A "How-to" Primer

Brushing my teeth. It's something I've been doing a lot lately. I'm getting more used to brushing my teeth in the bathroom at work. I even saw a woman today brushing her teeth in the bathroom--and she doesn't even have braces! One person commented to me, "I wish I were that diligent."

Getting braces has given me much more insight into taking care of my teeth. The thing is--sugar isn't the enemy. Time is. It isn't necessarily what you eat that causes cavities and plaque and tartar--it's how long the food stays on your teeth. It's a scary thought that when I get my braces off, I could actually have a lot of staining if I don't brush enough--and correctly. So, I'm trying to avoid that at all costs. I'm also trying to be a good little brusher and get into those gums! Speaking of, I should go brush my teeth right now before heading to bed. Sweet dreams!
