Nothing ever makes me feel like I’m a kid again quite like sitting in the dentist’s chair, faced with the question “Are you flossing everyday?” (A feeling that comes to an abrupt halt at the end of the appointment when, bill in hand, I very much feel like an adult again.)

I was sitting there today, mentally preparing the answer that I wasn’t quite there yet, but was doing better than I used to, and that wasn’t so bad considering how many… when the hygienist, her little mirror pushed inside my mouth, noted “Well, this is much improved. Doing well on the flossing, are you?” Score!

I guess it really does make a difference. How about you? Are you flossing everyday?

    *sigh*

    Non.

    I just got my little post card in the mail this week from the dentist, saying it’s been six months since my last visit. And I WAS really good too. For nearly a full month after my last visit I flossed about five times a week. No more. I try to say to him, “That’s why I come in here every six months — so I don’t have to!” But that doesn’t get me very far.

    I feel shame.

    I am currently on a floss-every-day kick. It’ll probably last another month or so and then peter out. But, you posed the question at a good time for me…so yeah…yeah I do floss every day, thanks for asking.

    And good job on the excellent tooth report card.
