Um she’s just taking off a teeth whitening strip 😂 This video is dramatic and definitely exaggerated HOWEVER hormonal changes during your period CAN affect your mouth (not like this tho because it’s a whitening strip lol)!

During menstruation, shifts in estrogen and progesterone can increase inflammation, which may lead to:
🦷 Gums that bleed more easily
🦷 Increased sensitivity or tenderness
🦷 Mild gum swelling
🦷 Small sores or irritation in the mouth

Actual “cheek peeling” like this? Extremely unlikely. That’s not how oral tissue behaves. If you’re noticing tissue sloughing, persistent sores, or pain, then that’s worth checking with a dental professional. Sometimes an ingredient found in some toothpastes called “sodium lauryl sulfate” or “SLS” can cause some people’s mouth tissues to slough a bit… but not THIS much!

Overall, your mouth is part of your body, and hormones absolutely influence oral health! Just not in the viral, scary way social media videos like this make it seem. Don’t panic over clickbait :)

As a dental professional, that doesn’t look like a veneer prep to me 👀 Dental veneers cover the front of the tooth with a small wrap to the back, while crowns cover the entire tooth and often have a peg-like core underneath. Either way, accidents happen, and she still has a beautiful smile!

what’s your pick?

as a dental hygienist who has never had a cold sore… I would pick (1) no bad breath because OF COURSE it’s the worst in social situations and (2) no cold sores because although I’ve never had one I know I never want one PS I also obviously would want free dental work for life and natural white teeth forever but in these hypotheticals it just means I wouldn’t have to put in the work for white teeth… and I’m willing to continue using whitening strips a couple times a year versus just having “naturally” white teeth. as for canker sores — ehhh I’ve got them before but luckily ain’t that bad compared to BAD BREATH at the worst times at social events lol

Reasons your teeth aren’t getting white:
🦷 whitening products scams (make sure your product contains peroxide)
🦷 plaque on your teeth (brush and floss better)
🦷 tartar on your teeth (get a professional cleaning)
🦷 thin enamel and/or micro-cracks (check with your dental professional)

For even more reasons and details on whitening not working, watch my latest video on YouTube.com/TeethTalk! If you’re seeing this at a later date, just search “can’t get white teeth talk girl” and it will pop right up :)

Sensitive teeth? Try spot treating! Instead of just brushing with anti-sensitivity toothpaste and hoping for the best, apply the toothpaste directly to the tooth (or teeth) before bed and let it sit overnight. Simple, underrated, and one of my favorite hygienist-approved tips!

Save this for later & send to someone who flinches with cold water!

toothbrushing with birds?! oh my goodness I love this because I LOVE birds and teeth! that said… quick FYI from a dental hygienist: this isn’t the best brushing technique for everyday use. scrub brushing like this may be okay on the occlusal (chewing) surfaces, but for the fronts and backs of your teeth, it can be too aggressive and may irritate gums or contribute to recession over time. for those areas, gentle small circles with your toothbrush angled about 45 degrees toward the gumline is the goal—effective plaque removal without damaging the gums. all that being said… I still absolutely love this video 🪥🐦

Happy National Dentist’s Day to five of my favorite dentists!

🦷 Dr. Becky: the very first to support my YouTube videos. She let me film in her office on weekends and even agreed to be in the videos herself! She would tell patients things like, “Did you know your hygienist is on YouTube?” which always made me feel so supported. I’ll never take that kind of encouragement for granted. I also learned everything about patient-provider communication from her, and she’s a huge part of what inspired me to pursue my master’s in health communication because I wanted to attemptttttt to get as good as her!

🦷 Dr. Joe: another incredibly supportive dentist who was always willing to jump into creating content with me! We acted out silly skits, cleaned eachother’s teeth on camera, reacted to tooth extraction videos, danced, danced, danced… those pandemic days were wild! We had such fun! .powers2

🦷 Dr. K: my very first boss!!! He helped me smoothly transition from dental assisting into dental hygiene and taught me so much about how a dental office runs. He also let me film in his office, which holds a lot of super special memories with a super special dental fam.

🦷 Dr. Reshma: we started together as lab assistants in a GEOLOGY lab and both ended up in dentistry! And if you’ve ever worked in a dark lab… you know it’s like vegas! what is said in the dark lab stays in the dark lab LOL the conversations we had in there WOOOWWZEE! but truly how amazing that we went from rocks to teeth!

🦷 Dr. Kyle: my newest dentist pal! I’ll be honest, sometimes I’m a little hesitant working with new people because I wonder if they’ll think what I do outside the office (YouTube!) is weird. But Dr. Kyle showed me I had nothing to worry about. So grateful to work with dentists who make me feel comfortable, supported, and part of a team.

“Why wear a face shield as a dental hygienist?” Because splatter didn’t get the memo! This vid talks about what actually ends up on your face during scaling and why a face shield is still a no-brainer for me as a dental hygienist. Infection control isn’t trendy… it’s just smart.

🦷 PS my shield is from SpitBlocker.com and my discount code is TEETHTALKGIRL

Sugar isn’t the enemy! Frequency and amount matter most for your teeth! The recommended limit for added sugar is about 6–9 teaspoons per day, but the average person is actually getting 19–20 teaspoons daily 😳 That constant exposure feeds cavity-causing bacteria and keeps teeth in an acidic state longer.

Balance > perfection. Be mindful of how often you’re sipping or snacking, pair sugar with meals when you can, rinse with water after indulging, as well as chew sugar-free gum. Smarter habits = healthier smiles!
