What is your everyday dental hygiene procedure?!
Question:
What is your everyday dental hygiene procedure?
do you have an electric toothbrush, flosss..massage your gums, etc? I'm looking for some tips.
Answers:
My dentist tells me the key to keeping cavities and gum disease away is to make sure I have as little bacterial plaque on my teeth as possible at all times. The longer the plaque sits on your teeth, the more uninterrupted time they have to rot away at your enamel and attack your gums.
So he recommended that I brush thoroughly (teeth, tongue and gums) after each meal, and before bed, using a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and floss at least once a day.
People think I'm nuts for carrying around a toothbrush and toothpaste. But I have been following those recommendations for the past 10 years and haven't had a single cavity during that timespan, and my gums are in great shape too during my last checkup a couple months back.
Just my experience..
