My dentist is wacky...

[mousme]

This happened on Tuesday, but I forgot to mention it then.


Dentist: *showing me my x-rays* "This is what happens when particles of food get caught between your teeth, and aren't removed within a reasonable amount of time."

Me: "Mm-hmm."

Dentist: "It's 100% preventable, so long as you were to somehow get between your teeth in order to remove said particles."

Me: *giggle*

Dentist: "This is best accomplished by using, say, a long, filament-like object..."

Me: *laughing* "Okay, okay, I get it! I need to floss more!"

Dentist: "Attagirl!"

You have a great dentist! I love it!

I can't floss, teeth are too close together and so it hurts too much. No doubt I'll die and go to dentist hell.

Have you tried the Oral-B tape (flossing tape), it addressed that issue for me. Took a couple of times but then it became really easy.

Note: the tape is not good to use as piano wire, until traditional floss.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I wonder if I can still garrote people with it though ;)

No, it just stretches.

what? WHAT?
