The Importance of Being Earnest… About Flossing Your Teeth! Why a little string can be such a great thing


Let’s be honest for a moment, shall we?  We’ve all been there, sitting in the chair of terror, looking at the bright lights – oh sure, they have TV’s and music and all kinds of things to distract you, but that drill still goes whirrrrrrrrr,whirrrrrrrr and sends chills down the backs of the people.  Especially the unflossed.
Waiting for the question, “How many times a day do you floss?” can be uncomfortable for some of us (the ones who don’t floss, or at least not regularly!)
Did you ever wonder if maybe you actually did floss, you wouldn’t find a trip to the dentist so hard to face?
Did you ever wonder if you flossed regularly, maybe a trip to the doctor would give you a better bill of health, too?
Flossing has many benefits, some that are obvious to most of us, but some that are probably going to be big news to some of you.
Top Reasons To Floss Your Teeth… Every Day!
  • Beat Bad Breath. I started with this one because it is a benefit most of us want (as do the people around us) and is an easy motivator.  Flossing your teeth gets rid of the gunk (OK, it is technically called plaque, but you flossing slackers need a bit of a gross out to motivate) between your teeth that harbor a lot of stinky badness.
