Wow! I didn’t know antiseptic and anti-cavity mouth washes were a thing. I thought mouth wash was just mouth wash. Thank you for uploading this video. Really helped!😁
I’m a dental assistant and I’m obsessed with oral hygiene for myself since starting 5 years ago. Before I was in dental I had a few fillings and hated getting them done due to gum irritation from injection site and matrix bands. Since I brush and floss 3x a day and use morning antiseptic and evening fluoride rinses I have no cavities and my teeth always feel clean. Love your content and I find it educational for myself in reviewing OHI to my patients
The only time my teeth felt completely clean all day even after eating or drinking was when I would religiously brush twice a day with Arm and Hammer Truly Radiant toothpaste. The best I can describe it was like a continuous minty smoothness when I'd feel my teeth with my tongue that somehow didn't interfere with anything I ate but it's so hard to find now! I was so excited when I found it in Mexico but it wasn't the same. ☹️
I have a question. Can all types of bad breath be treated or cured? And I mean all types of various stages. Like severe halitosis. Or the severe ones cannot be treated/cured....please respond when you can
I’m so glad I found your channel! I’ve been through the wringer with my teeth. I was never taught to brush, and I’ve been through different scandalous dentists, replacing six front crowns three times due to improper ethics and work. Now I'm 24 yrs old. Recently I had an implant on one of them because it was shaved down like a toothpick to place on one of the crowns. Also, an infection on the top of that tooth from the root canal of the previous doctor. I can FINALLY say I found a dentist I can trust. Everything is good and healing nicely. I’m a clean freak about my teeth now. So thank you for being a real one and informing people on proper dental hygiene. ……… And for anyone else reading, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T neglect your teeth. Please do something about it before it’s too late. I have one question, does the bottle have to say antiseptic on it? The one you recommend doesn't in the link.
Hello, I have gum disease and my front bottom tooth is a little loose and dentist told me Because I have gum disease so he cleaned them and I'm told I may lose my tooth unless I start looking after my gum so I started to brush and moth wash daily. Can I save that tooth it's a little loose like it will move a tiny bit and I had purple spots on my gums but since I've been keeping everything clean ive seen them starting to turn pink again.. so do u rekon it's not too late to save my teeth?
The ACT mouthwash that I use has both. Cetylpyridinium chloride is the antiseptic ingredient and .05% sodium fluoride is the anti-cavity ingredient. Best of both worlds!
Hypothetical if I would have watched this video during my Childhood days & had taken it seriously. I would have avoided a Root Canal. I have dentist-phobia! I really don't like dentist.
Don't like going either, for me, its the light above that makes my eyes water badly, even when i shut them. One of my dentist when i was younger had a tv on the roof, don't understand how people can keep their eyes open.
appreciate the explanation of the diffs between anti sep and cavity and best times to use them. thx really helped open my eyes on how to tackle my mouth cleaning regime thx again!
I love watching your videos! They're very helpful and informative. I watch them to help me in school (I'm in a dental assisting program rn) Plus, I love the comedy that you add in your videos! Thank you for this!
I am So glad I found this video , I just purchased act mouthwash and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for . zero alcohol and leaves my mouth feeling fresh all throughout the night, thanks!
Great info. I was confused every time I was at the store and didn't know the difference in mouthwash. Teeth Talk Girl, you have a great personality that fits so good for your profession.
I used to think the “eye watering, intense burning” was cleaning my mouth and tongue and it wasn’t! The best mouthwash for me is Therabreath or Cloysos. The more alkaline the better!
I went to the NHS dentist in early 2023 after missing appointments in 2006. The lovely lady didnt believe that I hadnt been checked in so long but have zero dental problems or issues. I brush twice daily & use Listerine purple. I don't drink or smoke but I do consume energy drinks & junk snacks daily.
Therabreath mild mint is the best mouthwash I’ve tried all other brands and this one works the best. No artificial color, no alcohol and it makes your breath fresh all day literally and no morning breath !
@@lovemuffin10101 apologize for the late reply but I had a quick question. Is it worth to buy Oxyfresh if you already have the TheraBreath mild mint mouthwash ?
I love the burning sensation, it makes me feel like "DIEEE GERMSSS" even if I'm tearing. It also points out the places where I haven't reached because they're not burning.
Thanks for the video. Helped me decide the best mouth wash. I like the part you mentioned before bed and got that one. That’s my plan. Brush and use mouth wash before bedtime and it helps clean throughout the night without eating or drinking until the next morning.
