I've always taken care of my teeth, but as a poor child with horrible parents I was never able to see the dentist. Imagine my surprise when at 28 I was diagnosed with advanced periodontal disease (it's hereditary) my dad had his teeth till he was 30 and they just fell out.
Well after my deep clean I went overboard with my routine.
salt water rinse as soon as i wake up. After breakfast I waterpik my teeth twice and then wait an hr. I then use interdental brushes in between my teeth and then brush my teeth with my oral b 1500 electric brush.
After every meal I do the same routine but sometimes I put salt water in the waterpik.
My wife thinks I'm going overboard but I'll be goddamned if I lose any of my teeth. I'm in the process of saving up for lanap to try and slow down the process.
I tried chlorhexidine but it tastes like what I imagine dragon piss to taste like and altered my sense of smell and taste.
Am i doing enough or could I do more.
Thanks.
