MY hygenist is a freak about cleaning, she is like that Shrimp in the fish tank in Finding Nemo.
She recommended the WaterPik machine, sold at Target. Its awesome, put a few ounces of water in it, and a few drops of HIBICLENSE (CVS light blue color bottle) in it and use it to get inbetween gums, teeth etc.....
Since I started using it every night, my gums have reversed receding and tooth health is better. Its not just brushing the grime way, its killing the bad bacteria that live in your cracks. Thats the gum disease part, the bacteria. Keep it under control.
I also use prescription Flouride toothpaste after brushing sometimes to let it sit on the teeth for a while, and clorehexidine mouthwash, similar to hibiclense. It dulls the taste buds but really kills the bad stuff a lot better than listerine etc..
I had a lot of dental work done in Bulgaria so my current military dentists are always working on my teeth to undo what was done. I am a frequent visitor there.
