Out of curiosity, what habits would you adopt? Flossing? Or is there something else doctors recommend? A cursory search seems to bring up rather regular dental hygiene.
I had all the habits, I just wasn't prioritizing them if I was tired or sleeping late due to school/work/stuff. I probably should have prioritized set times to do them each day irregardless of what I was doing. Plus, I didn't take seriously the habit to brush for several minutes instead of several seconds.
Not the OP, but on top of cleaning the gaps between teeth well, I started going to dental hygienist four times a year and the expense seems to be worth it.
Nowadays my gums just don't bleed ever, period, even when the hygienist is scrapping away calculus.
