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!

I don’t consume any form of dairy because of a dairy allergy, I take calcium supplements and many other supplements daily for vitamins (Fish Oil, etc).

My teeth are in very bad condition though, they seem weak and sensitive. Are there any other things I can do for teeth health?

I hope I worded this right, it seems a little weird.

Thanks

Be sure that your calcium supplement has a balanced amount of magnesium and other minerals. KAL Amino Max is a good balance.

Other than that, regular checkups, professional cleanings, simple brushing and flossing are important too.

I want to get braces soon but my dentist and my mom arent sure my teeth are healthy enough.

you should start flossing, cleaning your teeth twice a day and using an alcohol free mouthwash. Start today and keep it up until your dentist feels that your teeth have improved.

I went to an orthodontist about 2 weeks ago and he took pictures of my teeth for braces and briefly said my gums are healthy colour, but thats all. How do I know if they really are healthy and if my actually teeth are healthy too?

I brushes my teeth everynight, rarely in the morning, and I rarely floss.

have a floss and if your gums bleed they are unhealthy, when i first started flossing they bled and i now floss every night and have no more bleeding!
