As a guy with thick hands and smaller mouth I've never been able to string floss. Heck even the dental hygienist struggles getting in to get my molars. Wish I'd been suggested alternatives over the decades rather than just getting the 'floss speech'
You touched on one of the reasons I like water flossers, which is they're just more fun than string floss. I usually uses both, but if I'm in a "can't be bothered flossing" mood, I'll still use the water blaster, and any flossing is better than no flossing
Love using the water flosser to start, then brush and then floss. Love the flossers, when I’m out and about.
I’m going to school to become a dental hygienist! I’m so grateful for your channel! It keeps me motivated and excited for my career! ❤🎉
Dear Bill Bra, the waterpik stimulates the gums thats why! The pulseses agitate the gumline and it exercises the tissue. The old ribber gum stimulators did the same thing. Start out on a low setting on your waterpik and after a few days gradually increase the pressure. Chewing gum also stimulated the dentin. Chewing gum might be easier than other.methods.
Dear Wendy Kensin, your absolutly right! They dont get under the gum line. Try the crest gum detoxify. Just a sugestion. Try all hydrogen peroxide in the waterpik reservoir. Use a low setting onthe on /h wand. If that seems to strong use half tank hydrogen peroxide and half safe water to drink. Disinfect with clorox bleach in the tank occasionally. Dont use clorox as a mouth spray though it is pretty strong stuff. Jist use the clorx for cleaning the waterpik. Youve got to use pure microbillogically safe drinking water in the water pik. Distilled water may be a safer bet. Check with your dentist. I may have blown an amoba into my gums with my waterpik so be careful to use sterile water in that thing.😅
I was today years old when I learned about interdental cleaners/ brushes. Thanks! Very informative 😊
Despite missing a couple molars for a couple years now, there is still NO space between my teeth! I can take great pains (literal finger pain) using a string floss, but those interdental brushes are Never small enough for me. And those pick flossers always break or get stuck. I used to have a vibrating pick floss holder, but got tired of looking for the refills. Gonna try the water pick type flosser again.
Floss picks + waterflosser, my favorite! I wish that could makes my gums regrow, as they have receded 😢
You can surgically do that!
I am prone to plaque buildup, so daily, I use interdental brushes and string floss every time I brush my teeth, and additionally a water flosser on top in the evening. I no longer have to go for frequent cleanings, and my gums are finally healthy.
Thank you so much for all the videos you make! Ive changed my oral routine for the better thanks to you, I’ve never been taught many of these helpful tips you give. Thank you so much!❤
this makes me so happy!!! keep up the great work! and thank you for commenting kind!
I have a mint allergy and struggle with manual dexterity. floss isn't possible for me. so glad to know there are other options!
Because of you I decided to purchase an electric toothbrush for sensitive teeth and gum care, it s amazing!!!! I suffer from gum issues and the fact that it removes way more plaque than a manual one it s a win for for me ❤ you rock!
Superfoss, interdental brushes, floss picks are my daily MUST HAVES for living with braces. I have a waterflosser but it super messy so I only use that in the shower.
Dear at anima, good point! Youl have to use what works for you! Talk to your destist about it!
Miss Whitney! I love how u smile like you're loud and proud of your teeth as u should be 🥰💃 I adore and appreciate you. I'll continue to pass on your wisdom and positive energy 🤍
I started using a water flosser and at my cleaning last week, my hygienist noted I had much less plaque buildup! She didn't have to use the supersonic pik tool thing 😄
Water flossers get water, spray it everywhere!! Ugh. They are best used in the shower, so not convenient at all. Love the little brush flossers!
Have you posted a video about the pros/cons of the different types of "string floss"?
yes! :) hope this helps: th-cam.com/video/HzuSBPvsMcs/w-d-xo.html
I never string floss. I use alternatives. I just never could get down string flossing. I tried.
