My plan is very cheap.
Eat only 3 times during the day.
Brush immediately after every meal.
Much more important....Floss thoroughly after brushing.
Do not snack between meals. If you do, brush & floss again.
If you did above, your teeth will outlast you.
I am 73 and have all my original teeth.
Most of my dental bills are for cleaning twice a year
and I think it is excessive but the insurance pays 100%.
I know a Turkish guy who is just like you but even older: 86 and has all his original teeth and says he just always brushed. Me, I’m only 51 and to date have lost about 1/3rd of my teeth. One reason is when I was 21 I went to a dentist who drilled the hell out of them just to get the insurance money, but another reason is I rarely brushed them and never went to another dentist because of the experience with that creep. For years I believed all dentists did was destroy your teeth so they could get as much money as possible. Man oh man, the pain I went through I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I broke my leg, arm, had a serious ear infection that caused me to go partially deaf, oh yes and I broke my knee cap once. None of that came even close to the teeth pain I went through.
What a good boy you are. I’ll give you a silver star.
I follow your plan to a T, (Except the snacking between meals!!!), ‘12. My old chompers are in great shape but I use Delta Dental Insurance for cleanings and any work I might need done. They have been a pretty good Insurance outfit for me.
Brush with 3% H202 and you’ll never have to worry about a cavity.
Actually, my dentist recommends flossing BEFORE brushing.
The reason being, when you brush then floss, if there's anything you get out from between your teeth, it's still there.
If you floss first, then whatever you get out from between your teeth is brushed away.
