A friend of mine (middle-aged housewife) was preaching to me about the merits of oil pulling. I wasn't pulled into the scam, but it did get me thinking about the physical process of a kind of viscous fluid going through the gaps in my teeth and wondered about water flossing. Certainly, it would be cheaper than those disposable floss thingies or even just traditional floss string--especially for someone like myself who flosses as much as I brush my teeth, three times a day. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Also, somewhat related, what about electronic toothbrushes. I saw those on sale a while ago but didn't give it much thought. I previously had one, but it broke, recently, so I've just been going manual. Is there any discernable benefit that isn't just anecdotal? Any dentists on this board?
