> last time I was at the dentist the cute brown assistant told me not to use mouthwash
you didn't by any chance, by happenstance, ask her why you shouldn't use mouthwash?
NTA but alcohol-based mouthwash kills bacteria indiscriminately, paving the way for pathogenic bacteria to overrun your mouth and exacerbate tooth decay. The same way oral antibiotics can frick up your gut microbiome, mouthwash fricks up your oral microbiome.
I got one of the dental pick sets and went to town on my plaque build-up before my last cleaning visit.
I'd never gotten a "good job, Anon" from the dentist and it felt pretty awesome.
It's fun to floss now that I know I can keep em feeling like I just had a cleaning.
It's not a bad as you think. A lot depends on which pick you're using. I'm probably forgetting the right terms but one is a scaler that is more like a chisel than the sharp pointy one. You just kind of run it along the surface and it will pop off the rough plaque.
The other I like is a biveveled pick that you can run between your teeth. Again, not a sharp pointy thing.
Use the little mirror to look at the back of your front teeth and you'll see exactly what needs to go. Just take your time and feel along.
Take a toothpick and scrape between and on your teeth and see what comes off. Brush, floss, and pick are all required. Mouth wash doesn't do shit but clean your tongue.
flithy lazy moron, brush your teeth, its just a few minutes
I remember when making troll posts on IST used to be epic.
Now its just dipshit 12 year olds spouting moron shit they think is edgy

herbal mouthwash is the best
Mouthwash is only good for post-cunnilingus,post smoking weed, post-lunch freshen up.
Always brush day and night, and always floss.
You typed the word cunnilingus. I am now horny. I hate you. Are you satan?
homie brush yo damn teef
>IST - fitness
One of my dentist told me I should stop with mouth tobacco.
I told him putting fluoride in my mouth might be worse.
He just said "Yeah... could be".
you just told a story of someone realising you're a moron and who gave up on you
That's the sort of thing you tell someone when you're trying to be nice and not start an argument
I do the same thing

brush your teeth 30 min after breakfast and before bed

don't wash the toothpaste out of your mouth, just spit

If youre really asking this question, its already too late for you.
>bacteria die
You have an entire gut filled with the shit.
Just brush.
You don't even need toothpaste.
Floss is dope though.
Get a metal floss handle.
The only reason anyone would brush their teeth is if they wanted to kiss other men
Mouthwash should be ok as long as you do a full washing twice a week
Anon…
If you eat carbs then yes you should brush teeth. And even with religious brushing you will get cavities.
