In this video, dental hygienist Whitney discusses the perfect oral hygiene routine, emphasizing the importance of three essential steps: brushing, flossing, and tongue scraping. While some people may want to add extra steps or products, these three steps are necessary for everyone.
Whitney starts by addressing mouthwash, explaining that while it is not necessary for most people, some may enjoy using it for taste or breath freshening. If using an antiseptic mouthwash, she recommends using it before brushing. However, she emphasizes that mouthwash is not required and should only be used if desired.
Moving on to step two, Whitney talks about brushing. She recommends brushing twice a day for two minutes each time. Using an electric toothbrush is her preference, but a manual toothbrush can work as well if used correctly. Whitney also emphasizes the importance of using a fluoride toothpaste, as recommended by the American Dental Association for cavity prevention.
After discussing brushing, Whitney moves on to step three: flossing. The order of brushing and flossing doesn't matter as long as both are done. She personally prefers to brush first and then floss to ensure the floss comes into contact with the toothpaste for cavity prevention. However, personal preference is key.
Whitney explains the proper technique for flossing and suggests using traditional string floss or floss picks. Flossing should be done once a day, while brushing should be done twice a day. She also mentions interdental brushes as an alternative to flossing and recommends them for people with different-sized spaces between their teeth.
Whitney briefly discusses water flossing as another alternative for cleaning between teeth. She suggests using it in addition to one of the other methods mentioned earlier. The order of using a water flosser doesn't matter as long as it is used along with an antiseptic mouthwash first and an anti-cavity mouthwash last.
After addressing the three essential steps, Whitney introduces step four: tongue scraping. She explains that 90% of bad breath bacteria sit on the tongue and recommends using a tongue scraper to remove it. A spoon from the kitchen can also work as a tongue scraper if one is not available.
Finally, Whitney mentions step five, which is using an anti-cavity mouthwash. She suggests using it if one is cavity-prone or has tooth sensitivity. This step should be the last in the routine and emphasizes using an anti-cavity mouthwash rather than an antiseptic one.
In conclusion, Whitney reiterates that the three basic steps for a perfect oral care routine are brushing, flossing, and tongue scraping. She encourages viewers to sign up for her free oral care guide for more tips and information on maintaining a healthy smile.
