People are getting mad about Dr. John not rinsing after brushing, but when I asked Kriss ai if that's okay, it turns out it's actually recommended by dentists so that the fluoride has more time to work and protect your teeth!

Some people grind their teeth when they're sleeping, or even when they're not sleeping, including clenching. All of these can lead to gum recession. Unfortunately, bruxism while sleeping can only be countered by wearing a mouthguard.

Hi Dr. Yoo, could you explain and demonstrate, brush away from the gums? Thank you so much for making time out of your busy day for posting all the helpful videos. Thank you and keep up the great work.

After wearing braces for several years, I've had to relearn how to brush and floss. It's a hell of a lot quicker now.
No interdental brushes needed and flossing is over in like 30 seconds rather than like 2 mins.

[hendismutandwa]

thanks for the advise, just wanted to say I am from southern africa and our grannies used to actually tell us to brush our teeth with charcoal/ash I don't know if it's effective or not but its surely traditionally practised in some parts of the world!

[CPZ]

Omg I committed 6/10 of the things on the list. Thanks for such an informative video, things they don’t really teach in school! 😢

[ellenko]

This was so helpful! Thank you! I had noticed gum recession and i had no idea my electric truth brush was the cause 🥲. I never understood why my gums were receding when i take good care of them.

[DrDiddleDank]

Thanks for coming back and reminding me to keep up that dental hygiene Dr John

[vspectra]

I got gum recession since early 20s from a bunch of orthodontic movement twice. Then I would always brush hard too. Glad to see this video since I've been using soft bristles manually for years now and it's been working great. No more bleeding gums. I had a sneaking suspicion hard brushing with hard bristles (despite package saying soft) weren't helping and my dentists never even mentioned anything about how to help with my gum recession. Asked my dental hygienist if brushing hard could have added to my gum recession and she said no.

[xelashieh]

Thank you for the video Dr. John, super informative! One follow up question - what is the correct way if we are not supposed to rinse with water after brushing? I feel like I need the water to get rid of the uncomfortable tiny debris in my mouth after brushing. Or should I be using mouthwash to rinse? Or not rinse at all and just spit?

[natalieshumate]

I have been watching your videos for a few years now and it’s actually because of your videos that my dental hygiene is so much better. Thank you for educating us! I truly appreciate it.

[SelenaY.]

It's crazy how so many people don't shot the toilet lid. Overall I love how you educate online especially for people who can't afford dental insurance or someone like me who has dental insurance but I kept on rescheduling 3x but something always came up so I stopped rescheduling

[qianjin]

had to rewatch for educational purposes….
1. what is canine recession and how do i know if i have it or not
2. how often should we change out our non-eco friendly plastic tongue scrapers; how to maintain a stainless steel one
3. laifen sounds a bit chinese… any plans to rebrand to something more korean?

😂😂😂i know it’s still early in the morning but my adhd brain just wants to know lol

[andremulia]

Thanks for the video, it really helps. Is there a way to treat gum recession? Or what would happen to the teeth?

[moviegoerz]

Try using a miswaak stick, Great for teeth and gums

[HeavenlyBlueSkyward]

Dr. Yoo, you mentioned about rinsing with water is bad? Did you mean we have to wait after brushing our teeth before rinsing our mouth? What do you rinse with if we can’t rinse with water?

[Leslieyr]

thanks for sharing! 😊 I wish you would post vlogs and shorts every week 😄 I miss you here🫶🏻

ayo imma buy the toothbrush and stainless steel tongue scraper for my fam.

your videos have been really helpful in explaining things to my immigrant parents. they lived in a rural village and back there, healthcare is bad. their teeth are a lil worse fir hair and they've giteen some taken out. i'm trying to encourage healthier habits so they can at least take care of what they have. thanks fir keeping it simple and not shaming those who are ignorant.

I might get the water flosser for them as it seems more convenient for flossing even though you should technically do both.

Have a lovely day/evening ❤

If we are not supposed to rinse right after brushing, how long do you recommend we delay rinsing? Also, do I follow up with a mouthwash after, or before brushing? Since some mouthwashes contain fluoride is it okay to rinse with water and then do the mouthwash to maintain the benefits of the fluoride? I find it hard to not rinse after brushing. The taste of the toothpaste just sitting there just feels unnatural.
