Any tips, to ensure good dental care and good breath. I brush twice a day, don't smoke and often eat healthy but I feel there could be room for improvement. I also hate the hygienist, should visit her more but mine isn't really friendly and everytime I visit her, I have pains in my mouth for days, so would rather just use interdental brushes, my electric toothbrush and twice a day brushing. What are your tips please. Oh and I also don't really like mouthwashs as most are way to chemical and I feel they just mask the smells.

Use a water flosser before going to bed. Wish I'd have known about them when I was in my 20s.

Thanks. Any particular one? The water floser?

Are there people who don't include that as part of brushing their teeth? I'd just assumed it was a routine part of doing so. Teeth, gums, tongue, all in one go. Do some people clean just their teeth and nothing else? If so, why?

Good point. I always try but it's literally chokes me when I try and brush ghev top end of my tongue! Any tips and stuff I could use for this part of my oral hygiene?

I'm prone to getting tartar build up and the hygienist is a rip off so I quite often do it myself. Buy a cheap metal plaque removal kit from Amazon and keep clean that way.

That's a good idea. My wife could actually help with the cleaning process , if I buy the kit from amazon. Good suggestion.
