    I think people underestimate the problems with teeth hygiene. It can cause dimensia, so teeth should be brushed before you eat, though avoid mouth wash.

      And don’t forget to floss! As soon as I learned that my gums don‘t bleed because of the metal thing, but because food between my teeth decays and that decaying decays my gums, turning it all into poop, I started to floss every second day.

      Why should I avoid mouth wash though? My routine is floss - mouth wash - brushing

        Just the cancer causing it does. I’d read a study on it one time, I believe it’s accurate.
