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.

Why with implants you don't have facial support like you have with transitional dentures.thats what I worry about.😊
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.
If we can’t call you our dental hero, can we at least call you our first-round draft pick? You’re the MVP of the dental world! 🎉

Ur a dentist not a doctor geez

Hallo
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
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.
My dentist did digital impressions for my immediate dentures. They said I don't need a wax rim or plate try in. Is that normal to not get some kind of try in . Figure without one they will fit even worse
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.
That's how they made my immediate denture & it fit like a glove, I absolutely loved it. My permanent denture they did the old fashioned way & I swear it looks like Halloween costume teeth. They refused to fix or remake it so I wore my immediate for over 2 yrs.
Great Ill buy a ticket to savramento...will you cover my plane fare
🙂
@@ChrisNelsonDDS Thank you Doctor...I don't even know how far savramento is lol
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.
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.
We do temporary crowns next-day or same day of surgery.
Nice
Thank you 😊
It looks so good esp the color i had something similar happened but I fell as a kid and I still have the root in my gums for some reason I'm trying to get an implant but my 3d xray says I have type 4d bone does that mean I need a bone graft?
I’d suggest talking to a periodontist in your area. They will also know the best general dentists in your area.
I guess it wasn't just me about the image quality. I love that how it gets rid of my neck and my shoulder pain but using the loupes make my eyes tired really quick and also gives me migraine as well. I am wondering if you are having or have experienced the same initially.
I’ve found that I’m personally remarkably good at adapting to new things like loupes etc. I don’t get headaches etc. I am happy to trade a reduction in image quality for the improved ergonomic design and posture / neck posture. As I said I don’t think most people would even notice. But I feel it is important to share. Overall I use the ergo loupes (hero and DFV) 98% of my time. Very pleased!
Vous êtes un véritable artiste créateur et un homme bienveillant, vous avez l'empathie et intelligence holistique bien à l'oeuvre. Je m'enquière car j'ai des soucis aussi, je vous remercie. La bonté viens du coeur, et se lit dans les yeux. Bonne continuation à vous docteur!
It’s been a bit since I took French but merci, merci beaucoup! ❤️
Was the waxup digitally mounted against anything for the upper? Or what was the frame of reference for the waxup?
@@kvgolfa the waxup was actual wax on a 3D printed model.
It was mounted by the lab at a prespecified vertical
@@ChrisNelsonDDS but what on the upper was holding that vertical?
@@kvgolfa ok gotcha. The opposing was a full upper denture. We did a bite index (bite registration) and I asked the lab to open the vertical to a specific mm measurement on the articulators and wax the teeth to that vertical.
The case looks great. More importantly the patient is happy. Your attitude and professionalism is exemplary. Caring so much about patient's outcome and willingness to consult with other Dentist's for solutions
Wow! Thank you! Happy to share. I’ll be posting more cases over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
@@ChrisNelsonDDS Looking forward to it. It helps me learn my options for my future dental case, which is ever changing. 😂
Haha, I remember you keeping these near the couch when we lived together so you could floss while watching TV. Love it!
Next video needs to be flossing while bike riding.
Are they good for endodontic treatment?
@@ghassan111 yeah they’re very similar to having a microscope attached to your face. Just know that the magnification is not the same as an actual scope.
How did you get the design for vision light mounted on those loupes?
@@LouisReier I ordered a spare mount from Designs For Vision and modified it a tiny amount to make it work.
Wow !!! You are Awesome !!! I will be contacting you, about real like dentures ! No Cookie Cutters !!😂
Please do! Happy to share.
Great video! I know you got them for free but any idea how much those Hero loupes are going for?!
Just contact Hero Loupes, they will give you a fair number.
I would never guess in a 1000 years that these teeth are dentures. I have seen people with such perfectly straight teeth that are so obviously dentures.
Thanks for the comment! Awesome!
Can an ergo loupe used for surgery?
They have more distortion than TTL straight loupes but I use them for everything.
@@ChrisNelsonDDSso you feel completely fine when doing surgery with an ergo loupe
@@ChrisNelsonDDS i love ergo loupes and the ideal of correct posture when performe treatment but do not seen surgeon used it. So i am doubting should i buy an straight or ergo loupes. My main field is oral surgery and prosthetic
@@maisajbin2954 I love mine! You’ll be happy with them for surgery. There are a few positions that require some neck movement that is challenging but overall I like mine! Using them 90%+ of the time.
@@ChrisNelsonDDS Thanks for the useful informations
