Teeth brushing question?

I sometimes go weeks without brushing my teeth
never had a cavity
never had any kind of surgery
If my teeth start to get yellow I brush them
I also floss away the plaque maybe once a week
why am I so awesome?
I have no plaque on my teeth
I go to the dentist 2 times a year
Spend maybe 5 minutes in the chair
Seriously someone explain this

How do I convince my boyfriend to get his teeth done?

Posted on April 9, 2011

I love him to death and it doesn't bug me how they look. I've had similar issues but to a lesser degree. I'm just concerned about his health.

They are crooked to the point he can't ever floss.
Half of every molar is gone to erosion.

I know that bad teeth can cause some serious health issues. He says he doesn't do it because he has no health insurance. I know he can get some cheep or just plain save up but he wont. Maybe he thinks hes invincible or just doesn't plan on living more than ten more years??
What do?
And holding out wont work. I'd be the one to give in.

Canker Sores, and Flossing.?

Posted on April 7, 2011

I keep getting Canker Sores and I don't know why. I brush my teeth twice a day and floss once. I have gotten three this past week and I currently have two. I am putting on medicated gel stuff and it slowly gets better. :/ Why do I keep getting them? and what can I do about it?

I floss once a day. Does it matter if I floss after I brush my teeth or can I do it after?

Why does my breath smell so bad?

Posted on April 3, 2011

this is kind of embarasing to ask but here goes.
i try to brush my teeth at least twice a day (okay sometimes i forget but i have never gone a day without brushing atleast once)
i floss 1-3 times a week.
i brush my tongue and roof of my mouth, right to the back.
i have no cavities, i had one but it got filled.
i don't have braces, and only wear my retainers sometimes at night.
there is no visible plaque on my teeth.
i'm 16 years old, female.
i've been visiting the dentist my whole life, and go twice a year

I think that's it but i hardly eat much (don't judge) and i heard that not eating causes bad breath.
So why is it that my breath stinks?! And what can i do to make it smell better?!
