my habit, right now, is that i brush after i eat, which is usually once a day. i mean, if i ate more, i'd brush more. but, what's the point of randomly brushing?

for the short term, i'm going to start brushing before i go to sleep. i suppose that the fact that i drink a lot of coffee makes that worthwhile - it means i'll start wiping the coffee off of my teeth before i go to bed.

it turns out that estrogen is thought to be good for your teeth. that's good.

what about smoking? well, it's probably the primary problem, and i've largely reversed it.

and, i need to start actually going to routine cleanings, too.

i'm not young any more, but my teeth are in good shape. it's the gums that i need to be more proactive about.
