Great info Dr Nemeth. I just used my waterpik for the first in all my 67 years. It felt so good!

I think when leaning down into the sink I will place a hand-held mirror. Can always wash the small mirror. Having worked for oral surgeons I learned to not dry out the mouth and gums. So, I tend to avoid mouth rinses with drying agents like alcohol. I buy mouth rinses at natural food stores. They have things like neem, clove, and fennel. Very refreshing and moisturizing for the mouth. The waterpik I have is an all-in-one with sonic toothbrush, charging station, waterpik and multiple waterpik attachments. We've had to replace the rechargeable battery twice on the sonic toothbrush because we cannot find another all-in-one like this to replace it. We love it!

I love, love, love my water pik! My gums have receded and food particles get stuck, especially around my top wisdom teeth. This is a particularly difficult spot to brush, and floss, but my water pik gets all the stuck food particles out easily! Food left behind by brushing will cause that area to become sensitive and also hurt if not removed quickly!

I use waterpik and floss twice a day been doing that for over 6 years now… don’t forget tongue scraping just my opinion

Thank you Dr Nemeth. You taught this Aussie a thing or two about flossing with a water flosser. I've found piks hard to floss with, considering how small/tight gaps are between teeth.

[@oseasviewer7108]

You need to find the correct size pik - they come in a range of sizes from very fine to quite large bristle, the latter used by people who have a large number of crowns in their mouth. And of course age changes the alignment of teeth in the mouth. Consult your pharmacist/periodontist/dentist. Final note ,warming the pik under the hot water tap softens the bristle and makes a smoother transition between the teeth.

Just to add to that wonderful video. One day I decided to look down the handle of the water pick with the nozzle removed and I saw something black. I flushed the pick out with out the nozzle by adding hydrogen peroxide in the reservior. I noticed copius amounts of black crude coming out of the water pick. I cleaned it several times until nothing came out. The next day, more came out so I threw the pick in the garbage. I have had sensitive gums before that with red tissue around the teeth, and I blame that. Since then I have not used a water pick but if I do, I will toss the thing probably once a year to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the tutorial. I have just ordered a waterpic, by my hygienist's recommendation. It's helpful to see such a tutorial. I have severe malocclusion, 2-impacted wisdom teeth that have been acid-whithered by past GIRD. Still, I have been able to keep my teeth. I have needed deep cleanings, to recover from periods when I couldn't afford a professional cleaning. Chlorhexidine has helped keep the results between cleanings. I also use floride rinse, kids bubble-gum flavor! Oddly, I think that using woven floss has worked much better than non-woven, but it's really hard to find. Gum-Care floss used to be the best floss; now it's off the market. I am using Hyden's woven now. I buy 6 at a time. Whereas Gum-Care floss was softer yet fluffier, Hayden's is more compact, yet still porous. You can feel it against your teeth. It seems that the fibers cut under the soft kind of plaque, and then the plaque becomes trapped in the floss. I use at least 24" of floss, advancing as I go, with the aim to get the plaque out of my mouth : ) ] I just ordered a waterpic to help, too. Thanks for the tutorial.

What numbers (pocket depths) would be in the "danger zone" and therefore cause a contraindication of using a water flosser? I obviously don't want to worsen my situation. I have had horrific dental care and won't be going back, so need to learn all I can, and I am learning much from you. Thank you.

[@MsChifran]

You can use the waterpik regardless of pocket size, however you're simply at more harm if you happen to hold the waterpik in a way that you are shooting the water downwards into those pockets. You will benefit from using the waterpik as opposed to not using it at all. If your pockets are over 5, i'd speak to your dentist. Anything 4+ should be something you seek attention to anyways. If you have large pockets (5+) I'd recommend going in for a routine cleaning, using interdental brushes, mouthwash atleast twice a day until your your pockets shrink - which might not take long at all after gums attach again. Basically 1-3, Completely fine to use waterpik. 4 - please see dentist, use waterpick but as the dentist recommended, not downwards, horizontal. 5+ - see hygienist or periodontist for routine cleaning and they'll let you know when you can start using this. A lot of people typically see a vast improvement with waterpiks, and their pockets shrink.

[@MsChifran]

@@MightyGimp I completely empathise, and I myself have suffered from deep pockets. After cleanings with the hygienist, I recommend not being completely concerned with cleaning the pockets themselves. With time and good hygiene this pockets should close (your gums should reattach) , it is the periodontists/ hygienists job to be able to clean these deep areas. As the patient, you merely focus on between the teeth and below the gumline that is reachable for you. No scraping, nor facing your tepe brushes downwards. You're just trying to disrupt the plaque, which with mouthwash twice per day and brushing should help dramatically. With the waterpik, as much as you want to target the areas deep within, simply lower the pik so it glides along the gumline. No downwards, but directly infront/back. What I recommend: 1. Start by using Tepe brushes to break plaque. I see quicker improvement if you pour some mouthwash into the cap and dip the brush into the mixture between each tooth. 2. Waterpik to help remove food particles that still remain trapped/have been broken by tepe. 3. Brush teeth for 3 minutes with electric toothbrush. If you simply do this, your pockets will shrink naturally without going "deep" into them. I've seen improvement from numbers of 7-8 to 1-3 in 2 months of great routine. You wont be able to reach these pockets with brushes, piks, and toothbrushes and thats ok. Thats what gum scaling and planing are for.

Thanks so much for this video, Dr. Nemeth. I love your channel, because you seem like a reasonable person who isn't afraid to think outside the box. I am trying to take my gum health very seriously given its relation to overall health, and being at home more often affords me an opportunity to do so. I have a few questions. 1. I have been experimenting with interproximal brushes, and picked up the GUM flossers you recommended. They're great, but with all these interproximal brushes, sometimes I feel as though the stiff bristles on the brushes are irritating my gums, and even potentially introducing small tears in the gingiva. I don't recall noticing any bleeding, but I'm just curious if you have any recommendations to minimize irritation, or if it's not really a cause for concern. 2. My mouth is apparently on the smaller side, and I have great difficulty reaching the back of my teeth with interproximal brushes (and even more so with floss). Flossing swords that are angled in a certain way have worked the best, but I really would like to get an interproximal brush back there if I can, as I do notice a lot of inflammation and bleeding when I do clean that region. Any tips for proximal brushes that would be good for this? I have trouble visualizing the area, and after a few attempts the proximal brushes are bent. 3. I would love to come to your clinic, but I don't believe my dental health is quite so dire currently. Do you do referrals to periodontists that you think are talented and keep up with the latest research? I'm based out of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Thanks for all your efforts. I tell my friends to watch your KZbin and spoke specifically about you to a friend of mine in Michigan. Keep up the great work.

I usually chew a xylitol chewing gum after brushing my teeth or whenever I can't brush my teeth. I t does a great job when it comes to cleaning and extracting particles between your teeth. Another great mouthwash is putting a drop of clove essential oil and a drop of rosemary essential oil in a glass (120 ml) of water. (a glass is enough for a day or 3 times teeth brushing)

Yeah I’m not putting bleach in my mouth
