00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 3: adult who is terrified of the dentist.

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 4: Am I alone in that?

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 5: Not?

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.

14
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 5: Still to the stay, even though technologists come a long way,

15
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 5: we still have a lot of acts patient.

16
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing.

17
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 6: Laurence said this a couple of a couple of months back.

18
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 6: It was like, out of all the modern medicine and

19
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 6: the advancements we've made, there's still a bit of a

20
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 6: barbaric feel dentistry, something about.

21
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 4: The tools, the hook.

22
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 3: Should we be scared of the dentist if you come

23
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: to me, no.

24
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 5: No, I think if you find a dentist that you're

25
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 5: comfortable with, that's the main thing that will help you

26
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 5: get through the appointment.

27
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 6: All right, let's run through some stuff and let's see

28
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 6: if we can debunk some myths.

29
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: First things first, how many times a day. Shall we'll

30
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: be brushing our teeth twice please? Right?

31
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 4: Yeah?

32
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: I do twice sometimes three? How often should we change

33
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: our toothbrush?

34
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 5: Every three months? And more so if you're a really

35
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 5: hard scrubber. Once those bristles freight, they're not working properly,

36
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 5: that's for.

37
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: The bend time for you.

38
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: We're obsessive toothbrush changes in our house. I reckon it's

39
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: every month, every three weeks to a month, I throw

40
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 3: mine out.

41
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: What's better normal toothbrush or the little electric ones? You

42
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: know what?

43
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 6: This is?

44
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: The round electric toothbrush.

45
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: Electrics?

46
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: They are better.

47
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 4: They are Why because I was an electric and then when.

48
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm an old school Yeah.

49
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 5: Well I always tell my patients you can never brush

50
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 5: as consistently and as quickly as an electric brush.

51
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: So they've got the timers.

52
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 5: They keep you accountable to two minutes of brushing, yes,

53
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 5: and they've also got pressure sensors most of them do.

54
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 5: They stop you from pressing too hard?

55
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: Right? Well, that was my next question. How long should

56
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: we be brushing for minutes minimum?

57
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: That plucks pesky. It sticks on your teeth like glue.

58
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 5: Right, And the amount of time is more important than

59
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 5: even the brush, So you could have a manual and

60
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 5: brush really well better.

61
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 2: Than a person with an electric If you're brushing for longer.

62
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you right now, there's no way

63
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: on two minutes in the morning, A two minutes really

64
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: long time when you're brushing your teeth. But the electric

65
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: toothbrushes they went a bit far for a while. Like

66
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: I got one which I had an app on my phone.

67
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: I had to put that on and as I brushed

68
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: my teeth, that told me if I'd missed any spots.

69
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: They like, a simple electric toothbrush is fine, right, you

70
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: don't need the app.

71
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,279
Speaker 2: I'm of that philosophy.

72
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 5: If you've got one, like I said, where the pressure

73
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 5: sensor timer?

74
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: You're good.

75
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: Oh they've got timers.

76
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Yes. Let's talk flossing or what. I love that. I've

77
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: got a home. I've got a water blaster.

78
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: Oh he's a obsessor.

79
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: I love a water flosser.

80
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're great.

81
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 4: Love that doesn't like doesn't make them sensitive.

82
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: No, you can control the like the intensity of the water.

83
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: Is it as good as the good old dental floss?

84
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: Old fashioned?

85
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 5: I think as long as you're using something to clean

86
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 5: between your teeth, I'm happy. So if a water floss

87
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: is going to allow you to do that and it

88
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 5: allows you to be consistent, I'm all for it.

89
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: But juditional floss is still great.

90
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: Do you know what I like? I think they're called pixtures.

91
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 4: Have you seen that dish brushes?

92
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: There's all different shapes and sizes. But how often do

93
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: we need to do that?

94
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 5: Well, if you're prone to getting food caught between your

95
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 5: teeth more than once a day, for sure?

96
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: Do you believe that anybody is actually when.

97
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: Your patients come to you and you go, have you

98
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: been flossing times a day? Because I say, yeah, I've

99
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: lost maybe twice in a month.

100
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: Like I'm not a philosopy. Can you tell when people

101
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: are lying?

