Teeth? Freak?

I used to laugh at my sister for being such a teeth-freak. She'll tell me not to brush my teeth too hard and move my toothbrush in circles, so as to not spoil the teeth and hurt the gums. She used to floss her teeth every night which I thought was the most ridiculous thing to do on earth, because brushing cleans your teeth sufficiently.

Well, I used to think people who floss are freaks.

Until now.

Yes, I have started flossing and brushing my teeth with care. I even started using Sensodyne. It is so expensive. Because I am so kiam siap, I use it once a day. I use the cheap, good, and faithful Darlie the other time I brush my teeth.

Oh, not to forget, I brush my teeth and floss it after every meal whenever I get a chance. But I don't use toothpaste lah when I brush after lunch or breakfast, because overdose of flourine is not good for you. Nothing in excess is ever good. That includes flossing or brushing teeth.

I suddenly realise how important it is to take care of my teeth. Yes, I did, when I saw my dental bill.

And the dentist also pointed out how unhealthy my teeth and gums were. And apparently, I grind my teeth at night =(

And now that I've started flossing, I realised that there are a hell lot of food particles that stuck between your teeth which you can't brush off using a toothbrush. People, start flossing! Those little bacteria in there and feeding off your food remnants and causing your teeth to decay and form cavities.

If you want to enjoy life, and enjoy food in all its fullness of taste and texture, be a teeth freak today!
