My last chance at amusing factoids about dental hygiene
#1 Each person's set of teeth is unique - much like their fingerprints - even in identical twins.
- this is why dental records can be used to identify bodies when all other identifying marks are missing.
#2 If you're right handed, you will chew your food on your right side. If you're left handed, you will tend to chew your food on your left side.
- this is going to make me crazy for a few days.
and this one deserved more research:
#3 Some cheeses are have been found to protect teeth from decay.
- so I went on a google hunt. I found this article about it. So it appears that the acid that causes your teeth to become susceptible to cavities can be counteracted (to a degree) by dairy.
I think this was my favorite line though:
And, they emphasize, eating cheese should not replace regular brushing and flossing, which removes food particles and plaque, thus inhibiting the proliferation of bacteria on teeth and gums.
Seriously, I love the things lawyers make you do.
**report for yesterday
Getting close to a perfect start. Yesterday was easy, since I was up reasonably early and out and about for the holiday. I have to not get lazy though, yesterday I caught myself nearly missing a few teeth, it doesn't count unless I floss them all. Can't let the lazy sneak in...maybe keeping the momentum won't be as easy as I thought. I will keep my eye on it.
