can you do without toothpaste?
can you do without toothpaste?
Even though I brush very carefully, there's always a lot of tartar to
be scraped off when I pay my six-monthly visit to the hygienist.
I'm wondering if this is because I don't use toothpaste (this is
because I brush as soon as I wake up, and toothpaste would spoil the
taste of my breakfast).
I read once that toothpaste is only really a vehicle for fluoride
delivery, and makes no difference to plaque removal, but now I'm
wondering if that's true.
So, would I remove more plaque (and thus delay tartar build-up) if I
brushed with toothpaste?
Thanks in advance.

It might help to be well-hydrated.

Why would you brush before breakfast?
Wash hands, floss, then brush with toothpaste a half-hour after your
last food/drink of the day. If you don't like flossing, try a dozen
different flossing products before you give up.
