Dentists Debunk 14 Teeth Myths

"Your oral health is a part of your overall health." Yeah tell that to the US healthcare system that makes us buy separate insurance policies for our eyes and teeth like they're not part of our bodies.

I think ppl think it whitens because the charcoal is so dark that afterwards your teeth seem brighter in contrast.

Why are these two dentists so much more charismatic and personable than any dentist I've ever met in person??

I didn't really believed my dentist when he told me I was grinding my teeth, but accepted to try a mouth guard anyway. I broke three in one year. I don't doubt him anymore!

I wish my dentist was this cool

I love how straight forward this video is. Without any long intro and annoying pretentious humour for a comic relief. Absolutely loved it.

Dentist here. I have spent over a decade asking people with healthy teeth what they do to stay healthy, and asking people with unhealthy, or often, missing teeth what they did to get to that point. This video is excellent. Spot on. There are so many sources of misinformation online about oral health. It’s refreshing to see a video that actually offers good advice. Great job, guys!

THANK God that someone said something about them wisdom teeth. I've been waiting for them to start hurting, and they just dont. I thought something was wrong

Dentist: No, toothaches aren't always a sign of cavities Me: Oh phew, I was feeling a little pain in m- Dentist: They can also be a sign of gum disease, tooth decay... Me: 👁️👄👁️

Myth 6: I always tell my patients that brushing your teeth is the same al washing your hair... is the technique, not the fury and the strength on how you do it

"Wisdom teeth can stay" sounds like something a wisdom tooth would say...

The dentist I work for always says "its never cheaper or easier to fix than it is today" and that has really stuck with me taking steps to protect my mouth health

"White teeth = Better health" People who bleached them: 😬

Biggest myth - Any American can afford good dental care.

Many people still aren't aware of the 20-30 minutes recommended waiting before brushing after eating so thank you for spreading that information further 😊 I try to spread it too as much as possible and people are always shocked

“You don’t HAVE to get your wisdom teeth removed” (Cries in all four wisdom teeth were impacted)

Myth 9 (brush your teeth after every meal) is a big problem in South Korea. Like, I understand wanting to freshen your breath after eating because Korean foods use strong-smelling ingredients, but damn they hit the nearest sink to brush their teeth straight after the last bite. They're taught to do this since kindergarten and adults think it's weird when us foreigners don't do it. I ended up succumbing to peer pressure and brushed my teeth after eating when at work, but I tried to wait the 30 mins if at all possible.

I only had two wisdom teeth. Sadly, they decided to join the party horizontally so they had to be eliminated.

When I took my wisdom teeth out, I felt my jaw SOOOO relieved. I suffered from tension in my jaw my whole teenage years, and I believe it actually gave me stress and anxiety. I would feel my jaws tense up a lot, and giving me headaches.

As someone with all 4 of my "wisdom" teeth I can honestly say that I don't think they're holding up their end of the bargain. I had to learn everything the hard way. The wisdom teeth didn't help at all!
