A question about brushing and flossing
Posted: Sat May 29, 2010 4:21 pm
Today is my 6th day is braces and I am beginning to get the hang of it. Eating is getting easier and as a result I am back to my normal eating habits (eating 5 or more times a day).
For those of you who eat more than 3 meals a day, how do you handle brushing and flossing?
Do you brush and floss after each and every meal? Or do you have another method for your 'mini meals'?
Although I want to make sure I am meticulous about cleaning, I don't want to over do it, especially considering I'm already dealing with gum issues (I have an exposed root which is causing extreme tooth sensitivity).
Any and all feedback is much appreciated!
