Open Up!

A tid-bit of ginger ale for the heart-burned-soul

Everyday we overlook a sure enough simple task that could easily lead to gum disease and even worse, bad breath. What is it?

Yes, I did say 'bad breath'. Once I didn't floss for two weeks straight and I started to taste bad poopy things in my mouth. You know...like when you suck on a cavity and taste the rotteness. yuck! Anyways, it does get that bad. Why am I telling you this? To hopefully encourage you to pick up a piece of string and floss so that the next time I talk to you, I don't throw up =D

After recently visiting a dental hygienist, I was educated on how to properly brush and floss my teeth. It's sad how I've been incorrectly brushing and flossing for...about 19 years of my life.

-Don't floss your teeth with the same part of the floss, that's gross!

-Floss daily

-Floss a little above the gum, as in the following figure. Do this to both sides of the teeth. You won't believe what kind of goodies you find up there!

-Finally, don't feel stupid, even sharks floss!

I doubt this encourages you to floss, but it gives me something to write about. Thanks, ciao friends
