Great vlog!! ❤️

Some people grind their teeth when they're sleeping, or even when they're not sleeping, including clenching. All of these can lead to gum recession. Unfortunately, bruxism while sleeping can only be countered by wearing a mouthguard.

thanks for sharing! 😊 I wish you would post vlogs and shorts every week 😄 I miss you here🫶🏻

I like the vibes of these videos, and they teach us alot

You two do an excellent job thanks for explaining so well 🥲 Much love John 🫰🏻

your channel is one of my favs!! I really like learning from you. thank you!!!😊

Hi Dr. Yoo, could you explain and demonstrate, brush away from the gums? Thank you so much for making time out of your busy day for posting all the helpful videos. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Great vlog 👍🏻🙂🫰🏻

I need to change my bad habits. thank you for this 👍🏻

Great tips!!🫶🏻🤩

These vlogs are my favs 🤩Every time I see something from u I learn something thanks for sharing

give your assistant a raise i am in love with her

Thank you for sharing, J 🙂🙏 Miss you too. 😊 Seunghee is such a professional at explaining. 👏 J, you're like a proud boss/brother/friend 😆 For the gum recession, would you brush any differently? Could you share more about the specialized care and techniques? If you have any tips for people in my situation, that'd be awesome 🙂🌻 I also had an Oral-B electric toothbrush 2000 that was gifted to me a while back. I noticed slight canine gum recession then. I started to clench my teeth at night ever since my car accident in 2021. I have Invisalign retainers and my dentist suggested getting an NTI. There were times that I sensed the pressure of my clenching after removing my NTI with retainer in the morning. This also doesnt help that I have TMD/TMJ. I wear the NTI on and off just to check when I clench at night. I know I don't clench every night. Clenching might have increased my gum recession and noticed recession along molar areas as well with some bad habits you've mentioned in your videos. I'm doing better with my car accident injuries now just the jaw clenching remains. My dentists said I dont need surgery for TMD/J so I've been trying chiropractic adjustments, massage and acupuncture to relieve jaw pain. I am testing to see which traditional/modern approach works and what I could learn from each practitioner. I backed off from electric toothbrush out of fear that I'm making it worse🥲 Finding a soft toothbrush is like finding a life partner amidst a market of hard/medium toothbrushes.

very informative, thank u ❤️

thanks for sharing!!🤗

you are my hero!!! I will love you forever for sharing these tips, thank you🫶🏻

Thank you for the tips!

more vlogs like this thanks for sharing 🤩 With much respect u are so handsome John 😊

Try using a miswaak stick, Great for teeth and gums

Dr Can u talk about bad and good habits using braces?! thanks for sharing

After wearing braces for several years, I've had to relearn how to brush and floss. It's a hell of a lot quicker now. No interdental brushes needed and flossing is over in like 30 seconds rather than like 2 mins.

thanks for the advise, just wanted to say I am from southern africa and our grannies used to actually tell us to brush our teeth with charcoal/ash I don't know if it's effective or not but its surely traditionally practised in some parts of the world!

Thanks for sharing these tips (: I am a fan of your channel

I’ve learnt something new. Thank you ! Better teeth for me now ig 😅

Thanks for sharing these tips 🤩

thanks for sharing (: What do you think about using Disclosing tablets ??

Greaaaat!!! Me encanto tu vlog (: muy educativo!! gracias por ayudar a corregir errores 🪥

I need that toothbrush… Sooo if after eating we have to wait to brush our teeth, we can use gum Sugar Free?.. Or is it also a mistake?.. good vlog!✨

He back! Dr yoo! The best! ❤😂

Thank you for the video Dr. John, super informative! One follow up question - what is the correct way if we are not supposed to rinse with water after brushing? I feel like I need the water to get rid of the uncomfortable tiny debris in my mouth after brushing. Or should I be using mouthwash to rinse? Or not rinse at all and just spit?

Thank you for giving me dental knowledge N taking care of my teeth🙂🫰🏻I send you a hug🤗

Can you please recommend safe way to whitening teeth?

Thank You!!!

Thank you for the good knowledge you gave.

Omg I committed 6/10 of the things on the list. Thanks for such an informative video , things they don’t really teach in school! 😢

I love u your a great dentist

excellent vlog🤩Can you have gum problems due to genetics?!!

Damn, this video was really convenient, was noticing receding gums, is there any way to regrow them, or does it require surgery if too severe?

