00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:12.160
You

2
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:30.120
You

3
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:10.200
You

4
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.100
Goodness how time does fly so sorry I'm late, but those bacteria in there just couldn't wait

5
00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:19.680
I mean, I'm late. I couldn't find your door first. It always be on time especially for your dentist appointment

6
00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:23.640
Scared I'm not scared

7
00:01:24.860 --> 00:01:26.680
Well, there are things I'd rather do

8
00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:29.400
I

9
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:30.400
We going inside

10
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.440
Inside where and what's that got to do with being afraid my colleagues and I represent quite an honored profession, you know

11
00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:41.120
I know the minute we get inside your office. You're gonna start flailing around inside my mouth

12
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:47.400
First of all, we are inside my office. And secondly, I don't see any flails around do you how can you work on my teeth out here?

13
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.580
Please you can't expect me to work on every mouth that comes along. No, no, no, no

14
00:01:51.580 --> 00:01:57.120
Better for all concern if you work on your own mouth me who else has the time and is always around

15
00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:00.540
Oh, yes, you're the one for the job. I do hope you understand

16
00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:04.160
Well, I don't and this is the weirdest dentist office I've ever been in

17
00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:09.420
Are you sure I'm in the right place? Not at the moment, but step right this way and you will be what's a plague room?

18
00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:10.580
black black

19
00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:16.520
What's a plaque room you asked for the right place and this is certainly the one to begin with Wow

20
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.880
Don't be silly you wouldn't know it but you'd be proud to have a tooth that fine in your own mouth, wouldn't you?

21
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.320
It's a little big how proud would you be now?

22
00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:27.300
How'd you do that?

23
00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:31.960
What did you do? Lo the wonders of a simple disclosing solution?

24
00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:39.340
What's all that stain stuff not stuff plaque dental plaque? That's the reason you've been going to see a dentist all your life

25
00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:43.600
I thought it was because I had cavities and just what do you think causes cavities?

26
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.460
What is plaque anyway

27
00:02:48.460 --> 00:02:54.740
Dental plaque is a sticky colorless nearly transparent film which forms continuously on your teeth

28
00:02:54.740 --> 00:03:00.400
It is composed primarily of bacteria along with saliva and debris pay attention

29
00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:07.220
Nobody knows more about plaque. He discovered it after all plaque concentrates bacteria and fermentable carbohydrates

30
00:03:07.220 --> 00:03:13.220
Especially sugars on specific tooth surfaces and produces the acids that begin the tooth decay process

31
00:03:13.220 --> 00:03:21.120
Furthermore plaque buildup along the gum line produces irritants that result in damaged inflamed gums the main cause of tooth loss in adults

32
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:26.500
The infected gums begin to recede leaving pockets of infection which continue to destroy the tissue

33
00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:30.780
Eventually, not only the gums are destroyed but the underlying tissue and bone as well

34
00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:34.660
While most are not aware of it because it is rarely painful in its early stages

35
00:03:34.660 --> 00:03:41.520
90% or 9 out of every 10 American adults suffer from periodontal disease at one time or another

36
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:48.800
You mean they're all gonna lose their teeth. There's every possibility of that. Well, isn't there anything you can do? Oh dear me

37
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.640
Yes, if people would only listen, I'm listening

38
00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:57.700
It's quite sad too many people assume that as they grow older, they're gonna lose their teeth and be forced to wear dentures

39
00:03:57.700 --> 00:04:03.120
It's all nonsense teeth were designed to last a lifetime. I hope mine lasts till I get home

40
00:04:03.940 --> 00:04:05.840
There are two ways you can make them last

41
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:12.700
Animals born and kept in specially built cages to protect them from all germs and bacteria have no dental decay

42
00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:18.280
You can't seem to find anybody to try that way so we use a second method

43
00:04:18.280 --> 00:04:26.240
We know that tooth decay and periodontal disease can be dramatically reduced by a systematic daily removal of bacterial plaque

