I can speak from experience that tartar stuff is very very Bad!! I regret so much that I waited years to get that stuff off and get my regular cleanings,,, my only excuse was that I suffered from severe anxiety at the dentist but thank goodness it's gotten better 🙏🏻 leaving that stuff on there for years was big big bad mistake 😢

[@tekiidrekka-dn3kf]

Same, my parents never flossed or went to the dentist since they were very poor when they were young and they didn't need flossing due to their diet so I can't blame them for spoiling me and not knowing the cosequences of sweets and soda

[@KamzyOfficalchannel]

Did you lose any teeth after cleaning

[@daysoftheboo]

@@KamzyOfficalchannel thank goodness no but it did harm my gums so badly ,, I think that stuff that builds up around the the teeth can also cause gum recession because that's what caused really bad gum recession in the area where it was the most plaque

[@wg1751]

After the removal did the gums come back eventually or was recessed permanently

[@daysoftheboo]

@@wg1751 after the removal the damage was already done , currently I'm getting treatment every 3 months for periodontal because I saw the periodontist and he said I do have a mild case of gum disease but hopefully if I continue treatment and taking care of my gums from the outside with good oral hygiene and take care of my gums from the inside with good nutrition , hopefully my gum will get better and I don't have to have a gum graph

[@saniaz.4997]

At 1:50 when she said “those who breath through their mouth” I had to immediately close my mouth since that was exactly what I was doing 🤦‍♀️

[@TeethTalk]

SAME!!! I need to constantly remind myself :)

[@reecepeace5839]

Never heard about that concern. I’m more concerned about tarter build up than removal.

[@jessicalinbarnett]

I always get worried about my mouth (I have double teeth) plus I go back and fourth to the dentist I go back in 2 weeks 😭 so everyone please take care of your mouth 😥 speaking of root canal I go in to get my second one in a couple weeks that is

[@lajospapp258]

I had *terrible* calculus bridge on my lower fronts I thought they will fall out as they're removing it. The hygienist was very very careful, it still felt like she took a jackhammer to my teeth but in reality she really knew how to handle it. They did feel loose a bit but stabilized somewhat they might have to be removed this year due to other circumstances. But had I refused to get the cleaning sessions done they would fall out and cause me more and more problems anyway.

[@joserivera7287]

Love your channel

[@jessicalinbarnett]

Super helpful that’s for sure 😊

[@TeethTalk]

thank you so much for following along!!!!

[@bearsfan648]

Always amazing content, thank you

[@roachtoasties]

I took calculus in school and got a "D." That's why I never became a dental hygienist. I once worked in a restaurant. Customers liked tartar sauce with seafood. I don't think we got it from scraping it off of people's teeth. :/

[@Mr.SpongeGlockAK47Pants]

Do crowded teeth have a likely chance of being loose? Or as strong as if they were straight

[@bridgetscotney8837]

Overcrowding can make it more difficult to keep clean due to diffulty reaching all the areas especially if they overlap other teeth. It is really important to attend your appointments with a dental hygienist who will clean them professionally and more importantly teach you how to keep them clean at home. Hope this helps.

[@phoenixnoire2435]

Fun Fact: Calculus (or tartar) is a protective outer layer for your teeth. Cavities have to get through the calculus before they get to your teeth. I didn't have any built up on my back teeth, and I got cavities on two of those and had to have them removed. The dentist doesn't want you to know this because they have a vested interest in your paying them at least twice a year. They'll tell you whatever they have to get you into that office to pay them.

[@TeethTalk]

Calculus/tartar isn’t a protective layer-it’s quite the opposite! Calculus forms when plaque (a sticky film of bacteria) hardens on your teeth. While it might feel tough, it acts as a rough surface where more plaque and bacteria can accumulate, making it harder to clean your teeth properly. Those bacteria feed on sugars in your diet and produce acids as waste (yes, bacteria poop!). These acids are what damage your tooth enamel and lead to cavities. When calculus builds up, it creates pockets around your teeth where bacteria thrive, making it easier for cavities to form beneath or around the tartar. Regular dental cleanings help remove this hardened buildup to prevent decay and gum disease. Dentists recommend cleanings not to make money, but because unchecked tartar can lead to serious dental issues like cavities, infections, and even tooth loss. So, keeping calculus off your teeth is one of the best ways to protect your teeth! Hope this helps!

[@Eddardstark9308]

I’m so glad I won the genetic lottery and produced very very little plaque

[@bryanbravo563]

Peace love teeth. Thank you so much

[@TeethTalk]

PLT! thank YOU so much! happy almost 2024!

[@gabbybg]

I know this is unrelated to the video, but how long after a molar extraction is it okay to whiten your teeth at home? I dont want to irritate my gum and hinder any healing.

[@itsaaronlolz]

My regular dentist referred me to the periodontist and the specialist didn’t even notice. I went back to my regular dentist after trying to help my microbiome

[@240iBMW]

So that’s why your teeth feel loose after a cleaning ?

[@DezFay]

For how long? I’ve never had a cleaning before..

[@AngelBell-91]

No matter what you have is it very rare for your teeth to become loose and fall out from going a while without a cleaning? Jw because I have had one very busy year so was unable to go to the dentist for a cleaning for a little over a year. I stressed like crazy for weeks since I thought I had periodontal disease or gingivitis. Come to find out I just needed a cleaning so I stressed and cried for no reason.

[@one234569and10]

AND all this cleaning will cause PAIN... it always does.