Dear Mr.JeffCheung, i just use a pea sized amount. Thats all it takes. I use Sensodyne for sensitive gums. If you use more than that it tastes weird and is less economical.😅
I floss with the things with bristles but I also use the string floss because I have to with these awful crooked teeth it's the only way to really get in the weird areas because my teeth are so misaligned and uneven it's terrible I don't think I'll ever be able to afford braces ,, but I've heard that aggressive flossing can cause receding gums and having crooked teeth can cause receding gums 😞 I used to floss aggressively and I have crooked teeth, those two together might be why I have bad receding gums today 😓😥
I started wearing braces 1 month ago and water flosser was the bestest of best thing I've discovered. I can't imagine living without it now to be honest O_o
Yeah, I wish I had one when I wore braces. But I got my teeth professionally polished after it being removed, and it wasn't really stained anywhere back then.
The interproximal brush sounds like a good option for me. I am anticipating needing the finest gauge available to use in place of floss. . Thanks Whiney maybe I'll give the interpret a try. My big thing is a high powered light to see and a decent chair to be comfortable in while I'm navigating my tight small mouth. This isn't an excuse, a year or.two ago I was flossing like mad but then I had a good firm bed to sit on. I'm anxious to try smearing toothpaste on ribbon floss, I haven't tryed this yet. Of course I will need gloves of the right type. Please let your patients know that poor orL health leads to colon cancer according to the Japanese. I learned this a year ago approx.. get it prox.! Ha ha ha! Your the greatest Whitney ! Bye!😅
are the proxy brushes still ok even though they dont get "under the gumline" like one would with string floss?
I use all 3!
mmm good for ur wife
@@lillion3560 preach 🙌
Show off 😊
@@Denchanter 😂😂😂
I floss, then waterpik. Overkill? Maybe. But why not?
Not overkill at all! That’s a great routine!
I use dental floss picks every day, every time after I eat. I can’t stand having food between my teeth.
I think following the “don’t rinse after brushing ” for three years abraded my teeth and now they’re weak and thin
I bought a quip water flosser, it stopped working after 4 days. So I took it back. I hate the big electric one. Oh well. Started using interdental picks.
I saw a "life hack" tip that if you grab a reasonable amount of floss and tie it in a circle it helps you floss too...
Why does proenamel sensodyne say to use an inch of toothpatse :(
Hello! Have you seen the Slate Flosser? What’s your opinion on the effectiveness and whether it should replace manual string floss?
I use traditional floss, interdental brush and waterpik all three one after the other then I will mouthwash then brush my teeth for 4 minutes
I like to floss with thread 😊
Just thought of this: but have you ever done a video about Plax? Like, do you think it actually works, or is it a waste of time and money, i.e., just marketing fairy dust, or perhaps does it do more harm than good?
Why would gingival patients benefit from water flossing more than cavity prone patients? I remember you saying yhis in a recent video, and Google didn't pull up any straightforward answers (just a simple "why, cause, and effect" type answer is all I'm looking for lol), i don't want to have to read student medical journals, or download a 50pg PDF or whatever, and that's all i could find search result wise.
I would think that obviously, water flossing is better than no flossing, and both string and water flossing stimulates gums to become nice and firm, and light pink, instead of red, itchy, bloody, and puffy... But people who are cavity prone (I have been blessed to just not have cavities naturally), wouldn't that also meam by default they are also struggling with gingivitis?
And even if a cavity prone person isn't prone to gum issues, why would a water flosser not be an ideal method of flossing for them?
Would the pressure from the water maybe cause pain where they have cavities? I have also read from people's comments that they tried water flossing (people obviously with gingivitis), but they quit almost immediately because the pressure was painful, and it made their gums bleed badly (u think that's one of those cases where consistency and pushing through the unpleasant beginning is worth the effort), like when people first start exercising.
Me personally, I love my water flosser, but I realized that i HAVE to use strong floss to get between my first and second molars on both too and bottom, because even with the high pressure setting I use, it just doesn't feel like the soaces between the molars are getting any love, so yeah, 25% string, 75% water floss is ny method :)
here's two videos of mine that should help! thank you for watching!

