new style of brushing teeth

Today I had another appointment at my dentists. They showed me a new style of brushing teeth six weeks ago - you only do it once a day and you don't need toothpaste anymore! Listerine does it!
At the first meeting they scaled all my teeth and taught me how to brush my teeth differently to avoid calculus.

The idea behind the concept is like you would never give your shoes a shine like in the picture on the right because you won't get the brush in between. That's the same with teeth and while the brush can't get into the spaces caries can grow and destroy the teeth from that point.

That's why SOLO-MED company developed a new kind of tooth brush that will clean every single tooth and additionally little brushes for the spaces between the teeth. They have them in different magnitudes so it would fit for narrow and wider spaces.





I tried this style of brushing teeth over the last six weeks and I really like it! Since I don't need toothpaste I always brush my teeth in the evening while watching TV... it's actually kind of relaxing...!

And this is how to do it:


You probably think that would take a long time... but I only need about 10 minutes for this kind of brushing my teeth. And in the morning I use Listerine to feel refreshed.

Thanks for the scoop! Your headline made me laugh at first because my dentist is always changing the right way to brush! Seems I'm always doing it wrong. This new system makes good sense.