Who else brushes first, then flosses, then uses mouthwash? I personally use ACT but only anticavity. I had no idea there was an antiseptic for gums. Will buy asap
I grew up decades ago - dentists never offered any information about taking care of one's teeth - and years later, I realized they had no idea what they were doing - except pretending u had cavities - and drilling away. There were no dental hygenists at the time. The dentists in NYC/Brooklyn, NY cleaned my teeth - something which they had no training and did a poor job. The dentist I go to now, in southern Calif., has state-of-the-art equipment and a great dental hygenist. Dentistry has come a long way --- and the mouth-washes have greatly improved. I also had no idea they actually help with keeping ur teeth from getting cavities (fluoride) and helping with the gums. I've been using a sonicare electric toothbrush for 25 years - and I highly recommend. Costco sells sets of 2 --- and there are several choices. Read the reviews on their site. Thanks for ur video - such helpful information.
I'm not one that's into pain or anything fetishy like that lol... BUT! For whatever reason I love the feeling that I get when my gums are in pain... I don't ever try to intentionally harm my gums to get that sort of feeling or anything haha, I ain't trying to mess my gums up! Just something I've always noticed. So when it comes to mouthwashes, I'm all over the ones with alcohol :). The pain you get on your gums from swooshing it around feels so good to me lol. Makes me actually want to mouthwash twice a day. I know this is extremely weird, I get it lol. Just wondering if anyone out there has the same sort of issue or am I just truly a weirdo?
I started using listerine blue and my breath started getting worse and worse after using it to the point it was unbearable, I stopped using it all together and it improved vastly.
In a later video, she explains it, but most mouthwashes, especially Listerine, have a bad pH level. Find a mouthwash with a pH level above 6 or 7, and you will be good. And don’t forget that it has to be alcohol-free.
Plax for a full minute before I brush. Then floss before I brush. Then wash out my mouth and finish up with a full minute of Listerine Antiseptic Cool Mint for a full minute. I use half as much as they recommend for twice as long. I have had my teeth cleaned twice in the last 10 years and have not lost a single tooth, instead of 3 cleanings and 3 teeth lost a year before. Works for me.
At every dentist checkup, they ask if I drink coffee because my teeth are stained. I brush twice a day and floss at night. I was thinking about adding a whitening mouth wash to my mornings and ACT restoring after lunch so I can reduce the staining of the 1 cup of coffee I drink per day in the morning. What are your thoughts?
What's your opinion on therabreath mouthwash? That's what I use since those other mouth washes would make my breath worse because of the alcohol..the color ones too. Now I wonder am I harming my gums with only using therabreath?
Hi! Do you think you can make a video of your operatory/drawers set up? Organization & things that have helped you with your appointment routines? Any tips of things you have purchased to organize your op & day flow. Any & all ideas & recommendations welcome! Thanks!
I like the burn personally, I get it's not needed but it pseudo feels like its working more. I always rinse after but I try to use mouthwash longer due to it, if I don't rinse it just makes my mouth water the whole time, it says not to shallow so it just pools up over time (kinda think this is also a psychological thing too) as it only happens after I rinse.
Used to use colgate mouthwash and never felt like it was doing anything but now I only use listerine purple and it feels so much better and I love the burn.
The burn is the alcohol in the mouthwash The alcohol kills the GOOD and bad bacteria in your mouth! Listerine will help your teeth to go bad because of the alcohol.
I use Scope; I dont see anything on the label however that says antiseptic or flouride which makes me nervous because i like the flavors and don't really want to switch. Hmm, I'll be paying closer attention the next time I'm due for replacing these.
Hi Whitney, I have a question about mouth rinses. Since they kill 99% of bacteria, wouldn't usage of them daily (even those without staining ingredients or the non-alcohol ones) destroy even the good bacteria in our mouth? Wouldn't that be bad for our mouth? And how do we then replenish this good bacteria? I did not know that the mouth has good and bad bacteria just like our gut. Or perhaps I am wrong. Can you please do a video or short when you can? 😅
yesss! I did this about peroxide -- but same goes for the alcohol ones! hope this helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_AfaJf4M6Hg.html thank you for watching!!!
Recap Get Mouthwash with Zero Alcohol Use Antiseptic Mouthwash in the Morning Use Anticavaty/ Fluoride Mouthwash at Night (Best for braces and ortho treatment) Mouthwash is not a substitute for brushing or flossing. Wait 30 minutes after using Anticavaty/ Fluoride Mouthwash before eating/drinking again.
THE LISERINE TOTAL CARE IS MY FAVORITE i HAVE BEEN USING SINCE i WAS SMALL LOVE IT ONLY NOW USE THE pURPLE ONE i LIKE THAT BURN..THINK I AM USED TO IT..
Great video! I have a question: I only use antiseptic mouthwash because I am prone to gum bleeding/gingivitis. Would it be helpful to also use fluoride mouthwash if I’m not prone to cavities (I’ve never had any afaik) or would it not do anything for me? I have had two root canal treatments if that makes a difference. Thanks!
