Flossing I guess.
It reduces the risk of heart disease! Very important.
Remember, you are most likely to die from heart disease.
Really? How the heck does that work out?
The rubbish that gets into your teeth / gums can then get into your blood stream. From there it can travel to your heart and cause issues.
Well that's good to know. Thanks!
Youβve already got a better answer, but let me encourage you to remember your circulation whenever you think of your dental health to help motivate you to build and maintain those good habits.
Flossing seems mundane, but really itβs helping you with the most important risk factors for the things that are most likely to kill us.
Eh. I always saw myself as most likely to die with a shotgun in my mouth, and pulling the trigger with my toes.
It's not, it's almond milk. Even the gray aliens won't touch the stuff.
Water flossing! Itβs like a bidet for your teeth.
I thought the instructions were clear, but here I kneel in the bathroom with a wet face, soaked shirt, and still a popcorn kernel stuck between my molars.
No, I think you got that right. Just keep going and you'll get that popcorn kernel eventually.
At least you didn't power wash the walls like I did the other day. Forgot where the off button was.
I had one but the hose broke, so now it dispenses milk for the cat through the fridge door when we're away.
this is an important one. i nearly died when a tooth bacterial infection spread up my trigeminal nerve. not to mention the pain.
