Featuring Flavored Floss

The advertisement for this floss made it sound like you could feel more motivated to floss if your floss had the "amazing flavor of crispy fried bacon".  I'm not sold, however, giving it more thought, I guess I do feel like brushing my teeth and flossing when I have the after-taste of bacon, that filmy, savory taste that isn't content to stay in my mouth, but permeates the fabric of my clothing and attaches itself to furniture and the air in my house like lichen.
Really this is for the single ladies seeking competing cohorts of cavemen.  What better way to get him to pop his heel during your first kiss?  Best stick with mint, in my opinion, but here is the website if you're interested.  Apparently there is a whole line of scents and other bacon products for that guy you think will only like you if you appeal to his hunger for crispy pork fat.

In all seriousness, though, bacon or other flavor, floss will help you prevent decay and gum disease.  The bacteria we all carry around in our mouths needs only roughly twelve hours to begin building colonies, and the colonies are taking minerals from your teeth even before the twelve hours.  So, at least once per day, make sure you floss.

Getting rid of the tartar...

Tartar sauce is great with fish, but the tartar we all need to get rid of frequently is the tartar on our teeth.  Another name for it is calculus, and we all know what that word means:  a hard math class.  The tartar we're talking about is a build-up of bacteria, literally a colony of bacteria, and they've moved in!  The hard tartar usually can only come off during a visit to your dentist for a check-up and cleaning.  Where tartar is more of a problem is if it builds below your gumline, where your tooth brush can't reach.  This tartar is irritating to your body and in response, your body can stay inflamed in the area.  Over time, the inflammation can cause the bone around your teeth to withdraw, making your teeth loose.  The inflammation is what we call active periodontal disease, or active gum disease.
You can do something about tartar to prevent it!  As you brush and floss daily, you are breaking up the bacteria so they can't build tartar.  Without their removal the bacteria can colonize, and this can lead to active gum disease and cavities.  See your oral health professional today to determine any needs you have, and you can ask if there are any areas in your mouth where tartar can get trapped.
