FLOSSING TIPS

Okay, I know I'm OVER '50', but just yesterday I learned SOMETHING NEW at the Dentist about FLOSSING MY TEETH!!!!! I have a WONDERFUL Dentist, Dr. Ruse, and I go get checked every 6 months, religiously; and this time I had 2 MORE CAVITIES--in between 4 of my FRONT TEETH--YIKES!!!!!

I have been flossing almost every night--in front of our TV. Well, I found out, for the first time, that it's REALLY BETTER to floss in FRONT of a MIRROR--to see what you're doing better--AND, it's also IMPORTANT to make sure that you floss ALL THE WAY AROUND each tooth. at your gums. I hadn't been doing EITHER ONE of those things, but will START, NOW & wanted to pass them on to ya'll--FOR FREE--we only get ONE SET of our OWN teeth--and, they are tied in to our OVER-ALL HEALTH, so we need to take care of them the BEST WE CAN--GOOD LUCK!!!

Why do dumb people still have wisdom teeth? And why do they call them wisdom teeth if it's smart to have them removed?

Oh my lands mamarose. Mr. Right and I need to both see a dentist and I'm sure we're both going to get a bit of hand slapping for waiting so long!

BUT! I'll take your flossing tip and hopefully won't get such a talkin' to by the time we actually select a dentist.
