I've had fantastic improvement of sensitive teeth by giving up Sensodyne and using Crest toothpaste and the 3 rinses she recommends.

I get a little reminder about the 'right' way to floss, but otherwise they're content to work in silence while I sit in unavoidable silence. I hate people who try to talk to me when I'm clearly incapable of talking (because they've got their fingers in my mouth!). I still don't look forward to the dentist, though.<br /><br />I use fluoride toothpaste but am a slacker about using mouthwash. The fluoride danger studies that tend to get cited are about huge amounts of fluoride, typically in China where regulations are...different.Jennifer @noteasy2begreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07670876750942343987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-36743204294135932872012-06-28T14:32:00.158-07:002012-06-28T14:32:00.158-07:00Thanks for the lol.

I refused treatment for my son's painless decayed baby teeth (which they treat with crowns nowadays!!!). We took him religiously to get his teeth cleaned and x-rayed by an independent hygienist and followed the oral hygiene routine described by Dr. Ellie (dentist In NYC) on her blog. Guess what? His baby teeth fell out and perfectly healthy adult teeth have emerged in their place.<br />Since then, we won't go to a dentist unless it is absolutely necessary.<br />My hygienist, by the way, never lectures, but she does pretty much put me in a headlock and scrape as though her life depended on it. I guess that's what I have to put up with for avoiding the dentist. : )Christine@100things100dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953484713771698921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-77263033256145096302012-06-27T05:30:51.863-07:002012-06-27T05:30:51.863-07:00lol oh that all sounds so familiar!

So she'll send nagging messages of "make sure Joanna flosses her permanent retainer" through him. And then she dumps a huge bag of tooth related stuff on me. I know I need to floss, but do I need twenty containers of the stuff to remind me?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828440573673170480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-849284728589819502012-06-27T02:38:39.189-07:002012-06-27T02:38:39.189-07:00We don't have dental insurance, so we consider...We don't have dental insurance, so we consider brushing and flossing regularly to be our insurance. <br /><br />So good so far as neither Linda nor I have had a new cavity for about a decade!<br /><br />Our dentist is great and never pushes anything on us. This is good since I am strictly functional when it comes to dental care - I don't really care what a tooth looks like, can it chew food? <br /><br />The hygenist spends more time talking to us about music and playing guitar than lecturing about tooth care.<br /><br />Congratulations on your cavity-free status.Not Buying Anythinghttp://notbuyinganything.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.com
