This weekend we've invested in a Water Pik, i.e. an apparatus to clean my gums even better! It uses water pressure and pulsates also so it can get right into the gum pockets. (it was highly recommended by my periodontist!)
The top one will be the one I'll be using from now on and the kids will get the other, cordless one. Mine has a lot more pressure settings than the cordless one and since I am the one with the gum issues, I'm keeping it! (Ha!) It has lots of different tips, even a tongue cleaner (Gag!), but also one especially designed to clean braces so daughter M. will be using that one. I will still be flossing but hopefully only once a day now that I have this little guy helping me...
My mouth is healing like a charm by the way. Still very sensitive around those two molars but otherwise things are going really well. Yes, I do sound a little surprised here. I thought it would take way longer to heal...
In the mean time, rain is coming out of the sky 100%. It is so dreary outside that I've turned on almost all the lamps inside to cheer me up. Not very eco-friendly I know...
I think I'd better come up with another crafty project or maybe I'll just do a little embroidery. That project has been untouched for a while now. What are you guys doing???
What a strange apparatus! I've never seen anything like it, but I hope it will work...
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear that your mouth is healing so good!
