0 IQ Kids Who Ruined Their Teeth! 

I just want to say due to suffering depression which made me neglect my teeth, having two broken teeth, and being afraid of the dentist for many years. After I found your channel and watching all your videos learning more about how dentistry and dental health, and your funny personality, I finally got the courage to see a dentist at a dental school. The dentist extracted my broken teeth and I'm going in for a deep cleaning in a couple of weeks. Thank you Bentist for helping me overcome my fear and not let depression make me neglect my health.

Its interesting how fluorosis makes your teeth super resistant to cavities...it reminds me of the remains of the Ancient city of Pompeii...their teeth were shockingly perfect as there was high levels of fluoride in the soil and water produced by the volcano that murdered them (alongside a low sugar diet)

Purple food coloring is to stain the tooth a tad bit purple, it neutralizes any yellowing or yellow stains temporarily at least. The baking soda is just basically a cheap toothpaste substitute.

Everytime I watch the bentist, I have the sudden feeling of brushing my teeth 24/7 😅

I know you said the 'expander' thing doesn't hurt, but as someone who had one on the roof of their mouth and from personal experience it is super painful. I don't wish the ache on anyone that you experience a few days after having to crank it. It was an awful experience in high school and my entire braces experience for the years I had them in general was horrendous too. I'm amazed anyone would want them now. Lol.

For the teething issue, I recommend frozen fruit in these little popsicle-esq holder that fits around your little ones hand, it has a little lace like holder that opens up at the handle, worked on my little siblings, all 4 of em!(That was honestly shocking, they were REALLY picky about such finicky things as that!) Totally recommend it, it'll stay cold for a while longer too!

I told my dentist about this channel. He chuckled when I told him about the “Turkey Teeth” reactions. I also told him this channel makes me more inclined to clean my teeth (especially after seeing some of those extreme calculus build up videos). As the Bentist keeps saying: BRUSH YO TEETH!!! Take care of them cause they’re the only ones you got!

I had a palette expander as a teenager, along with braces, followed by jaw surgery, and retainers. Ever since the palette expander, I've been extra susceptible to brain freeze, so that's annoying. But I also found that my bottom retainer was causing my back teeth to ache constantly, even after consistent wear for multiple years, so I chose to stop wearing it. My bottom front teeth, of course, have rotated sideways some. I get the feeling the crowding is just too bad still. I've had my wisdom teeth removed too (they were completely sideways and buried) and still have pretty bad crowding on the lower teeth. I will say, I used to get a TON more cavities and broken fillings before I had jaw surgery. Turns out, it's not good to only use a couple molars in the back for everything and none of your other teeth.

I remember being pregnant and had severe morning sickness. Had to take an impression on a patient and she started throwing up strawberries and I was so close to throwing up myself but i was able to keep myself together and did not throw up myself. It was rough. 🥴

The nail thing is also super bad for your nails. A lot of the time it is rooted in people wanting acrylics but being lazy about taking care of them. After about 2-4 weeks (depending on how fast your nails grow and how hard you are on your hands) they start looking a bit rough, but people want to avoid having to go pay more to get them filled (maintained) for as long as possible, but the longer you wait the more likely one or more is to get to the point where you are tempted to pop it off. Problem is that often causes a fair amount of damage to your nail and nail bed. Not uncommon to see horrible infections develop that can have permanent and dire consequences. So, think carefully about if you are willing to do the maintenance before sitting down for a full set. Be honest about the time and money it will take. Do you have the $40+ and a spare hour or two every 2-4 weeks to keep them in great shape? When you decide you’re done with them, will you take the time and spend the money to have them ground down and soaked off safely? If not, then they aren’t for you.

I’ve been looking for something that will show me where my problem areas are in between appointments for quite awhile. Thanks to your videos, I now know that disclosure tablets are exactly what I need. Definitely going to stock up so I can have better appointments!

Bentist, the best dentist

BENTISSSSSSTTTTTT I LOVE U MAN IVE BEEN WATCHING U FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW my friend showed u to me when I started my braces journey and I’m about to get them off in December you’ve given me sooo much info man🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 thank you for helping me on my journey!!!

The impressions!!! I once did actually trow up in the dentist chair while I was getting impressions taken. I remember the dental tech who was doing them them telling the dentist something along the lines of “she’s gonna blow!” 😂😂 It was so embarrassing though.

