that is good but i have this electric tooth brush i cant remeber the brand of it but it is like 150$ but it is sooo worth the money
nd it sanitizis its self automatically
oh tip 4 ya
after you brush your teeth rise your teeth in hot water it reduces the bacteria on it
i like crest glide floss i think it glides better btwn the teeth
yea milk is good b/c f the clacium!
if you want white teeth dont drink coffee or colored soda!!! it rly does make a difference!
and if you do brush your teethe RIGHT after you dink it!
yea brushing after every meal is good but i only brush after breakfast and after dinner you dont want to brush too much and take off all of the enamel on your teeth!
so after lunch i just floss and rinse my mouth out with alittle bit of listerine...or in your case scope!!!
it is the best thing to do and i have rly white teeth! so if tht is what you want!
but yea like i said dont brush your teeth too much
oh and whiting strips r bad for your teethe cuz they make them rly sensitive!
oh and if you r going to chew gum chew trident!!! it is suger less and good for your teeth!!!
i alway pop in a peice in the morning after my mouthwash and after i use mouthwash after lunch!!
....and i would try crest pro health toothpast!
Well you are in the right track but just brush your teeth 2 times a day because you can make your teeth bleed because of brushing to much which is not good.chew gum that has no sugar.
Its always good to brush after meals. You should wait about 30 minutes after a meal to brush though. Flossing is good to. It makes sure that your gums are healthy along with in between teeth.
The milk thing... I don't think that it directly effects teeth. Teeth don't absorb nutrients so when you drink milk, your teeth don't automatically get the calcium. Besides, once you have grown out of infancy, you body no longer absorbs calcium from milk. All the calcium you body uses comes from your bones and such. But if you want to drink milk, its not going to hurt anything.
Oh and as for sharing toothpaste, I don't do that because most people actually touch the tooth brush to the tip of the tube. If another person did that, that could spread germs.
You should brush after every meal but you should first floss and then brush and use your mouthwash after all these have been done. I recommend you use Listerine mouthwash because it is the only over the counter mouthwash approved by American Dental Association. Drinking milk is good, but its effect is at its most when your teeth are developing. It is really not unhealthy to share toothpastes but it is unhealthy to use someone's toothbrush.