It's crazy how so many people don't shot the toilet lid. Overall I love how you educate online especially for people who can't afford dental insurance or someone like me who has dental insurance but I kept on rescheduling 3x but something always came up so I stopped rescheduling

ayo imma buy the toothbrush and stainless steel tongue scraper for my fam. your videos have been really helpful in explaining things to my immigrant parents. they lived in a rural village and back there, healthcare is bad. their teeth are a lil worse fir hair and they've giteen some taken out. i'm trying to encourage healthier habits so they can at least take care of what they have. thanks fir keeping it simple and not shaming those who are ignorant. I might get the water flosser for them as it seems more convenient for flossing even though you should technically do both. Have a lovely day/evening ❤

Hey,Doc! Thank you so much for these educational videos. Not all of us were brought up with any of this, and it has helped me improve my dental health. I have shared these with my friends and they learned a lot too. A future suggestion topic for me would be the flossing. I have tried several kinds of products and I don’t like how it seems to shred or stick between some of my teeth. I understand the importance for sure. I definitely do after eating foods like celery 🦷😁

Honest question: what about baking soda. Is it safe to use when brushing?

Dr. Yoo, thanks for this great video! I went to the Laifen website to view the Wave, but didn't see any replacement brush heads. Where would we order replacement brush heads from?

♥I loved this video very much because it contains a lot of information. I hope you will continue. I benefit from it a lot

Can u explain bad habits for people with braces too?

Great vlog John❤️🫰🏻thank u

Great vlog!! thanks for sharing!!❤️

Thank you for that, it helped me a lot 😀

People are getting mad about Dr. John not rinsing after brushing, but when I asked Kriss ai if that's okay, it turns out it's actually recommended by dentists so that the fluoride has more time to work and protect your teeth!

Thank you for the tips, great video I learnt lots!

Thank you all. Your videos are helping me so much.

Thanks

Thank you so much for this video! Caring about my oral health after getting a handle on my mental health. ❤ For alcaline mouthwash, can I use it right after I wat or do I need to wait at least 30 minutes?

thanks for sharing🤩 Why is it so difficult to kiss with braces?!!😢😅

Top Oral Care Advice 😁 Thankful for this valuable, applicable content 🙏 Congratulations on your contribution to the Laifen Wave electric toothbrush! 👏🙌 Keep up the good work and all your efforts will pay off!

When will you upload a new vlog or short?!?! Over the weekend I watched all your vlogs 😊 Today I finished the last one I hope you publish soon🫶🏻

Video interessante !

Thoughts on oil pullinggg

this video just reminded me to unbox my tongue scraper. 😂 also, I feel highly tempted to get that new laifen toothbrush, but due to my existing gum recession, I will consider going manual instead. thanks for the great video!!! I'm a big fan of the student dentist's explanations. :-)

Its there any treathment?

This was so helpful! Thank you! I had noticed gum recession and i had no idea my electric truth brush was the cause 🥲. I never understood why my gums were receding when i take good care of them.

Can u do a video on growing back gum gum recession? Is it even possible?

had to rewatch for educational purposes…. 1. what is canine recession and how do i know if i have it or not 2. how often should we change out our non-eco friendly plastic tongue scrapers; how to maintain a stainless steel one 3. laifen sounds a bit chinese… any plans to rebrand to something more korean? 😂😂😂i know it’s still early in the morning but my adhd brain just wants to know thaaaaangs lol

Make a video about braces pls doc

Omgosh this is the best dental video advice thank you sm for sharing these insightful reminders ❤️‍🔥 and wow im definitely eyeing in getting that laifen wave 👁️💕

Great tips and advice Dr. Yoo!!

I have the worst brushing skills everrrrr.. Thanks for this video. 🎉 Very helpful & good information.

Very useful I've been following for a while now.

오우! 내가 바라던 비디오네요 감사합니다. 많은걸 알았어요.😂😂😂❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks Doc, Can gum recession be reversed at home with any lifestyle approach?

My problem is I don’t trust any dentists here easily so when I need to do the bite-wing I just need uncle to do it, which is so far away. Except this I m ok, family concerns about the teeth since I was young so it turn out good. To watch urs and listen to my uncle helps a lot, both r the best dentists in my mind 🎉😊🎀

Thanks for the video, it really helps. Is there a way to treat gum recession? Or what would happen to the teeth?

