The Tongue Test!
Redding Family Dentists Dr. Chris and Dr. Mike Nelson talk about oral hygiene, brushing, and how to ensure NO NEW CAVITIES! www.nelsonfamily.dental and www.denture.doctor
The Tongue-Test: Find the plaque, at the gumline. Feel the “slime”
Feel the “red zone,” the 2 mm of tooth, at the gumline. This is important and will be repeated after vibrating for cleaning to test effectiveness of your efforts.
Find the Light-switch - change it up!
When brushing, push firmly, AND softly. . .from different angles. If you are not effective, change the force and angle you use when brushing. This is like searching for a light-switch in the dark. You use care to probe and search, until you are successful in finding the light. Similarly, alter your brushing style, and pressure, until you achieve effective cleaning.
Daily: Evening, 4 minutes - 10 seconds/2 teeth, NO PASTE.
Brush like you are looking for the lightswitch in the dark. Put the brush over two to three teeth. Aim at the gumline. Light pressure, firm pressure, move the brush back a bit , and forward a bit. You will have cleaned the crevices and the smooth surfaces. NO PASTE because toothpaste desensitizes the tongue, you can’t feel the “clean.” We don’t put paste on floss, for disorganizing plaque, with a brush, NO PASTE is required. Floss: Be sure to clean between the teeth nightly as well!
Final Tongue-Test: If you have been effective, the biofilm, the “slime” will be gone. If you missed a spot, return with the brush and do something different. Harder, softer. Move the brush around.
Medicate, Refresh, Remineralize: NOW toothpaste & mouthwash
Whatever is appropriate for cavity prevention (fluoride, xylitol, antimicrobials) or stain removal (abrasive paste), can be applied after you have removed the goo, the slime, the biofilm.

      That is a good point, for certain patients the facial support provided by a flange (the part under the lip) is critical for esthetics ... so for those patients a non-removable option is NOT good... better would be a snap-on style denture.

    Hi, I just got my immediate dentures. I had my extractions a week ago. They feel very loose and hard and don’t fit in my mouth at all. With this change over time? I’m 34 years old I’m not sure if this helps. Thanks

    • @ChrisNelsonDDS
      @ChrisNelsonDDS Před 15 dny

      The fit of your denture is highly dependent on the impression taken before the extractions AND the lab technician. Even when we work with the best partners and do the nicest impression we STILL can have a denture that is loose. Be sure to go back to your dentist. They will help re-fit your denture! Best of luck.

  • @wolfnutss

    • @ChrisNelsonDDS
      @ChrisNelsonDDS Před 16 dny

      Thanks for the comment. Digital dentures are all the rage and can be done well if the dentist is an experienced denture doctor. However the gold standard on high end dentures is to use traditional techniques (impressions, bite registration or Gothic arch tracing, try in and delivery). If your dentist is skipping these steps you may want to ask why. They should give you a satisfactory explanation.

    I'm going through the implant process now for my front tooth (#9), and I'm debating whether or not I should get a temporary crown instead of a healing abutment. I'm leaning towards temporary crown, because it has the advantage of forming the gums ahead of the final crown placement, but I'm worried about the risks involved. Currently I'm using an Essix retainer, which is problematic for eating in public. I'm also mildly concerned about the cosmetics of it, since it is front and center, but I'm guessing that depends on the specific perio/dentist. I'm mostly wondering how risky is it to go with the temporary crown? Edit: I want to add that my perio says I can go to the temporary crown at 2 month post-surgery.

    • @ChrisNelsonDDS
      @ChrisNelsonDDS Před 21 dnem

      Hey well-trained, Dentist would have no problem making you a very nice custom temporary crown. The Essex retainer style temporary appliance is something that we do not do in our office unless the patient came to us from another office that already in place. Thanks for watching and good luck.

I'm only 30 and have had half my teeth worked on! It's frustrating that dentist never explained this to me. There are some good videos on here that explain how mouth breathing actually changes the shape of your jaw. Please make sure your kids are breathing through their nose properly. If you brush twice a day for two minutes, like is suggested, you will scrub your enamel right off. Use an ultra soft tooth brush, as there is such a thing as over brushing. Also if you need caffeine, you're better off getting it in supplement form.

    I obsessively brush and floss after I eat and after drinking anything that isn’t water but I always get at least 3 cavities between dentist appointments.

      Ask your dentist some follow-up questions... don't just let them say "you have cavities" ... ask them to teach you about how to change. Also check out www.carifree.com for some great info on prevention... :-)

    What is the best type of soap to carve? I'm asking for a project.

    • @ChrisNelsonDDS
      @ChrisNelsonDDS Před 3 lety

      The harder the soap the better. If you can't find hard soap, get a bar and take it out of the packaging for a while to let it dry out maybe for a few days. Some of the more "natural" bars are harder in my experience (than the stuff wrapped in plastic).

    I'm just 9 years old and I don't floss because in my country it's really really hard to find floss and that's getting worse and now I have a lot of cavities not a lot just a few every day I brush my teeth and every one month one tooth is gonna fall off soon and now I have 2 tooths that are gonna be removed and my teeth that were white are not white anymore I'm really scared to go to the bentist and im really scared that I well never find floss

      We've got another video that has ways to clean between your teeth without flossing. Check that out out! Also if you can get a visit with a dentist that would be amazing! Talk to your parents about these things if you can (or another adult) and see if you can get a visit at a dentist office. :-)

    Interesting. Can you compare this with Pentax NF2 loupe, in detail? The deflection angle mechanisms are almost the same.
