Why brush in the morning when you're about to eat all day? I brush once but after my last meal or before bed. You should also do something to stimulate your gums and use a water flosser, occasionally with some iodine in it to change your gum biome and kill off bad bacteria.

[Anonymous No.12166292]

Don't fall for the dental scam!
If you are healthy and have a healthy diet then you won't develop teeth problems or bad breath. Your mouth only needs minimal extra maintenance.
In fact, the same thing that provides good gut health will provide good teeth health.

Seriously consider the implications of scrubbing an area of your body 2, 3, or even 4 times a day. It would destroy your hands, your hair, your ears, yet you would do it to your mouth! You've been indoctrinated, since youth, to believe that only by using a special brush and fluoride toothpaste that you can keep it clean. Fluoride does stain your teeth whiter, but do you dye your skin whiter too? It's something a Ferengi businessman would come up with- the illusion of cleanliness provided by a stained whiteness packaged with a constant dependence on a product.
Grooming oneself for cleanliness is a natural behavior in most animals but there's a strict difference between what they're recommending and what you should actually be doing (probably a saltwater rinse and a good diet that includes plenty of clean water). And what they recommend is something that's been around long long before the time of actual, accurate impartial scientific review and study.

And you never get a chance to realize you shouldn't be eating something- if it's destroying your mouth it's probably destroying your gut, too. In fact, malnutrition is the NUMBER ONE CAUSE FOR TOOTH PROBLEMS. Not the lack of brushing! Don't wipe out the balance of a healthy mouth biome with destructive brushing and satisfy the tremendous salaries of a 'profession'.

Care for your chompers!

The thing about it that not really the amount of sugar/ carbohydrates you eat matter, but the distribution over the day. Even without brushing after a mean over some time the mouth restores its normal ph and remineralizes the teeth. So if you eat just in a few meals over the day with many hours inbetween them your mouth has the time to restore itself and you will much rarer get problems.
the ABSOLUTE worst case is drinking soda like cola all over the day, constant sugar in combination with added acidity from the drink is like the ticket to cavities and other problems.

You have a cavity that's down to the pulp. You NEED to get that taken care of ASAP. You will end up losing that tooth one way or another; odds are, you will need a root canal.

Search around for an endontist (someone who does only root canals; they're painless these days). You can find prices as low as 300 dollars, and any good dentist will happily set up a payment plan.

Tooth decay is mostly caused by eating diets high in sugar and fermentable carbohydrates that dental bacterial biofilm thrive on. For the most part, shit diets = shit teeth. Carbs are bad for your teeth. Refined sugar is the devil.

it's actually the most important time of day to brush, anon! the bacteria from the day gets to spend multiple uninterrupted hours breeding in your mouth. if you're going to brush once a day, this is when you should do it!

I feel like brushing 3x a day is way too much and damaging your teeth. Maybe 2x too but before bed at night for cleaning and before leaving the house in the morning for good breath makes sense. More important seems to be good diet and keeping gums healthy with toothpicks. When anons talk about flossing do they mean with a string or is it the same with a toothpick? My dentist says to use toothpicks because it pressures your gums to keep is strong/healthy and the string just bends around. Or I think that's why, never heard him talk about the strings, it's always toothpicks.

Mouth bacteria are not inherently bad. Your mouth has a microbiome, just like your gut, just like your skin. There's a certain ecosystem that's healthy.

You know why diarrhea is so dangerous, right? It flushes out your microbiome, creating a power vacuum in which all kinds of weird bacteria can take over. Just like toppling a dictator in a 3rd-world shithole. Well, this is what we do to ourselves when we brush constantly- especially when we use mouthwash.

People who eat real food, if they stop brushing for a while, will notice: Their breath smells like shit immediately, but over time, it goes away. This is their microbiome getting overrun by bad/irrelevant bacteria, and then slowly correcting over time. If they brush/use mouthwash again, their breath smells like shit again the next morning.

It doesn't make sense to nuke your mouth's entire microbiome 3 times a day. Your body already has systems in place to encourage selective warfare against bad bacteria. Don't get directly involved. You don't know the enemy. You don't know the landscape. Supply arms to the good side in the form of real food, and the problem will take care of itself.

Food can get stuck between teeth or create a film that needs abrasive removal, just drinking water won't completely clean your teeth.

Stop brushing so hard, get a softer toothbrush, and you probably don't need to use mouthwash all the time especially if you're brushing, that's mostly for freshening your breath if you haven't eaten anything and your mouth is still clean I think.

It's not COMPLETELY useless, it allows the fluoride to again mineralize the outer layer building that protective layer.

>clean their teeth in other ways
in significantly less dramatic and undamaging ways.
Mostly based on smell- we're one of the few animals that clearly enjoys mint. Cinnamon, mint, a lot of our spices actually, and even needles of pine and vinegar. *All of these things have a good chance to blast bad bacteria, which is why we genetically like their smell and taste to begin with*. And every culture the world over will tell you a saltwater rinse is pretty good at dislodging debris.
