My dance instructor is a clean-teeth freak. She is in her 60's and has all her teeth, and they are perfectly white. She says that without perfect dental care you get a low-level infection in your gums, which moves to your bones and gives you years and years of problems in your body, not just your teeth.
I think she is right, and am slowly becoming a clean-teeth freak myself. Brushing 3 times a day, flossing twice a day, and using perioguard every night. I don't want a mouth full of rocks when I'm old.