44
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:31.200
That's where you go to work where in the next room and if we did keep all the germs away

45
00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:32.820
We wouldn't have the ones we need

46
00:04:34.060 --> 00:04:40.100
Who said that said what who needs healthy teeth indeed? I'll tell you who everybody without healthy teeth

47
00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:43.980
You can't chew and that's the first step in digestion without healthy teeth

48
00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:46.520
You can't talk right and it will be difficult to understand you

49
00:04:47.380 --> 00:04:51.120
Here we are brushing and flossing room without healthy teeth

50
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.140
Your face will get all crooked and out of shape and terrible things like that. That won't happen to you

51
00:04:57.220 --> 00:04:57.740
catch

52
00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:02.120
Disclosing solution fight the enemy you first have to see him

53
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:07.760
Just slosh that around in your mouth before you brush and you'll know right where to concentrate your scrubbing now the bright red mouth, too

54
00:05:07.760 --> 00:05:12.000
Nonsense, it's a simple vegetable dye pretty much disappears when you rinse

55
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:16.660
except for the stained plaque that you have to clean off with brushing and

56
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.200
Flossing and that's the whole point. Of course. I already know how to brush don't be so sure

57
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:29.180
Up on the lower teeth stroke stroke down on the upper teeth stroke stroke

58
00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:30.500
That's a pretty nice little to it

59
00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:35.900
Don't you think but we dentists think we've come up with a still more effective method then how do your brush?

60
00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:40.740
Place the head of the toothbrush alongside your teeth with the bristles angle against the gum line

61
00:05:41.960 --> 00:05:45.380
Scrub moving the brush back and forth with short gentle strokes

62
00:05:45.380 --> 00:05:49.780
Keep the brush angled covering the outer surface of every tooth upper and lowers

63
00:05:49.780 --> 00:05:53.540
Then use the same method on the inside surface of every tooth

64
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.780
Use a vertical stroke with the toe of the brush for the inside of the front teeth

65
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:05.400
Finished by brushing the biting surface of every tooth. He does have a way with words doesn't he I'd say has a way with brushes

66
00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:11.160
Not just any brush. Oh, we get him quite upset. He's very particular about that. Okay, what kind of brush?

67
00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:17.300
He thought you'd never ask for most people the best brush for plaque removal has a straight handle

68
00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:21.740
Flat brushing surface and soft and rounded bristles that are less likely to injure guns

69
00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:25.040
The head of the brush must be small enough to reach every tooth

70
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:33.620
Thus little people need little brushes and big people need little brushes too replace the brush often a worn out toothbrush will not clean teeth

71
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.200
Far out. Yes, very but the brush won't help if you don't use it. That's the secret

72
00:06:40.200 --> 00:06:46.540
Brush before you go to bed and brush before you get up in the morning brush after every meal and every snack

73
00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:51.560
Brush while you're doing the dishes and brush while you're watching tv. In fact brush all the time

74
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.000
Oh, you gotta be kidding. Oh, forgive me, but it is so very important to brush off and make it a habit

75
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.860
At least brush once a day every day of your life

76
00:06:58.860 --> 00:07:04.860
And if you're too little to brush ask your mommy to brush for you. What's all this? That's so fast. You forgot the toothpaste

77
00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:08.740
I didn't forget it. He forgot it. He never forgets anything

78
00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:11.480
Toothpaste aids in the removal of dental plaque

79
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:16.460
Flavored toothpaste can increase your brushing pleasure and freshen your mouth for a short while

80
00:07:16.460 --> 00:07:22.640
But only a fluoride toothpaste can aid in fighting decay dental floss. What i'm a little upset

81
00:07:22.640 --> 00:07:25.460
You didn't know already what this is, but it's not too late

82
00:07:25.460 --> 00:07:29.660
I suppose you think it's enough just to remove the plaque you can readily see it's not

83
00:07:29.660 --> 00:07:35.720
What about the hidden plaque the plaque your brush can't reach but how does string help break off approximately?

