Don’t monkey with Dental Hygiene

Don’t monkey with Dental Hygiene

Even the Baboons at Paignton Zoo/Environmental Park in Devon, England know the value of clean teeth. Charlotte Morgan studies monkey personalities and reports that primates floss their teeth for hygienic and social purposes. She is quoted, “there does appear to be a relationship between certain personality traits and dental flossing.” Don’t be a human, brush and floss every day.

During a family dinner my brother, the dentist, was giving all of us a pep talk about the importance of flossing. My other brother commented, “flossing is really a pain in the rear.” The dentist came back with, “then you are definitely not doing it right.”

If a dentist makes money off people with bad teeth, why should I trust a toothbrush that 4 out of 5 dentists recommend?

A woman saying she’s not mad at you is like a dentist saying you won’t feel a thing.

Husband: Every time I criticize you, you never fight back. What do you do?
Wife: I clean the toilet.
He: How does that make sense?
She: I use your toothbrush.
