I used to never brush my teeth, and to top it off, I ate chocolate all the time, I just love all kinds of candy. All of the sudden one day about 3 years ago, I was in such pain. to make a long story short, in the past 3 years I have had 3 teeth pulled.(Not very good.)
If you want the best overall tooth care. You really do have to brush 3 times a day. I know that it is a little time consuming, but you really need to keep all of your teeth clean. Go to the dentist once a year to get your teeth cleaned.(Dont worry it doesnt hurt a bit.)You also need to floss. if you dont want to do it every other day, at least do it once a week.
If your teeth are sensitive to hot or cold or sweets use a product called Gel Kam, You can buy it right over the counter at Wal Mart. If you cant find it go to the prescription center and they might have it in the back. To get the best results from Gel Kam, use it after every brushing of your teeth.What you do is put some on your toothbrush after a regular brushing, Dont use any water, and just massage your gums LIGHTLY with it and do not rinse it out. Only get enough out of your mouth by spitting.(remember no water.) Gel Kam also prevents gums disease.
Doing this everyday has really helped me. I hope it helps other people.
