Hey Dr. Greg, I had a frenectomy procedure of the upper lip before getting my braces and I now have a scar in my gums where my frenum was, is there anything I can do about the scar?

Iâve had my braces for months now. I watch videos about not brushing w braces every once in a while to scare me so that I donât get lazy đ
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I do the same thing đđđ. If you want to make sure youâre doing above and beyond regular care; watch the videos of people in UK with bad hygiene. It freaked me out so bad, I went on Amazon and bought dental supplies for home, work and travel đđđ
Same!
Samee
CRAZYYYYYYY đđđđ
Hey you forgot to mention to ALWAYS rinse your mouth out with water after every meal. Getting all the chunks of food out every time helps tremendously. After every meal I do that and look throughly to make sure thereâs no other particles that could be stuck or visible. It helps with bad breath, appearance & makes it even more easy to brush
Oh thanks for commenting this I didnât know about this (I just got my braces yesterday.)
This is very good advice! I've had good results using the waterpik right after each meal then brushing 30 minutes later.
@@tkoors5432 waterpik takes too long imo I just rinse and call it a day
I use a combination of things for my braces that I think works quite well. I brush with a mechanical brush, use a water pick. After that I use interproximal brushes to get spots I might have missed. Then I floss. My teeth have been spotless since I started this routine.
How long does it take to finish the routine?
@@amaryllisnm7877 ten minutes at the most.
t e a c u p do u use the interproxinal brushes without toothpaste ?
@@999abcede no I do not. I use the interproximal brush as a little tooth brush to get what I missed while brushing my teeth. I have power chains now so I get in between.
Hi Dr.Greg, first week on my braces and I canât fit floss in between my teeth and It was super easy to floss prior, any tips? Thank you đ
I finally got a waterpik and electric toothbrush a year into my braces and my whole life has been changed!!! I absolutely love the waterpik! I have the tabletop one!!!
I want a waterpik so bad! đ©
@@MelissaLaura8989 mine was $65
@@ayandancube5832 awesome đ where did you get yours?
@RE Chanel from my dentist; they sell them.
Wow! I'm going to purchase one after seeing this. I've only had my braces on for a month.
Just when I wanted to give up brushing my teeth after every meal. Your video explained why it is important for me to continue practicing oral hygiene. Thank you so much!!!
I have adhd and braces and king story short it takes some motivation to brush my teeth properly, you help with this. Iâm so happy you do these without being rude
Been watching your videos for braces info and I just went to my ortho and was told I may get my braces off two months earlier. Thank you for all you videos and the importance you places on brushing and flossing!
The waterfloss was a game changer. And I also started using disclosing tablets just to make sure I floss and brush properly
I just got braces today and your videos have been EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much!
I don't know how anyone has braces and does NOT have a waterpik. Food gets stuck everywhere and can rot causing mouth odor. Dr Greg my waterpik and IO9 has been a godsend. Thank you for recommending these
right? They're so critical !! from the orthodontist side, we can definitely tell the changes after implementing these tools
floss.
Tysm!!! I am getting them tomorrow and I know this channel will be like life support lol
Ooh loving this new setup, Dr. Greg!
Aw thanks so much! =]
When I had braces, I went to my first appointment with my regular dentist after getting my braces on and he just told me "you've had good oral hygiene your entire life. Keep doing what you're doing and just come back after the braces are off unless something else comes up and you think you need to come in before then."
Yessss!! Waterpik is saving my life rn! Just got braces a month ago and my doctor gave me a free one to accompany my journey đ I put that bad boy on #10 now! Blast it all away đ„
goodluck to the plaque w/ a #10 setting! Haha that's great. So happy you're having success with it!
Hi âŠ.yes agreee waterpick is an amazing tool. I am 48 years old and lucky to get braces now :) I have both waterpick for travel and at home use and also sonic tooth brush. Very happy with that as well. Thank you
I just wanted to thank you for recommending PLATYPUS ORTHOPAEDIC FLOSSER for braces. This made a huge difference in cleaning between my teeth. I also use a water pic flosser. It was very difficult to floss the back teeth but now I feel great. Thank you for the advice.
Very informative video thanks for sharing this insight!
