Ever thought about that brushing your teeth today can save you money on dentist bills in the future?
My periodontist told me that brushing teeth in our childhood and teenager years can prevent bigger damages and high dentist bills in our adult years. Nothing new, right? We all know this. But when you, especially here in the USA, have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for dentist bills then you really see "brushing your teeth" in a different light.
For more than thirty years, I brushed my teeth in the wrong way and didn't realize it. Finally as I met my periodontist, he showed me how to brush my teeth in a circling movement so that none of the tartar or plaque can build up. Because we only have a 6 - 8 hour time frame to remove tartar and plaque, brushing teeth after every meal is essential to hold our dentist bills low.
There are great tooth pastes on the market that help you to prevent cavities AND gum disease. I used some holistic tooth pastes that worked fine in the beginning. But after a while I had some allergic reactions to the cinnamon or citrus particles they used in the pastes.
The best one I found so far is CloSys Complete Oral Health System. You can get it as tooth paste and mouth wash at Walgreens or CVS.
