@joycethedentist: Here’s a simple way to tell if your teeth are actually clean. For 10 seconds, run your tongue along all surfaces of your teeth. Front. Back. Tops. Along the gumline. If it feels fuzzy or rough, that’s biofilm. Plaque, bacteria, and sometimes early buildup that you missed. Go back and brush or floss those areas again until it feels completely smooth, almost like glass. If it still feels rough, that buildup may have hardened and needs a professional cleaning. Have you tried this trick? Credits: @Elementa Silver Oral Care
Another way to check is to run your tongue behind your lower front teeth—if it feels smooth, it’s likely time for a cleaning, as plaque buildup may already be covering the natural gaps and contours of your teeth.
