oh really? :/ why dont they teach dental stuff to us aswell?

that inmate must have a whole sale floss suplier to make that rope to escape.... hmm...

i floss regularly everyday. which is "more' beneficial, flossing before brushing or after?

Of course I floss (almost) daily. I live in the land of the people with good teeth (US), not Britain!

i think i've flossed about three times in my life.

I only floss after I eat apples and mangoes. I know its a strange habit, but i just have to do it after i eat these two fruits.

Sorry TM,i didnt knew that the backend of Wordpress would be so flexible and secure,anyways i have allowed everyone to post there comments on my blog now!and secondly i dont see my personal blog in your directory! thirdly regarding the floss thing,pehlay tu i am not sure about this FLOSS thing,is it that Oral B wala smooth threading material that is meant to be used for teeths?What are its benefits as i dont FLOSS!

Now thats not fair, if you dont floss you expect everyone else also not to floss?

I cant say about dentist worldwide but all dentist that I know off (thats a good decent number atleast in Pakistan) do floss on a regular basis ;) so do you floss?

Its like washing your hands before you eat as we all know they can be dirty then usually as a matter of habit one does prefer to wash their hands, if you do it every day is not the question but you atleast do it more often.....

fuck that. what i want to know is how many dentists floss on a daily basis?
