Good for you, falls! I picture your big lovely smile with one of those little sparkles on your tooth.
I've struggled with getting to a daily flossing habit for years. Still not quite there. I bought minty mouthwash for the first time. Somehow that helps-- I use it as my reward for if I brush AND floss.
I had that mouthful of silver too, but now they're deteriorating and have gradually been replaced with composite. I missed only 2 years of checkups and had like 10 cavities afterward, but fortunately no root canals. I'm trying to cut down my pretty bad sugar habit (love to binge on sour candy and soda).
Turning 40 gave me a little boost in flossing motivation-- my gums are visibly receding now-- I have one uncle with gums so receded over his eyeteeth he looks like count dracula when he smiles big. I sure don't want to end up like that. So it's floss, floss, floss.
