Ok, first off...I go light.

But not with dental care. When I met my husband I had a "great" set of teeth. Yeah, great for a British person! Lets just say I didn't smile a lot due to every molar in my mouth being full of decay <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Add in a bad bite and crowded teeth....

Since then my husband's apparent goal is to give me a perfect smile. Or something. Having no decay in my mouth now is great! I have 4 times a year cleanings, (I caught my gum disease barely in time and had deep planing done as well. My gum color is about 4 shades lighter now and healthy), gorgeous crown on a root canal, I have lost 3 molars to decay that had to be pulled....and now wearing braces at 34. Well, yeah..if I don't keep up on it, well I am tossing his money out the window! (When the braces come off I am getting implants for the missing molars.)

Wait! My braces are UL! Heehee. I have 3M Unitek braces made of Ti alloy.

So...what do I carry?

Toothpaste, toothbrush, soft rubber pick, Xmas tree brush for getting under braces, small mirror, dental wax, crown repair kit and floss. I have a feeling I may also be carrying my Sonic care with me as well....ugh. My aching back!! But wow....that brush does AMAZING things for your gums!

Btw...I <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> a lot now. I get asked a LOT by other women about my braces. It is SO important for your heart's health as well. Some women get jewelery or cars. I got dental health <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
