Comment on What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care?

If you are truly struggling and need actual dental care, try searching for a local dental school near you. Many will take patients for cheap or free, with the caveat that a dental student will be performing the treatment.

Otherwise, brush at least twice a day and floss. Do not re-use strands of floss, like with those convenient plastic picks. You’ll just be transferring bacteria to each crevice after it’s been used.

Get a water pick (whatever it’s called) - I heard those are great but I don’t have one myself.
