JSET

so... i have to say that with braces i am a total freak when it comes to cleaning. i can't really say that for before i had braces put in. i didn't floss at all in my life. i tried to once after a cleaning at the dentist. (the next night). and well i got one tooth done and it was bleeding real bad and it hurt and i was totally not coordinated enough to get my hands straight.

but now it is a total turnaround! it was hard to floss the first night i had braces(first night i flossed). i knew it had to be done, and i knew i had to have help. so my wife did it for me

the next night i was determined to do it myself! so i picked up my glide threading floss, and i did every crease except for 4. i couldn't get into them cause the fit was so tight.(they were hard to get to cause they were in the back) a few days ago i was able to get into all but one. two nights ago i got so frustrated that i almost shredded the floss trying. but hey... i did it last night i was able to a little easier. but tonight... not so much. i couldn't do it.

i still have no clue wether to use my prescription fluoride toothpaste before or after i floss. i use the toothpaste before i floss right now. i am thinking i will switch though cause i loose the taste of the toothpaste(which i have come to enjoy)

welp 15 days with braces so far. seems like a good choice to me
