If anyone wants to take a ‘whack’ on gum disease...just get a water-pick and do up a 20-percent solution of Listerine to water...at least once or twice a week.

Regular flossing and brushing also works to prevent it.

I like your suggestion! Let’s see what Amazon has in the way of water-driven dental cleaning ....

My dentist says every day....and to swish full strength Listerine (o equal) through teeth for one minute. And of course to use an electric toothbrush and floss. Why only once or twice per week?

Also, I used to get gum inflamation occasionally. This prevents it. Using this regimen, I only get a cavity (small one)every couple of years.

The downside?

If you bled when you brushed your teeth this morning, you might want to get that seen to.

Better write a note backwards on your forehead, because you might forget.

Yes. I do that twice a day, sometimes with 50-percent. It really does work.

I do that with my electric Waterpic Flosser, only I use hydrogen peroxide instead of Listerine.

#2 Plax works well. Ortho B Glide for dental floss. Very smooth and cleans well. I use a water pic as well.
Toothpaste like: Parodontax, Crest Gum Detoxify, Arm & Hammer PeroxiCare
Wish I had done all this before all the dental bills!!

Water picks are great. I can’t floss (dentist’s orders) so I use a water pick.