Thank you for your videos : you really help. "To rinse or not to rinse, that is the question ?" Some professionals recommand not to rinse after brushing, others recommand to rinse. In case of using a supercharged toothpast (e.g. fluoryd 13,500 ppm) what would you recommand ?
Great question! I feel it depends on the patient and we determine that on a case by case basis. Ask your dental provider for their opinion on your individual case. Hope this helps!
I love your videos! I was wondering if you could do a video on the most ethical brands to buy from? Thinking of toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc. Hoping you can put some general tips (for those outside USA~ I'm in the UK) on what to identify! It's hard to be sustainable and responsible for our health when there are so many brands exploiting our ignorance :'( Really wanna do better~ Would TOTALLY appreciate it. Thank you for your time! !! ❤️
Ok after watching this video, I also have the realisation. But today when I saw a hygienist to clean my teeth, he says that mouthwashes are nonsense. He says that the antiseptic ones such as Listerine Total Care and Colgate Savacol will stain the teeth and cause plague to become tartar even faster. I am so frustrated at how different dentists/hygienists say different things. He also says the best is just salt water rinses which we can make at home. I hope for some clarification.
he totally has a point! mouth wash is not important compared to brushing & flossing! here is my video about mouth wash & tooth stain - hope this helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-277VRQM6rXg.html
I really just see mouthwash as an add on thing. I honestly don’t do it that much. I have never found one that doesn’t gross me out. I hate the flavors. I brush, traditional floss, and use a Waterpik and my mouth doesn’t feel like it even needs something additional. I’m not cavity prone either. My husband uses mouthwash religiously, though and loves them.
I agree. Like I said in the video - mouth wash does not replace brushing and cleaning between teeth. It is definitely an add on thing for most patients.
What about when it comes to using hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash. Would hydrogen peroxide be considered an antiseptic or an anticavity when it comes to oral hygiene? With that being said is it okay to use hydrogen peroxide everyday?
I wish I had known this stuff a long time ago I have small stains which could become cavities and this whole time I've been using the wrong mouthwash D:< No wonder it didn't seem like it was helping my teeth, it was mostly just helping my gums. I never had a problem with my gums and I still don't so this whole time I've just been wasting time with the wrong mouthwash. Going to walmart tomorrow for new mouthwash, thanks so much for the video you really help me out here.
What do you think about Listerine Total Care? Is it better to get antiseptics and anti-cavity mouthwashes separately or 2-in1 or is there no difference?
What order should I floss, brush, and use mouthwash? I have a flouride mouthwash but I always floss then brush my teeth before I go to bed and am not sure if using the fluoride wash immediately after brushing will be bad or good. Thanks in advance!
As long as the fluoride mouthwash is the final step and you do not rinse with water after - you are good! Happy to hear you are brushing AND flossing!!!
What if I rinse with an antiseptic first, and then a fluoride/anti cavity mouth rinse… is that bad? I do them both in the morning and at night at the same time, I just rinse with the antiseptic rinse first, and then the anti cavity rinse second. That way I can allow it to sit in my mouth for 30 minutes. Also on that note! After the 30 minutes is up, is it fine to have a drink of water?
I used to like Listerine until the other night when I used it and felt like my mouth was on fire (I didn’t think I was going to be able to swish for the entire minute because of how much it burned). It was really odd because I’ve used Listerine before and have never experienced that much pain from using it as I did the other night
My routine is MORNING: antiseptic, brush, floss, fluoride, NIGHT: antiseptic, brush, floss, Fluoride. Is this okay? Should I do fluoride twice a day and antiseptic once? Should I stay with the routine? Any changes?
I am by no means a Dental worker - just repeating her video; Antiseptic helps gums health & breath. Anticavity is for teeth enamel & cavities. She reccomends Antispetic in the morning and anticavity at night if you're using both. She says you can use Anticavity (flouride) in the morning if you're cavity prone. Anticavity (Flouride) is reccomended leaving on for 30 min so you shouldn't rinse this out with water. (So the Flouride actually works on the teeth) But Antiseptic you can rinse out. ^ my Hygenist actually told me this yesterday as well.
One thing that literally no one talks about is that using mouth wash regularly WILL stain your teeth.... It's a fact and I personally experienced it...
Thank you for this video. Informative on the Listerine colour coding, but for those of us not in N. America (UK based), are you able to advise of the difference between Listerine Antiseptic vs Chlorhexidine re: Gum Disease mouthwash? Thank You again for your videos, and your time.
thank you for watching!!! my advice for those specialty mouth washes is to ask your dentist which they recommend for you. but in general - antiseptic is more straightforward for routine use. however, some patients may be prescribed to use chlorhexidine - so like I said - always ask your dentist about your individual mouth. hope this helps!!!
Great video! So informative and allowed me to learn something new! I would like to incorporate a zero alcohol antiseptic mouth wash to my routine? Do you know of any or have recommendations?
