I brush my teeth everyday, two times a day, and floss at night. I am starting to use that…listerine everyday. My gum is pink. Is that good?

Another question is how do you know when ur gum is healthy and unhealthy?
i meant healthy OR unhealthy.

Are your gums pink and not inflamed? Are your teeth clean and healthy visually? Do you make sure the plaque is off your teeth everyday? You don’t have to use Listerine to have healthy teeth.
But is mouthwash necessary? Mouthwashes, I learned, fall into two basic categories: cosmetic and therapeutic (or, useless and less useless). Cosmetic mouthwashes look and taste bright and coordinate with your bathroom decor. Therapeutic mouthwashes claim to alleviate gingivitis or prevent cavities. Dentists, however, admit that they are only marginally more effective than rinsing well with water, though the flouride products do help prevent cavities if used alongside good brushing and that lovely visit with your dental professional.

My teeth are good now but I’m wondering how to keep them white, clean, strong(not getting sensitive to anything) and keep all the enamel from coming off.

have had braces for about 1 year and almost every time i go to the orthodontist they say i need to brush my teeth better.

You really need to make sure you are brushing your teeth properly while you have braces. Take your time while you are brushing your teeth and make sure you don’t miss any areas. Also, in addition to brushing… make sure you are flossing at least once a day by using a floss threader.

An abscessed tooth is the result of a nerve infected by decay. Prevent potential dental problems, like root canals, by visiting the dentist at the first sign of tooth pain. Learn more about tooth decay from a licensed dental assistant in this free video on dental hygiene.

I am away at college and I’m not able to see a dentist like i’m supposed to. Is there any advice on what products to use, or any techniques to keep up with to maintain a healthy mouth?

The best way to keep our teeth clean? Brush and floss.

I work in a dental office which, ironically, doesn’t provide dental insurance. I take care of my own teeth. I got a Sonic Care, they have a cheaper model now for under $40. The vibrations are KEY to keeping the plaque from building up. It really works, even makes my teeth whiter.

Watch your diet and make sure you aren’t guzzling soda, then hitting the hay. Best foods for your teeth are actually crunchy foods since they keep your teeth in top shape. No popcorn! They chip fillings and get lodged into the craziest places!

Smoking is bad, of course, but it’s awful for your teeth. I can tell by the look of a person’s teeth if they smoke. Plaque builds up terrible behind the front teeth. A guy whose been smoking for years…. oh my God! It’s like a battle. It’s so nasty!