Dr. Yoo, you mentioned about rinsing with water is bad? Did you mean we have to wait after brushing our teeth before rinsing our mouth? What do you rinse with if we can’t rinse with water?

Man I wish more dentists and just professionals were more like you. Looks like you really care about your craft. Especially by replying to people's questions days after the video's been uploaded.

You say it’s not for kids but all of theses tips are super important for kids.

Please make a slower video on brushing demonstration. I don't think I'm the only one that can't do the 45 degrees well. Also the location on the tooth is a bit weird - how to vet the food from between the tooth this way.

Hi 😊 I have receding gums, and I am not sure which toothpaste to use as I always dreamt of my teeth dropping out.

Hey Dr. John you're so handsome. My dream is to meet you in real life one day. You are my inspiration as a pre-dental student. Could you give some tips on getting into dream dental school.

I missed ur vlogs Great tips 😀 Thank you for ur time to share with us 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I make sure my toothbrush is clean and then shake it to partially dry it. Then I put my toothbrush in a ventilated travel case and put it next to my bedrooms window to air dry. This way it doesn't get contaminated from toilet usage.

If we are not supposed to rinse right after brushing, how long do you recommend we delay rinsing? Also, do I follow up with a mouthwash after, or before brushing? Since some mouthwashes contain fluoride is it okay to rinse with water and then do the mouthwash to maintain the benefits of the fluoride? I find it hard to not rinse after brushing. The taste of the toothpaste just sitting there just feels unnatural.

Hi👋🏽 it’s my first time on the channel. Great video! I have questions 🤷🏽‍♀️ Sooo, I already have some gum recession. I use the Nimbus extra soft toothbrush and you’re saying I shouldn’t use an electric incl. the one you mention? I don’t scrap my tongue because I have Sjogrens and my mouth is really dry, I use my brush and scrap forward, is that enough? We should brush at a 45 degree angle in a circular motion and not touch the gums??? A really detailed demonstration would be soooo awesome! And can I just say, do other people not close the toilet lid? What? I grew up doing that and not doing it is just gross😮. What did you think the lid was for if you’re out closing it? Do you know how far those particles travel if you flush without shutting the lid? Srsly 6 feet. Ok TMI…

I didn’t even know half of these things, especially about the using electric toothbrushes on receding gums. All of the dentists I’ve had always told me to use the Sonicare toothbrush, but it was too abrasive and now I have a few places where my gums are receding. I switched to Oral-B and use an extra soft toothbrush head, but I might go back to manual brushing. I never had an issue with it. I just have an issue with dental hygienists not wanting to clean my teeth properly.

Shared before you asked; such a great video!

I have been watching your videos for a few years now and it’s actually because of your videos that my dental hygiene is so much better. Thank you for educating us! I truly appreciate it.

what are your thoughts on interdental brushes instead of flossing? if I don't rinse my mouth right after brushing do I just spit out all the tooth paste and eventually swallow what I couldn't fully spit out? I rinse after brushing because I'm uncomfortable with the toothpaste still in my mouth 😭

Had a friendly that literally had to have surgery for this problem I literally changed the angle of brushing after what happened to him.

My teeth and gums are now thanking you, Dr. Yoo, for this video 🦷❤✨ That brushing right after eating tip really hit hard 😅😅 P.S.: The population really wants to know: is it true that eating an apple really keeps your gums healthy?

Sir what is the gross revenue and overhead costs of your dental practice? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.

I'll take note of your recommendations! thanks for the info! and my question is: does it make sense to use an irrigator?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="170">2:50</a> "Brushing right after eating...wait 30 minutes" Why wait? I understand that pH levels may be too low after eating, but why not just rinse your mouth with water? This is basic chemistry: a cup full of water will IMMEDIATELY raise the pH in your mouth to at least 6.5. There's no reason to wait if you rinse your mouth. Also, once the toothpaste hits your teeth, the pH will also immediateley rise.

Thank you jhon ❤I learned so much from you❤❤❤ keep it up god bless you and your career 💗

I’ve tried an electric toothbrush before and I can’t stand it - the place I go to is always telling me to use one, but I hate it. And I’m concerned about using one because of some gum recession that I have going on - the last time I tried it, I swear I wasn’t pressing too hard, but goodness, my gums were borderline painful. ☹️
