My personal testimony is that I had extremely poor brushing practices as a child, to the point where I’d go weeks without brushing because I didn’t care. Because of that I have many fillings and very sensitive teeth overall.

As an adult I feel otherwise. I’ve been using a Sonicare for 11+ years and I know it’s made a difference. The other thing that has helped immensely is the use of a toothpaste that actually kills the bacteria in your mouth. I use a toothpaste that contains clove, lemon, and other botanicals that are known to help oral health. Because of a single root canal (basically taking all the nerves and leaving a “dead tooth” 😑) I utilize wintergreen essential oil, it is a known antiseptic and can penetrate the gums to reach any deep bacteria.

I’ve had zero oral issues for 7-8+ years and it’s been a blessing.
