I have been brushing my teeth wrong for decades

It's quite doable if only you don't have a life. And that's why we have mouthwash.

No more brushing first thing in the morning. It’s after coffee from now on.

I’d never use mouthwash in place of brushing R1.

Have you tried a toothpaste douche? I hear that does something.

I’m not in the habit of kissing my own ass R3.

I leave that to others.

I brush first thing in the morning. I knew about the fluoride but I usually don’t eat anything until around 10/11AM anyway.

I started using an electric toothbrush at the beginning of 2021 and noticed the app it syncs to gives me awards when I brush before 6AM - I haven’t bothered to find out why that particular time is such a good thing.

Why can't they just inject Flouride directly into our bodies, like the Covid vaccinne?

It has now gone "viral" that you should actually use mouthwash BEFORE you brush your teeth because the mouthwash after is washing off the concentrated flouride from the toothpaste.

Thanks, OP. I’m in my 60s and I did not know that but it makes total sense.

I've never heard this before. OP is making this up.

Also, I use a mouthwash that has fluoride in it, r7l

R9, I know mouthwash has fluoride, but the belief is that the wash fluoride is not as concentrated, so you're rinsing away the more concentrated form.

THE DRAMA OF IT ALL. NEAR DEATH DUE TO LOW FLUORIDE!

The right has destroyed the flouride in are nation, with their insessance.

Isn't the water also full of flouride?

Flossing is more important than brushing or fluoride.

What teeth?

R14, you are Russian disinformation.

I just found out that you should wash that oily mess off right after you put on sun screen. Who knew?

There is little evidence fluoride helps adult teeth. It’s far more effective for young growing teeth

You guys who don’t wash out the toothpaste immediately are gross.

I guess this assumes you brush after you eat breakfast and drink coffee

There is no right way to brush your teeth, stupid cunt. Fuckhead.

I have to spit outside, or I may barf.

I do brush for like 10 minutes.

I do enough for my teeth—

Waterpik

Floss

Brush teeth

Best tongue

Spit out tooth paste

Wash mouth

I’M NOT DOING ANYMORE SHIT

Brushing only removes plaque from the front and back surfaces of the teeth, but flossing removes plaque from between the teeth and [bold]below the gum line[/bold]. This is where most destructive microbes live. Relying primarily on brushing leaves your gums vulnerable to gingivitis.

[quote] Isn't the water also full of fluoride?

Thank you, I was waiting for someone to say it. And only people prone to cavities need "concentrated" fluoride (which frankly sounds more like marketing than medicine). I'm in my mid-50s and got my first cavity (tiny) about a year ago. For me, my brilliant dentist wants me to floss first, then use an electric toothbrush, then a waterpik or prescription mouthwash.

Move to NY. There’s fluoride in the water.

Similar to flossing, rinsing clean the sigmoid colon is an essential technique for hot, deep fucking.

the condition of your teeth are really totally hereditary, unless you do meth.

You're supposed to brush for 5 minutes then hold the toothpaste spit in your mouth for thirty not.

[quote]allow the fluoride to do it’s job.

[quote]Who knew?

YOU would, OP, had you not destroyed your pineal gland with fluoride.

[quote] I’M NOT DOING ANYMORE SHIT

Have you considered finishing middle school?

"...allow the fluoride to do it’s job."

Oh, dear!

And you do know not to brush your teeth for at least 30 mins after eating/drinking citrus, or you erode the enamel!

^^ Coffee, too!

I just read that it's best to brush your teeth BEFORE drinking red wine - never knew that. It's because food particles cling to teeth and those particles can take on the color of the wine, making your teeth look like they've turned purple. Brushing your teeth before your drink helps that problem.

fI am old and my reeth are intact. I credit this to nothing more than brushing and flossiling daily. Flossing gets any little pieces of food between the teeth which cannot be removed by brushing . You have to do both, I swish mouthwash around and that is that,

I am an old fossil - that a not a typo!

This cunt of an OP needs to always hold her breath for 15 minutes every time she brushes.

OP uses secretly the "guest" toothbrush for tub tile and toilet scrubbing.

Who brushes their own teeth?

Teeth only get in the way

Spitters are Quitters, OP. Everyone knows that!

Amateurs. A true whore doesn’t have any teeth at all.

A true whore knows how to cover their teeth. A toothless one is just making it too easy.

[quote] There’s fluoride in the water.

They are impurifying our precious bodily fluids.

I gargle for a minute with hydrogen peroxide, floss, waterpic, tongue scrape, then Sonicare my teeth and gums using crest gum detoxify. This daily practice for made my last cleaning a breeze and no threats of having to go to the Peridontist to get periodontitis treatment. My teeth are also whiter.

"Peridontist"

Oh, dear x2!

OP, you stole this from last week's Daily Mail.

It was one dental assistant's opinion. I'd prefer an opinion from some senior operative.

I didn’t steal it from anyone or anything R51.

I was prescribed a fluoride toothpaste by my dentist and read the “no rinse” instruction on the package.

[quote] “no rinse”

Do you not rinse with water or with special Listerine?

Wait. You were prescribed a fluoride toothpaste? You know that sort of what tooth paste is, right? Although now because people are needlessly worrying about fluoride, there are tooth pastes being sold that have none. People are idiots.

Why?

[quote]Why can't they just inject Flouride directly into our bodies, like the Covid vaccinne?

Exactly. And to think of all the shit I took just because I like to get my teeth bleached!

Because Fluoride is a mineral.

Did you ever find the courage to let your mouth go?

To let another man into your mouth?

No, you have been brushing your teeth incorrectly for decades.

[quote] allow the fluoride to do it’s job. Who knew?

Who? The same people who know when NOT to use apostrophes, you idiot.

Wow, people really like their fluoride. R52 I had not a clue there was stronger fluoride toothpaste available by special prescription in the US...and all the while I've been living here, my DMD has never offered it to me.

He knows I use fluoride free paste (Tom's of Maine Fennel Flavour, and an Ayurvedic Neem + Myrrh mystery brand that only has Hindi on the tube) He said iboth were fine. He's never attempted to convince me fluoride was necessary for adult teeth.

Who makes this Prescription strength toothpaste, and what is the concentration of fluoride? Is it Stannous Fluoride as opposed to MFP, or Sodium Fluoride? TIA

What's a toothbrush?

What's a tooth?

What is love?

OP, don't brush right after coffee, you should wait 30 minutes after eating or drinking anything acidic before brushing.

R65 baby don't hurt me.
