Make sure to poke a very thin wooden stick regularly (daily, before bed, after brushing) between your teeth and marvel (or be disgusted) at the amount of plaque that comes out which you missed by just brushing -- honestly it's an insane amount.
- vinay427 10y agoIsn't this more commonly known as flossing?
- 7sigma 10y agobetter than wooden sticks and flossing are the interdental brushes. Those clean a lot better in my experience and my oral health improved a lot after i started using them.
- mturmon 10y agoThese brushes helped me a lot too. The brush is a lot easier for my large hands to manipulate than floss is, so regular use of the brushes has given me better results. Alas, I had to learn the hard way not to neglect my gum health.
- ar-jan 10y ago> after brushing Before brushing, I'd say. Then the fluoride in the toothpaste can better reach between the teeth.
- cesnja 10y agoPersonal anecdote, but that way, you might also push some harder pieces of food under the gums (most of those leftovers won't be there if you brush first). It happened to me after eating some hazelnuts and flossing before brushing. The gums swelled up for a few days.
