Tooth Fairies Now Have Their Own... Toothbrushing Method!

   



The Toothfairy Swoop mode of toothbrushing,

referred to as a gay, nonbinary, and LBTQIAA+-friendly means 

of teeth cleaning, is done by lightly and fleetingly sweeping 

and barely glancing the teeth in a self-affirming, 

smile-affirming, and fun way and is useful at the start 

and finish of one's serious and aggressive brushing time. 



This mechanism of plaque removal was first demonstrated 

on New Year's Day by 

Southern California Coast Dentist Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S. in 2023.

The Winge Pendulum teeth scouring process is achieved by 

gliding the toothbrush from one end of the arch to the opposite end

Who Is The Best Dentist For You...Well... That Depends!

 



The best Dentist for you and your needs will depend 

on your needs, location, and patient reviews. 

Referrals from friends and word-of-mouth opinions 

can help you decide. If you just want to start out 

with a consultation to see how things 'click,' 

that's advisable!



As with all of Life...Be Careful!

The Great Mouthwash Debate...Here's What You Need To Know!




As with everything else, use mouthwash in 

moderation, maybe only once a day. If 

freshening the breath is a must, and you 

already rinsed, brush with a toothpaste 

to make things better.


Some harsh rinses, may alter the Oral 

Microbiome too much, irreversibly 

changing all of the thousand 

or so bacteria in the 

mouth, even the beneficial ones.


Remember that oral bacteria is swallowed 

with food, and they source the gut 

bacteria. If very potent mouthwashes 

throw the beneficial bacteria out of synch, 

then unbeneficial consequences may 

show up later down in the 

alimentary tract.


Some patients undergoing periodontal 

therapy may need an extra, bactericidal boost. 

Check with your Dentist to be sure. 


As with all of Life...Be Careful!