What are the options or grades of denture? Im not talking about implants as i dont have $52,000, i have $10,000 and dental insurance. I have had some really rotten luck with my teeth. Both of my parents, my sister, and paternal grandparents have beautiful smiles and have never had extractions. Unfortunately i havent been so lucky. Erythromycin put stains on my uppers, that led to dental bonding, veneers crowns and now dentures. Im so nervous that im gluing my crowns in and holding out as long as i can. At 44 and being a woman i almost would rather die as vain as that sounds
If you live in the US and are comfortable commenting what state I can give you a recommendation on someone that can make you a+ dentures in that area.
@ChrisNelsonDDS yes, please:) I live in NC, Pinehurst to be specific.
helpful
Glad you think so! There is a long term review coming out in the next few weeks.
How can I tell if my try-in denture is okay if I still have teeth in my mouth?
That would be a table top try in. You’d basically just get to look at your teeth.
@@ChrisNelsonDDS What if the new teeth don't fit after I have my real teeth removed? That would be a nightmare. I guess I have to rely on a good impression.
Hi, does hero loupes have same field of view as orascoptics?Also do they have same clarity as orascoptics?
The current version of her loupes and designs for vision in about 5x have a similar FOV. I don’t have experience with ergro orascoptic. My 4.8x orascoptic TTL are a bit “closer” than the ergro loupes in the same magnification. Also TTL loupes have less distortion than ergro designs in my experience.
@@ChrisNelsonDDSWhat do you mean by “distortion”?
scratch flying dental sharpnel😂
Could you please advice me on how to store the carvings year-long (have to present them at end of the year) ? My keeps on breaking even when I have kept a separate box for them.
Cold and dry place!
Sir i had denture in india but denture is froud proces cannot eat and cannot drink
There are fantastic dentists all over the world, you just have to look a bit to find one!
😂😂😂
Mine were not immediate, they gave me my actual one and just cut and grinned off what would bother me. They wouldn’t fix how it exceeded into my tongue and floor of my mouth.. What company do you use that makes that lower metal denture? mine is a bulky plastic
I paid $6,800 for my porcelain teeth dentures. I need them realigned and I called the office. She said they don't make porcelain dentures! I knew the dentist wasn't lying to me and he told me how to care for the teeth and what not to eat Etc. When I get them realigned will they do the same type of realignment
I hope i could get to try them at least! They seem cool!
The look great besides the overbite.
How come most people's dentures don't fit correctly?
It's very common for people to be mouth breathers caused by deviated septum or nasal polyps. This causes dry mouth when you sleep, which causes bacteria build up, which causes cavities... 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.
Helloooooo Wilbur!🐎 😬
I dont understand the setup. Anterior open bite ? Patient wont be able to bite a sandwich. And to patients watching this, porcelain teeth have been around for decades. I vee never seen this particular design, its the reverse of what id expect.
How does Porcelain hold up to Zirconia or Ultra Lite Crystal & is Ultra Lite Crystal a Nano ceramic or porcelain? Thanks for any response. - Susan Burns
Where can you buy that tool that let's you turn a toothpick into a dental tool?
What google is for. 😉
These look like a great set of dentures, but, seriously doubt my insurance would approve or pay for them and I have decent dental insurance. But I'm happy that dentures are still being improved. Are the porcelain teeth stronger than the acrylic? Though they look great it would be even nicer if they are stronger and last longer. Thanks for the update, though I am a few years late but I am on my denture journey now.
Hello;let me know please if is there a device using neodimium magnets inserted in denture and gum ? May be in the next gen of clean and strong dentures?
Have you ask the patient if they had food stuck under the ceramic denture while screwed in
Ceramic dentures that are not removable by a patient (attached to implants with screws) are great, but you have to use floss to clean under them and if food gets stuck it's important to clean it out daily.
What are some tools recommended to carve?
Try a bunch of different things, but we used dental instruments like discoid-cleoid and some other wax carving instruments. I'm sure you can snag some on eBay, if you don't have any. :-)
going to make this with almonds and eat them to make people think I am crazy
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.
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).
lose the music
LOL OK
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. :-)
@@ChrisNelsonDDS okay by the way I told my parents and they said tomorrow I'm gonna go to the dentist and get some floss there thanks for your help❤
I’ll make another instruction video for how to floss soon so check back sometime.
@@ChrisNelsonDDS okay thank you👍
Interesting. Can you compare this with Pentax NF2 loupe, in detail? The deflection angle mechanisms are almost the same.
Haven't checked those out yet... I'll have to...
Pretty cool! Any updates? I’m a dental student interested in the product.
This project has been going SLOWLY with all of my other work / life obligations... stay tuned.
