I went to the dentist a month ago and got exam x-rays and a routine cleaning done,and I am happy to report a clean bill of dental health:-) It hasn't always been that way for me as a child I didn't get regular dental checkups like I should have (insurance wasn't what it is today(not that its all that great now but better than it was when I was growing up) My parents couldn't afford the insurance so although we brushed.....and sometimes flossed that was all we could do baking soda was used to whiten our teeth actually it worked pretty good to this day I like Arm & Hammer .
Anyay I was about 19 when I went to the dentist and only had 2 cavites go figure that! But by the time they were done cleaning my gums were so sore!! And I did have some gingivitis long story short I incorporated flossing into my dental habits now I don't always do it everyday but I do floss at least 4 times a week. I also use an electric toothbrush its a pretty good one and gets all the little nooks and cranny's especially those hard to reach back molars.I would like to keep as many of my natural teeth as possible i don't want to have to rsort to wearing dentures until abosolutely necessary (which I hope it will be)

I do floss after every meals everyday and even outside my homes eating in a paries, restaurant and even in fast food. I find a corner to floss my teeth to get rid of food debris trap in between my teeth. This is also to makes my mouth smell good then tooth brushing after i floss is my practice every day.

Hi, Cherryd41. You have really overcome your bad situation. I am glad that you are able to take care of your teeth so much better than you were doing before. I don't really floss my teeth daily. I do use an tooth brush that deeps cleans my teeth. It is squeaky clean when I am finished cleaning it. I like to have clean and healthy teeth that I can love for many years to come.happyhappy
