Makes me wonder how important that "every day" thing is.

I think it depends on your teeth, honestly. Unfortunately, not all teeth are created equally good.

Did that sentence make any sense?

Yeah, I actually floss about once a week, but my teeth are always better than the BF's, who flosses everyday. Luck of the draw.

As someone who got crap luck when drawing her teeth, yes.

I can't believe we're still talking about dental hygiene. I floss when it occurs to me, which is usually following red meat and/or spinach. But I do brush every day with an electric brush (not a SonicCare, b/c they're 'spensive, but a perfectly nice Oral B).

Every dentist I've ever been to has told me that my gums are receding and that I need IMMEDIATE DENTAL CARE OMGNOWNOWNOW!!! This has been happening for at least fifteen years, during which I have never had a single toothache, cavity, or any other dental issue. At some point, I'd like a dentist to look at my teeth and say, "Huh, your gums don't come up as far as other people's. Interesting." Because after a decade and a half, I just don't buy that the sky is falling anymore. Yes, I've got plaque. No, my teeth will not fall out.

This office is exhausting. I can't wait to go back to my regular desk tomorrow. (Fingers crossed.)

Robin is me at the dentist. Huh.

and wonder what kind of skank-ass teeth the dentist usually sees.

They see night before, and again on the morning of the appointment flossing. *Cough* so I hear. I mean to floss, really, I do.

Saliva production is a huge thing, re flossing. If you're a big drooly head, you're probably not as in need of flossing as the more moderate salivators.

Teppy, you crack me up with the evil hand quotage. I am glad you shared that, because I have been thinking about your boss all day since you told us, and I really needed to let it go, since I don't even know the man.

Whee. Traditional Green beer (Heinekin, natch) was had, and we got to listen to the traditional Irish Bagpipe music, played by traditional Irishmen in their traditional kilts.

Guh... Well, I guess that depends. The ones I'm picturing are pretty, though.

And now I'm reminded of the Stephen Wright bit, where he says he has a crush on his dental hygenist, and right before he goes in to get his teeth cleaned, he eats a whole bag of oreos.

Stephen wright is probably much funnier when you listen to him first hand.

OMG, that was him...I love that joke, and I love his stuff altogether, but somehow couldn't place it.

Sean stole my brain. I was thinking exactly of this. I very nearly posted it.