102
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 5: Oh?

103
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely?

104
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: And don't just let them go?

105
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: Well, you know they'll get a little you know, little

106
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: nudge them and then they're all good to go. But

107
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 5: that's where you come every six months to get a reminder.

108
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: You're doing six.

109
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: Months for the dental dentist to brush your.

110
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: Teeth dent after getting it clean. Nough, it's incredible.

111
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 6: Take this the right way, But what's some of the

112
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 6: worst things we can put in our mouth?

113
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 5: All right, don't use your teeth as tools. So opening

114
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 5: up a bottle, we've all done it.

115
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: Ye, my kids will go to do it all the time.

116
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: I'm like a yep, hopefully not be your bottles.

117
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: What else?

118
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: What about soft drinks and things like that?

119
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean anything really highly acidic.

120
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 5: If you like coke, i'd rather you drink it in

121
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 5: one city. You don't sit there in graze on it

122
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 5: all day because it is frequency over quantity that really

123
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 5: affects your teeth.

124
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 4: What about through a straw? Does that make it better?

125
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: It makes it better?

126
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: That really okay?

127
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: Because I remember getting my teeth white peanut and the

128
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 3: dentist said, okay, well you can't have coffee for twenty

129
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: four hours or something, and it was like, and when

130
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 3: you do drink it through a straw?

131
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Ye you never thought of that.

132
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: Is it true that sparkling water takes the enamel off

133
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: your teeth?

134
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 5: Well, again, it's frequency over quantity. So if you're having

135
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 5: it every single day, you're going to cause issues to

136
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 5: your na.

137
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: Because I'm a prolific sparkling water girl.

138
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Well it's on the rights.

139
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 6: People put in zap to zip taps and I mean

140
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 6: you look at the fridges now at serves.

141
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: Every time I go to a restaurant and they say,

142
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 3: still sparkling.

143
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: I'm always sparkling. That's bad for my teeth.

144
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 5: Yes, if you're a huge consumer.

145
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: What can I do to protect them from that? Because

146
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: I don't want to give up my sparkling water.

147
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 5: Chase with plain water, so whenever I have a little

148
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 5: chaser so it's not sitting on your teeth. It's the

149
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: same with soft drink. Drink water or wine. Chase with

150
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 5: water changes the pH in your mouth.

151
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: Stabilized wine for your teeth, though, I'm going to end

152
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: up like a gummy bear.

153
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: When we're watching Married at First Sight, Oh there's some

154
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: bad teeth.

155
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 6: Lauren and I love watching, like when they've had the

156
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 6: bad chumpers done. You know you can get some bad veneers,

157
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 6: good viniers, implants, that sort of thing. You'd be able

158
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 6: to pretty pretty good at spotting a couple.

159
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: Of faky's, Yes, I would be.

160
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 4: It's that Hollywood white.

161
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: So are you discourage people when they come and say

162
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: I want teeth that is white as paper to go?

163
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't look real.

164
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 5: It can be tricky to manage sometimes. I do always say,

165
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 5: think about if you would be happy with this shade

166
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: in fifteen twenty years time, right, and that's something that

167
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 5: those patients who get veneers come back, you know, even

168
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 5: five years later.

169
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 2: And so I think I went too white.

170
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they don't change color? Wants it?

171
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: No, that's it. They're in Ah so with veneers. Silly question.

172
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 6: But are they stuck on our current teeth or do

173
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 6: you I've heard you grind down the current teeth and

174
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 6: they slip over the top.

175
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 5: So there are non prep veneers which would literally just

176
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 5: be glued on, but a lot of the time they do.

177
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 5: You have to literally shave down your enamel.

178
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: Do you recommend doing that?

179
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 5: Look, there's different situations, obviously, but as a general rule,

180
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: I think if you've got a healthy smile, there are

181
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 5: other routes.

182
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: Well, look, Emma, thank you very much for coming in.

183
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 6: It's it's an everyday activity that a lot of us

184
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 6: don't know a lot about.

185
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: I know, it's scary.

186
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Twice a day at least two minutes.

187
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: Two minutes, all right, Jason, and.

188
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,640
