braces help?
well i looked really closely in the mirror one day and i noticed that on about 3 of my bottom braces brakets there is a tiny bit of plaque aroun it. i brush 2-3 times a day with an oral-b electric toothbrush and use colgate mouth wash. my orthordontist said my teeth were really clean and i went to the dentist about 1 month ago and he didnt mention anything. is it normal to have just a tiny bit of plaque there?
help?
treating gingivitis *dentists please*?
i have a little gingivitis above a front tooth. so i've decided to really focus on my flossing which i guess ive been doing wrong before. i'm now making sure to go under the gum line and i'm brushing my gums too. so i've noticed tonight my gums look more red and a little swollen. this was my first night of extensive care is that why? how long before they calm down? i know my gums needed that care so i'm assuming getting the floss underneath them would do this since they've been neglected. when i flossed before i just went between the teeth.
i do have a wonderful oral b electric toothbrush. it has a great setting on it that wont let you brush your gums too hard. thanks for all the advice

Water pik, electric toothbrush, Crest Pro Health… good routine?
I would like to know if I use my water pik, then brush with my Oral B electric toothbrush, and finish by rinsing with Crest Pro Health, is this a good routine? Or am I doing bad by not flossing as well? Because it seems some have said that the water pik is no substitute for flossing, but I hope that is the case because flossing is a pain. With the above routine, my teeth feel cleaner, my mouth feels fresher, and I even wake up in the morning still feeling clean. Very little, if any, morning breath. I think I'm doing ok!
No, I do not have braces. Just trying to take care of my teeth. :o)
Is it really worth spending 150 plus for a toothbrush?

Is an electric toothbrush worth it if its not sonic?
I have an Oral B electric toothbrush that cost ; needless to say, it is not sonic. So my question is: is there much difference in a manual toothbrush/electric toothbrush/sonic toothbrush that I should just go back to a regular toothbrush or buy a sonic electric toothbrush?/
By the way, when I say 'sonic', I'm not necessarily talking about Sonicare; I'm talking about the sonic technology (the deal with how many times the brush head moves/rotates).
What type of toothbrush is better for braces?
Which is better: A manual ordinary toothbrush or an electric toothbrush?
I'm getting braces in 3 weeks and want to know which is better to use?
I currently use an Oral-B electric toothbrush..
Would the electric toothbrush knock off any of the brackets or damage them?
