So on Thursday I went for a cleaning and a checkup at the dentist. The hygienist was very nice and talkative. I know I don't always floss like I should, but after the startling story she shared with me, I am newly converted to flossing. Here is the true story she told me while cleaning my teeth:
You need to floss because bacteria gets in your mouth. The bacteria have a party in your mouth. When the party is done, the bacteria poop. That poop stays around your gums. You need to floss to get rid of the poop.
Well if I ever had doubts about flossing before, she cleared them right up. My vow for 2012- keep gums poop free.
