I had a cleaning and was taught a new trick for flossing. Move the floss to one side between the teeth 4 times and then to the other side 4 times. Like to the beat of music. I have started doing that and it is fun. This ensures thorough flossing. This dentist also endorsed Coco Floss as the best to cover the largest surface of plaque. I will get Coco Floss in early August with my Amazon subscribe and save shipment.

He also said it is good that I alternate between using a floss (to be exact, I have been using Reach dental tape) and using my Water flosser. So I now aim for at least one of each every day.

That's great that you're using both floss and a water flosser. I should shoot for that too.
Flossed yesterrday.

Quote:
What I struggle with these days is applying less pressure during brushing. My Oral-B comes with an app that traces my brushing via Bluetooth. I routinely overpress 25% of the time. And that is bad for the tooth enamel.

I hear you on too much pressure with an electric toothbrush. My dentist told me to stop using my Oral-B and to use a regular brush because it was irritating my gums too much. My gums have actually been much better since going back to a toothbrush.

I think I figured out the way. I now place the phone with the Oral B app upright behind the faucets and look at it when brushing. Yesterday I spent only 6 seconds over pressuring and today, 15 seconds. I hope this method will work
Also flooded once, used Waterpik once, asn scraped my tongue twice.

Yesterday was my record: only 4 seconds of overpressure during brushing with Oral-B.
Also, flossed once and used Waterpik once.

I just now noticed the ABBA quotation in your signature!

10 seconds overpressure now. I think it is because it is late and I am very tired.
Brushed once, flossed once, used Waterpik once.
