One of the things Dr. M commented on yesterday was that I had good hygiene. *pats myself on the back* But seriously! I asked him, how can I possibly have good hygiene? The insides of my teeth haven't seen a toothbrush in 4 weeks! Never mind "daily flossing!" He laughed and said it was normal and I was doing fine.
I do brush the outsides of my teeth several times a day with the smallest baby toothbrush I could find (it has Snoopy on it! :) and I use mouthwash like it is going out of style! But I am constantly worried that I have bad breath and that the fuzziness on the insides of my teeth is going to take over...
Why am I telling you about all this loveliness? So that you can maybe appreciate just a slight bit of the joy I felt today when I brushed my teeth with the elastics off. I could open my mouth (just 1 cm) and some of the bristles reached the inside of my upper teeth...oooh cleanliness! The bottom teeth were jealous, but when I tried to angle the bristles over the lower teeth my jaw cramped up and said that was enough of that! So only a few teeth got just slightly cleaner, but it made me feel so good for a moment. I bet you've never thought that brushing and flossing were a privilege!
