Dipster: Installment III

I don't brush with toothpaste any more.
   I have not brushed with toothpaste since November 2012. I pull oil every morning for 20 minutes and I brush my teeth with water every night (or, rarely, with oil or baking soda). I floss every night too (a habit I abruptly adopted fervently after Roscivs died).
   After I pull oil, my teeth feel as smooth as they do the afternoon after a dentist visit! I like the results.
   Yet ...
   I have not yet seen the dentist since adopting these oral hygiene methods. I have my biannual visit coming up next month and I wonder what he will say about the health of my teeth and gums. While I do not put first trust in conventional chemical paste and swish methods of attaining or maintaining oral health, I put trust in my dentist's assessment of whether my teeth and gums are healthy.
   If my oral health seems to be suffering I will have to find a new method. If not, huzpaz!
