I bought myself some cheap dentist descaling tools to get at some of the hard to reach stuff in my mouth and brushing my teeth last night I decided to use one of the hook ones to get at some of the tartar and calculus like they do at the dentist.
Reader, I had a few full on shards of calculus break off like calving iceberg chunks from under my gums. One spot between my bottom teeth ribboned off like I had magnetic tape stuck between my teeth.
My pearlies feel so smooth and clean now I’m beginning to think flossing doesn’t really do much beyond pulling out the day’s food chunks. Jurys out on whether I’m damaging my enamel but I’m taking it slow so I dont think so. loving this purchase.
- yeah i have those metal teeth pick things the dentist uses. very useful, but last time i saw my dentist she said it's annoying that all her tools are easilyshapesalad
- bought from amazon, that using it daily will damage your tooth enamel. Well, maybe if you directly scrap at your tooth. I use it more as tooth pick.shapesalad
- Regardless, sugary drinks and acid foods will erode enamel more than a metal tooth pick.shapesalad
- Umm. Regular brushing should and does prevent that hard buildup. It shouldn’t be in thick layers. Don’t you also go to the dentist at least once a year?monospaced
- But I’m happy for you.monospaced
