@doctor.renae: Not all oral hygiene products are created equal! Here’s what I’d recommend and why: 🪥 TOOTHBRUSH ❌ Hard manual toothbrush: Stiff bristles and aggressive brushing can contribute to gum recession and enamel wear. 👍 Soft manual toothbrush: Effectively removes plaque while being gentler on your teeth and gums. ✅ Electric toothbrush: Can provide more consistent plaque removal, especially with built-in timers and pressure sensors. 🦷 INTERDENTAL CLEANING ❌ Toothpick: Doesn’t effectively clean between teeth and can traumatize your gums. 👍 Proxabrushes: Great for larger spaces, areas of bone loss to remove food debris and bacteria. Gentle on the gums and it comes in different sizes ✅ Dental floss and waterflosser combo: Physically disrupts plaque between teeth, especially at tight contacts where your toothbrush can’t reach. 💧 MOUTHWASH ❌ Listerine: Forumlas like Cool Mint contain alcohol and have an acidic pH which causes more harm than good for the oral microbiome. 👍 ACT: Fluoride-containing rinses with a neutral to basic pH that can help strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. ✅ Elementa: Has a neutral pH and bio available calcium to help protect against cavities and balance the pH of the mouth • #toothbrush #mouthwash #waterflosser #proxabrush #floss
