Too many folks ITT with bad oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once a day. I grew up in a very poor area and seeing sick folks who also had rotten and missing teeth made me realize how much dental health is connected with someone's overall health.
Fuck it I'm not flossing daily. It's annoying enough to occasionally clean my braces.
I actually get nauseous while touching the inside of my mouth with a toothbrush (or when standing for too long, so that problem might be exclusive to me).
I'd rather just kill myself than have to brush more than two times a day and floss regularly.
If you have braces you really should have a water flosser. I'm kind of surprised your ortho didn't recommend one, as mine made it a requirement
also electric toothbrush is useful too, sonic and rotating.
Well, they just recommended two different toothbrushes and a specialized toothpick. It takes ~40 mins to clean it all with a toothpick. So I just do it before my appointment. But at least I brush them semi regularly.
And yes, I do have tartar in some places, I just can't clean and would probably also have it if I regularly took care of my teeth.
im so upset mine broke recently, my god it feels good, and quick and easy!
You can look forward to losing all your teeth later in life then.
Yay. I'll probably die at 50 anyway.
