Are You Obsessed With Keeping Your Teeth Healthy?

It does not matter if you are obsessed with your mouth or not.  We all brush our teeth and rinse our mouth with mouthwash. Personally I hate to floss. Yep, I admit it. And I must confide in you, I do not do it. I hate to floss. I know what you are thinking "Gross".

It can be very expensive to keep our teeth in tip top shape. A bridge can quickly wipe out your dental insurance budget rapidly. If you don't have dental insurance,  You probably do not go to the dentist as often as you would like to.

There is this really cool site that offers free products for your teeth and mouth. They even offer trials where they will give you products to test. You get to keep the products.

Just for signing up, you will get your choice of products. You can only choose two though.  If you are obsessed with your teeth or just brush once a day, this program is still for you.

I get in trouble for brushing too much/too hard. I have been known to scrub the enamel off my teeth. I'm not as bad as I used to be.

Thanks for the info.

I brush after each meal and floss at least once a day. I use Crest Healthy Gums mouthwash and try to stay ahead of gingivitis or anything else nasty. I have a mouthful of mercury fillings that I am paying a German dentist to replace with porcelain lest I can be less sick.

You are not alone. I know many people do not floss. We are all Gross. LOL

I am totally obsessed with keeping my teeth and gums in tip top shape. It has become MUCH harder since I no longer have dental insurance!

Great! I am obsessed with my teeth! Thanks for sharing. I don't have dental insurance right now either, and I can think about it how I am going to get back to the Dentist. I know I have work that has to be done too! If anyone knows of a great dental insurance, can you please email me? Thanks! Great article!

I'm not obsessed but I brush twice or three times a day and I floss every night. So far no problems.

I am not obsessed, but concerned. I have the Sonicare toothbrush that I got from BzzAgent. It really is an incredible toothbrush.