My teacher literally has retainers😂

I have been in dentistry for a long time, and I bet you are so fun to work for! I could watch you forever, great facial expressions and attitude!

I'm getting braces in 2 days and your vids really help

i love you and highly appreciate u i love your videos theyre super helpful and informative i just really would like to see how u look like when u relax your eyebrows

OMG I LOVE UR VIDEOSSS

Oh god I always thought i ruined my teeth because I also have those fluorosis spots and always thought that meant they become breakable or weak. My mom even thought that it's from not brushing enough even though i did everyday twice. Now I'm relieved.

Bentist,I’m getting braces and watching your videos are helping me come over my fear of getting it

I love ur videos, they're so funny!

My friend has 4 broken teeth: One from bacon, one from some other food i forgot, and 2 teeth on the SAME OATMEAL COOKIE.

That gag reflex story is so true, I still remember my good old days😂

I love your vids keep going the bentis!

my daddy broke a tooth off his front flipper and super glued it back on a few times in the 90's. He has had the same flipper since the early 80's.

every time I watch your videos, I get motivated to floss, I started watching them once every week and have been flossing so religiously, thank you

You are the first one who explained flurosis to me or said the name. All my dentists just tell me I have beautiful teeth and I'm just nodding in disbelief because I know they are all patchy. My mother was advised to give floride capsules to me when I was a toddler. So thats why I have it.

I used to bite my nails until I got a 40 acre ranch with livestock. I will never put my fingers in my mouth again. I can scrub my hands, wear gloves, and still NO WAY.

I know what it feels like to have my jaw dislocated completely. It's absolutely HORRIFING!!!! Let me just say there is a reason why they put people under for their wisdom tooth/teeth extraction.

We still use the goop, when I got my retainers, I gagged so much they had to numb my mouth down.

I want him to be my dentist. Seriously. Like. Teleport to my dentist and replace him now 😃

I had my frenum removed due to a gap after I had braces. My orthotist wanted it done after I got my braces off but while I was still wearing my retainer full time. They turned out great she did an amazing job on my teeth. The oral surgeon liked my teeth so much.

He really helped a lot when it was a few days before braces but now I already got them on, its only been 6-7 months with them on and I get them off the day before holloween!!! So on Halloween when I trick or treat, I can eat anything☺☺☺☺

Love your vids ❤

This patient's experience with the scanner is that the height of the tooth is not determined, just how it sits on the gums. If your dentist doesn't care about cosmetics, the top of the tooth will not necessarily match the rest. Didn't happen with the 'goop'.

You always make us smile XD

Mad respect that doctor help me alot

17:53 bro you scared the shit out of me 😅😅

I showed my little brother one of ur videos so that he will start to brush his teeth more, cause I asked him how many times he has brushed his teeth, and he said only 10 times a month…..

Its the lady from the ring!!! run! I said out loud louder than normal 'What the F!!' and my wife came up into the room and said 'what weird shit are you watching on youtube this time?' lol 😂😂

Hi bentist I love your vids and I always follow your advice 😊 I always wished I can meet you

Who else I binge watching the bentist until they get braces?

I still get impressions and even though i need to gag I’m like”please don’t do that until your done”

The old impression kits were disgusting. My dentist, when I was a kid, used to over fill the tray, then tell me not to swallow. When I started gagging, he’d tell me that if I puked he’d just have to start over…. Dude was a sadist and hated kids. So much childhood trauma from him. 14:26. Oral thrush, also known as an oral yeast infection. Anyone who has asthma and uses an inhaler has had thrush at least once. That girl whoever has a very severe case. As in, she ignored the early signs and did not treat it when she had the chance.

2:55 how sad! I got to keep my teeth before & after impressions when I got out of braces! They’re my most expensive Halloween decoration❤

You can't stop us. Lmao. 17:24

I have super sensitive teeth, probably a side effect from my EDS, and I feel uncomfortable whenever I see someone chewing on ice or biting down on something really cold or hot! I'm using toothpaste for sensitive teeth but I'm still super sensitive and don't really know what to do about it so any useful tips are welcome. And btw, I've had braces and they are NOT pain free! The days after putting in a new thread/arch or whatever it's called I couldn't chew at all and then all my teeth would make a cracking sound when biting down hard and the pain would decrease every day from there. I think I changed the thread like every 2 weeks in the beginning so just when the pain had gone away almost completely it was time for a new adjustment

I'm terrified to do anything with my teeth now, thanks bentist.

