. If you do, you may well live into your later years free of the misery of tooth loss, dentures, bleeding gums, etc. that bedevil so many middle-aged and older people today. Dental hygienists are your friend. See him or her on a regular basis, and you'll be a much happier person.

Great video! I did not know you needed to wait 30 minutes after breakfast before brushing. Have never heard that before.

I always get a good amount of buildup there because I have the permanent retainer across the bottom and it's the one that goes straight across so it's hard to floss, I've been debating getting it changed to the one that like zigzags so it'll be easier to floss. Do you recommend this and does it make a difference which style it is?

Lucky to have such amazing teeth. Hope I can get mine right. I receding and a lot of tarter. I’m so scared of dentist so I don’t go and I have tmj

Whitney!!! Yesss! Those front lower teeth can be tricky!!

Super interesting that you say to brush before eating- I’ve spent 30yrs being told to do it after to get rid of food debris. Would I be correct in assuming this is to protect the teeth against what you’re eating?

Pls make a video on after cleaning process

Sadly, most people can't afford regular dental cleaning and assistance..

Hi whitney. I just discovered i have a broken tooth in the back. I tried to call a dentist but its the weekend. Crazy thing is i never felt tooth sensitivity. I been using floride rinse every day. Now im nervous how long i had this. Cause i can see a hole. Its like orange looking. I also floss but i guess this molar i have been neglecting. I brush my teeth but not as much as i should, and i usually use just water on the brush. Curious if ive been having these headaches from this, i thought were stress tension headaches. Might have been a sinus infection all along.

I used to have tartar buildup almost two to three weeks after my cleanings. I started using Listerine Ultraclean Tarter Control with Zero Alcohol right before I brush and now I don’t have buildup anymore!

I spend extra time and effort in this area and it’s where I have the most gum recession now😬 I brush, floss, use inter-proximal brushes, use that pointy rubber tip thingy, and periodically use a dental scaler if I see plaque.

True story. I had invisalign and after my bottoms were straightened no more issues.

I have this issue with my back bottom teeth. my dental hygienist just told me to brush there longer. I had to get a harder toothbrush head for my sonicare electric toothbrush AND i have to use it longer than usual. It's so weird.

Vitamin K2 and mouth tape at night. Since I've been taking 180mcg of vitamin K2 (in MK7 form) twice a day the plaque on my lower teeth no longer builds up as it used to.

I don't brush my teeth often enough bc depression and ADHD but I also have a permanent retainer on the inside of my bottom teeth and when I try to brush there, the toothbrush handle hits my top teeth so instead of getting that 0⁰ angle which would be best for getting plaque off, it's like 10-20⁰ 😭 I do use interdental brushes when I'm able to and they seem to help a bit

I got some heavy build up there from drinking tea for a year. I drank tea 2 times per day for a year and it made that area behind my lower teeth look yellow-green. I've got a lot of it cleared up but still have work to do. I don't drink tea anymore. Tea will stain your teeth a lot worse than coffee.

My dentist recommends brush 3 times a day, plus floss and interdental brush = perfect clean teeth. 😁

Interdental brush !

Thanks to your videos I wash my teeth 2x a day, mouthwash 2x, and I use dental floss 1x before bed! My teeth are much cleaner and my mouth smells nicer!🎉❤🎉

The only thing that helped me was using Listerine mouthwash(original w/alcohol), after brushing.

ive removed tartar by myself (no instrument just nail and patience) ive had years of neglect toward my teeth due to deppresion and yet i had like nearly no tartar only three bottom tooths and it was only at the bottom of them. I removed it in like in 20 min. Is there a reason i didnt have a lot of buildup?

I spent 20 years as an English teacher for executives in one on one conversation classes, always stressing it's not what you say, but how you say it. In your case, I have heard all of this before, but it is the way that you are saying it which gives it so much more weight. You have a gift for speaking and if I allow it to penetrate my thick skull with repeated viewings, I will be much better off. Thank you for being here for us.

I'll still brush after every meal. I can't wait until bedtime to brush.

also i said this before and ill say it again you remind me sooo much of jenna marbles! ❤

K2D3 removes tartar. K2 x 300mcg per day. D3 1000IU

What to do with spaces among teeth?

What toothbrushes do you recommend? I keep trying different ones and I only occasionally find one I like.

I'm about to get clear aligners to straighten my teeth. Any tips on oral hygiene with clear aligners? thx

PEACE LOVE TEETH 🦷❤️🩵🪥✨

3:11 - Oh man, my toothbrush doesn't fit sideways like that lol. Jaw too narrow. Makes it hard to get the bristles directed at the gum-line at the right angle. BUT, that's where my new electric toothbrush comes in that I'll be trying later.

I discovered xylitol right after having a dental cleaning. I would develop plaque immediately after a cleaning. Why? Because my dentist removed my entire mouth microbiome while at my dental cleaning. She suggested having a deep cleaning every three months. Well nine months later no plaque???? Why???? Because I didn’t go back to my dentist. Instead chewed Pure gum after meals about six pieces a day. At night I used Closys ultra sensitive mouth rinse after brushing and I 0:15 never flossed in nine months. I have gum recession due to the trauma your gums go through when flossing or using those dental flossers with bristles. My two bottom front teeth were loose and I was told they would only get looser. Guess what they are no longer loose. My gums are healing due to me using my toothbrush bristles to massage my gums. I now have less gum recession around those two loose teeth. Oh I I healed a cavity with my own saliva. Yes when you chew xylitol gum you can fill a cavity that hasn’t progressed through the dentin of your tooth. It takes about four months to remineralize using your own saliva. Do your own research and know that I am telling you the truth. My teeth nine months later feel just like they did right after a cleaning. You know that feeling that tells you you don’t need to floss the day of your cleaning. Yes that feeling. Just learn to stop snacking between meals and you will never need another dental cleaning.

