Fantastic: My older patients do not stay motivated so i think your motivation is fantastic. Try to find gel kam by colgate. Great stuff and my patients that use it who cannot afford to loose another tooth never get decay. Brush with it for 5 min at night, swish what is in your mouth for 1min, spit don't rinse & go to bed. Try an electric brush/velcro a brush to a glove. Stay motivated and plan your100 b-day.

Rx fluoride strenght: Have your dentist give you a presciption for an extra strenght Fluoride toothpaste. I like prevident 5000. An over the counter Fluoride rinse will also be helpful. Keep up the good work!
