Stop Gum Disease with These Brushing Techniques

[@TheTruthSpeakerTV]

Sir, I wish there were more dentists like you educating their patients in the US.

[@Candie2024]

He is one of a kind in the UK. There are many bad ones here too.

[@feesor]

Oh my God I’ve never seen teeth so bad. I do use toothpick cleaner type devices, similar to those TP type that you show us for in between my teeth they are made as an alternative to dental floss. I get mine at the dollar store I agree. When you ask a white person like myself you get, “I don’t know.” This is why I’ve always loved learning from other cultures other countries. I learned on my last visit. I had slight gum disease that I did not qualify for the insurance benefit, because I was accused of not doing preventative brushing.. that’s in your records, the prices of everything all of the work you have to have done are no longer discounted or covered costing someone thousands and thousands of dollars. I am very thankful for your video Mr teeth man

I started using your brushing technique close to three months ago. At the same time limited flossing to removing food fibre that is stuck. I also started using the toothpaste Himalaya Botanique (mint and contains xylitol) and reduced my fresh fruit consumption significantly. This past week went for a dental cleaning followed by a checkup by my dentist. He was amazed how healthy my gums have become - he said “best checkup ever, and keep doing what your doing”. This brushing technique is powerfully effective - thank you!

GUM PROXIBRUSHES, these things are at every supermarket & drugstore in the USA 😃My dentist & hygienist send me home with many, after my EVERY 6 month cleanings🤩. Love me my SONICARE as well.

[@wem-c9f]

For a long time I really tried very very hard to up my game at cleaning my teeth daily. I flossed twice a day, gurgled with water after meals or beverages, brushed my teeth daily but I still got quite a bit of tartar build up even though I saw my dental hygienist four times a year. I got very discouraged because it felt like the hygienist as well as my other dentist were doubting my efforts. I felt so frustrated because I was really trying very hard. Then another dentist suggested I bought a Sonic electric toothbrush when I lamented to him. I never believed in one. I loved the manual toothbrush BUT I took his advice. Game changer. Ever since I started using one, I don't get tartar build up anymore, if any, it is very minimal now. In the am, I just use a manual toothbrush with some toothpaste. In the pm, I usually just use it on my teeth thoroughly without toothpaste (because over-brushing using toothpaste can erode enamel) after flossing, then apply a pea sized toothpaste and brush a second time. My hygienist is so impressed this time saying there was hardly any tartar. And now I just get to see him once in four months instead of three. I am so thankful for the electric toothbrush!

[@tigre9271]

In my combat to fight bacteria in the gum pocket. I use 3 toothbrushes. I allow each toothbrush to dry 24 hrs. So i have a day , after lunch and a night toothbrush. I also add a capful of listerine Orginal Cool mint or original to my waterpik reservoir. I water floss prior to brushing and string floss after brushing. So i can minimize pushing bacteria into the gumline. I brush 3 times a day. I use a sonic toothbrush at night and a ultra soft manual toothbrush in the am and afternoon. String floss 2x a day and waterpik once a day. I also consume 1 Xylitol mint after every meal. I also have a collection of different size and shape toothbrushes depending on my needs at the time. Youd think we had a family of 6 by looking in my medicine cabinet. But it's only the two of us lol! My husband thinks I'm obsessed. And i am.

[@jessica3218]

I’m confused. I thought first you use the string floss and then you use the waterpik and then you brush your teeth.

[@tigre9271]

@jessica3218. At night, I waterpik 1st, then I do the 1st rinse, then brush, then do my 2nd rinse. Then I sometimes string floss after that. I say sometimes, because the last few times I did, nothing came out. But obviously if I feel or see something I will grab the floss. Then I do the last rinse. I do a light brush brush after lunch, focusing on the tops of my molars, as not to irritate my gums, and string floss as needed and do one rinse. In the morning I just do the rinses and brush. No waterpik or floss necessary in the morning.

[@lisagardner4814]

Sounds like Dr Ellie Phillips routine a bit ? Has the xylitol helped at all

[@tigre9271]

@lisagardner4814 Honestly, I can't keep up with the Xylitol. But I just got Invisalign and I'm going to try these Xylitol chewies instead. I have to use chewies anyway to set my Invisalign trays, so i might as well use edible Xylitol chewies.

You need to address the microbiome in the mouth. Plain cleaning isn't going to do much until you change the pH in your mouth. Bacteria will always grow in an acidic mouth. Diet is a big factor too.

[@KM-wv2og]

How do you change the microbiome in the mouth please?

[@marissakeynes2532]

​@@KM-wv2ogAvoid sugar, have a good diet with plenty of leafy green vegetables. Minimise eating and drinking between meals to allow ur saliva to interact with ur teeth and to remineralise them. After meals eat fruit that contain Xylitol such as strawberries or raspberries or put a pinch of Xylitol granules in ur mouth and swish it around. Xylitol stimulates the production of saliva and also eliminates acid producing bacteria.

