Brushing alone won't do it. I also use a rubber tip, a proxy brush, dental floss and there is a small metal hooked device my dentist recommended, which works well. You can find them at most drugstores. :)

Yes it still will because it is caused by the action of your natural mouth acids. However, you probably will have less plaque.

Probably not, especially if you floss as well.

Brushing your teeth well after eating anything is an excellent
way of reducing or practically eliminating dental cavities.
You should still get your teeth cleaned professionally
about once every two years if you can keep this up.
Otherwise get your teeth cleaned annually.

The bottom line is that if you spend more on toothpaste
you will spend a lot less on dentists.

Just for your info: My wife says her dentist told her never, never use a metal hooked device you can buy at the drugstore because you can clip off a tiny sliver of gum that will never grow back. And, your gums shrink as you age anyway and disappear.

Humm. Who are you going to believe. Dentist A or Dentist B?

To Rollie...you have to do it very carefully. If you just use it above the gumline in-between the teeth you won't have a problem. I use it on the side of the tooth and no matter how thoroughly I've brushed and flossed there is still some small residue left.If you gouge or hack your way through all your teeth at the gumline you're asking for trouble no matter what you use.

Right: That's what my wife was getting at. She also said that maybe you had been taught how to use it and to be very careful.
by Rollie on November 13th, 2009
Yes. Exactly right. Your wife is some smart cookie! Happy Saturday my friend! :)
