Twice ocf

brush your teeth?

after every single meal

once a year
the bacteria adapts and starts working for you

>>18636155
this only works if you don't eat sugar

>>18635973
after breakfast and before bed

>>18636055
this

twice and use a pea size of crest brilliant white. at night after flossing and using the water pick, spit but dont rinse

3 at least

>>18637709
Is regular string flossing bad?
Does coconut oil pulling work?
What about nano/micro Hydroxyapatite toothpastes instead of fluoride like RiseWell PRO Mineral Toothpaste?

>>18636155
kek based. got my teeth cleaned for the first time in 20 years recently and now 3 of my teeth fell out. dentistry is a conspiracy.

>>18635973
As many as you can handle. I wish I'd brushed more. I didn't get a cavity until I was 43, but I have receding gums and some yellowing going on. I could have bright white teeth from just brushing three times a day, but I didn't. I often just brushed in the morning. And a few times I remember on days off forgetting to brush at all.
You really have to take care of your teeth. I see plenty of people my age getting dentures and having missing teeth and shit.

>>18638093
The plaque was holding them in! lol

I hope you don't really believe that shit though. You waited too long and it has nothing to do with the cleaning.

>>18635973
20 min after eating. The bare minimun is after breakfast and going to bed but thats not sustainable on the long run if you only do that.
Use extra soft brushes with a small head and bristles of the same size (no zig zagging on height). As long as your brush is like that, it can be a $2 spongebob brush, no need to buy a $40 brush at all

>Is regular string flossing bad?
Its the best thing around. Its the most underrated routine out there.
>Does coconut oil pulling work?
Less than using fucking tap water. It works just because its something rinsing and moving bacteria around (they dont like it), but it doesnt add any benefits if you just brush and floss and you cant substitute brushing and flossing for it
>What about nano/micro Hydroxyapatite toothpastes instead of fluoride like RiseWell PRO Mineral Toothpaste?
Doesnt work. It wont strongly adhere to the tooth, it just stay there caught on the matrix. Fluoride on the other hand, makes the calcium adhere quimically to the teeth natural hydroxyapatite, forming fluorapatite, which is stronger than natural hydroxyapatite.
Just dont overdoo on fluoride, whats on your toothpaste (1.200ppm) is enough and anymore than this will actually be bad for you teeth

>Doesnt work. It wont strongly adhere to the tooth
Nano-hydroxyapatite is biomimetic. It’s chemically identical to the mineral in enamel. nHA particles bind electrostatically, integrate into enamel crystal defects, and form a stable remineralized layer. Multiple in situ and clinical studies show nHA repairs early caries and reduces lesion depth, not just “sits there.”
>it just stay there caught on the matrix
If that were true, brushing or rinsing would remove it immediately. Studies show nHA remains after acid challenges and brushing, which wouldn’t happen if it were just loosely trapped. Enamel remineralization requires mineral integration, not just surface residue.
>Fluoride on the other hand, makes the calcium adhere quimically to the teeth natural hydroxyapatite, forming fluorapatite, which is stronger than natural hydroxyapatite.
Fluoride acts as a catalyst and encourages formation of fluorapatite from existing calcium and phosphate. Hydroxyapatite supplies actual calcium-phosphate crystals directly and acts as a mineral reservoir that fills enamel defects. Fluorapatite is more acid-resistant but enamel is not replaced wholesale with fluorapatite. Only the outer nanolayer becomes fluoride-enriched. nHA restores lost enamel volume, which fluoride alone cannot do without available minerals.

How did you get receding gums?

>>18635973
Twice a day. Use a WaterPik and string floss at night. Use a decent toothbrush like from Sonicare. This routine will put you in top 1% of dental health.

Once a week. Unironically. Mouthwash daily though to prevent canker sore.

Whats the number one choice for tooth paste brehs. I'm really going to start brushing my teeth seriously. 33 yo, I smoke and drink coffee and even though I always took care of my teeth, I noticed a clear downgrade+decay this last year.

>>18637996
use a water pick if you dont like the feeling of flossing anon

>>18643554
Are you brushing twice a day anon? Smoking isnt good for your gums so that might be fucking em.

lol this guy is insane.

"1. Use bar soap. Just rub a wet tooth brush on the soap and brush.

2. A mixture of 35% hydrogen peroxide mixed 50-50 with water, and you can add a little baking soda if you wish. Keep this next to your toothbrush and dip the brush in it once or twice each time you brush your teeth. If the solution seems too strong, just add a little more water. It does not taste great, and it will irritate the gums in some people."

"Products containing hydrogen peroxide are usually okay."

Psycho recommends alkaline, detergents, 17.5% hydrogen peroxide chemical burns, and thinning your teeth into a piece of paper with baking soda.

>>18644551
peroxide is fine, you're only getting chemical burns if the inside of your mouth resembles india

>>18644556
huh? Peroxide releases reactive oxygen species, oxidizes proteins and lipids, and disrupts cell membranes.

>>18644585
big pharma doesn't like it ok gotcha

>>18644593
lol wtf? poison yourself I guess. That'll show big pharma.

>>18644606
yeah about as poisonous as ozone

>>18635973
They say after every meal, but I don't have time for that, so I do it every night instead.
