I am freaking out because I left my Dentakit at home after rushing out the door this morning. Please help ease my paranoia Is not brushing after lunch and two snacks bad? I am able to rinse out my mouth with water, but I can feel the cavaties forming
The only thing stopping me from running to CVS to get supplies is that it is tourist season where I work!!
You'll definitely be fine if you miss one or two brushings. As long as you keep it up the rest of the time one or two missed here and there won't hurt anything. Just try to get the bits of food out as best you can and then go about your normal routine when you get home and it'll all work out.
