The truth is brushing your teeth with a manual toothbrush twice a day is not enough. I've learnt this the hard way and have been fast tracked into improving my dental hygiene.
I recently visited the Hygienist for the 1st time ever... let's just say that was an experience. My flossing routine and interdental game is now strong.
For the 1st time since school I had a check up and fortunately only 1 cavity was found.
They told me I grind my teeth so now I have a mouthguard at night.
My toothpaste is prescription based because my teeth are very sensitive. I upgraded my toothbrush and its now so advanced it can tell if I've had a difficult day. For a toothbrush review click here
There have been a lot of 'firsts' in this journey, for those who have been putting it off don't wait like I did!
Get ahead of it because it really is domino affect to your health.
I'm currently doing a course of (boutique) teeth whitening before I finally fix any wear and tear with composite bonding.
The truth is I am playing catch up but here is a small reminder to check the health of your teeth before dealing with the cosmetic side.
My health and self care routine is an adjustment and constantly evolving. I will keep you updated on my smile journey.
