Floss and electric toothbrush, brush twice a day, works wonders. One of those brushes that make sure you brush each quarter for 30 seconds for a total of 2 minutes.
They dont even have to be expensive. We spent like $200 on my wife's Sonicare. I have some cheap toothbrush I got on Amazon for 30 bucks. They both brush just as effectively.
If you're like me and you can't do string floss, try a water flosser. It's what got me started flossing. No dentist will tell you it's just as effective as string floss. Any dentist will tell you it's better than not flossing at all.
Plus, my breath stinks a lot less.
And remember, a WaterPik CANNOT be used as a makeshift bidet, no matter how tempting.
Very painful lesson.
