    Default Oral Hygiene?

    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.

    But at least you have infected gums and extremely bad breath!

    I brush my teeth twice a day, floss occasionally and use mouthwash semi-regularly. I've never had a cavity and my teeth are perfectly straight. People look at my nerdy features and ask if I used to wear braces because my teeth are that well-formed.

    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 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 brush twice a day and when I had braces I used a mouthwash. I don't bother with flossing unless I ate popcorn or something. I haven't had any cavities yet, knock on wood. :B

    I forgot to brush my teeth last night, but in defense, I did try some mouthwash I found in the shower. It was OK.
