    My toothbrush has a tongue/cheek cleaner on the back, so you don't redistribute tooth germs onto the tongue. I also use Listerine Total Care after every brushing.

    I do as well, usually causing a gag reflex. I'm not a good flosser though.....in fact I don't think i've flossed in years. Always brush well and scrub the tongue, finish with a listerine bath. :bigsmile:

    Yup. Floss, brush, scrape, rinse. Dentist 4 times a year. Yes, I'm that anal about dental hygiene.

    Of course!! But the real question is, do you floss? Daily flossing adds nearly 7 years to your life expectancy. Sorry, I am a dental assistatnt.

    Yes ma'am, I'm hoping it will add youthful enjoyable years, and not the years spent drooling in my wheelchair in the rest home.
