I went to a dentist first time in years thinking I was good, dentist said xray showed bone loss and that I had to be vigilant going forward.

I brush my teeth now 2/3 times a day.

morning/noon/bedtime

Waterpik, brush, then mouthwash in the morning, then repeat 11 hours later. Tbh, I just started doing all this twice a day in October. Flossing after every meal helps evening more. To make it worst, I just started using my Waterpik about 2 years ago. But I was using those green plastic flossers you get at Walmart for a little while, but I was told those aren't recommended. But I think it was better than only brushing in the morning.

I wish I started doing all this twice a day before I developed periodontal disease. Losing my health and dental insurance for a year and a half in 2007 didn't help at all. And losing both insurances before that in 1995, didn't help either, although that was for a much shorter period. It's just that the pain came back not long after I lost my insurance. I didn't know how much those dental cleanings were preventing my sore gums. But I still think a lot of my gum disease issues are a result of having all that sliver put in my mouth as a child.

You notice that most of the people you grew up with in the hood are missing a lot of their teeth. I'm talking about the brothers and the sisters. That's sad how they make certain dental work so unaffordable, even if you have dental insurance..

at least 2. I don’t go to the dentist as much as I should. I need to set up an appointment. Not gonna lie, dentists scare me. I got drilled in an improperly numbed nerve once and it hurt worse than almost anything I’ve ever experienced, and my lung had collapsed like 13 times (so I know pain).