Any advice for people with bonded retainers?

is it normal that lateral incisors are placed a bit behind your central incisors, shouldnt they be side by side like no one is placed a tiny bit behind the other

I try my best but my cerabal palsy makes it hard

I have to use floss picks in the button front teeth as there is a small gap that I can’t get to with interdental brushes. Any good brands that carry micro sized ones?

I used to use HARD toothbrushes and didn’t get the buildup I now get, when all I can get is MED or SOFT Brushes.

Do you recommend oil pulling?

Can I get rid of plaque without deep cleaning?

Peace love teeth ❤

Hey! Hope you're fine, I wanna consult with you about my teeth can how can i contact you please let me know!

I also has the same problem. Is it harmful to clean it with needles?

Try charcoal toothpaste, natural and organic it's like a miracle

Just had my 6 month checkup yesterday and my hygienist commented on how well I was doing. She spent a minimal amount of time using the water scaling thingie. I am water flowing better (along with regular flossing), plus I use one of my cycles with my electric toothbrush to clean behind teeth, both top and bottom. You taught me the proper way to floss, after having done it wrong for 60 some years. Thanks for your straightforward information.

Is it safe to get toothcap om molar tooth??? Won't this procedure damage my adjacent good teeth???

How do u clean with fixed retainers? And got painful gingivitus back of teeth molars

I brush before breakfast but not before coffee =(

I floss right after eating with floss picks. I don’t get tartar or cavities 🫶🏽

How about using a water pick?

Difference among Plaque Tarter & calculus??

Saliva secretion has reduced recently in my case, what could be the reason...I feel my mouth dried up on waking up...

I finally found a new dentist, unfortunately, their most recent new patient appointment wasn't until August. D:

Whitney, I used to use dental picks. But the other day I did floss with regular dental floss & my gums were bleeding in more than two places. I did floss correctly with regular dental floss too. I guess it is better to floss with regular dental floss. In a few days or weeks the bleeding should stop, correct?

Strong Kate Foster vibes 😂

Saliva is the most important part of a healthy biome and cleans your teeth. Saliva is what you want to promote to have a healthy microbiome. "Saliva, or “spit”, is an extracellular fluid produced by the salivary glands in the mouth. Saliva carries important enzymes that break down food particles, which is the first stage of the digestion process. It also delivers minerals and other nutrients to your teeth that teeth use to remineralize"

Hi

1. Why use just water in the morning before breakfast. What does that do? 2. When you mentioned about flossing after eating high carb snacks, do you have to wait 30 minutes to floss?

Is it true that eating 🍑 can balance your mouth’s PH?

How long to wait to eat if you brush before you eat breakfast??

How about a WaterPik ?

I floss after every meal and before brushing in the morning and at night. It’s a habit I made during my treatment with clear aligners and it has eliminated the tartar build up I used to get on the back of my bottom front teeth. 😊

I was a dental assistant. I am a home scaler 😂

My routine isn’t complete without using mouthwash.

Hi from india

How to floss with crowded and crooked teeth, can’t get the floss through the teeth!

Following an extremely low carb keto or carnivore diet has eliminated this problem for me. In Fact sometimes a floss pick will dislodge any plaque if I have it because it’s so weak.

Needing cleanings every quarter and getting them pd for - not in same universe At $150 a pop Impossible

I do brush with water in the morning....

2:00 Why not with toothpaste?

Brushing teeth, scraping tongue and oil pulling every morning first thing. Thank you, Ayurveda!

Tartar can be removed with a curved stainless steel needle approx. 1mm thick and sharpened to a pyramid.

My poor mother has periodontist and has already lost 8 teeth and she’s loosing more… she’s in her 40’s so she’s not that old yet 😅 she is suppose to receive deep cleanings every 3 months but they are so incredibly expensive that she cannot afford to do it. 😢

Anyone else think this girl is so cute?

I chew up a MilkBone every night. Keeps my teeth spotless.

Are you familiar with xylitol? 🤔

🫡🫡🫡

These same teeth in my mouth are kinda long (gum recession). Everything else is fine. I was using a medium brush. Now I brush gently with a soft toothbrush. A visit to the dentist wouldn't make sense for a little bit of recession. These teeth suck!!

☮️❤🦷

I don't know if you guys respond to comments. So, I goot root canal treatment years ago. The doctor did root canol of 2 of my molar teeth and placed a bridge crown. The enamel on dental crown vore away and exposed the steel. It became uneven. when I bite it only puts pressure on one teeth. I also feel slight pain on this teeth when I bite these days. Everday when I press the sides of the gum at this bridge teeth. I get some kind of puss? I can also feel the crown bit lose if I observe close. Could this be the sement that is coming off as puss or its bacterial gum infection? I can only see the puss when I press the gums. I do think I need crown replacement because one of the teeth not touching because of enamel wore off and the pain now I am getting may be because the biting putting pressure on my other teeth.

am i the only one who never has this issue? lol.

Just stop stressing and be grateful that you actually have some teeth.

funny how all those youtube docs talking about teeth problems - have all fake teeth ^^ That means - you can care about ur teeth but you will never have beautifl teeth without invasiv treatment

I love the inferior lateral movement of your lower lips while talking.❤.

I hope you have a good day, know that JESUS died for you and loves you so very much!

I get the most tartar behind my low front teeth, so my dentist recommended those tiny brushes, and I think I got the smallest size, or maybe they didn't have any smaller, but it still can't go through my teeth, it collapses 😂 sometimes even the floss gets stuck for a second
