No More Pretending
In a regular relationship, you can probably get away without flossing as long as your gums aren’t visibly bleeding and your breath doesn’t smell like week-old garlic. Dating a dentist is different. This Twitter user will be disappointed merely pretending to floss when you date your mouth doc isn’t going to cut it.
According to NPR, in 2015, a survey found that only 40% of adults floss daily. And remember, that’s a survey, which means some of those people are probably fibbing to save face when they should be focused on saving their teeth. Your dentist can immediately sniff out your lie by your bad breath, red, puffy gums, and receding gumline. Save yourself the embarrassment and theatrics and just floss.
