I finally upgraded to an electric toothbrush. I tried it last night for the first time. It's a strange sensation, and doesn't quite provide the tangible feedback through my fingers that tells me I'm doing a good job. But afterwards, my teeth were indeed clean. A $100 toothbrush is definitely a status symbol, as well as a badge of personal hygiene. But I will miss brushing away with a regular toothbrush. I was good at it.
An electric flosser, now that would be something. I am an obsessive flosser, but I think that process could be improved. Every day I feel like I'm going to strangle the tips off of one of my fingers with dental floss.
I have my 6 month checkup tomorrow morning. I'm feeling supremely confident.
