Yesterday I went for my first dental checkup and cleaning since being braced. Wow. It took FOREVER. The hygeinist said I was doing a good job of cleaning, but ortho is just that much harder to keep clean and I still had a lot of buildup. Oh, well. No cavities, as usual. :)
Tonight while grocery shopping, I had the foresight NOT to buy a ton of food that required chewing. I'm getting a new wire on Thursday so I am expecting several days of soft foods... In March, right before my first new wire, I bought a huge tub of organic baby salad mix. Stupid! Hello, braces to Aimee!!! You can't eat salad without working teeth! :-# Lesson learned. At least my husband enjoyed several days of baby spinach... This time I stocked up on Stoneyfield Farms Caramel Yogurt (SO good!) and Naked smoothies...
Ooh, and I bought a tongue brush. Well, it's a Tung Brush. Anyone use one of these things before? I feel like I still have icky breath and maybe I'm just not getting all the gunk off the back of my tongue... we shall see...

Let me know how the tounge brush thing goes.... I, too, feel like my breath could always use something more.
omigosh i get that all the time last night i ate doritos while i was watching TV (can't live without them) and brushed profusely before going to bed. But guess what? as per usual, i woke up and had that doritos taste in my mouth. what gives? my teeth hygiene is tons better now that i have the braces.
