Good dental health is linked to heart and brain health.

But... Are you cleaning all sides of your teeth properly? E.g. a regular toothbrush can't get in between teeth ๐Ÿค”

Consult your dentist.

I use different types of cleaners for different parts of my teeth.

My teeth are super close together, I got a mouth full of fuckin Chiclets that cut apart pretty much any floss that can get in there. Any recommendations?

    Same. My teeth cut the floss and I often need to use bite pressure to force a floss pick in. But then I often rip the floss pick if they are cheap or thin, which most are.

    I have had good luck with these. I try to minimize cost and waste so I rinse and re-use them a few times times so I'm not throwing two away every single day.

    Water flosser? Sucks to have yet another appliance when tiny box of string works for most people but they are effective.

    FWIW, they make terrible squirt guns. Ironic, considering squirt guns by and large are terribly made. ๐Ÿคฃ

    It wasn't always so... My childhood largely featured an arms race of increasingly ridiculous squirt guns that culminated in some dickhead pissing in a backpack water tank and blasting everyone with a double-barreled multi-nozzled monstrosity.

    I used to have really bad taste in friends.
