I learned from working at a dental college how important it is to floss every day. I was very bad about this in the past, and thought that my bleeding gum problem couldn’t be helped unless I went to a periodontist. Not true.

My father was an oral surgeon. I worked in his office, and if I heard it once, I heard it a thousand times – “People don’t lose their teeth because of too many cavities, they lose their teeth because they don’t floss!” I’ve become so conscious of food lodging between my teeth, I have those little stimudents in each of my handbags for quick “touch-ups” whenever I eat out.
