toothpicks or dental floss...

I floss daily at least once a day and usually at night. It keeps my gums healthy and prevents plaque buildup from all my eating, coffee and smoking. I try to take good care of my teeth because dental work can really be expensive.

Toothpick is what I mostly use, it is always available here in our house. I have used dental floss though, but it's still the same as toothpick!LoL I have regular visits with my dentist, that I can atleast check my teeth and gums regularly. I have teeth extraction on my lower jaws, that I guess mine was not that healthy!:(

I don't usually use toothpicks nor dental floss. I seldom use toothpicks, only when I have something in between my teeth. sometimes I don't even bother to remove them. LOL I wait until the time of my brushing. good thing they are easily removed through brushing. ^__^ and then I only used floss when my dentist recommended it. that's when I had problems with my side teeth. I know I have weak gums and teeth because my dentist said so. I believe her. so I use her recommended toothpaste which is pyodontyl to prevent toothache. ^__^

dear menctomas, really the best thing is to floss in between your teeth, twice a day if possible, or if once, do it before bedtime. also toothpicks are alright at a restaurant, but they leave behing wood splinters, or could leave them behind...your gums should have a healthy pink color to them at all times, and your breath should be fresh as much as possible. your teeth are also a reflection of the general state of the rest of your body, so keep them nice, to keep the rest of you well...stanzi