84
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:42.640
18 inches of dental floss and wind most of it around your middle finger wind the rest around the same finger on your other hand

85
00:07:42.640 --> 00:07:47.300
Using thumbs and forefingers guide the floss between teeth sawing gently to the gum

86
00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:52.880
Then form a c-shape and gently move the floss into the space between tooth and gum

87
00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:56.980
Slide the floss up and down holding it tightly against the tooth

88
00:07:56.980 --> 00:07:59.320
Any questions gil?

89
00:07:59.460 --> 00:08:02.260
What did he say? He said it would be a breeze and no time

90
00:08:02.260 --> 00:08:05.400
I mean really you don't expect a person to spend a whole day flossing

91
00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:09.840
No, all it takes is a few minutes once you get the hang of it. Remember make it a habit

92
00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:11.340
What's next?

93
00:08:12.640 --> 00:08:14.000
Not next still

94
00:08:14.900 --> 00:08:22.740
I don't understand as usual fluoridation of drinking water is still the most practical safe and effective preventive measure against tooth decay

95
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:28.800
Children who've been drinking fluoridated water from birth have up to 65 fewer cavities

96
00:08:29.900 --> 00:08:36.340
And we knew that before we even knew the importance of emphasizing plaque control. Is it safe to go in there safe? It's natural

97
00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:36.340


98
00:08:38.420 --> 00:08:42.380
Why fluoride is found naturally in almost all the food you eat or water you drink

99
00:08:42.380 --> 00:08:46.540
All you need is one part of fluoride for every million parts of water

100
00:08:46.540 --> 00:08:50.480
Just that much renders your tooth enamel less susceptible to acid attacks

101
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.520
Drink this

102
00:08:56.620 --> 00:08:59.020
Now drink this

103
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:01.540
Which is which

104
00:09:01.540 --> 00:09:05.640
Is what they're no different precisely one of those was fluoridated

105
00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:10.360
But there was absolutely no difference in the taste odor color or hardness of the water. So there

106
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.820
Well, that doesn't mean they're safe to drink skeptic

107
00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:20.700
Many years of detailed study and research are required before any health measure is recommended for the world community

108
00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:26.860
The benefits of fluoridation have been thoroughly documented during decades of dental research

109
00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:33.200
We have found absolutely no harmful effects from the recommended amount of fluoride

110
00:09:34.340 --> 00:09:42.380
Convinced i'm convinced but still scared. What if my water isn't fluoridated save your fears for serious problems for kiddies

111
00:09:42.380 --> 00:09:49.580
One fluoride tablet taken every single day without fail from birth to 12 or so to cover the eruption and growth of teeth

112
00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:53.860
It's plenty of protection for oldsters like you and your parents

113
00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:57.020
All that you may need is a periodic topical fluoride application

114
00:09:57.020 --> 00:10:02.500
Of course, I do that for you after I personally clean and dry your teeth quality control, you know

115
00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:07.360
And topical applications every year may be recommended even if your water is fluoridated

116
00:10:08.060 --> 00:10:13.400
What's wrong? Well, sometimes I feel like you're just not paying attention. Why do you feel that way?

117
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.700
Well, you've already forgotten about the fluoride toothpaste and that was just the last room

118
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.000
So

119
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:29.260
Some fluoride toothpaste have been recognized as effective decay preventive dentifices by the american dental association consul on dental therapeutics

120
00:10:29.260 --> 00:10:32.380
Wonderful people never forget the things that are most important

121
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:34.500
nutrition room

122
00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:38.340
You are what you eat. Well, your teeth are anyway

123
00:10:38.920 --> 00:10:44.000
I'll have to take your word for it. Don't you dare but i'll try to help you find out

124
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:49.420
Do you know what you ate last thursday? I can hardly remember if I ate last thursday typical

125
00:10:49.800 --> 00:10:55.080
Now try this do you know how to tell if your diet is wholesome if you're getting all the foods you and your body need

126
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:59.400
How you ask me? How can I evaluate your diet when you don't even remember what you eat?

