Question:
Answers:
did you p iss off a gypsy?
Bicarb is ok to use maybe 2 or 3 times a week but not regularly as it can strip the enamel off the teeth. As for your teeth rotting, are you seeing a dentist regularly? Because if one rots it can pass the infection to the next if you don't get it seen to.
what does your dentist say ?
Floss, brush two to three times a day, use a good mouthwash to keep gums healthy, have your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year. Even if you do all these things sometimes you will still lose teeth. It can be an inherited trait.
the answer is in the question starts with a b my step brother never brushed his teeth in 15years went to dentist no problems at all.It doesn't matter if it tastes sweet if its processed it's full of sweetners and chemicals p.s.step brother 35 drinks smokes and eats same as most not one filling and no they are not false
Mix salt with it. Soda alone will leave a brown stain that is hard to remove.
You should use a fluoride toothpaste and get fluoride treatments from a dentist every six months. That will stop the rampant decay you are having.
I was told that in the VERY old days, people would brush their teeth with soot from the chimney with some salt.
Yes, it's safe.. try wetting it with mouthwash to help the taste...but with teeth in trouble, it isn't a good permanent solution.fluoride is important. When mine started to suddenly begin to have problems a few years ago, I started using a fluoride rinse before bed after brushing. The cavities stopped forming. It's worth the effort.
And the person above who noted it is genetic is on the money as well, my parents lost most of their teeth by 40. I think I'm doing better due to the fluoride in our city water when I was growing up. I took it as part of a test when I was pregnant with my daughter and she didnt have a single cavity until she was 25.
Also, there are other foods caustic to teeth besides sweet stuff.. like coffee, tea, milk products, juice, diet cola. Having some water after this stuff to just rinse and swallow will help.
Also avoid acid fruit drinks - they destroy the enamel according to my dentist.
Yes, soot and salt was used instead of a toothpaste and when I was a child, the only toothpaste we could get was called "3 Castles" dentifrice - a small flat tin containing a pink gritty hard paste on which you rubbed your toothbrush (or even the family toothbrush! Yep! At one stage during the War years you couldn't even buy one on the Black Market so whole families had to share 1 brush)
This age-related thing - my husband is 74 and has lost just one tooth; I didn't do so well, 70 next birthday and I've lost 4.
