For a Clean and Healthy Mouth, Do the Brushing and Flossing Thing Daily.

When it comes to good oral care, nothing beats the toothbrush and a good flossing. These marvels of modern society come in a variety of colors. There’s also the electric speed toothbrush to the latest sonic toothbrushes. They range in price from the 3 dollar simple toothbrush to about 100 dollar sonic type brush.

Personally, I think the best toothbrush for the job is the one you’re most comfortable with using. Low cost electric toothbrushes are fast and can help kids do a good job brushing. The newer sonic type brushes work even better however. I use a manual type brush while my wife prefers the ultra modern sonic brush. She has problems with adult plaque build up regardless of how often or how much she brushed with a regular toothbrush. The new sonic brush seems to break up the plaque and she says leaves her teeth feeling clean and smooth.

As for flossing, I prefer the waxed stuff and get the lowest priced floss at the store. I do NOT however use plain brand but like the consistency of the major brands like Johnson and Johnson, Oral-B and the like.
For kids and those just finding the joys of flossing, choose one that’s designed to be fray resistant. These have a little more coating that makes them mush easier to use.

There are also floss tools, flat or round profile, textured, flavored floss and flossing holders to make the job easier. The point here is to do it and on a regular basis. I like it so much that I actually floss daily! Go figure ?
It’s the best thing you can do to keep your dental costs down and give you a clean and health mouth.
Brushing and flossing prevents tooth decay by keeping the damaging bacterial off your teeth.

Healthy teeth make dental appointments shorter because there is less that needs to be done. You save money by practicing good dental hygiene. Here is a case where prevention can help avoid costly and complicated dental procedures.

The first line of defense in preventing dental disease is regular brushing and flossing. Serious tooth problems can be prevented or limited simply by keeping your teeth cleaned regularly.