[@pawanger]

@@KM-wv2og Probiotics. There are Oral Health probiotics you can take but those arent enough your diet needs to be heavy in probiotics (and prebiotics). As someone with Periodontitis I only saw an improvement when I routinely had two Oral Health Probiotic tablets, 10-15 oz Kombucha and plain Kefir mixed in with plain unflavored yogurt (not greek). Research how to improve your gut health and you will find all the answers you're looking for.

I am a 66 year old female and developed periodontal disease following having a total hysterectomy 20 years ago after being diagnosed with endometrial cancer. This type of cancer is an estrogen driven cancer so following my hysterectomy I could not take hormone replacement therapy which contributed to my overall bone loss which included my dental bones. Despite my excellent home hygiene I could not halt the progress of my periodontal disease so I opted to have periodontal laser surgery. As the years progressed despite my excellent home hygiene and getting my teeth cleaned by the hygenist 4 x a year my pocketing and additional bone loss recurred. After years of self research and trying all types if products and appliances, I finally found a regimen that has halted the progress of my periodontal disease. I don't think the products I use to brush, floss and rinse with are the main key to my success, but they do prepare a clean gum and teeth surface for what I think really is the key to my success which is the application of Manuka honey which I apply to my gums after I complete my cleaning regimen. Manuka honey has superb antimicrobial properties, and as a now retired R.N. we used Manuka honey in the hospital to treat festering infected wounds that did not respond to to other therapies with pretty good success. And since starting to use Manuka honey on my gum tissue my gums are pink, tight, and have increased in depth, and additionally I have not developed dental carries from using the honey. Manuka honey is expensive, but a little which I use a tiny bit on the tip of a teaspoon 2 x a day goes a long way. And pure raw Manuka honey does not require refrigeration and has an exceptionally long shelf life. Manuka honey will likely not bring back the gum tissue and bone loss I have already experienced, but I am pretty sure it is helping maintain what I have left.

[@monaattiah3976]

Wow this is fascinating! 😀 What level of Manuka honey?

Different angles of approach can be accomplished much better then string. The amount of pressure the of the “pull” will be stronger than water pressure.

I brush for between 5 to 10 minutes, very detailed and softly, I just think while I do it so I don't see the time go by, it is like a massage. Toothbrush with the softest bristles, manual. I like the feeling of clean smooth teeth after. I can brush twice a day or once or sometimes spend txo or three days without brushing. I use floss however I feel there is a need for it. And i also sometimes simply use my finger nail to clean the teeth, like peeling the stuff along the teeth, and I also use it to scratch off the tiny pieces of tartar that as they start building up. The tartar comes off easily. I went for a tartar removal for the first time in seven years and the dentist said I had nearly nothing to remove. Seven years. So yes, being soft, thorough and brushing for that long is what works. The body feels the care, the love.

And last the most important in my belief is an Healthy Diet. To consume more raw vegetables with fresh Fruits to increase your antioxidant level to keep your gums tight and clean. To stop consuming sugar, and to consume natural sugar from fresh Fruits. Berries, tend to leave a sharpness in your mouth and believe it may have a potential to improve your gum status. Best to take a good look into your healthy diet

Good information,and technique.

[@ThatGamerGirlSammy]

isn't this pushing bacteria under the gum? if it's angled that way? i was taught by my dentist to hold it the other way around , still angled but bristles facing the floor?

What do you think of using Hydrogen Peroxide as a mouth wash?

[@elisadiazburney6132]

Thank you for precious advice

Do you not have things like GUM soft picks advanced in the UK? They're awesome because the wire isn't exposed AND they taper. Resulting in lower chances of hurting yourself and fewer messing around with different sizes.

Oil pulling does work, also some folk are using coconut oil instead of T/Paste with good results.

I wish I seen this advice 6 years ago, honestly I hate the dentist, here is why. I have gone to two separate dentist to get my teeth cleaned and both of them cause damage. I went in with minor issues and came out with teeth cracking later on. One dentist office went out of business and the other one the dentist no longer work there. So as of today my back molars started breaking apart and to be honest now I'm afraid to really go back to the dentist.

I am 79 and have a healthy smile-lots of compliments. My secret is brushing with Dial soap. When I went to the dentist after not having dental insurance for some years, he said I did not need periodontics cleaning. I brush once a day, before bed. Recently I started using an electric toothbrush but for many years just a regular toothbrush and floss AFTER brushing

DIAL (as in BAR [or LIQUID])…SOAP 😱

[@mohdrazibabdraub9097]

hi there, could u pls elaborate on how u brush with soap?

[@CAwildflowers]

Why Dial?

[@simplyme_xoxo4465]

@kathleenwaters1139 Hello, that's really bad advice to be honest. Soap is toxic to the mouth. In fact when I was young I swallowed some soap and I went to the hospital for it. It's better to do hydrogen peroxide 3 % rinses or sea salt rinses

[@grammyj17988]

@@simplyme_xoxo4465 yes, you have to use good common sense judgment when reading
