Tooth Brushing Regimen--what works for you..

[powerfunk]

When I use a Sonicare I feel like Satan is inside my skull vibrating my brain at a high frequency. Not sure if I'm the only one with this sensitivity, but regular brushes and random unscheduled occasional flossing have been OK for me.

On an ironic side note, I have met Dr. Ellie Phillips and she is a bit of a Renaissance woman. Not only is she a talented dentist and entrepreneur (Zellies), she is also a fantastic baker/dessert maker. How good is she? So good that her hobby led her to open a restaurant that is renowned in Rochester NY for their fantastic desserts. The restaurant she owns is called Phillips European. I place an order every Christmas for one of her variety cheesecakes.
I find it ironic that a talented dentist is also a dessert guru. Dr. Ellie is a true artist!

That's amazing she owns a restaurant. ..

Ok. This is a new one for me. Don't think I've ever seen this thread topic.

New brush head every 3 months

Always have bottle water available to keep mouth moist to help with any dryness or bacteria
I haven't been with out a bottle of water for 10 years. In the car, walking, shopping everywhere I go. I have a nice RO system in the house so I disinfect the water bottles everyday and buy a 12 pack of new water bottles every month. All Water goes in freezer and I plan ahead so it's still half frozen when I leave the house.

Something similar for me too. I use Oral-B 2x a day and I try to floss after each meal.
Plus Listerine total care 2x a day as well.

Had lots of cavities and teeth issues when I was younger because even though I brushed twice every day, I didn't floss and neglected going to dentist for cleaning/check up.

I learned my lesson - just a few extra minutes to clean your teeth can save you the pain/$$ in the future.
