yeah, i brush at least once or twice a week most of the time... the real main issue is stuff like coffee and wine stains and really that is just a bleaching treatment... so i have a toothpaste that is a bit bleachy
before i figured out that maltodextrin caused me to get severe tooth pain i used to depend on Sensodyne, one of the few toothpastes that has potassium nitrate in it, which numbs the dental nerves
just by eliminating foods with this additive in it i have no tooth pain problems, and not only that, but maltodextrin is like steroids for dental bacteria, i mean, potato, corn, rice, wheat, these are bad, sugars (including malts) are worse, but maltodextrin, it's absolute evil, IMO if the health regulators actually weren't in bed with the dentists, which they obviously are, they would ban the entire category of modified starches at all (and don't get me started on vegetable gums, ugh)
proper food, beef, steamed and fried, non-starchy vegetables (i mean, the lesser ones, carrots, peas, beans) these foods don't cause dental problems, you won't be like these maltodextrin, HFCS sucking sad people in your fiat mine, just cut out the shit that makes the parasites thrive and all is well
also, yeah, hog hair would probably be the best non-plastic but i bet it's hard to find toothbrushes like that, similarly as it's hard to find iodine toothpastes, those are really good, i wish i could get an iodine toothpaste but mysteriously they keep on disappearing from the market after i hear about them... infowars was selling one for a while and oh mystery it's gone again
