      What if they teach them how to floss too. Are they gonna kill gingivitis too? I always knew dentists were evil villains, it's communist indoctrination!

        Capitalism is when your teeth look like forest of clear cut tree stumps.

          It really is. Health insurance treats them like luxury bones you don't really need. I find it fascinating how you can tell a lot about the economic backround of a person based on the way their teeth look.

          Nobody told me how important teeth were for your health. I found out about it through dentist youtubers like 👁️👄👁️

            It is. There is plaque trapped between your gums and teeth that never gets removed. The point of flossing is to remove that. If you look up tutorials you will see where the floss goes (it gets a little inside your gum and hugs your teeth).

            Imagine never brushing the back of your teeth, that's gonna smell bad and get infected. If you avoid doing it because it smells bad and you bleed then that's a sign you have to start doing it. Seriously, the floss is not supposed to smell bad and shouldn't get blood on it.

            All I'm saying is that interproximal cavities are fucking gay and you should avoid them while you still can.

              It's not. You might be doing it wrong. Dental hygiene is not magic, you have to be taught how to properly do it and then be consistent for the rest of your life.

                  That's... not factually correct. You want heart disease? Because that's how you get heart disease. And expensive dental work. Floss your teeth properly, at least for your breath. Don't be gross.

                  I can't believe I'm on chapo dot chat on a weekend in the year 2020 trying to convince an adult that they have to floss properly because they have to prevent tooth decay 😭