127
00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:06.900
But golly doctor prevent what's this got to do with plaque I will ignore your impatience for the moment

128
00:11:06.900 --> 00:11:12.520
As you should know there are four basic food groups bread and cereals milk vegetables and fruits meat

129
00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:19.680
No help from your friends. You don't need an expert to know that every meal should have a representative from each of those groups

130
00:11:19.800 --> 00:11:23.260
I I noticed there wasn't a group for candy and sweets

131
00:11:23.260 --> 00:11:27.640
Oh, don't get me wrong sugar is most necessarily essential to a balanced diet

132
00:11:27.640 --> 00:11:33.780
But you and your fellow citizens have to go overboard. What's wrong with sugar the kinds of sweets you eat and how often you eat them

133
00:11:33.780 --> 00:11:36.860
Are the most determining factors in the development of dental disease?

134
00:11:37.140 --> 00:11:39.580
See how these little tidbits make your mouth water

135
00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:43.880
When certain strains of bacteria found in plaque come into contact with sugar

136
00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:49.140
Dextrin is formed dextrin is a sticky substance that attaches plaque to the teeth

137
00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:52.580
So

138
00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:57.860
Sucrose or common table sugar combines with certain bacteria in the plaque to form the acids that attack tooth enamel

139
00:11:57.860 --> 00:12:06.000
Every time sugar enters your mouth your teeth are attacked by acids

140
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:13.940
Giving sweets as rewards to children is likely to produce adults who have the most pleasant associations with the eating of sweets

141
00:12:13.940 --> 00:12:17.880
And problems of overweight on dental decay

142
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:27.120
All sweets as far as tooth decay is concerned. There is no difference between sugars natural or refined honey and syrup too

143
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:32.500
That doesn't leave anything to snack on of course it does teeth just love fresh fruits and vegetables

144
00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:36.240
That's not bad at all. No, but it can only get worse if you haven't been paying attention

145
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:42.980
I just wish I could remember what I ate last thursday then start today keep a daily diary of everything you eat

146
00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:48.140
When I see that then I can tell you when you've been getting too much of something or not enough. It's a deal

147
00:12:49.020 --> 00:12:51.600
Wonderful here have a carrot. Is it a wall?

148
00:12:53.540 --> 00:12:58.840
What's he got to do with plaque just another contributor and speaking of contributors better tell your mother

149
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.700
It's doubly important that she eat right because she's going to have a baby

150
00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:06.160
Because the food she eats will build that baby's teeth as well as keep her own teeth healthy

151
00:13:06.920 --> 00:13:11.560
Hey, that's my hint. How did your office get down here? It didn't you did

152
00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:14.680
Why does it say reward room because that's what it is

153
00:13:14.680 --> 00:13:21.720
This is where you come to visit me for your periodic checkups and x-rays and diet counseling and teeth cleaning and good things like that

154
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:28.280
That's rewarding. It's rewarding when we may never have to fill another cavity for you. Wouldn't you say I would say

155
00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:35.180
And there are others you probably haven't even thought of like brighter cleaner teeth pleasant breath comfortable chewing and better health in general

156
00:13:35.180 --> 00:13:39.320
Oh, yes, there are many rewards for working on your own teeth. How can I thank you?

157
00:13:40.760 --> 00:13:42.600
By stepping right this way

158
00:13:43.700 --> 00:13:47.740
Operation room couldn't we have stuck with the rewards a little longer first things first

159
00:13:48.180 --> 00:13:53.880
This is one room. I can't go in with you, but you just practice all you've learned today and you won't have any trouble

160
00:13:53.880 --> 00:13:56.340
I'll just check your progress till i'm sure you've got the habit

161
00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:59.260
Then I won't have to see you for months

162
00:14:06.920 --> 00:14:11.580
That's right, you're in charge of operations now and after what you've learned today

163
00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:14.400
You're in good hands. See you again
