Love the review of my routine! Thank you
Thanks for sharing it :) learned a few new things!
best oral health channel ever! thank you for making these honest and informative videos that are heavy on the content and light on visual editing and with no music to distract from your points. excellent approach, thank you!!
It's a fine line between keeping it entertaining/engaging and keeping it informative...glad you like my style! :)
@@askahygienist Have you checked out: www.youtube.com/@dr.elliephillips ? She has over 50 years experience in many areas of dentistry, and has developed a system called Complete Mouth Care System.
Xylitol doesn't actually 'kill bacteri'a - it interrupts the bacteria's ability to adhere and create plaque
Yes it does interrupt the ability to adhere, but also the bacteria eats it like it would any sugar, except it cannot digest it so essentially the bacteria starves and cannot reproduce.
Mouth Tape called Azazar is what I started using because of a CPAP. It's small and simple but truly works for teeth as well as increasing the positive affect of CPAP . It's great!
Love your content!
Glad you enjoy it!
I left my toothbrush in a bit of Listerine overnight. The next morning, the bristles were dissolved. 😮 I immediately poured the rest down the drain. That might be the best use of mouthwash to get the drain squeaky clean 😊
Oh my goodness! Do you remember which specific type of listerine it was? Never heard of that happening!
I would have to see that beforeI believe it. I have Listerine so I'll try it and see what happens.
Any reports?? @@doug3805
@@doug3805 results?
there is special nose strips that open up your sinuses so when you tape your mouth (with mouth tape) you will have no problem breathing. It helps with getting a good night's sleep. Great video. Also there are tongue exercises that help with opening up the upper pallet.
Good idea with the nose strips! What tongue exercises? Link please :)
I watch your videos first because you are cute , second for your dental hygiene advice!
There actually is research that shows that flossing before brushing is better than brushing and then flossing
Before you leave your window open at night, remember to check the weather forecast.
Sounds like you’re speaking from experience haha
Mark Burhenne D.D.S. does say in his video titled "A Peek Inside My Evening Dental Routine" that what he uses to cover his mouth when he sleeps is SomniFix strips.
Oh thanks! I’ll have to check those out
You are welcome. I am planning on buying some to help prevent dry mouth while sleeping. I am happy that the breathing strips have a little breathing vent to help it not feel so confining :) @@askahygienist
@@askahygienist DON'T!!!. Taping mouth for the night is negligent medical advice. Mouth breathing is not normal, hence there is a reason. In children it is usually very large tonsils and adenoids which needs to be evaluated by ENT.
2nd reason is allergies as far as children and younger population, so you need to address that (not with mouth taping).
3rd, most common in people with BMI 30 and over, is sleep disorder breathing, when airway collapses, causes respiratory obstruction and leads to drops in SPO2 in your blood, snoring and small and sometimes significant CO2 increases. Men 50 and over are very high risk for Sleep Apnea. Sleep Disorder breathing increases exponentially as we age and airway tissues get loose/ saggy, just like our external skin tissues.
4th, some people have deviated septum and unless they get it fixed, they can't freely move air through the nose.
Taping mouth in any of these circumstances put people in serious danger and can even cause death. As a side note, instead of taping mouth, one can simple use chin strap (there are also tape chin straps although any tape reapplication will eventually lead to serious skin irritation). This allows keeping jaw up but if medical reason causes one to need to open mouth to breathe, at least it allows you to do that. Never follow blind advice from You Tube even if the person has multiple titles. I welcome you to research all the info that I provided. You can also find more info under Sleep Disorders.
Sometimes, waking up at night, walking past my kitchen is a daunting task."
I had a tooth gum ache. I had heard of cloves for fighting infections. I then used one after cleaning with brushing , flossing, and cleaning my mouth. Then I put one clove in my mouth for a soak for about 10-12 minutes. The next day no aches or tooth pain. Any input on this?
Clove can help anesthetize an area of pain temporarily. Would be good to check the area out to find out the source of the problem and treat it accordingly.
I missed your videos
I’m working on being more consistent :)
great vid. my additional add- ons
1. erythritol is actually better than xylitol for inhibiting cariogenic bacteria. A experimental study was done comparing various sugar alcohols (sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, etc.) and erythritol was the winner. so one option is to do a 10 second homemade erythritol mouth rinse after eating.
2. sleeping with the window open. In many locations, the extra noise (traffic, voice, dogs) coming from open windows, will result in micro-awakenings which harm the quality of your sleep. So it's a trade-off with the CO2 levels. The answer depends on where you live (safety vs. micro-awakenings vs. CO2)
3. Recently I read that about 90% of adult fluoride exposure comes from water, and only about 10% from fluoridated toothpaste (sorry, I don't have a source for this claim). I remove all the fluoride from my drinking water, so I'm not concerned at all about the tiny 10% from toothpaste. Therefore I choose to get the synergistic/additive benefits of a toothpaste that combines fluoride AND hydroxyapatite (I use Jen's Super Paste). I wish it didn't contain mint though.
4. Dr. B claims you shouldn't use mouth washes with essential oil because they negatively disrupt the oral microbiome (this is true as far as I'm aware), but many of the toothpastes he recommends and uses himself contain essential oils! (e.g. peppermint oil, etc.). So he contradicts himself.
1. hm, interesting about the erythritol, I've not heard of this! I'll have to check it out.
2. so many things cause micro-awakenings it seems. not just noise, but also street lights...I end up opening the window during the day and close in the evening before bed so the room has some fresh O2 for the night lol...