[@Crusader1984]

It’s part of it but it’s needs to be done

[@jessicalinbarnett]

Yes 😭

[@TeethTalk]

it shouldn't hurt! here's my video that explains and how to ask for numbing gel -- hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laXJf2Cje86Wjq8

[@suspiciousbird487]

I had a deep cleaning, and it was not painful. Any time it got a bit tender, I just asked for more anaesthetic

[@bobbyfagan7760]

I never knew about this until my new dentist, my previous 1was terrible

[@laurenschenck5355]

Hey it’s my online teacher from dental assisting school 😅

!!! :) :) :)

[@Ley07-w6i]

Lower front teeth aka incisors

[@raincitywoman]

When I had my most recent cleaning - my hygienist said my flossing is good for the easy to reach teeth, but for the teeth in the back I am not getting in there good enough - and she called out numbers 3 and 4 when they did a check on all my teeth. I now have to come back for a cleaning every 3 months. She suggested interdental brushes, and a waterpik - but I did not get a clear answer. Would these be used in ADDITION to my normal string floss? Is it normal for there to be bleeding with the interdental brushes, or am I using them wrong?

[@riskiriskidots5006]

You should do all of them Brush floss and waterpik You basically want to disrupt the bacteria growth Hope it gets better 💙

[@suspiciousbird487]

I went to a periodontist a week ago. Some of my back teeth had a 4. I was very nervous, but he said that a 4 was fine in the back since gums are naturally thicker in the back. At least that's what he said

[@joannawinters6592]

So if I have calculus on my lover front bottom but not a bridge, so it's like on each tooth a bit but still the teeth are not looking connected then it's safer to clean, i guess?

[@Gubalicious]

Lover front bottom... 😏

[@gamer-gc2pi]

Unrelated question. When using an electric toothbrush while not owning a tongue scrubber tool. May I clean my tongue using my electric toothbrush or should I Be using the appropriate tools instead?

[@thereadingsylph]

I think she mentioned in another video that you can also use a spoon to scrape and clean your tongue, it works fine

[@KieraCameron514]

Calculus is a type of math relating to change.

[@RinaDasler]

I feel like my teeth getting more yellow with few months of Invisalign 😢 those glue bumps placed so badly that I can’t even floss between 2 teeth. Glue just sits there & cut floss when I try to floss.

[@alishaf5901]

My teeth did get more yellow tint during my Invisalign treatment. But once I was done I whitened my teeth and I’m very happy now

[@MohamedBardouni]

Thanks

[@cosminbryant1243]

Now we hear the tooth of this 😂

[@effiezammit]

I think tartar is holding my teeth together

[@gheeg5858]

im worried about paying cash to be told i have to pay someone else to do it.

[@bubblekittea]

i had horrific life-ruining teeth movement after removing a tiny bit of tartar and my dentist didn't catch my wisdom teeth pushing my teeth out of my mouth, now i'm going from perfect, never needing braces straightness to teeth removal and years of braces at 29 T_T

[@Teenywing]

You are misinformed or unaware of how teeth move. A bit of tarter being removed was absolutely NOT the cause of anything. Also, your teeth do not move overnight. It takes a long time. You would have had years of cleanings (most people go twice per year) to discuss wisdom teeth and the pros and cons of removal. It’s your responsibility to keep track of your body, get care and look after things. You can only blame so much on others sms I sm willing to bed your dentist mentioned wisdom teeth way before they became a problem. Maybe you weren’t listening.

[@RinaDasler]

It’s you getting old. Jeez 29 obviously everything starts to shift & gravity pushing you down 😂

[@oceanbreathessalty9486]

I was looking for how to get rid of it myself, I cant afford a dentist. At least I know now its hopeless.

[@TeethTalk]

it's not hopeless! there are affordable and even free options out there -- such as dental and dental hygiene schools -- here's my video that explains how to get treatment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXyro4qceq1sgKs

[@kkeegan32]

I got some dental tools and removed it myself. I know this wasn't smart, but was my only option at the time. I still need a deep cleaning below the gumline, but l did remove the tartar. I was gentle with myself obviously and took several days while watching TV to slowly work on each tooth. It eventually all wore away. No, my teeth didn't fall out either. The tartar was so calcified it felt like tooth, but it wasn't.

[@PthaloGreen2]

Oh Lord. Watching these videos is giving me anxiety!

[@brucegold5046]

Don't watch this Video while eating😀😀😀.

Hi

[@TeethTalk]

hi!

[@nearestyoutube]

Video request please. Gum recession has happened. What can be done to restore gum line? Thanks if you do x

[@weirdandlazy1]

Gum grafting.

[@TeethTalk]

yes! grafting! here's my video about that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qneZdpqJgpqHoqM and if it's not too severe... there are ways to keep it from getting worse and I have a video all about that coming soon! it will be called something like "if you have gum disease... do this!" and it includes gum recession tips as well! stay tuned!

[@eabaendallbeall7959]

I have heard of a procedure called pin holing, it sounds less intrusive then gum grafts.

[@deepb249]

I went to dentist he did cleaning soon I got tooth pain he send me to other dentist who pulled some nerve and then I lost 2 teeth in the place where he did remove some nerve! Now I am looking for dental implant

[@Abdullah-ayman98]

good

[@missyofficial365]

🦷🦷🦷🦷❤❤❤

[@SkullMercenary-rz6lb]

How do you even allow it to get to this point jeez?

[@The_Drippin_Don]

How about the cases where the patient's mouth is absolutely fucking filthy with teeth being loose even before plaque removal began? I watched some videos like that and wonder if the dentist could be held accountable if teeth actually fell out due to patient degenerate unhygienic non-existence oral care

[@erwintalpay6649]

ljepotooooo :)

[@Heretomakeyouthink]

Bs you messy.

[@constanceeke2664]

Hello! I have a question if you don’t mind taking a look🥹 so is it possible to have a gum swelling that isn’t an abscess and shows nothing on a X-ray? Hence no need for antibiotics? Thankss 🥹
