Affordable Dental Plans

Regular brushing is not enough. Sooner or later, you'll need a dental plan. You'll need to visit your dentist regularly (every six months), but chances are you'll forget (just like me). Fortunately for people in the States, they can find affordable dental plans online.

To my friends and relatives in the United States: Are you searching for a dentist in California, Florida, Louisiana, Washington, Arizona, Carrington, Concordia, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, Michigan, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, or Nevada? Or in other states for that matter?

In the Philippines, we tend to brush too hard. Perhaps brushing harder equals cleaner teeth.

However, this can damage your gums and make them recede. When that happens, the bottom part of your teeth get exposed and you'll get that tingly feeling when something hits those exposed parts.

My dentist (I'm not a dentist!) advised me to brush lightly. I was also told to angle my toothbrush 45 degress against the side of my gumline, and then make gentle circular motions.

Total brushing time is around 3 to 4 minutes, but I doubt if I'm that patient. Maybe I'll go try a dental plan someday.
