dental health on the road...dental pic/flossers

I love Plackers. Quick, easy and no mess. All one handed. LOL

 

I brush my tooth once a month, whether it needs it or not.

 

We use the dry brush method sort of... We dip the brush in a mouthwash to dampen, but not enough to where you have to spit... Makes the brush not quite as gross if not rinsed! Plus it 'freshens' your breath

 

I only buy fluoride free toothpaste. Fluoride has been proven to cause cancer. Personally, I'd rather have a cavity. I use toothpaste always for fresh breath I simply rinse with bottled water and spit out the window. I should floss more often however. Thx for the tip.

 

I just buy plastic toothpicks and regular spool of waxed floss. Cheaper and "greener". Plastic toothpicks last forever. They're thinner for when you have minimal tooth gaps.

I see too many of those pick/floss things laying in the parking lot.

 

So has chocolate, coffee, red meat, white meat, sugar, sugar substitutes, soda of all forms, carrots, celery, aspirin, Advil, tums, fish, shark, bear, fox, diesel fumes, gas fumes, propane fumes, power lines, cell phone use, Bluetooth use. Watching tv, and pretty much everything we are around, use, or consume. The point being, if you look hard enough you can link cancer and every other disease/health issue to anything you want. If fluoride actually caused cancer everyone of us would be dead.

 

I carry a pair of angled needle-nose pliers. When a tooth gets out of line, I ask another driver to reach in, grab it good, and give it a good pull. Works every time and you don't have to deal with those silly "insurance" plans and witch doctors that led us to the great and fantastic "health care system" we have now.

 

I use a product named G*U*M and the only place I find it is Walmart. They are color coded blue and green. I prefer the blue tapered ones. They are a small round bristle brush and keep the gums and teeth healthy between the teeth. Sometimes I dip it in mouthwash and then use it.