I can't believe I am watching this. This is the first time I am watching this channel. You are funny 😂

I got a toothbrush ad before this lol

It hurt really bad

I have had dental impressions so many times due to cleft lip and Pallett. I learned to avoid major gag reflex, I would lift the back of my tongue to keep it feeling like it would go back too far.

The wiggling teeth video got me. 😮 I have dentures and it still made me wanna throw up and then aggressively floss my "teeth". 🤣🤣🤣

14:56 I'm pretty sure that's an expander. I had one when I was twelve and it wasn't too bad.

I have an expander aswell, yet it is more like a retainer and I only turn it once a week. It’s not annoying at all after you have it for a while and turning it barely does nothing besides slightly moving it.

i had braces for almost 2 years give or take. i was so afraid of this but thankfully i didn't end up with the squares. a part of me wants to get my permanent retainer removed though... any shifting should be fine. i'm not too worried about my current gap going back where it belongs.

I had braces and an expander at the same time. I actually had my braces early like 3/4th grade because all my wisdom teeth were pushing through, I had an underbite and there wasn't enough room in the back of my mouth. But now I have my hollywood smile ❤lol

If you ever have to do those impressions and gag reflexes, if you prepare the child or adult a bit: them to relax and breathe through the nose, it helps a lot.That one is just a bit difficult though.

Bro I remember when I was a kid, the dentist had to make an impression for my retainers. I VOMITED ALL THE INSTANT NOODLES I ATE IN THE MORNING.

I'm an NHS dental nurse in the UK and we still have to take these impressions for denutres and nightguards (we don't do ortho in our practice) and I mix algenate at least 20 times a day. The stuff is vile and I have seen more gagging than I care to mention!

“You gots to see it thru my boy” 😭😭

My dentist still uses the nasty goop to take a mold for permanent bridge.

8:39 yea ima go floss my teeth rn…😂

My daughter had issues with breastfeeding. My grandson was having problems latching on. She finally went to a breastfeeding nurse, I am sure they have a better name, and they found that my grandson had an upper lip tie! He was two months old and they layered it. After that she had no problem breastfeeding!

17:25 usually people who bite off their nails with their teeth or fingers expeeience anxiety

I have had that expander before because my mouth was crowded and to small..it was actually a little painful when I had to stick the tool in to expand it more I'm so happy I don't have it anymore

17:32 I honestly believe that due to bad orthodontic treatment when i was a kid, they made my jaw defect worse. I couldn't fully close my jaws/mouth because of these retainers, now i developed additionally a long face syndrome, that wasn't even an issue before the treatment... later, i was taken to a different orthodontist where they extracted my healthy tooth and moved and tilted my upper teeth to match my underdeveloped jaw (it was growing down because i couldn't close my mouth for several years). I had speech issues because of this, and recently joint issues. Now I'm on my journey to undo/decompensate what they did to me and finally get a surgery... The pain due to joint issues made me vomit. Luckily, I got an occlusal splint, and it helps, but that's not a long-term solution. Honestly, i wish they left me alone when i was a kid, i might have less issues than i have now, and the journey to get the surgery would be much easier.

ONE THING ABOUT GAG REFLEX!!! I tend to have gag reflex since I first get my impression, and now quite a lot when eating weird-textured food. The ONE THING one dentist told me to do to reduce the reflex is: BREATHE IN, slowly. Keep your lungs filled up and take short-medium but SLOW breaths. It has worked ever since, I sincerely hope it works for you too~

11:06 at this time lost my last adult teeth LOL ❤❤

currently watching this while brushing my teeth rn 🥰

The palatal expander IS painful when you turn the key

3:30 Funniest Dentist Alive💀😂😭

How do u brush ur teeth when u have braces? My friend is new with it she doesn’t know how to brush plus she doesn’t like flossing

ur the best dentist yt😊

Im in high school and im planning on becoming a dentist because of these videos (and a few other reasons). What do I do now to get ready? Which colleges should I look into?

