You have zero plaque when you go to the dentist?

tartar also builds up just under the gums too, which is plaque that hardens. cant really brush below it, and flossing wont touch tartar.

Not enough to pay $170 out of pocket for, whatever my insurance covers is enough, the rest of the time I've got a water floos and regular flossing and cleaning to get the job done

That sounds great for you. I switched to 3/year last year after trying everything else to reduce the amount of plaque developing between visits without success. I don't get why you feel the need to shit on someone for that
