Good dental health is linked to heart and brain health.

But… Are you cleaning all sides of your teeth properly? E.g. a regular toothbrush can’t get in between teeth 🤔

Consult your dentist.

I use different types of cleaners for different parts of my teeth.

    Alright question: does anyone have a good floss that doesn’t make you feel like you are a huge polluter every time? Each floss I feel terrible tossing the strand in the trash.

    I know it’s not much by itself, but cumulatively it seems there should be a better way.

      Depending on what you’re willing to spend Id recommend a water flosser. No plastic pollution, can use tap water as a default or if you’re fancy do a mouthwash diluted a bit with water. Insanely efficient, and gives a level of mouth clean I have yet to be able to beat. The first time I used mine I was blown away by how much shit came out of my mouth. Anyway, best of luck!

      You can get biodegradable bamboo floss; it’s what I use. Still single-use, but it’s at least not gonna hang around for a thousand years and deteriorate into micro and nano-plastics.
