I also use the little $10-15 kit off amazon. Like you I did that for a long time as well as brushing. Unfortunately when I went back to the dentist I had a single cavity but a bunch of calcified plaque between my teeth that I had to pay like $800 to get cleaned out. Obviously I’m a big flosser and picker now. I must have had some pretty bad halitosis with that calcified plaque because now I’m not habituated to the smell. For those in my family that are clearly not flossing and have shit breath i thought about buying them dental kits and floss for Christmas stocking stuffers. My SO said no and it’s their wives and dentists who should tell them. I kinda disagree but I’ll leave it alone. Someone had to tell me - what if no one ever tells them their breath is horrid because of the calcified plaque? They’ll just wander through life like that?