3. We definitely get a LOT of fluoride from sources outside of toothpaste. If you think about it, our food is also processed with fluoridated water, so the cheese you eat for example, may also contain fluoride. Nice to hear you're using Dr. Jen's! I'll be reviewing the super paste soon...I'll pass along to them to develop a non-mint flavor ;)
4. I actually though about this haha. I think the idea is to minimize the exposure to the essential oils; with the toothpaste you rinse it out in the end, mouthwash leaves a coat on your teeth...🤷🏼♀️
You're so funny!
Thanks 🥴😅
Found a xylitol nano hydroxyapatite non Alcohol, non essential oil mouthwash the other day. Made by a company called SuperMouth.
Took a look at the ingredients. It doesn’t say specifically but it says “natural flavors” and for mint, I wonder if it’s not an essential oil…anyway I feel like if you are brushing and flossing I don’t see a need to use a mouthwash 🤷♀️ but I will say that mouthwash does seem to hit all the marks!
@@askahygienist I got the mouthwash not necessarily to wash my mouth, but to coat my teeth with hydroxyapatite, when I don't want to over brush my teeth.
oh gotcha! good idea@@ryankittle3431
Thanks for sharing I’m definitely going to try it! ❤
Mouth taping is great for many things. I am not sure what it does for the teeth though.
Your so funny, I really enjoy your video!
glad you like :)
Ironically, I came from the dentist yesterday. High blood pressure, and swollen upper gums. Told to do a Crest Peroxide wash for now.
I will stop using my Colgate 12hr mouthwash, and see what happens.
Do you suggest ACT alcohol free ?
Mouthwash dried out my mouth and throat, causing a raw throat for like three months. The newsletter from the insurance company said mouthwash, and cancer. That was enough to stop from using mouth wash.😊
definitely stay away from alcohol mouthwash. that dries out mouth even more. I would say try skipping mouthwash for a bit. Just brush with toothpaste and floss. make sure you're doing it correctly; here's a link, me demonstrating how to brush/floss correctly czcams.com/video/Xb1aFMuokpw/video.htmlsi=I7B9HdqCb2BGgkLb
Can I use "Davids" Toothpaste every day?
of course!

If someone has issues breathing when their asleep and don't know it, taping the mouth closed could cause major issues
Great point!! 😳
Curious if you've thought about gargling/rinsing in the morning before you drink anything. Our health is predicated on mouth and gut, bad vs good bacteria. When you wake-up in the morning, your mouth has some bad bacteria. If you drink before rinsing/brushing, you are swallowing bad bacteria straight to your gut.
Oh you’re right! I must’ve got caught up in Dr. AB’s routine and forgot about the order of mine. So usually I do take off my retainers first thing in the morning and rinse my mouth out or actually usually just brush my teeth right away, THEN I go and have a drink of water. I agree, feels gross just drinking water first thing without rinsing or brushing first.
@@askahygienist thanks for your response! I honestly am just now realizing and understanding how important all this is. As a man over 50, I consider myself lucky that I didn't get any teeth knocked out fighting when I was younger. You kinda are raised that fights are normal, but that was before I realized how important teeth are, and that they don't grow back!
Por favor 🙏🏻 traducción al español
1:20 Is "flouride" the same thing as "fluoride"?
Omg haha totally missed that typo! I meant fluoride lol. “Flouride” is a completely different word. Pronounced FLAHW-ree-day. Latin origin. Means “beginning of spring.” hahahah I kid. Thanks for the catch!
@@askahygienist This could have been an expression of distrust towards people who live in Florida because you think they're toxic. A sort of anti-Floridianism. But afterwards, I said to myself nah, it can't be that.
never heard of that haha but no not my intention either way! @@BassComb
I am not sure why this is titled as a debunking of Dr. B’s oral care routine?
As in weighing in my own professional opinion as a hygienist on his routine. Is that…not debunking? Lol sorry idk, how would you title it?
I like your video, but people will see the title and it immediately discredits him. The definition of debunk is:
expose the falseness or hollowness of (a myth, idea, or belief).
Btw, the xylitol gum he talks about is sweetened with xylitol, vs. sugar. And the mouth tape is some special mouth tape he talks about in a products video.
@@marys.5050 about the xylitol gum, i understand, just that chewing gum can be irritating to the jaw, and too my xylitol can upset the stomach. I prefer xylitol mints, sparingly. Ooh, thanks for the tip about the tape, i'll have to look up his video on that!
@@marys.5050 ah, k..I will think of a different title! thanks :)
Fluoride is a no no when you have low thyroid
I've heard of this before! thanks for sharing
If i taped my mouth shut i wiuld never fall asleep...i dont think so.
Dr. Elle Phillips says don't rinse with water after meals, suck on a xylitol mint.
Oh interesting, why not rinse with water, that doesn’t make sense. Sure, xylitol is a good option too but…
Taping is for snoring and other sleep problems.
If you're mouth taping you can use medical tape.
Taping your mouth shut to me is stupid and not natural. I think you can go to extremes with anything. Thanks for the sensible approach.
Your recommendations are expensive.
Sorry which ones in particular, and what are you trying to achieve? I always try to meet people where they are at financially with my recommendations; there are definitely more expensive products that I like but doesn’t mean you can’t achieve good oral health without them!
LOL when He said "that's not what NATURE intended" I stopped the video after I stopped laughing! I mean, what does that even mean? What nature intended? Now we have Dentists who know what NATURE intended....and so what to him would the thing called Nature be? Exactly? We have many millions of people who feel qualified to speak for God in every subject....but it seems there is this thing or BEING named Nature and it wants or intends things for us..... Wow!
