No cavities. So much of this is the luck of genetics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326824 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:38:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2326824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just brush twice a day, maybe 3 if I had something with onions or garlic for lunch. That's it. I've never had a cavity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326792 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 09:14:51 +0000 Adira 2326792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sonicares are the best!</p> <p>I have pockets, so I see a periodontist regularly as well as my dentist. Here's my routine:</p> <p>Morning: Brush, mouthwash with Listerine<br /> Evening: Floss, Brush, mouthwash with Act</p> <p>Also, I have a couple larger gaps between my teeth that floss doesn't work well with, so I have those floss brushes for those areas, which works really well. I definitely recommend if you have any areas that have more buildup than others like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326731 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:39:05 +0000 blackbird 2326731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-I use an oral-b triumph (basically a sonicare)<br /> -Prevident 5000 dry mouth prescription toothpaste before bed<br /> -Sensodyne SLS-free tooth toothpaste in the AM, followed by ACT anticavity fluoride rinse<br /> -Floss. </p> <p>My teeth and/or saliva content changed after T, so I've had some issues with sticky plaque, despite great hygiene, and this is what my dentist recommended. It's sort of labor intensive. </p> <p>Oh and I keep Colgate sensitive at work to brush if I need to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326720 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:31:11 +0000 snowjewelz 2326720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sonicare so worth it too! My teeth had never been cleaner. I used to have cavities, build up, etc (well also b/c of my crooked teeth). But now I only brush twice a day, don't floss/do mouth wash and whenever I go to my cleanings the dr always say my teeth are so clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326708 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:20:16 +0000 BananaPancakes 2326708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think as long as you're using a Sonicare and flossing once a day, you should be fine. Sonicare's are the best!</p> <p>Oh, and I'm guessing you aren't going to be getting the benefits of flourinated water over there, so use a toothpaste with fluorine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326677 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 07:46:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2326677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get my teeth professionally cleaned 4 times a year. I brush daily sometimes twice and sometimes with a rinse. The rinses we have in the house right now are too intense for me. I love Act and started using it when I had braces. I used Sonivare when I had braces and now I use angled, soft Oral-B toothbrushes and change them frequently.</p> <p><a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/act-anticavity-fluoride-rinse-mint/ID=prod3498078-product?ext=gooPersonal_Care_PLA_Mouthwash_prod3498078_pla&#038;adtype=pla&#038;kpid=sku3496921&#038;sst=cb124e0b-d76b-4f09-9262-478794a009c4" rel="nofollow">http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/act-anticavity-fluoride-rinse-mint/ID=prod3498078-product?ext=gooPersonal_Care_PLA_Mouthwash_prod3498078_pla&#038;adtype=pla&#038;kpid=sku3496921&#038;sst=cb124e0b-d76b-4f09-9262-478794a009c4</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326672 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 07:40:49 +0000 yellowbird 2326672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brush twice a day with a sonicare, maybe a third time after lunch with a regular brush at work if I need to and floss once a day. I don't use mouthwash. It's gross to me, but great for the fluoride benefits. Even brushing well, I still get calculus build up and need a cleaning at LEAST once a year. I scale my own teeth at home sometimes :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326661 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 07:28:14 +0000 catlady 2326661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brush with sonicare (actually I think ours is Oral B, but basically same thing) 2x per day, "floss" with waterpik 1x per day, floss normally 1x per day. May seem extreme but I am cavity prone and haven't gotten one since I started this regimen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326598 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 01:46:15 +0000 lamariniere 2326598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I owe my good dental health to my Sonicare! I've always had cavity-prone teeth, but ever since I got a Sonicare (7 or 8 years ago), I haven't had any new cavities (although, I've had to get old ones fixed). I brush at least twice a day with the Sonicare and floss at night. I should floss in the morning too, but get lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326558 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 22:34:51 +0000 HabesBabe 2326558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brush 2x/day, floss once a day, mouthwash maybe 1-2x/week.</p> <p>I've never had a cavity, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326525 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 21:54:52 +0000 Bao 2326525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just brush 2-3 times a day I really should floss...I got yelled at the last time at the dentist for not doing that often enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-tooth-care-regimen#post-2326516 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 21:50:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2326516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always been so-so when it came to my tooth care, and I have horrible genes so not so great teeth. Mr. Bee has super strong teeth genes and has never had a cavity.</p> <p>Since we won't have dental care in the Philippines, we're really hardcore now! We bought sonicares (electric toothbrushes for the kids), will floss daily (haha), and use mouthwash twice a day. Same for the kids.</p> <p>What is your daily toothcare regimen? </p>
