nyc_transplant Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Twice a day, I also have those dental scraping tools, but I can be a bit obsessive. Where did you buy those?
Nemo Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Where did you buy those? Maybe you should ask your dentist. Unless you have been to med school, I don't think you want to be putting anything more dangerous than a toothbrush into your mouth. Who knows what sort of damage you could do. http://www.hartvilletool.com/product/11679 But, if you can buy them online, then they must be safe. Maybe. http://www.indigo.com/tools/gphtools/dental-tools.html Or get a nice antique set. http://nmhm.washingtondc.museum/about/faq/index.html#5.6
Art_Critic Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Where did you buy those? You can get them at Target.. in the same place the Dental Floss and Floss picks are.
whichwayisup Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I never used to floss, but I will be flossing daily now due to my recent dental experience. I NEVER want to go through that again..........
Nemo Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 You can get them at Target.. in the same place the Dental Floss and Floss picks are. Excellent, excellent. Whilst you're there, be sure to keep an eye out for the smile polishing attachment that fits a standard power drill. Do-it-yourself dentistry rocks.
Hazy Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 The dental importance of flossing has been covered. However, not flossing also causes bad breath. There is a lot more gunk left between your teeth than you think when you don't floss, it's basically decaying food particles left in your mouth and that causes bad breath whether you brush or not. Brushing doesn't get all of it. And...you don't always know when you have bad breath so you may be thinking "hmm, I don't have a bad breath problem...." but you very well could have. Floss.
