I prefer water flossing because you know there's no strings attached

[kingofallworlds]

As a medical provider on the other end, the best medicine is the one the patient takes. Something is always better than nothing.
That's why I use water flossing myself

[Nitro]

I used to floss religiously. I always carried around floss in my car, backpack, nightstand.... it annoyed me NOT having floss, because I flossed ALL the damn time. That being said, I always had cavities growing up. Great genes when it came to teeth I guess... but alas, it was my life.... until I got a WaterPik; it has now been 13 years, with ZERO cavities. Take that information for what it's worth.

[boblangill]

For me, water flossing works because it's something I actually do. I simply can't generate the motivation to mess with string flossing no matter insistent the hygienist is.

I love the way this video takes you through every possible teeth cleaning procedure but NEVER actually talks about "Water Flossing vs. String Flossing - Which is Better?" - the title of this video! HELLO?!?!? 😁

[thegood]

Went to a "dentist" recently, who chastised my wife and I for our use of sonicare water flossers, that we had used DILIGENTLY for years, with no dentist reporting any issues, claiming that "only" floss would be suitable. They found "issues" that no other dentist had ever found...suspicious. The dental industry is getting as bad as the legal industry lately as for trustworthiness.

[joejoe-lbbw]

The title is misleading? So, which is better? I know there is a bunch of "depends on", but maybe a summary at end would have helped? Otherwise, excellent video.

[PJCode]

This is the kind of doctor I want. None of the "you're doing it wrong" non-doctors do.

[wywarren]

Doc took one for the team in that demo and actually made his gums bleed 🥲 Thanks for the knowledge!

As a recently retired dentist, I'll add my 2 cents. I strongly feel flossing is much more effective and thorough, than other methods. Other flossing the floss between your fingers tight and short. Move too a fresh section, as it starts to shred. and most important to avoid snapping it into the gingiva, don't push straight up -- or down -- move the floss it back and forth, as if you're sawing you way through.

[leonardmilcin]

Personally... I do both. I do string first to dislodge any larger pieces of food clogging the space between teeth or some harder things sticking between teeth and the gum. Then water flossing to clean the rest and disrupt the plaque. Then electric toothbrush. Then mouthwash with antibacterial properties.

[tanyaboyd]

Thanks for helping me understand my mouth, I never had a dentist to take time to let me understand what's going on. I have had dentist making mistakes from filling a perfectly fine tooth to 2 failed root canal and tooth discoloration. Always hoping to find a dentist that's worthy of my trust and mouth. Thanks so much for your presentations.❤️

Water flosser also cleans out deep pockets that floss can't reach. I was a daily flosser and suddenly my rear teeth went from pocket depths of 4 to 6. Bought a water flosser and within 6 months they were back to 4. Now I have none deeper than 3. I floss with a little mouthwash or hydrogen peroxide mixed in the water....

These are the best videos ever. I forward them to my friends and family. As a result my dental hygiene routine has improved as I look forward to maintaining my original teeth for a very long time

[boramma]

I knew pretty much everything you said already but I still kept watching because you’re such a great speaker! Thank you for the lovely lesson

[bigburg]

I've been flossing with string my whole life wrong and I'm 23 😅 I'm glad I'm starting to actually find this stuff out now instead of later on.

[samanthaasher]

I use both but the water flosser has made a tremendous improvement in my gum health.

[onetuliptree]

Great video, I've been stepping up my dental hygiene game over the last year, and this is everything I want to know in one video.

[Dori_]

Excellent video Dr. Brett Langston. I use water flossing at night, and string flossing after meals followed by brushing. I like to brush my teeth using a Sonicare toothbrush with a pre-rinse mouthwash called Plax. I noticed over 10 years ago that Sonicare + Plax removes any stains from coffee or other liquids. Also, it prevents any plaque accumulation. I always receive compliments on my care from my dentist and dental hygienist. Unfortunately, Plax is harder and harder to find.

When I was young, I didn't know floss existed. Now I have two bone graft implants. Thank you so much for all the info. I needed it 50 years ago. 😊😊
