[QUOTE="Neverbloobloo, post: 974213, member: 63072"] Using interdental brushes is a great way to keep the gums free from the food debris that causes problems. As the others have said, hard brushing is very bad for your teeth as it will erode the enamel, as I found out to my cost. However I now use an electric toothbrush with a sensor light that flashes when you are pressing too hard. I spend a little individual time on each tooth surface and my gums with the whole process taking between 2-3 minutes morning and night. Once a week I give them a more thorough clean. Since I started this regime a couple of years ago I have had no problems and see my dentist & hygienist (Who are aware of my diabetes) twice a year, both say I'm doing well. Get yourself to a good dental practice! [/QUOTE]