My brain cells have -0 IQ☠️, I'm still rotting in the inside

The last part which is related to mewing or orthotropics is so interesting to me because I did see my peers with palatal expanders but it was rare like only 1 out of 10 of us would have it. I can confirm myself and others did end up with all those problems later on and made me feel like i just had a bad orthodontist that didn’t think i needed the expander. I’m now on the verge jaw surgery :/ It started as being unable to find someone to recreate my retainer, to tmj- not being to find anyone to make a night guard so i just got OTC to unfortunately seeing x-rays that showed I’m way too late for non invasive procedures. So I wonder why it’s so rare in the orthodontist world to use them (at least back then it was) because i do see how beneficial it was. Also the kids i knew who had the expanders wore their braces way longer than most so that could be why. Tldr! I hope you can talk about this mewing orthotropic thing.. devices and procedures related to it. The first part about braces stains made me sad bc no amount of brushing has ever got rid of them and they’re way more visible as i got older😭 All of this is starting to really make me regret the orthodontist I had..

My dentist still uses those goopy impression things xd. It smells and tastes like those kids bubblegums so i don't mind. But when the dentist always pulls it out it just clacks through the whole clinic and i'm always like oh no is everybody staring at me because of the sound? And then i calm myself thinking oh hey it's a normal sound and it happens all the time! xd

the stretched jaw thing reminded me of somethinmg that happened to my mom. she slipped on some stairs once and hit her chin. it was so hard that it actually pushed the skin on her jaw up, like rolled it and it ripped the inside of her mouth where the bottom lip connects to the gums.

ik this is an old vid but as someone who does nails, i've absolutely seen dental-grade UV resin sold as nail builder gel before!!! Makes me think the retainer thing could work in a more sturdy way lol

I NEED ANSWERS... Do basically my baby teeth only started to fall out when i was 14 and theres this one tooth that still hasnt fallen out yet and isnt that loose and its been 3 years and it hasnt fallen out yet (im 17 now) what should i do?

With 15,000 dollars I can buy a HUGE mansion

I’m new to this channel, but I want you to make a video on temu braces, I don’t need alignment but I saw them on the website and they look sketchy

7:51 Except…she wasn’t using glue. She was using UV resin. Nothing is coming out of hardened resin especially the holo glitter she used.

I also had a lip band between My Teeth in the past. When I got braces I had them cut, I would tell you it is no fun😆

1:46 this sounds like a win!

Bruh the palate expanders are so painful. I don't know if it's because I had a really narrow bite on my upper jaw, but they expounded the pain of my braces 10 fold.

As soon as I heard food coloring...

i've had old school braces for three years, they ended up expanding my mouth so much that my jaw ligaments are now a bit more loose and there's an empty space near my jaw joints. it gets locked pretty easily and now i can sort of move around my lower jaw over the bones of my upper jaw. so uh, they fixed a problem but they created another

The fact that i had the alien looking thing in my mouty, i took an impression ,and HAD BRACES

The capcut outro got me dead, i rlly did not expect that 💀😭

I had the expander

I have braces right now and it created a gap in my two front teeth. I’ve never had a gap there before but now I have a gap and it’s growing bigger. I don’t know if it’s normal because I told my orthodontist and they said nothing

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 Rockin' around the Christmas tree At the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see Every couple tries to stop Rockin' around the Christmas tree Let the Christmas spirit ring Later we'll have some pumpkin pie And we'll do some caroling You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear Voices singing, "Let's be jolly" (ooh) Deck the halls with boughs of holly Rockin' around the Christmas tree Have a happy holiday Everyone dancing merrily In the new old-fashioned way You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear Voices singing, "Let's be jolly" (ooh) Deck the halls with boughs of holly Rockin' around the Christmas tree Have a happy holiday Everyone dancing merrily In the new old-fashioned way (aah)

The kid throwing up reminds me of myself when i went to the dentist. Here kids would always be given this fluoride paste wich was nasty as shit (later on they also had flavours wich were even worse especially the chocolate one) and i would always panic because it made me gag so badly i would panic

15:47 UM as someone who had a pallet expander, it absoLUTEly did hurt 😂 it wasn’t the MOST painful orthodontia I had (that would probably be head gear, mostly bc I had to try and sleep in it) and I don’t say that to scare anyone who might need this- it’s not unmanageable, but it definitely did hurt. And I generally have a pretty high pain threshold, so I don’t think I was being overly dramatic about it

That jaw be dropping like Bob marley

That expander clip looked more like a cleft pallette correction step. Had to adjust my daughters for months before she was ready for a bone graft. Just another possibility

I'm an adult and my gag reflex is so bad that I gag and dry heave violently every time I brush my tongue.
