Are you sure all hydroxyapatite toothpaste is banned or just a specific kind? I believe it’s the needle shaped nano particles that are banned?

It’s ok but it took a long time to see only a small improvement. I prefer Dr. Jen’s, so far fastest results.

No not a completely broken tooth.

haha, it's just an all-purpose balm called Egyptian Magic. amzn.to/4cfHBap

It really is more effective than a regular little floss pick, but yes can be pricey.

Brushing with an electric toothbrush won’t move your teeth. It’s possible if you are brushing too hard, you may be causing some gum recession which makes it appear that you have gaps..

Waterpik is not a replacement for floss unfortunately. It’s like washing dishes. It’s not enough to just run them under hot soapy water, you need to wipe the gunk off with a sponge. Same with teeth. The water pressure is not enough to remove the sticky film of plaque on our teeth, it needs to be manually wiped off with floss. It’s the same reason why it’s not enough to just use mouthwash; you need to actually brush your teeth.

Wait I’ve never heard of glycerin or xylitol causing discomfort. Those are two ingredients that are usually used to help ease discomfort associated with dry mouth… can you tell me more how you found out these two ingredients cause you pain?

Try Eucellus toothpaste, it is glycerin and xylitol free products that really seem to help people with sensitivity issues.

Sure I will add that to my list. I’ve talked about bad breath before but I can’t find a specific video for it. I’m not making new content for the rest of the summer so it will take a hot sec, but just to get you started, there are multiple reasons for bad breath, including gut issues, sinus issues, tonsil stones, periodontal disease, cavities, infections. You have to first figure out what the source of bad breath is (may be more than one thing) and then tackle that. Stay tuned for a full video :)

Yeah I typically go with the gentle setting

Aw thanks 🥹 check my music channel 😅 @kristinamartsenyak

I generally brush in the morning just to freshen up, not exactly a thorough session. That being said, we still accumulate gunk on our teeth in our sleep - the biofilm layer that naturally forms on our teeth is undisturbed all night; if we don’t disrupt it with at least a quick brush in the morning, plaque forms a lot more quickly throughout the day.

I didn’t like how long it took for me to see results with Boka. Biorepair is their own brand, I doubt they would “recommend” another brand..

@@askahygienist Biorepair is an Italian company, and Boka is an American company. They are different.

I personally felt I got better results with Dr. Jen’s, but my husband likes David’s!

@askahygienist Great, I'd like to use Dr. Jen's but it doesn't deliver to my country so I'll go with David's then. Thanks for the feedback!

So happy to help! :)

Oh, interesting recommendation. The rule I know/was taught about implants is you definitely need to floss them. Biofilm can accumulate on the implant and cause irritation, and that’s not something a water flosser is able to remove. Need to manually wipe it off. Usually when you have an implant replacing a molar, you are bound to have more space between it and adjacent teeth, causing more food to get stuck; but as long as you stay on top of flossing everything out, should be fine. Glad to hear you got a good report about your gums recently.

Good point haha. I’m glad it worked for you!!

I haven’t gotten around to it, but I’m also worried about ordering because I hear there are a lot of knock-off versions..

What exactly. How to do it or talk about benefits/if it works?

How to do it :- 1. Take a spoon full (1 tablespoon,may depend on the size of mouth) of any cold pressed oil (coconut, sesame oil ,castar oil but not refined oil or mineral oil). 2. swish it in your mouth for about 5 min to 15 min. 3. Spit it out in your garbage bag or drainage (it may block it in cold weather) Benefits:- 1. Reduces overall bacteria content in mouth 2. Improve facial muscles & blood circulation to mouth 3. Remove light staining 4. Helps in bad breath Other benefits :- (These benefits are seen in many people but I don't really understand how it works) 5. Helps in gum recession 6. Helps in removing early cavity 7. Detoxify blood through blood vessels in the mouth (this particular one is a claim). 8. Also helps in digestion (claimed too) Personally I have experienced all the benefits except 7(don't know if it works but my face acne and sinus blockage has reduced a lot). Tips:- 1. It could be done in the morning before brushing, generally after drinking water. 2. For cavity prone sesame oil + clove oil would be best but Coconut oil is already. 3. On the first day your facial muscles may be sore but Try it for a week. 4. If you can't swish it around for 5 min due to soreness, Try swishing for 5 sec and rest for 5 sec then repeat the cycle. To specify things it does not benefits me in any direct financial way or I don't own any oil producing factories 😊😊 For any other queries feel free to ask it out.😁😬

According to studies, rod shaped is safe and most effective. Yes needle shaped is dangerous.

You find that older people are always more credible? :)

Not at all but they tend to just recite what they have learned from their limited education as though they are experts.

Giveaway for this video is over, sorry! Stay tuned for more opportunities to win :)

There is also an element of safety. The stronger stuff can mess your mouth up if you don’t know what you’re doing, which is why you have to go through a professional. It’s the same for renting certain heavy equipment or staining products for flooring (recently discovered this with our own remodel haha) they will only sell to professionally trained/certified people who know what they’re doing because the stuff they’re using is potentially dangerous.

@@askahygienist I'll just remind you that if you don't know what you're doing, drinking too much water can kill you. 🤷

Hmm, it’s possible a Sonicare may work better because it’s not as bulky with the slim oval shape..the other thing to keep in mind is when you brush in the back, make sure to close your mouth halfway and shift your jaw to open up the space near the wisdom teeth a little more.

What about it :)

@@askahygienist is it a good electric toothbrush?

It’s better, you never reach the steadiness of a electric, it’s also easier to use (yes). Just hold the angle and move the brush without brushing self.

I’ve used a manual toothbrush for majority of my life; even now I don’t always use an electric. A manual brush coil do just as good of a job if you use it correctly. The problem is most people don’t, so an electric helps achieve a better clean. That being said, you can use an electric incorrectly and cause more damage than good. It all depends on how you use whatever brush you have :)

I haven’t heard of or tried it :/

Interesting 🤔

Ooh glad you found something that works!
