Fair and good question. I literally ask my dentist on every single visit the following points
- is my dental hygiene ok?
- do I damage my gums with my brushing?
- what can I improve in my dental hygiene?
The dentist always tells me it is okay and I cannot do more, than I am doing.
This, so much!
It really makes me angry, that there is no free dental hygiene training for children/teenagers.
I life in a comparatively rich society (Germany), but our retarded health care system pumps billions every year in preventable diseases (like most dental problems) and exactly zero in prophylaxes.
