00:00hi Stacy Burke here brushing my teeth with a one of my new electric toothbrushes
00:10and I'm trying not to over brush because I think I've been over brushing my gums
00:18are starting to recede a little bit and there's no going back like there's no
00:23fixing that if you look in the news Kelly Ripa is going through this she brushed her
00:32teeth too hard where she's getting gum re-graphs a very painful procedure to
00:39help her grums grow back I didn't know that could be done but it sounds very
00:43painful and all my life I brush my teeth like I'm scrubbing the toilet like I'm
00:51just scrubbing really hard I used to get really hard bristles and I brushed my
00:58teeth twice in the morning like I do them with a regular toothbrush a hard toothbrush
01:03like a manual one just to get the dirt or the crumbs or whatever food particles in
01:09my mouth and then I rinse and then I would go with the electric toothbrush to kind
01:14of clean them in or get whatever I missed and I didn't used to get the soft
01:18bristles now I'm getting them and I'm trying to just do it once in the morning
01:23and then you know throughout the day when needed but in the morning I would
01:29probably spend I'm not even lying probably like at least five minutes solid
01:37brushing my teeth and you might think oh that's not a long time but the way I
01:43brushed them yes and I think I'm already doing it because as you know I have this
01:47tooth that's loose it broke off and I got it glued on temporarily and it's
01:54starting to well first they put it in crooked but it's starting to I could
01:59feel it eroding which means eventually I'm gonna probably have to go to the dentist
02:04and get this tooth re-glued on hopefully straight this time but just a warning out
02:10there and a PSA don't brush your teeth too hard don't make the mistake as I have
02:16all my life brushing my teeth too hard and now there's nothing I could do my gums
02:22are receding I see them and there's nothing you could do about that so work to
02:29you guys don't brush your teeth too hard get a soft bristle brush brush and try
02:35not to brush as often I know that seems what you were not taught but you could I
02:42guess you can brush often but just carefully and gently which I don't know
02:49in the morning I don't feel as clean as I used to I like scrubbing them but I'm
02:54trying really hard not to scrape my gums anymore like read
