Tooth Brushing Regimen--what works for you..

[blah114]

ok, weird stuff here. I Am curious to know what works for people herein for teeth, brushing, flossing, etc.. how many times a day? Electric toothbrush? Fluoride? Baking soda.

I use a Sonicare or SMilex toothbrush.. sometimes I use an OralB electric.

I use crest toothpaste.. I also have toothpaste and manual brush at work so I can brush after lunch. Floss too.

before doing the above I had two cavities and it scared me.

I use Dr Ellie's dental "system" as well. For those that don't know, you can google it.. it combines Closys rinse, brushing with Crest or similar, followed by Listerine, followed by ACT rinse... 2x daily. In between she recommends Xylitol mints. Since doing her "system.." my teeth are much stronger, feel better. I also dip my brush heads in Listerine to disinfect them every so often/at least semi daily.

I sometimes use a Waterpik as well, but do so outdoors because water flies everywhere. I also take calcium twice daily too.. just for health benefits.
