One of the delights in getting older is that everything I eat gets stuck in my teeth. Today I had a Caesar Salad for lunch at the Tate Modern in London. When I went to apply my lipstick after eating, I received a sudden dose of reality. I was truly getting old. My teeth were filled with croutons. It looked like my teeth had the measles.
This has happened before. I spoke to my dentist who had what he thought was a great solution, $12,000 for a set of Veneers. I might have considered that but my teeth are straight. His suggestion seemed too costly for a bunch of crumbs.
I was determined to find another way to deal with the problem. This may not be the greatest solution but I like the idea of using an all-in-one toothbrush and toothpaste device that will allow me to clean my teeth on-the-go.
I found the Ohso toothbrush which is ready for action. The Ohso contains a chamber in the middle to hold toothpaste. All you have to do is turn the bottom of the toothbrush to dispense toothpaste directly onto the brush. The chamber is air tight, so it doesn’t leak. Designed with its own plastic case, the toothbrush is small enough to fit in any purse, backpack, or pocket.
I like the idea of carrying the Ohso toothbrush with me. I’ll keep it the same pouch as my whitening stick. Together, they can keep my teeth white and bright.
The sells on Amazon for $19.95.

I am so happy to see this post because I have been dealing with this problem for the past few years. I have been so self conscious every time I eat with people that I am constantly looking at my teeth. I asked my dentist about it and he told me as you age your gums recede and that causes the problem. Thank you Lois for this info and I am going to buy the toothbrush today !!
Thank you for your support, always

I completely agree. I thought it was because I wore orthodontic braces in my adult yars and this might have caused larger gaps in between my teeth. I am glad to know that the dentist said it was because of gum recession. I worry about it all the time and just when I think it won’t happen, it does! I’m mortified when I finally check my teeth in the ladies room or worse, when I get home. Then I ask my husband why he didn’t tell me, and he said he didn’t notice. I’m going to try this out. It seems you have to excuse yourself during dinner to go to the bathroom to use the Ohso Toothbrush, which is when you could otherwise remove the food caught in your teeth. This is a more hygienic way to remove it.
