 Hello everybody Andrea Trosky here with dental tutoring. Please excuse the mess We just moved last week and we're still unpacking So those boxes are the next things for me to move because I can see they are right in the angle of the camera So what I would like to talk to you guys about today is actually a question that somebody else had for me a Few people have been asking me lately what toothpaste I Use so and so I will show you in case you want to know But I will also tell you why I use them now keep in mind that everybody's different. I have You know fairly healthy teeth, so I could technically use any toothpaste I wanted to because I don't need you know a certain toothpaste safe for cold-sensitive teeth I don't need a certain toothpaste because I have gum Disease or you know like I don't need things like that. So depending on your Personal needs you might need a certain toothpaste for that If you're not sure something like a you know Overall care so like a Crest Pro health a Colgate I think it's called total care, you know look for a toothpaste that says like overall care or Total care or something like that because that looks at everything and it's usually a pretty good toothpaste but the ones that I like are the pro enamel and Let me also say that I'm not being paid by pro enamel to show you guys this I'm not being paid by any company to show you this This is just my personal toothpaste is pro enamel and I'll tell you why because I have thin enamel You guys probably can't tell but my teeth are fairly translucent. Okay, let's see No, you guys can't tell but they're fairly Translucent so when my teeth were developing they just didn't fully develop properly I have thin enamel which means It's very easy for me to get cavities every time I get a checkup by the dentist, which is every six months I have incipients in there and if you're a normal person watching this and not a dental professional Incipients means that I have tiny Cavities inside the mouth that aren't through the enamel yet So it's not something that we need to fix So incipients are so tiny that yes, they are there and if they become larger Then they do become large cavities that have to be fixed But they could stay the same and never cause a problem or if I brush and floss thoroughly Then the incipients could become less or go away. So those of us who have thin enamel This is a normal thing to happen. Okay, so this helps to make my enamel stronger Okay, because what pro enamel does is it it applies a thin layer over the Teeth not something that you can tell it's pretty much Microscopic, but it's a thin layer to help to protect the enamel. So every time I eat something Drink something my enamel is protected Whereas if I did not use pro enamel Anytime I would eat or drink something it would sink into my enamel and since I have thin enamel that could cause a cavity Depending on what I'm eating or drinking. So if I'm eating things that have high acid in them like Lemon water pop, you know things like that orange juice and that could sink into my enamel and cause a cavity But with pro enamel this is protecting my enamel So it sinks into the pro enamel if that makes sense and it just helps me not develop a cavity So does that make sense? So this isn't for everybody This is for those people who have thin enamel or for those people who drink or eat a lot A lot of things that are acidic So if you have lemon water every day, you need pro enamel because lemons are acidic and a Little tip with that is with the lemon water drink through a straw So you're not touching all of your teeth all the time because if you haven't seen my Video that I did last week or two weeks ago about acid attacks Every time you are eating or drinking something with acid that acid attack lasts 20 minutes in the mouth So what that means is that acid is eating away at your enamel for 20 minutes So if you're sipping through lemon water throughout the day each sip is 20 minutes of that acid attack So that's how people get cavities and that's how people get sore Sensitive teeth because it's just eating away at the enamel the enamel does not have nerves But underneath your enamel you have tons of nerves. So that's how things can get sensitive. So that's why I use pro enamel I also use though sometimes Okay, here we go. I use Crest 3d white which is kind of hard to see Because okay about a month ago I thought that my teeth looked a little bit yellow and I was not and I was being a more Conscious of not having things too acidic in my mouth So I used this for about two weeks every day and my teeth looked amazing afterwards. So I love I love it Sorry guys something just popped up here So it's not something that I use all the time But if I feel my teeth are looking a little bit yellow then I use this and this stuff is awesome But then I go back to my pro enamel to make sure that I'm protecting my teeth So floss so I like a thin floss. Okay Everybody's different. So please keep that in mind. You need to find a floss that you like I have tried horrible ones. I have tried thick ones I have tried super-duper thin ones that I didn't like and They would either get stuck in my teeth The floss would tear it would hurt So you need to find one that you like because if you do not find a floss that you like You will not floss and then you have problems because you need to floss every day So this is the floss that I use But I also like oral be satin floss as well because it's nice and thin my teeth as you can see are Pretty close together. So I need a thin floss to be able to get in there And I did do a video earlier today about how to floss So make sure to look at that too because that is actually very helpful because you might think that it's easy to floss But it's not if you have never been shown how then how is it easy? You know, how are you supposed to know we we all have to learn something for the first time So do not be ashamed if you don't know how to floss But watch the video and that will help you so I brush you guys three times a day Honestly in the morning after lunch and at night. I'm a dental hygienist. So I would know this is what I do And I floss every day. I Like to floss when I'm sitting in front of the TV because I'm sitting there anyway I'm watching a movie or a show or something and that just helps me I know some people like to floss in the shower So just kind of find something that works for you floss every day Some people ask me do you floss before you brush or afterwards you can honestly Excuse me clearly. I need some water because I'm losing my my voice Sorry guys so You can floss anytime you want honestly as long as it's every day. I've been a dental hygienist for 13 years I know what I'm talking about as long as you're doing it every day But the right way the perfect way is to floss before you brush because if you floss before you brush You're loosening up the plaque that's in between the teeth And then you use the toothbrush to clean it all away but there's no harm in Flossing afterwards in the morning afternoon evening. It doesn't matter We just want you to floss because if you're not flossing then that Plaque can harden into tartar and that you can't take off and then things become sore It causes cavities. You don't want any of that. So floss every day If you're the type of person who's like oh shoot I've been flossing like once a month. This isn't good start today start today to floss every day And because it's never too late to floss you guys if you haven't been flossing for a while Keep in mind that your gums will probably bleed a lot But keep flossing because it just means that the gums aren't used to it But keep flossing and the bleeding will stop if it doesn't stop within let's say two weeks to a month Because sometimes it takes longer But let's say two weeks then a book an appointment with your dental hygienist to make sure that the teeth are nice and clean Because you might be missing an area or tartar that is causing the gums to bleed So we can help you we can help you. This is what we do. So yeah you guys. So that's my fun products There you go. If you guys have questions, let me know and I'll see you guys in the next video
