JJohns87@kbin.socialtoYou Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Flossing your teeth is only uncomfortable when your gums are unhealthy

1 year agoYou should give a shit if you want to keep your teeth. You know your jaw itself can erode from gum disease? Been there, done that, and now my dentist has been nagging me for years to let them yank out 4 teeth and put in a bridge because they’re so unstable - and I routinely have dreams about all of my teeth falling out.
Add a waterpik into the mix. It doesn’t replace actual flossing but can be really helpful as a supplement, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
