What exactly do you do to prevent receiving a gigantic bill from your dentist, that is insurmountable.
I brush of course, and have recently discovered an alcohol free mouthwash product, so you don't have that overwhelming taste in your mouth after you rinse. I seriously do not have the time to flush each and every single night, though. :|
All of this, I do mostly out of fear.
I just brush my teeth. Never really bothered with flossing, although I know it's a good idea, and that I probably should bother with it.
I've only had like one cavity in my entire life. Guess I'm just lucky or something?
I brush thrice a day, and haven't ever flossed.
Never had one cavity, so I guess it's not as important as the say.
I smoke 3-4 cigarettes a day in addition to the occasional (read: very frequent) cigar. I haven't used toothpaste for at least a year in a half and I follow a strict dietary regiment consisting of the immense intake of candy and soda on a daily basis.
I have yet to have a cavity and this has been my lifestyle for the last four years. Dentists exist for no reason.
I brush everyday.. No I don't floss... I brush...
But at least you have infected gums and extremely bad breath! :DQuote:

Now the bad news. My teeth are beginning to yellow. Not a big deal these days with whitening procedures, but it's not something I'm particularly proud of. I drink a lot of coffee and soft drinks and I smoke as well. :(
Your teeth would start to become slightly yellow anyway, even if you didn't drink coffee or soft drinks. It is unfortunately a natural, and inevitable, process.

I brush and floss every day!
I brush twice a day, and floss ocassionally. But I'm starting to get paranoid because I want to take care of my gums. So I just bought a Waterpik and am going to use that because I hate flossing and it's supposed to be better than that.

I forgot to brush my teeth last night, but in defense, I did try some mouthwash I found in the shower. It was OK.
Twice a day. But for some reason, I will look at them after I clean them and see I've missed a bit with food in. So I'll go back and clean that bit and BAM: gum bleeds everywhere :eep:
I have a thing about brushing my teeth. My mouth has to feel clean! I always brush in the morning, and at night.
but if I come home and I'm going out again that day I'll brush them again just before I go out.
I always brush and then fill my mouth with rinsing water and just take the pain, and finally when my eyes tear up I let go and quickly fill my mouth with water so it doesn't hurt so much D:.
But yeah, it's definitely a must for me to keep my mouth clean.
Nothing, unfortunately. Well, there's brushing twice a day, but that isn't enough.
I've even got gum disease since I've been too gentle on my gums, not flossing or scrubbing them. Though I've been trying to do more of the latter to toughen them up.
