Do you realize how much goop you have in your mouth?!  I was at the dentist a month or so ago and they told me (as usual) that I needed to floss.  Now I know what you'er thinking but just hear me out okay?  So the hygienist put a mirror in my hands and showed me how to floss properly.  In my head I rolled my eyes because my gums are very sensitive and as such I really don't like to do it.

  This is what she told me: Take the floss and wrap it around your fingers for grip and go to the first gap you want to do.  Slowly rock the floss in-between your teeth until you reach the gum line, and then rock it up one side and then the other.  Then rock the floss out.  At this point I like to take and scrape off the gunk with my fingers and put it on my shirt (It's going in the hamper anyway).  I may not have much if I do it every day but if I miss a day I get a lot out.

  So I have been flossing almost every day for a month and you would not believe how much junk I get out of my mouth!  I honestly can't believe brushing misses so much.  By the way, don't brush hard it's bad for you.  Try flossing for maybe three or four days and you'll see and feel how much cleaner your mouth will be.  Plus, I have also seen some swelling go down on my gum line.  Tweet me @eminenthealth and tell me how it went.
