Every DAY I can see (although it irritates my gums) but every MEAL ??
Do you also fold your socks?

My drawers don't have much vertical height, so I layer my socks instead of folding them!

as a Canadian, I find fake syrup offensive.Log Cabin: $2.99
Real Maple Syrup: $16.99
Most people around here use fake syrup.
My dentist showed me how to properly floss so you don't hurt your gums. You have to wrap the floss around the tooth one way, then the other way. If you just pull straight down you will cut your gum. Also, once you develop good habits in flossing, brushing too, by keeping plaque off your teeth your gums will heal and won't bleed when you work on them with floss, picks, etc. The plague harbors bacteria that work on your gums and inflame them. They also attack your teeth, eventually resulting in tooth decay if left there long enough. Of course, some people's teeth are more susceptible to decay than others. That varies widely. My dentist (his mother too) had really good genes... neither of them had ever had a cavity in their lives. He retired end of 2019, just as the pandemic was about to break out. Good timing for him. I made my initial appointment with my new dentist today.Every DAY I can see (although it irritates my gums) but every MEAL ??![]()
I would definitely ponder whether you're doing more harm than good by double-brushing.Already did in May, when the abscess from hell in early April got me all worked up and woken up. Wouldn’t be able to do the aforementioned binges without it. As an aside, Corn is the one of the worst in getting between the teeth and Waterpik is amazing at blasting the stuff out
Now the bleeding is gone but some areas have become sensitive again. I was able to strictly hold to the dietary restrictions for about 2 months and the teeth and mouth felt dentist fresh. But after the first couple intermittent binges, a little regression in terms of sensitivity has reoccurred in some points. I also can feel the lingering residue of sweets. I double brush with both a baking soda brushing and a regular toothpaste brushing.
Screw that. I do this and works perfectly:My dentist showed me how to properly floss so you don't hurt your gums. You have to wrap the floss around the tooth one way, then the other way.

Never use pancake mix to make pancakes. Get yourself some buttermilk and make them from scratch. They’re sooooo much better. You can add blueberries or chocolate chips or whatever you want to them or just real maple syrup and butter.
You don't even need buttermilk: 1 cup of milk + 1 tbs of vinegar or lemon juice and wait 10 minutesNever use pancake mix to make pancakes. Get yourself some buttermilk and make them from scratch.
