I agree, I am not a fan of the dreaded dental visit. I see all these studies now to, and they all say to floss. I'm sorry but flosing sucks! I just read that only 15% of Americans floss regularly, and out of those only 40% do it right. Tells me that floss just doesnt work. I am always looking for something diffent and I like stimudents-but its wierd to use a toothpick, tryed bryton pick it works for me, and brush pick is ok...is there anything else??? So far since i use those my check-ups have been much better...
Ah, damn. Dentists. I wonder when my last visit was, hmm?.. O_o
