    I use a water pick with the pressure cranked up to fire hydrant levels and put some fine carbon silicate in the mixture.

    Blasting my enamel down the the dentin and forcing it to regrow ensures I keep strong, cavity free teeth.

    Brushing immediately after eating can open up your gums to infection by trapping food particles, but mouthwash should prevent that. Brushing immediately after consuming citrus is dangerous for your enamel... something to do with the mixture of citrus and flouride? I never understood that, but whatever.

    These days, I try to bring floss and a dental pick with me if I think I'll be eating out... especially meat... is the worst. I can't use a regular toothpick to clean out the hole in my tooth because I can't fit my hand in my mouth, so the dental pick's hooked end really helps. I have to use the floss to really dig into my gums on the left side of my mouth because meatstuff gets deeply wedged up in there no matter how carefully I chew.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Not really no. I hear that doing that is actually real bad for your teeth so I just brush once a day before I go to bed. I also floss beforehand.

    After every meal, no. At the end of every day, yes. I floss too.
