When I first thought of blogging, I said my first entry would be about how great it felt to floss. As a child, we did our regular check ups in addition to our monthly visits once we got braces. Each time we would be sent home with floss, and upon each return visit, as my gums would bleed, they would suggest I start flossing. It wasn’t until I was an adult at college that I picked up the floss picks and fell in love with clean teeth. It was about that time that I stopped buying cheap toothbrushes and invested in the $7 or $8 toothbrush. I now floss daily and on a good day twice a day, and am still surprised at the smelly grossness that comes out between my teeth. Combining mouth rinse in my daily routine, my mouth feels fresh longer through out the day.

For some time, Jason has been sucking on his toothbrush. In the past two weeks or so I have had him brushing once a day. It wasn’t until I had him brush mine that the brushing of his own became more efficient. I still need to go behind him and get the hard to reach places, and he cries while I do. As soon as we get past they crying we will go to twice a day…maybe sooner.
