Hey this isn’t a regular anti-establishment post or anything, but I do have a little advice as someone who’s been out of work for extended periods of time with zero insurance.
I’ve been flossing a few times a week for about 15 years and haven’t had a single cavity. Dental insurance is great if you have it, but if you don’t then spend a couple bucks a month on floss and just make yourself do it while you’re sitting there doing nothing at night, or in the morning.
It’s legit the best way you can just avoid the dentist. I went the other day and had no cavities, hadn’t been there in 5 years but I flossed, hoping it would help in some way. It did.