Do you happen to have any videos on Cold/Hot tooth sensitivity or Sensitivity when applying tooth paste or anything sweet? Thanks in advance!
I hav erge same issue. Do you have receding gums?
@@donatina1987 ahh yeah it sucks but I’m not sure. I’m supposed to have a cleaning done soon within a week from now so I’ll likely know for sure then. But it recently started out of nowhere. I also have fillings in that area that I’ve already had since years ago. So I’m not sure if the problem is the already existing filling or some other kind of issue.
@@brycetheboss2471 good luck with your cleaning.
Dear andrea 6639, i agree, just change your trousers after your done. If you use a waterpik in the shower youl be electrocuted!
I floss my teeth with a water flosser
do you have a video tutorial on how to use a water flosser?
yep :) th-cam.com/video/h-HdUpnxn1w/w-d-xo.html
How are interdental flossers not better than string?
PEACE LOVE TEETH 🦷❄️🎄💚❤️
PLT :)

my dentist gave me the proxy brush. i got the ultra tight but need the micro for my back teeth but its so hard to find. String floss is also so hard for me i fannot reach the back of my kouth with it. Water floss and floss pick it is!
I can't imagine going to Sleep without having Flossed & brushed beforehand. The thought of going to sleep with gunk in my mouth is disgusting.
Nice video. Blessings in *Christ Jesus.*
Hey Whitney kindly reply . Is it safe to use Lysterine Original ( brown/golden colour) mouthwash with a PFM Crown. Since it contains alcohol so is it safe and doesnt cause any abrasion/harm to PFM crown? Thanks
I had a question! I take ibuprofen from time to time for headaches, does this cause cavities? I use the gel caps
You can ask ChatGPT for suggestive advice!
Should i floss molar banded teeth whose band is pushed in gum like every other teeth??
i do all 3
Peace love teeth ❤
PLT! :) thank you for being here!

Hi a just got this stuff called high smile what do you think of it
This video is making me worried
Hi! Im looking into becoming a dental assistant but am not super crazy about being a dental hygienist. I keep getting told they are they same but i just dont think they are. If i go to school to be a xental hygienist can i still become a dental assistant?
here's a video of mine explaining the differences between the two -- hope this helps: th-cam.com/video/IV82iKjTuls/w-d-xo.html
Why would my teeth hurt or become sensitive when I exercise or jump?
Should ask the dentist when you visit next time.
Been looking through many articals an videos to improve my routine after 21 years of soing nothing nevwr had a cavity though but ya know even bad breath is annoying still why keep it lol
pause at 1:08 HAHA
So... it kind of bothers me that you say using a floss pick is "better than nothing." As if a pick were horrible or something. I mean, I cannot for the life of me reach those back molars without the Reach Flosser handle. Why would a pick not be as good as regular string floss? I don't see the issue here.
I'm definitely pro-floss picks! They are just sometimes more difficult to properly adapt around the tooth and oftentimes used incorrectly -- however, it IS possible to use them correctly! Here's a video of mine that demonstrates proper technique: th-cam.com/video/HmnjzhqA-GU/w-d-xo.html hope this helps!
Hi
hi!
I still can't wrap my head around 'pockets' and receeding gums being the #1 problem, while all the purported solutions require pushing down and agitating the gums around the tooth.
I don't want pockets, yet here I am jamming a string in between my teeth, literally like I'm digging trenches between them. Same goes for bristles (esp. electric) held at an angle so as to literally slip in under the gum at the tooth.
Maybe the rappers have the right idea, and just go all gold? Word?
lol I hear ya but pockets aren't formed like that. they form from a bacteria infection eating away at them (due to heavy buildup, such as plaque and tartar sitting on the gums from NOT flossing and/or NOT brushing). hope this helps!
My caveman brain approves! :) Thank you for all this great information. You rock!!@@TeethTalk
