floss regularly

but I could probably check this off as done. Every night as I help my kids brush their teeth (more like guard their actions and keep them from playing around and shooting water around the bathroom and breaking something), I end up pulling out one of those little personal flossing things I bought for the girls to use to floss their teeth. I had used these years ago and found them to be less than useless. You get about 1 inch of floss poorly attached to a two pieces of plastic. At least that is what you used to get. These things rock now! Once upon a time they would break after tooth one, now, they can handle all my teeth.
So, pretty much every night I am just standing there flossing while the kids are brushing their teeth. I am almost a flossaholic. Almost. I will check this off when I am doing it independently. In the meantime I will keep watching the kids out of the corner of my eye while I clean the sides of my teeth.

Dentist today. It has been six months. I didn’t get anywhere near my target of more than 5 times in six months. I know that flossing is so important. I brush well and my teeth are really good, but I need to floss more. Okay, day one is tomorrow, lets see if I can floss. I will set up an item on Joes goals for this as well….

My dental hygienist is awesome and I have hard her for years. She cleans my teeth and she is so nice, so she never rips me for not flossing more than 5 times in 6 months, but she always says that I should floss more.

In any case, the cleaning is nothing short of a war zone and I know I need to floss. I want to keep my teeth, I like them, so I will floss before I brush. Always. Or I will at least try.
