@trinsec Congrats! :D I know all about that pre-dental visit panic 😅
@trinsec That's probably a good plan! I've been fighting with a recurrent gum infection, and I was panicking over jaw pain. Fortunately everything was fine, and I only had a few minor caries and no severe bone infection or whatever, but I'm getting wisdom tooth surgery in a few weeks and I'm kinda nervous about that :/
Do you happen to use a water flosser? I love mine and it, it helps me ease my anxiety regarding dental work, and to not gag when I floss, as I'm pretty sensitive to the "hair-like" sensation of floss...always have been since I was a kid 🤢
@johnabs I believe we call a water flosser a 'waterpik' here. Next week I'll go to the dental hygienist for a thorough cleaning of my teeth and I'll ask her if a waterpik is a nice option to have.
In itself I don't have issues using a rager (the dish brush mini-me thingy) but it's kinda hard to get into the far back with it. Using a normal floss for now for over there. But overall I brush my teeth very thoroughly so I don't generally have to do much extra work afterwards unless I feel something's not quite clean enough. It usually is good enough heh.
