  • This video describes simply how to brush your teeth to avoid gingivitis and any health problems that are related to poor oral hygiene. We also compare the manual toothbrush to 2 different electric toothbrushes, the Oral B by Braun and the Sonic Care by Phillips.

    As a teacher, this is honestly the type of thing they should be teaching in schools....especially elementary schools where a lot of kids (and Adults according to the comments below) either go to school without brushing their teeth or brushing it incorrectly....not getting them to write useless paragraphs on if an alien came to their house, what would they give them to eat....smh!!

    2 key things I learned from this and very appreciative of it was 1) the tartar behind my bottom front teeth is normal, I'm not a freak and 2) the reason we brush when we wake up even though we haven't eaten anything is we have less saliva in the mouth to combat plaque build up.

It's 25.000 euros in my country (Italy) and honestly I've spent like 10 grand already because I had braces (6,000 bucks), then I had some cavities removed and some cleaning, this and that, so there goes 10 grand. I could've added 15 more and got some new white perfect teeth

      all standard paste is crap. theres enough flouride in a tube of most pastes to kill 2 small children, the govt forced the industry to post a poison warning (read the small print) on every tube long ago. also they are loaded with nasty chemicals & sugar designed to make dentists rich. PS mint is a gum irritant allowing you to mainline all those aweful ingredients directly into your bloodstream too. happy brushing! I suggest ppl dump their paste, go with all natural approach to whole body wellness thru mouth health with Revitin paste, this is NOT spam.

  • @Paul_owie

    This is the top teeth cleaning infomation video I've seen. (At last!) Only to find how wrong I was at cleaning my teeth.
    50 years of harsh brushing, not knowing, it's now about scrubbing them fast and hard any which way. My dentist has never taken the time to give me the few really helpful tips that you've just gave me. ( A couple of teeth at a time )
    If only I'd had this information 50 years ago, or anywhere in between. Not only do you show us how to exactly brush our teeth, you explain why.
    I've always brush my molars and pre-molars up and down, but side to side. Also I've always brushed them with the top and bottom teeth, together. Noooo!!!
    My recent dental appointment was surprising. He said I wasn't brush my back teeth properly. He said I wasn't cleaning between my teeth properly, which caused staining.
    So, I thank you for your helpful video, which has now taught me techniques on how to properly brush them with the brush at a 45 degree angle. YES! And to pay particular attention to the lower front incisors. Another one was not brushing so hard. For me, it was the harder the better. Wrong! thanks to you.
    Thank you for your help. xx

    I stopped using my electric brush for a few weeks and went manual ,, had terrific pain in my molar, went back to the oral b with a clutch and it went away, you brush longer with it because you have to stay in each quadrant until it beeps to go to the next. So you brush longer and better.

      Ya, some dentist videos show just holding the brush at a 45-degree angle, while others show a brushing technique that involves moving the electric toothbrush while the brush is on. Out of the 2 brush technique option moving the brush actually allows the brush to reach deeper between each tooth.

    I read after eating it's good to use mouthwash with fluoride. You must need to wait for 30 min before brushing with toothpaste. Since acidic food such as meats can destroy the enamel. I brush with manual toothbrush without toothpaste after eating. Later 30 min, i brush with electric one with toothpaste. This video is super helpful and wish was a hygiene class to teach younger kids(and adults too) from how to brush their teeth to how to wash your body properly.
