I was raised by wolves. That's why I have such terrible table manners and house cleaning skills.I imagine that children who were not raised by wolves are expected to brush their teeth every morning and night. And take out diapers promptly. And clean sauce off the floor immediately.
However, these things do not come naturally to me.
In 1996, I had a crazy roommate who brushed her teeth while SHOWERING! I know, crazy! And clearly, not raised by wolves. I started keeping my toothbrush and paste in my shower caddy and soon, I, too, brushed my teeth every morning in the shower.
In 2008, my husband finally joined in this crazy, unwolfy behavior. Our toothbrushes and paste LIVE in the shower.
About 5 weeks ago, we put dental floss in the shower. And, as if by magic, I have dental flossed my teeth every single day since. Every day. At first, there was the sensitive, bleeding gums unpleasantness. But now I am proud to announce, my gums are no longer bloody. They love being flossed.
A secret I am sure is true: many illnesses could be avoided by removing the plaque and germs between our teeth before they multiply and infect the rest of our body. At the very least, no gunk between my teeth.
Floss, you!
Thrilling blog post.
