I’ve recently started brushing before, and water floss after. Gotta say, brushing before breakfast is so refreshing!

[@Allan837]

I used to brush my teeth right before I would leave for work. Thanks to you I now brush my teeth right when I wake up!

[@albertoskytwins3527]

I've always done it before, not because I thought it was better, but because it feels gross eating right after I wake up with my mouth dirty

[@iMELDAYoo]

Facts

[@YT4Me57]

After a night's sleep I cannot start my day without brushing my teeth. Teeth are too cruddy, even if you've brushed before bed (which I do). After I eat, I'm swallowing more, drinking fluids, etc.If I feel my teeth need a cleaning after, I rinse with water and/floss if needed.

[@alyssa2410]

Always brush after the meal & drink a glass of water when you first wake up. While sleeping, you produce vitamin b12 in your mouth and the first glass of water you drink gives you that dose of vitamin b12. You brush after the meal to remove any food particles so they don’t sit on your teeth and begin to cause decay.

[@odeleya1768]

I normally brush before, but occasionally have to brush after and it always feels wrong, almost like I can feel my teeth screaming for help lol. But sometimes my mornings don’t go as planned and I have no choice. Thanks for the info❤

[@tricialawrence8738]

I had my kids watch the video and they are blown! I just explained like you said, brushing twice a day is best and let’s make sure we do that.

[@neelomach]

Hello, I've been watching many of your videos and I've got to say that thanks to you, for the first time in my live I wake up everyday without bad breath or that strange ache in your mouth when you wake up in the morning

[@pagrant]

I brush before

[@kristfur]

I brush when I wake up. After breakfast I will swish with CloSYS. Also, I'll chew PUR gum (xylitol) periodically throughout the day. Usually after lunch.

[@gurugamer8632]

Can u post link of the gum

[@LawrenceCaplan]

Electronical brushing right following consuming a glass of lime water works well for me in the mornings, then likely a simple flossing following power-breakfast with Pancakes, Eggs, Rye Toast, Fruits and Vegetables

[@serendipitysisters84]

How often can I brush my teeth? I used to brush them a lot, but people always told me it is probably not good. I recently stopped brushing more than twice a day because I was worried about my enamel. Is there a video on how often to brush??

[@natalieshreve9129]

Also wondering this

[@m.k.q9736]

Your videos are gems girl!😍👍

[@TeethTalk]

thank you for watching!

[@courtney.22]

I do it before 😊

[@mattmichaels5195]

Good info. Thanks!

[@jdog1985]

Before and after

[@lilythesunrise]

before so i can feel fresh and ready to face a new day

[@Catlove388-s1i]

I brush once I've been doing it since childhood I've tried to change it but the habit just doesn't stick

[@TeethTalk]

you'll get there! you got this!

[@iisakpalmer7394]

Set phone reminders. This is what I use to set new habits in.

[@terrybu]

so helpful!! thank you so much!

[@SpongePedulum]

My real question is if it's okay to drink water before brushing in the morning, just water. I often wake up dehydrated so sometimes I'll take a sip of water before brushing my teeth

[@bridgetleonard6702]

I have always brushed my teeth before breakfast. I recently started to question if is was necessary because I started Invisalign so now I need to brush after every meal.

[@TeethTalk]

same! I'm in Invisalign right now too! and I do both in the morning! :)

[@queencrimson9604]

I have a clear aligner too (brand clear correct) and I also brush after lunch.. so that’s why i will still brush after breakfast, because I don’t want to brush more than 3 times a day 😅

[@bridgetleonard6702]

@@queencrimson9604 I am now brushing about 5 times a day between my 4 meals and first thing in the morning.

[@zachwesterhoff]

They should make an orange juice and toothpaste flavored toothpaste!

[@Art.and.Hamsters]

That would taste funky

[@TeethTalk]

😂😂😂

[@serendipitysisters84]

Can I brush before and after? I feel like I need to brush after or I will feel gross. I hate having stuff on my teeth. I used to always brush my teeth anytime anything entered my mouth because of the teeth feeling

[@serendipitysisters84]

About the acidity, I know of this, but I like a clean teecth feeling and sometimes waiting isn’t always an option. I’m confused why you can’t drink a large glass of milk and then brush? Does the milk and rinse with water before brushing not bring down the pH? I feel like it does, but I could be living a lie 😭

[@FirstShay]

If u wanna be an over achiever and brush before and after breakfast.. and then before sleep is it still two minutes each time?

