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.
I have not been to a dentist
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.
I honestly can’t tell if this is serious or not. If it is serious…could you maybe provide detail here? Because I’m not understanding how tf you’d clean your teeth with those 2 items lol
Ohhh… I’m joking. Reason: the OP with a bunch of crazy tools claims that it is a “proper” way. While I suspect the OP is either slightly crazy or just lost “genetic lottery” and really needs more serious approach to keep his teeth healthy.
Sounds… aromatic. 😅
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?
Dr Tung’s smart floss
Cheers, will give it a go
Water flosser? Sucks to have yet another appliance when tiny box of string works for most people but they are effective.
God I just know I’d be a messy fucker with one of those… Hmm
FWIW, they make terrible squirt guns. Ironic, considering squirt guns by and large are terribly made. 🤣
It wasn’t always so… My childhood largely featured an arms race of increasingly ridiculous squirt guns that culminated in some dickhead pissing in a backpack water tank and blasting everyone with a double-barreled multi-nozzled monstrosity.
I used to have really bad taste in friends.
Quotable moment and I still don’t like you,
Hey, now, Wakko & Dot’re the bomb. 😵💫🥰
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.
Nice one, too bad it’s US only!
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.
Depending on what you’re willing to spend Id recommend a water flosser. No plastic pollution, can use tap water as a default or if you’re fancy do a mouthwash diluted a bit with water. Insanely efficient, and gives a level of mouth clean I have yet to be able to beat. The first time I used mine I was blown away by how much shit came out of my mouth. Anyway, best of luck!
I’m a gross dude who doesn’t take good care of my health. I didn’t even really know what flossing was for most of my life. The first time I ever went to a dentist was when a molar crumbled in the middle of a BLT while I was at work during my late twenties. So maybe don’t take my dental advice …
… But I use bamboo floss picks repeatedly so long as they are intact, haven’t fallen anywhere contaminated, and have no visible debris on them. Makes me feel a lot less wasteful.
You can get biodegradable bamboo floss; it’s what I use. Still single-use, but it’s at least not gonna hang around for a thousand years and deteriorate into micro and nano-plastics.
You can get floss holders that will reduce the amount of string you use. They’re not perfect but better than the ‘disposable’ ones.
