Boondocking and oral hygiene

buy a pure sine wave inverter.

Hi all. Still working Dental Hygienist here.
What the doc said about Soft Piks is dead on. Value pack at Costco for $10 for 240 of them and they come with 3 great little cases. But sorry doctor, I must disagree that a manual is as good as an electric. Haven't heard a Dentist in the last 10-15 not recommend an electric. The Oral B which was already stated, stays charged for at least 1-2 weeks does a much better job. I have never seen a hand that can rotate 8000 rpms. Between that and a water pick, pretty much arrested my hubbys periodontal problems. And no, I am not a spokesperson for Oral B or Butler.
If your electric dies while boondocking, best to have a Oral B battery brush for backup. You can grab one for $10-15 at any store.
Periodontal disease is linked to heart disease, stoke, and diabetes. There have been many articles over the years in Time, Newsweek, etc because of the direct health link with periodontal pathogens.
One note to all those who are edentulous, please see your dentist at least once a year for an oral cancer screening!

*LOL* We are heading to Key Largo in a week and not having an electric toothbrush is hardly a concern. :)

What teeth!

I have the Oral B and use a 400w inverter to charge it.

Electric tooth brush is a world of difference. Like the difference of a long shower and a 3 min shower. Feels to much better.

Yah, but at home I take a long shower, in the RV, I take a 3 min shower. We do what we gotta do. You may want to give up
Boondocking & stay in FHU CG's.:R

I remember reading an article about "Best Ways to Clean Your Teeth" several years ago. The best way over all was to chew on a stick. The second best way was to lick your finger, stick it in the cold ashes of last nights fire and rub your teeth with it. The third best way was to use a toothbrush. Seems like you ought to be able to go a couple days without an electric toothbrush. It's campin' man.

I was at the Dentist's office not long ago for my cleaning. The lady asked me if I was flossing. I told her "That's what I'm paying you for". Jeff Foxworthy
