When is it too late to get a root canal
Why It's Never Too Late to see Your Dental Hygienist
hello everybody a dream is tea here with
dental L so let's talk about why is it
never too late to see a dental hygienist
and I say a dental hygienist and not a
dentist because I do have my own my own
on practice so I I own a dental L mobile
hygiene so i actually come to your home
to clean your teeth teeth teeth
whitening i do exams everything so i
actually come to your home children
adults seniors it doesn't matter i see
anybody so why is it not too late ever
and i say it's because i've been seeing
a lot of patients lately that have you
know called me they have sent me a
message and they have said it's been
like 13 years since i've been to a
dentist can you help me yes absolutely
you guys it's never too late even if you
think your teeth are horrible they're
probably not even if they are horrible
it doesn't matter this is what i love to
do so i help your mouth be in the
healthiest state possible i do see a lot
of patients where they think that that's
not possible they think even if it's
just been a couple years yes that's a
long time but still it doesn't matter
even if it's been a couple years i have
patients that say i don't think you can
help me my mouth is horrible i am sorry
but i want to get on the right track
it's never too late if it's been two
years it might take a couple hours to do
a teeth cleaning even if you don't want
it all done in one on one appointment i
could come back to do it but it doesn't
matter you guys it is so important to
get the mouth healthy because if the
mouth isn't healthy
you're not as healthy as you could be
even if you think your teeth are
horrible I can make things look amazing
trust me
even if you have so much you know stain
you don't know what to do with it I can
take that stain off and your teeth will
look amazing I have patients say all the
time oh my goodness thank you so much
for helping me my mouth was in such bad
shape but now it just looks
much better and you know it's just so
much healthier for you guys so it's
never too late if it's been 20 years 2
years 10 years 30 years if you've never
been to a dentist it doesn't matter you
always have to start somewhere even if
it's as simple as we sang to you okay
things actually look pretty good but we
need to do a good cleaning it's going to
take about 2 hours do you want to do it
all today or do half today half the next
time even if I say there's a lot of
stain it's going to take also a couple
hours I suggest using a new toothpaste
maybe because some people have low pH in
their mouth where even if you have a
mouth full of cavities that it's it
could be because you are using the wrong
toothpaste some people need a neutral
toothpaste to help to neutralize
everything inside the mouth so then that
way that cavity that cavities bacteria
doesn't have a chance to actually start
in the first place so that's just it
even if you think you're doing
everything you possibly can if if you're
using a toothbrush every day twice a day
if you're using a Waterpik once a day
because you say I don't really like to
use the floss so I use the Waterpik
that's ok if you're using the mouthwash
every night but you still get cavities
you're probably using the wrong
toothpaste for your mouth so I can
actually tell what type of toothpaste
you need to use even if you go to the to
the dentist and you just and you
typically have five cavities every
single time I can probably help you so
the next time you see them or me you
will not get any cavities because it
depends on the pH in your mouth you
might not even be using the right
toothbrush you might not be using it the
right way
so I can help you guys with everything
so I have been a dental hygienist for
almost 15 years now you guys plus I do
um hold a specialty certificate in
dental hygiene so that actually allows
me to do a lot more than your typical
dental hygienist can do so I am so much
more than than just cleaning the teeth I
can actually die I'm diagnosed a lot of
things that your dental hygienist might
not be able to do but if you're seeing a
dentist now that is perfect you guys
that is okay you can still see them and
you would see me for the teeth cleanings
overall if I if I feel you have a large
cavity that I can't take care of so I
can actually take care of small cavities
that do not need needles do not need the
high speed handpiece but they have to be
tight so as a dental hygiene as a dental
hygienist with a specialty certificate I
can actually take care of small cavities
big ones though I do have to refer you
back to your dentist because they might
have to take that out with the high
speed handpiece if it's touching the
nerve you might need a root canal but
that's another story for another day but
I can actually do a lot of things where
you might not need to see your dentist
every six months you can see them every
year but kind of save money that way
because I can do the teeth cleaning
everything else but I would still say to
see them once a yearly just for a dental
exam because they can see things that I
can't see necessarily but I can catch
things before they get a lot worse -
needing a root canal so it's never too
late even I've had a lot of patients
that say wow I thought my teeth were so
much worse you have given me hope thank
you so if you're nervous to see a
dentist you don't have to see a dentist
right away see me and I can give you an
honest opinion and see how things look
plus I do have a little digital camera
to actually take pictures so not x-rays
so I can take pictures inside your mouth
too and that is an amazing tool to just
kind of show you what your teeth look
like and I can teach you guys about like
plaque charter on pH cavities the whole
works and if you guys don't know I do I
tutor a dental hygiene and Dental
Assisting students also so I do teach
so I am all about dental I've been
teaching for about 15 years too so I am
all about dental ask me anything I will
probably know the answer okay I'm quite
the dental nerd so let me know you guys
if you have questions need help any time
send me a message anytime day or night
doesn't matter so thank you guys so much
for watching I hope this helped you and
I'll see you in the next one