Thank you for all videos đ
Im OBSESSED with your videos đ
Dr. Greg just wanted to say thank you for all your videos, its such helpful content and I have learned alot. Just got the Tabletop WaterPik Aquarius, and just wow, used it for the first time and it feels like I just went to the dentist for a clean. Everyone watching this video needs to get one. I have learned more for you than all dentists I have been to. Thank you so much, just wanted to let you know you're making a great impact on the world :)
Yes I have a waterflosser!! Best thing I ever bought, Shouldâve had one sooner tbh. Mine is from smile direct (bought it at Walmart) and I love it!! I charge it once a month and it lasts for a very long time. I had the hand held one from waterpik and it didnât last long at all!! It eroded Wouldnât recommend at all!!!
I love how Explain in ur videos as am from south of uk đŹđ§ and am getting some Braces put in and am Nervous đŹ yes waited for long time for this wish me good luck đ€
I watch videos like this so I can do my teeth routine. Depression makes me no want to take care of my teeth so I need to scare myself into flossing lol
Dr you are positive about the braces, i was thinking to remove them but your opinions are so positive đ
Thank you Dr Greg for your videos, they are highly educative, I have been following your CZcams channel for about a year now,
I will like you to post a video with demonstrations about composite materials used in bonding brackets, either flowable or bulk
Thank you
I liked the calculus joke. Whenever mentioned I think about my school days not necessarily the hardened plaque.
I always bring my waterfloss. every after meal I always use it (even if I'm in restaurants because it makes me uneasy that there might be something in my braces) waterfloss are the best!!
I have a handheld waterpik and I use the quip electric toothbrush in a circulation motion.
Iâm saving up for waterpik or water flosser but Iâm currently using an electric toothbrush. Iâve been using it for years but I appreciate it more now that I have braces. âșïž
Some of them are $13
Don't get the brand, get one for $20 especially the portable ones
iâm so done i brush my teeth every day but theyâre still YELOWW
Braces infected my gums making me having gum surgery twice and it was painful Iâm just glad my surgeon wasnât abusive
Hi Dr Greg, would like to ask, how is it possible to extract the wisdom tooth while on braces?
Can you do a video about mouth guards and braces for sports?
That calculus and simple math joke got me my first true laugh since i fixed my braces yesterday đđ
What are your thoughts on using a sulcabrush? Can it replace flossing?
Heya, I have a question. I recently had a tooth extraction for braces. (I donât have braces yet.) However, itâs been 3 days after the extraction, and I was wondering. When can I expect to consume solid foods once again?
Wonât you have discoloration regardless because the brackets are covering part of the tooth while everything else is exposed?
Should I do teeth scaling every 6 months? Is it good for my teeth?
Can you do a video about the carriere motion?
I have an oscillating toothbrush, but lately I've been using the electric toothbrush that moves parallel.
My ortho told me it is hard for me to get cavities and would take up to a year for me to actually gain one because i have a thick layer of enamel and ive had gingivitis and had to get calculus cleaned in which it hurt so i ive been brushing my teeth everyday at least twice a day im starting my braces journey next month and i want my teeth to be as clean as possible. This video was very hepfu
âïž**** 2 questions! **** âïž
Can you explain the phsyiology of how the gingiva moves/reforms to the teeth when they're moving, please? You've covered the breakdown and reformation of bone, but why aren't we left with gaping holes in our gums?
Also: I use an oscillating toothbrush and a waterpik religiously and spend 15 minutes on my teeth 2 or 3 times a day. Should I still be attempting to floss? Flossing with braces is an absolute drag. TIA đ
is the handheld waterpik still as good as the tabletop one? i just ordered the handheld one
Hi, Dr Greg, Is it normal if our teeth start loosen up after braces? I just got my braces on few days ago and then 4 of my front tooth start to loosen up.
I love orthodontistsđ
Hey Dr. Greg, I had a frenectomy procedure of the upper lip before getting my braces and I now have a scar in my gums where my frenum was, is there anything I can do about the scar?
Dr. Greg, I'm waiting for the episode/video with an Oral Surgeon for Jaw Surgery.