[@Novi-h7w]

I didn't get one thing! If you brush before breakfast, you are technically leaving some amount of food (including bread) on your teeth surface for a long time! Isn't it a bad situation???

[@preeper_]

Is it ok to have breakfast immediately after toothbrush

[@flyingmolamola]

I prefer brushing before waking up.

[@christineblack4654]

I tough brushing 3 times a day was the best.

[@kevin19358]

2:56 and 3:46, No it's not okay. I highly recommend brushing teeth every morning or shower and brush when I wake up, before eating breakfast, so that the mouth is fresh. After breakfast, rinse your mouth with water, rinse your mouth, so that the food is not stuck in the teeth or shower and brush teeth, so that the mouth is fresh and drink water, so that the teeth is healthy. Still, don't brush teeth after breakfast, no good for the teeth and bacteria. Just brush teeth or shower and brush teeth, before breakfast, so that the mouth is fresh. After breakfast, rinse your mouth with water, so that the food is not stuck in the teeth.

[@ricardol.1223]

I heard that brushing your teeth too often a day could also be harmful. So is it too much if I brush my teeth twice in the morning and once or twice during the day and before bed?

[@TeethTalk]

here's my "over brushing" video -- hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJTQg2l4h56AotE

[@aditi0124]

Hi new to you channel, great content! Let me know if you can use electric toothbrush if you have permanent retainers and if so how?

[@johnselvinbolante9936]

This vedio is very truly helpfull..she is the godmother of the tooth..to avoid toothdecay...hahah

[@Supersoccerchic]

Wow so, the Gosselin kids should have had way more cavities since they brushed their teeth after breakfast all throughout their kid years. I'm shocked they didn't have cavities.

[@daysoftheboo]

I do the best I can but sometimes I can't wait 30 minutes to brush my teeth after breakfast because I really gotta head out the door but I don't really eat acidic foods with breakfast , hopefully that helps my teeth Speaking of acidic foods is kimchi bad for teeth? It's supposed to be really healthy for gut health but is it harmful to teeth enamel ?

[@serendipitysisters84]

Can I drink milk before brushing to lower pH? Sorry, my last comment didn’t show up

[@serendipitysisters84]

Ohhh okay, you said swishing with water!! I drink milk and then rinse with water, so I should be okay right?

[@franknostrings1117]

Your personality def belongs on you tube not just working day job as hygenist. The world deserves to know you and see your gorgeous face.

[@NazariaVazquez-i2n]

Brushing your teeth is important, no matter what, but I think brushing your teeth is before. So, Whitney, Do you brush your teeth before or after? 😀 let me know.

[@TeethTalk]

right now before and after because I'm in Invisalign! but usually only before without the aligners :)

[@Seiferboi]

I've always heard that you're supposed to wait 20 minutes after eating to brush your teeth to safely avoid the acidic foods issue. Should I change it to 30 minutes?

[@iisakpalmer7394]

I've always been told 30 minutes. I have no idea what is correct but if you can do it, I would wait 30 minutes just to be safe.

[@serendipitysisters84]

What about flossing before or after you brush? I have so many questions 😭😭😭

[@TeethTalk]

either order works! as long as you're using proper technique for both! here's a video of mine that explains: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5rQf6RsaJWSodU hope this helps!

[@Tricker17]

In one old video, you said to brush with just water when you wake up, do you still recommend this? I ask this because of teeth sensitivity when brushing with toothpaste first thing in the morning

[@TeethTalk]

yep! that works! as long as you're brushing with paste twice each day :)

[@laurenschenck5355]

Are older dentists aged around 60-65 better than 31-35 year old dentists?

[@kimberlyearp1009]

Is it possible to brush your teeth too often?

[@TeethTalk]

only if you're using improper technique -- here's my video that explains: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJTQg2l4h56AotE hope this helps!

[@sofiacausa1161]

This is the same video lol

[@TeethTalk]

added about the pH though! in the original, so many people had supplemental questions -- so I hope this one is more comprehensive :)

What are your thoughts on Dr. Ellie Phillips ?

[@Zoey_Van]

That lady is a scam! Stay away!

[@christineblack4654]

you should talk slower so we actualy have time to hear, record, analise and understand and process what your saying, you get what I mean. I literally have to back up sometimes lol. why the speed talking? relax, we are here to listen.
