I love my water flosser. I put in tarter control mouthwash. Its a nice treat. I know it's not as good as using floss, but my teeth were so tightly packed for so many years after orthodontia, that floss wasnt an option.

Flossed and brushed yesterday.
The cleaning went ok. It was a bit painful when the hygienist did my back teeth as I had some plaque about the gum line that she needed to scrape off. But she said my gums are really healthy and to keep up what I'm doing with the flossing.

I got a nice mouthwash today and it really makes brushing more enjoyable cause it’s super refreshing. I also got a new fancy type of floss. Next step is to get a tongue scraper cause that helps a lot with germs and bad breath that accumulate on your tongue
I’m treating brushing my teeth differently than I used to. It used to be a chore. Now I get nice products and use them and it feels more like an indulgence every time I brush my teeth and an investment to keep my teeth from getting more damage than they’ve already got over the years. I got an oral b electric toothbrush awhile back and that’s been great too.

That all sounds great @Blue_Bird Using nice products can definitely make a difference.
I bought some good mouthwash yesterday and I'm hoping I'll be motivated to use it regularly.. \ Just managed to floss yesterday.

I had my dental cleaning. Bad news: I will need to spend a lot of money changing very old fillings and crowns. We have been postponing it but now need to fix the problem, because on one side I have new and hard crowns and one implant on the bottom and these are destroying the weak surfaces on top of that side. So the top teeth need to be protected. This will cost much more than the insurance would pay for, especially give that with our new dental insurance vendor, my dentist of more than 10 years is out of network.
Good news: my dentist again praised my oral care. I told her I now floas twice a day. She said such habits really pay off.

@Tart Cherry Jam I'm so sorry you need a lot of work to replace old fillings and crowns. I went through that about 10 years ago and it wasn't pleasant. Really glad you're doing so well on the hygiene front.
Just managed to floss yesterday.
