Are you cleaning your teeth properly?

Good dental health is linked to heart and brain health.

But... Are you cleaning all sides of your teeth properly? E.g. a regular toothbrush can't get in between teeth 🤔

Consult your dentist.

I use different types of cleaners for different parts of my teeth.

Alright question: does anyone have a good floss that doesn't make you feel like you are a huge polluter every time? Each floss I feel terrible tossing the strand in the trash.

I know it's not much by itself, but cumulatively it seems there should be a better way.

You can get floss holders that will reduce the amount of string you use. They’re not perfect but better than the ‘disposable’ ones.

My teeth are super close together, I got a mouth full of fuckin Chiclets that cut apart pretty much any floss that can get in there. Any recommendations?

Water flosser? Sucks to have yet another appliance when tiny box of string works for most people but they are effective.

Same. My teeth cut the floss and I often need to use bite pressure to force a floss pick in. But then I often rip the floss pick if they are cheap or thin, which most are.

I have had good luck with these. I try to minimize cost and waste so I rinse and re-use them a few times times so I'm not throwing two away every single day.

I use beer and dried fish to clean my teeth. I had a few reasons to visit a dentist during my 40 years of life, but those were minor things. So the result is good.