Hello! I have a question. I will get my 4 pre-molers pulled, 2 on January 5th and 2 on January 12th. I am TERRIFIED of it, and it also doesnât help that I have autism, anxiety and a fear of needles⊠do u have any tips for me to make it less scary? Also, im getting braces on January 26th but ai wonât get spacers, is that normal? Iâm kinda confused haha!
i noticed my gums were getting puffy so i bought a electric toothbrush, a water pick, and mouth wash and my gums are still puffy. what do i do?
Iâm getting mine on in two weeks
One more day and im getting my braces im so excited and nervous
Are hard bristle manual toothbrushes not good to use for braces? I hope that makes sense lol not sure what to call them
Running to the bathroom to brush my teeth right now đ«Ą
Is sonic technology as effective as rotating- oscillating technology?
Hey I have a question. So I was giving headgear about a year ago but my orthodontist said that I was going to need rubber bands next time I go in about a month does that mean that Iâm almost done with headgear or do I need to wear both
I sometimes not do my self care including brushing my teeth due to my depression episodes and I have braces.
Can you do a video on fast braces? I have them
Hallo sir which self ligating braces works faster 3m or demon please tell me my dactor ordered 3m and said both are same just company is different should I go with 3m or change to demon braces,I want to complete the treatment fast and as much as possible in less time
Amazon has waterpik-type teeth cleaning appliances under different names and a lot less expensive. Do you think they are just as effective?
I got my braces on about 2 weeks ago but I still feel pain when chewing đżđż is that normal ??
Lol this video made me get up and go brush my teeth even though I just brushed my teeth earlier (*i have braces*)
For peeps with braces, would you recommend morning brushing before or after breakfast?
Love ur videos!đ
Before and after
Either one hour after you eat or just before. Brushing fills the tubules and protects enamel while you eat. When you eat, the acids from food and bacteria demineralize the teeth, making the enamel easier to scrape off. After about an hour, the pH normalizes and the teeth remineralize. So either before you eat or an hour after.
Both
What type of toothpaste is recommended? Mouthwash? Iâm thinking about using pre-pasted toothbrushes in my office because of the bathroom situation.
Whatâs the best toothpaste for braces with no whitening and no baking soda
Hi Doctor , I had a query . should a 14 year old teen put braces. Or it is too early ?
Hi , you asked in your 'jaw surgery' video if we'd like the idea of you inviting an oral surgeon to join you for a discussion, and i wanted to say that i would love to see that. I know I'm a bit late but I just discovered your channel and I have been enjoying all the videos.
Also thank you for the great content!!
If we just clean our teeth with normal regular manual brush and just floss and mouthwash
Is it good enough or electric brush or something else is important????
I think it is good enough. My ortho didn't recommend me using electric toothbrush while I'm in braces. I used them before braces and it was good but then she said no so yeah.
Now I just use manual toothbrush with soft bristles that was made for braces and it works just fine as long as I'm using the right technique and I just use Oral-B superfloss at night.
Hello Doctor. I'm dental personel in Cameroun and I would like to learn more from you concerning orthodontic
OMG! I love your videos. Thank you so much for all the information. đđđ
You are so welcome! So glad you enjoy them =]
I have a water flosser that connects to my shower head I use it every morning when I shower.
I do have an electric toothbrush, but my gums bleed more while using it compared to the typical toothbrush people use.
I'm heart transplanted and have to take immune medication, which make my gums sprawl, my jaw is already the biggest construction site, I have to be extremely careful that nothing gets infected because my immune system practically does not exist, I hope everything will calm down when I finally get my braces out and the infection risk isn't that high anymore,on top of that,my theet are extremely tiny and sensitiveđ Your videos really help me with my ugly duck,nice swan journey
Praying for u because braces kill your gums so badđI got mine yesterday they were fine the whole day until I woke up the worseeee!
Hello,can i wear braces if i am full time MMA fighter? I will get dentist made mouthguard so it can protect littlr bit better than usual mouthguard. I have overbite/overjet (not severe)
Used one of those water things and it felt like my gums got executed by a firing squad
sir any calcium tablet is teeth strong
How many times I should brush my teeth?
