I stress to you to floss your teeth daily or at least twice a week. You will help to save your teeth.

The placque is eating away at them.

Do you ever get to your dentist early? Do you ever see the staff flossing their teeth in their operatory while waiting for your arrival? Well I have! They are in this profession and they floss their teeth at least 2 or 3 times a day. So get with the program and buy some floss right now!

Teach your children and friends these benefits. You don’t have to have teeth mobility and inflammation. Begin today and if your gums bleed, that’s okay. Make a mess. Rinse with salt warm water and then rinse with a mouth antiseptic. Listerine comes to mind but I’m sure there are others.

Buy a mouth irriagator. They have them at department stores. They squirt water around your mouth to loosen debri that the brush missed.

Especially if you have crowns this is an awesome investment.

www.chochrane.org can give you tips on teeth stuff on this site.

Have a great day.
