I cringe when people open beer bottles with their teeth. It's like I can feel their teeth chipping off 😵💫
yep! even when someone opens like a bag of chips I'm like NAOOOOO don't use your teeth!
it's oddly comforting to know that grinding is a 90% problem and I'm not alone lol
SAME!!
I used to grind in my sleep without knowing it, I had a jaw that clicked any time I opened my mouth wide. My dentist suggested a night guard. I only wore it a few times and I don't grind anymore!! I don't even have a clicking jaw anymore!
At some point during their lives, yes. Otherwise seemingly far fewer. But either way, yea most people have some degree of experience there for sure.
I’m 60 yo, never grinded my teeth in my life. I can’t even imagine grinding but I know some ppl do but I’ve never met any. 90% is a not accurate # .
It's mind-boggling how many years some of us lived in total ignorance of these dental tips.🤪
mind-boggling how many years some of us (including myself) lived knowing these dental tips, but either ignored them or followed them loosely. I never took brushing twice a day or flossing seriously until in recent years. Even then, sometimes I would skip days or not because I was tired or lazy but thanks to my current dentist and this channel, I've been doing so much better!!
I am a big time teeth grinder, thanks to you I got a mouth guard a few years ago. You directly helped save my teeth! Thank you for what you do!!
yay yesssss! gotta protect those pearly whites!
Yesssss!!! The spoon idea works so well! Could you imagine someone asking “why is there a spoon in the bathroom”?💀😂
lol yesssssss! I love it 😂
Haha. I actually kept plastic one I. Mine because I used to mix up dyi hair creams from household products!
Just got a mouth guard for grinding. Thank you so much Teeth Talk Girl!

This was very informative, Thank you 🤗
thank you for watching!
I like your content keep it up
Great lady
Interesting. Thank you
Facts @ night grinding!
Thank you for sharing this information I didn’t know that carbs turn into sugar in your mouth and cause tooth decay. Can you please make a video about foods that lead to tooth decay, it would be very helpful!
yess! here is it: th-cam.com/video/AsPB8lYkB-0/w-d-xo.html thank you for watching!
and also this is another helpful video regarding that: th-cam.com/video/90cot6T_CC8/w-d-xo.html
I thought that I would struggle using a night guard, but it has been so easy, and it has even helped my sleep apnea. I've never been bad enough for a CPAP, but the mougth guard has made it really not necessary now. Only problem is people should know not to run them under hot water. Mine kind of got altered in some hot water. I panicked and ran it in some warm water and put it back in my mouth to form it back. Truth tho, I probably need a new one. I can't seem to keep mine from accumulating white spots on it. Like dried spit. I clean it every day, but it comes back. I put it in the efferdent every week.
Just got a new nightguard yesterday (my old one was on its last leg). Expensive as all get out, but my god, what a difference! My jaw already feels so much better
Why does it feel better?
@@shubhamjain54519 basically, when a nightguard is old or not adjusted properly, your teeth don’t glide like they’re supposed to & it puts too much stress on the jaw. I can feel a huge release of that tension already bc I can’t clench down with that muscle like I could before.
Amazing! Thank you! My tongue scraper is my best friend 😅❤️
Flossing with seesaw motion,using electric toothbrush like a manual one,not brushing tongue,using mouthwash for no reason,eating chips (fermentable carbs)instead of candy,using teeth for things other than for eating,not wearing a night guard. There you go. Great info about the chips…thx.
A night guard changed my life!
SAME!
What is night gaurd?
@shubhamjain54519 it protects your teeth from grinding especially at night time when you're asleep I need a mouth guard because I grind my teeth and I never had that problem.😢
@@jessicalinbarnett how did you know you grinded your teeth in sleep?
Whitneey 🤠
"90% of adults clench or grind their teeth".
I don't think the study was suggesting that, right? (though I can't easily get to the exact study from my phone). Just that 90% of people at some point in their (whole?) lives, have done it before. Otherwise the percentage is much lower.
I don't know if they only looked at adults.
From a study that cites it:
The ICSD-R states that 85-90% of the general population grind their teeth to a degree at some point during their life, although only 5% will develop a clinical condition.
Studies have reported that awake bruxism (AB) affects females more commonly than males, while in sleep bruxism (SB), males are as equally affected as females.
A 2013 systematic review of the epidemiologic reports of bruxism concluded a prevalence of about 22.1-31% for AB, 9.7-15.9% for SB, and an overall prevalence of about 8-31.4% of bruxism generally.
The review overall concludes that bruxism affects males and females equally and affects elderly people less commonly.
I have a question i have an operculum should i floss under it and what if it bleeds after flossing ??
Got a mouth guard years ago, gave up using it shortly after because I couldn't get to sleep with it on. Way way too large.
I will never ever stop chewing ice.
What about a small amount of salt on the spoon when tongue scraping occasionally? I know too much salt can damage enamel I think.
Why, though? Use the scraper as-is! (:
Is there a risk of using mouthwash unnecessarily, because I sometimes do worry about bacterial resistance when I use them.
Use a mouthwash for a specific cause such as preventing cavities. Fluoride mouthwash can be used daily to prevent cavities and sensitive teeth. Any mouthwash with chlorehexidine for gum disease can cause a resistance so only use short term to treat gum disease. Other mouthwashes are a waste of money.
@@bridgetscotney8837 Should I be concerned about bacteria developing a resistance to xylitol as well?
Whitney is cute. My new favorite gal on YT!
What tooth paste you use
fluoride! here's my toothpaste video -- hope this helps: th-cam.com/video/UlVd38YUsJg/w-d-xo.html
@@TeethTalk thank you what's your take on arm and hammer tooth paste i use the one 3 shades whiter
3:17 well there goes 80% of my diet
I love chips I can't help it 😭
Oh wow, I didn't know that carbs can harm your teeth.
It’s just foods that get broken down into sugars, and how much more likely they are to stick to the teeth (:
omg the chips one wtff
I know right! Here's my video more about that: th-cam.com/video/90cot6T_CC8/w-d-xo.html
Please I really need to chat with privately, how do i get your contact? Thanks!
No bread, pasta, and no chips. Does that also mean no potatoes?
You just want to get those types of food off of your teeth sooner after eating them by swishing with some water. Foods (like bread) that break down into sugar, and stick to the teeth more are obviously not the best (:
how bout, being late
🦷❤☮
:)
what about you, Whitney? are you guilty of doing some of these things?
I used to floss wrong!!!!!
and I didn't wear a night guard until my 20s and def should have in college!