Goodness. My daughter 8 years just got braces (today). Brushing teeth has been a nightmare. Your video is very helpful but I feel so desperate and helpless. Iâm so scared I break the braces while helping her brush. Any more links of your videos that I might not have watched yet are welcome đł
Iâm not able to get a waterpik, is that fine?
Hi Dr.Greg, just got braces about a month ago! Just a quick question, should I get my teeth cleaned at the dentist more regularly whilst on braces? Say...once every 3 months or so. Love your Vids btw!!
Had mine for 4yrs an did my regular cleanings since there was so many things I couldn't eat or drink
It depends on how you're doing with your hygiene! Dentists will make this call =] If youre good, 6 mo is fine but sometimes they want to see you as often as 3 months. THanks for the kind words! & Great question
@@DrGregAsatrian Are they able to clean your teeth with the braces or do we have to take them off?
Regular clean every 6 months insurance will only pay for 2 free cleaning a year
@@moneyhungry9169 my orthodontist told me that some dentists like you to have the wire taken off for cleaning, but others do not.
A waterpik was not enough for me in my orthodontist Actually didn't recommend it. When I started oil pulling with certain essential oils, it made a world of difference in my mouth. My gums healed up nicely and they stop bleeding. I will never stop oil pulling now.
Waterpik isnât strong enough. Which oils do you use?
@@chineloblessed4628 coconut oil
Any ideas why some orthodontists won't recommend electric toothbrushes during braces treatment? Mine told me to use a manual one
Mine too! She said because the pressure is too strong.
@@umipsi5124 omg i really thought i was the only one.
Keep strong, may the pain of braces adjustment stay away from us! đ
i think the pressure is just too strong.i have my braces recently, when i tried to use my electric toothbrush, it's just a big no no haha,too painful
I have braces and I donât got enough money for thoses electric tooth brushed and water pick, I just use a regular toothbrush
Instead of motivating me you just scared me I'm getting braces tomorrow đđ
I have oral B oscillating toothbrush
Use a spin toothbrush and swish with coconut oil twice a day. = no cavities and white healthy teeth. no complaints from my dentist or orthodontist
I have brace bottom and top but I don't know why I did not get rubber bands yet
Im ashamed at how hard I laughed at "easy mathematics"
I'm happy I don't have to wear mine for much longer. Too hard to keep your teeth clean.
Waterpik user here .
this is out of topic but may i know why u got ur braces twice?
um do you know any affordable rotating tooth brushes? i brush every day yet iâm still seeing build up on two of my teeth
Most Oral - B products have this O-R technology. check out my videos on how to properly brush w/ braces. between that & the right tools you should be good!
I have to brush after every meal. You should brush more than once a day
@@DrGregAsatrian great thanks
@@fishkillerchris i do brush multiple times a day itâs just my two bottom teeth where i have problems
To remove the buildup, youâll need a hygienist (or dentist) to remove it during a professional cleaning. Even the best toothbrush wouldnât be able to remove the already formed calculus/tartar.
My waterpick just broke imma have to invest on an extra expensive one
Can you please tell me how I can control tartar? It forms EXTREMELY quickly on the back of my bottom teeth and I hate it. Also ever since Iâve gotten braces, I believe I have tartar underneath certain brackets on the front of the teeth. Can you give me any advice? I want to be hygienic and have good oral health.
Mix hydrogen peroxide 3% with ur mouth wash. You can use ur listerine cover of 1 cup peroxide, 1 cup listerine and 1 cup water.
Out of curiosity Why do they put braces on 11 year olds now? And do they still need to wear retainers? Idk i feel like thats to young im currently 29 and my teeth have went through many changes as an adult i would of needed braces twice đŹ
Why do I get gray stains on my upper teeth, I have to scrape it off. My lower teeth don't get them. I brush 3 times daily, water pick, and floss. No coffee, no soda.
Some people develop these stains from the minerals in the saliva - visit your local dentist and see what they say. Hard for me to tell online!
Algebra!
i have been having a hard time keeping up with my braces and cleaning them im so sad bc ik im gonna have stains
I have a rotating tooth brush
my mom said this weekend i can get a water pik!!!! im so excited because flossing is so hard right now with my how my teeth are shaped. they where ALREADY hard before the braces
