The importance of brushing one’s teeth thoroughly, and the importance of avoiding smoking, alcohol, and sweets.

Oh yeah! That’s important! But I smoke, I drink, and I have no intention of quitting...)))) Welcome to the forum! 😀

Totally get the vibe, but brushing is just one piece. If you skip regular checkups and keep up with vaping or sugary drinks, you’ll still run into issues. I’d test a simple routine: floss once daily, brush two minutes twice a day, and schedule a dentist visit every six months to catch trouble early. Small habits, big payoff.

Yeah, I get it, but if you’re not quitting, at least rinse with water after smoking and keep up with flossing hard—two minutes brushing twice daily helps, but the real win is regular checkups so you catch things early. My take: small, steady habits beat big problems later.
