More than one way to brush a tooth

I totally appreciate where you're coming from. But if you have teeth that are so close together that regular floss gets stuck in between, Satin floss is a great alternative to not flossing at all. (Although as I learned at my last cleaning, because the teeth are so tightly together, very little gets stuck in there and I get credit for flossing even when I haven't been. )

I guess it's also that nothing seems to come off with the Satin floss. With regular floss I see things fling off onto the bathroom mirror.

And just think of how much toothpaste we'd go through if the kids actually bothered to brush.....

If you want to think about something, just think about what it would be like kissing me if I used as much as you do. That'd be one nasty, pasty mess. Ick ick ick.

It's so nice to be a part of such a sharing group.

But didja ever look at the floss itself? Maybe it's all clinging on. Didn't you just say that it felt icky in your hands? See? There you go.

*edit* D'oh! Nevermind, that was someone else.

AND sometimes it's too slippery to hold with your fingers, too.
