What is your everyday dental hygiene procedure?

do you have an electric toothbrush, flosss..massage your gums, etc? I'm looking for some tips.

What is your everyday dental hygiene procedure?
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..
Reply:Floss, brush, gargle continuum.
Reply:Brush with a good tothbrush that isn't more than 2 months old, floss , rinse with mouthwash.
Reply:I use the sonicare electric toothbrush! I use it for 2 minutes morning and night, floss with woven floss every night ( make sure you are flossing the right way- move the floss up and down the sides of your teeth) and massage my gums with a dry, soft bristle toothbrush. Concentrate on taking care of your gums, and your teeth will follow!
Reply:I brush %26amp; floss after every meal, but if I eat out I chew sugar free gum until I am able to brush my teeth. Gargle peroxide once a week.
