I hope you're fucking flossing or your gums will rot away. If you brush and floss judiciously ... you'll be fine.

similar situation i cant afford the xrays but can afford the check up + cleaning. will the dentist will be able to tell if i have cavities or not

>>39924650
I always brush twice a day. Also started flossing twice a day last year

>>39924599
Find a soft brush and look up modified bass brushing method.
Floss before going to bed.
Mouth rinse twice a day.
Use toothpaste for sensitivity.

Do not brush within 30 minutes of consuming sugar.
Avoid hydrogen peroxide
Avoid baking soda

Oil pulling is quack science and I'm not sure if it actually works so go for it if you have the money/time.

Also, chew gum that has Xylitol in it

Eat cheese after every meal that is high in acids or sugars

>>39924679
That might be too much. Once or twice a week is good.

Surprisingly went 2 months ago for a consultation, and I only have 1 gum disease. No cavities or anything else.

>14 years since I last visited the dentist

>>39924650
>Flossing
lmao

I have a problem with receding gums in my lower row of teeth.

The first time it happened was after I had braces and retainers for a couple years, and I had grafting surgery done, but it's definitely started up again. I'm probably brushing my teeth too much/too hard but I'm worried about it screwing up the front of my mouth. I heard that there are toothpick-style flossers that stimulate gums but I don't know if they would help or damage my guns even more.

STOP BRUSHING HARD. You need to be very gentle.

Pic related is what i use to floss i do gently from each side. I also don't shove them in between the teeth, I like squeeze it in with minimal pressure

Yeah listen to the floss selling jew and floss twice a day untill your gums look like an abortion.


Sole purpose of flossing is to take unstuck shit inbetween your teeth, so judge for your own needs.

First learn to read, then you can reply to my posts. Show me where I said to floss twice a day.
Second cheese increases the PH levels in your mouth, so when acidic/sugar food is ingested the cheese will bring the mouth back to normal PH levels so erosion doesn't occur. Post your teeth, I'm curious what they look like...

>>39924979
Use charters brushing technique where you have resession.
Find a soft bristle brush make an effort to be gentle but firm enough to clean plaque, no need to press or push the bristles so they bend.
What you're looking for is a gum stimulator, just google it and you'll find directions on how to use it for gingiva growth, it will work.

You know that its been confirmed that flossing does nothing right?

Take vitamin D. It's cheap and will strengthen your teeth in the future.

>>39925430
so the big fuzzy wads of gunk that come out when I floss are just make believe?

so my gum sensitivity and bleeding just cured itself after I started doing it?

ok

I was just pretending to be retarded indeed
The thing is [shocker incoming] that is alkaline foods, not the fucking magical cheese. I fucking hate it when people give me that old people talk as if htey figured something incredible out and ignore the basics.

>>39925571
I'm not gonna read that shit for it is beyond retarded to argue that removing stuck food between your teeth does nothing. Sure most of the time you can clear it with a brush, but sometimes a toothpick doesn't cut it.
