I visited my dentist after putting it off for 3 years because I was scared. Depression made my dental hygiene less than ideal and on top of that, one of my old fillings came out. I had a really big cavity where the old filling was and cried from the pressure cus they had work on that one cavity for almost an hour, but my dentist played BTS for me and wiped my tears while I got my filling, which was sweet. I feel refreshed after getting my teeth cleaned and honestly, maintaining a nice routine for my teeth has helped with my depression. Dr. Yoo and Monica are right when they say that dentists have seen pretty much everything and only want to help!! I hope this encourages anyone who’s been too scared to go :)

I wish they taught kids these simple things in school and at doctor appointments more often. Growing up in a small and not so well-off household, I wasn't taught of these simple things so I would brush back and forth how most people do and not in circular motions and other things. I also didn't floss well growing up because I wasn't taught it but I'm way better now. I'm still working on it but my gums are better than they are years ago!

I believe I'm not the only one who has a lot of uncomfortable and even traumatic experience going to a dentist. I'm glad that there are still great and talented dentists like you guys.
Keep doing what you're doing, Dr.! 😇

I have been putting off my dentist appointment. Your video and commentary are so heartwarming and supportive that I am going to schedule my appointment and be brave and go! Thank you, Dr. Yoo and Monica!

Great job you two on your video. I am a retired RDA as well as an instructor teaching dental assisting. Worked for an Orthodontist for 20 years. Then taught for 18 years. Once again great job!!!!

[TrishaHeron]

thank you for the soft and caring approach to your videos ♡ ♡
I remember as a teen I had an absolutely horrible dentist/assistants, who would harshly criticize everything, even saying to themselves in front of me "what isn't wrong with her teeth, " or accusing me of smoking when I've never smoked in my life (I did drink coca cola and tea a lot). I left the reception area crying. I was pretty stressed lol (had horrible acne to boot).
Luckily I registered with another office a year later and they were so unbelievably kind T_T I love going to them even now. It was with their recommendation that I went for a second round of braces. My oral health is so much better and I like to smile now. Thank you, nice dentists of the world~!! ♡ ♡

i have a fear of the dentist and therefore haven’t been in 6+ years. watching your videos gives me more peace and confidence to schedule a cleaning! i know i’ll have to get my wisdom teeth out but one day at a time 😢

[jasmineyeo]

Thanks for this informative video!! When i was a young kid, I didn’t know all of this. How to brush my teeth properly, floss properly and taking care of my teeth. I don’t brush them often as well… And now in my twenties, just grateful to have met a ethical, kind and helpful dentist! He has been my go to dentist, patient and never judges! ☺️☺️ I learnt a lot about taking care of my teeth and never skips my 6 months dental check up! Thank you!

The part about feeling judged by your dentist. Happened to me bc it had been over a decade since I had been. I just switched to my dentist and they are more supportive.

I had a dental fear for a long time as a kid. When I was 7, I had a very bad experience; I was afraid and didn’t know what the hygienist was doing, so I got a huge fear. The fear, or maybe phobia, was so bad that I cried and begged my mom not to take me, and somehow that worked and I didn’t go for 6 years. My phobia was huge like if anything dental related came up, I had to leave the room or think about something else. Over time, my phobia got much better, and I started to learn more about dentistry and how dental procedures are done, which made me actually consider becoming a dentist one day (I don’t want to due to the time and money it takes). When I was 13, I went back and I was nervous, but luckily I wasn’t fearful. I fortunately had zero cavities and my teeth were ok (which I was surprised due to me only brushing once a day and never flossing). That appointment actually made me love going to the dentist. My teeth felt so smooth and clean that I actually wish I could go every month. I’m 17 now, and I have picked up flossing again a few weeks ago, and have a great electric toothbrush, tongue scraper, and mouth rinse I use after flossing but before brushing at night. I just want to say thank you for making videos like this. I know dentists and dental hygienists making videos like this helped me get over my phobia. TeethTalkGirl is another creator I love to watch. Now, I hope I get to marry a dentist, as I would love for him to take out my wisdom teeth, as it just seems like a really funny idea and a bonding experience! ❤️

I‘ve had a great dentist ever since I was a child, he’s a family friend, and honestly now as a grown up he still is just such a cool dentist lol, super chill guy and so informative, I genuinely enjoy going to the dentist tihi
Also here in Germany all children in primary school will get a check up for free from a dentist, who comes in once or maybe twice a year, and I do think that helps a lot with keeping kids teeth healthy plus getting your teeth checked and professionally cleaned doesn’t cost anything at all until you’re 18, which again probably helps a lot with keeping the teeth healthy at least when you’re younger 🤔
Greetings from Germany

2 weeks in my dental hygiene program and Dr. Yoo releases this video. Life couldn’t be better

[elainebajaro]

Before I was so afraid to see a dentist and that made me lost two. But now, I am taking good care of it and not afraid to seek help whenever I feel not that good about it. Thank you for the information.

The biggest help for me was switching to a fluoride mouthwash, after I had a new dentist recommend Act at 18. As I kid I had so many cavities, even black rotten ones. And I haven’t had a cavity since then- 17 years!

[devika.b.ssujanan]
