I am not entirely sure why I am blogging about this but it was something I wanted to write about. Flossing. Here is a poem:
Floss Floss Floss your teeth
Gently between grooves
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life will be a hoot!
You know how people don't believe in something unless they experience it themselves or it happens to them? Well flossing is that something for me. I was never a big flosser. Not something I grew up with. When I did learn about it, I guess I didn't really understand how food would get between our teeth. Surely our teeth are set so that such a thing doesn't happen.
But recently I've been getting some dental work done and I have gotten in the habit of flossing. In fact I floss about 2 or 3 times a day now. Why? I have seen the light. Once I started flossing, I noticed what menaces lay between those hard food mashers. Every time I floss, I noticed things in there. And I imagine...these are the things that remain between out teeth and let those pesky bacteria eat away at our tooth leading to cavities. We all know how cavity forms. But flossing has made me realize how real this eminent threat is.
So, I implore everyone to practice good oral hygiene and floss!!! For the love of a good smile...FLOSS!!!!!!!!!
two or three times a day seems excessive to me.
ReplyDeletebut I would like to get in the habit of doing it daily. that's the one thing my hygenist has said since I was a child. that I don't floss enough.
yea 2 or 3 times is excessive. but it was needed. the tooth that was getting work done had a big hole next to it to food with just set up camp that way. Every time I ate, I had to floss cuz brushing wouldn't do it. Now I do it once a day...try to. But I do quite enjoy getting the food off my teeth
