jst passin by 2 ask if any of u guys, take dental health serious or not..like floss everyday, or buy the most expensive or the best electronic toothbrush..take advice from your dentists, seriously...
Totally, I've paid good money to fix my teeth (via braces), lost 4 + 4 teeths (canines and wisdom teeth)... So I better maintain them... Electric toothbrush: Braun/Oral-B Vitalizer Mouthwash: Listerin Floss twice a day Brush three times a day (if I am home for lunch) Rinse with water and/or mouthwash after each meal (again, if possible)... Drink loads of water... And yeah, regular scaling at my dentist
i wouldnt say i care ALOT but yeah quite a bit used to have braces but it was totally worth it! gone off mouthwash tho lol i lost my voice for like 2 days cause of usin it too much & erm just normal toothbrush & whitenin toothpaste will do =] last thing u want someone to see first are ur yellow manky teeth haha
eh, no i have no cavaties (becuase they fell out with my baby teeth) and now i just care that i wont have any new cavaties and white smiling teeth ok so maybe i invest in some crest strips every so often but brushing twice a day is enough for me and mouth wash, more cause kissing your honey, you dont want to be all stinky
I do care about my teeth a lots more now but I have cavities because when I was young I don't seem to care much.
i have a nice set of teeth and care for them much...i hate to go to the dentist because they r scary and i swear i'll care for them so that i do not need to visit the dentist often.
I brush twice daily, floss once a day, and use mouthwash. I also visit the dentist every 9 months (what's covered by my health plan). I find a lot of Chinese people (don't know about Asians) don't know much about dental care, though. Lots of people brush their teeth BEFORE breakfast. What's up with that??? Well, ok, it's fine to brush before, but how about AFTER???
I need to care for my teeth as I have to visit the dentist at least twice a hear for a regular check up. Brushh my teeth 3 times a day, floss after dinner (I skip breakfast and lunch...) and sometimes I use a mouthwash. ^I also brush my teeth before breakfast (if I ever eat breakfast that is...) as I can't stand the dry taste in my mouth when you wake up.
But then if you don't brush your teeth BEFORE breakfast your breakfast will taste funny, no? <_< I personally do both (kind of), brush teeth before breakfast then rinse my mouth with water and/or mouthwash... brushing optional... I try not to brush my teeth too much since it may contribute to receding gum >.<
yea, sometimes i brush 3 times a day, bt other than that - twice is good enough lols...chewing Wrigley's Orbit Complete is prolly the best thing i can use when i go out..hehe ^^ oh yea, n one more thing, are there really ppl that you lot know, who are terrified of goin dentists? lols scared of the drilling n stuff in ur teeth...lol this now remindin me, of how me dad tried 2 use dental surgery on himself when his teeth had problems..;P
Ooo...i love the *fay Lun Hai* or farenhiet banner... lol...i love my teeth..i brush 3 times a day...
It's just something you have to discipline yourself flossing after each meal. (I have just enough discipline to floss after dinner) Know, you're a robot eh? Should be easy for you to program yourself to floss after each meal don't you think? -devil
I brush twice a day + rinse my mouth with Listerine. I use to floss, I should get back into that. Funny thing is that I have all my teeth, including all 4 wisdom, and my teeth have always been straight, without the help of a dentist, and yet others that are not able to say the same take care of their teeth 10x more than I do.
My breakfast never tastes funny before brushing my teeth. Maybe you guys are mouth-breathers or something? Anyway, like I said before, nothing wrong with brushing BEFORE, but one should definitely brush AFTER meals. As for teeth brushing contributing to receding gums, that ONLY occurs with improper brushing technique and/or an inappropriate toothbrush (i.e., one that is too firm for your gum type).
