who required all new patients to take a two-session course in flossing and
oral health. Only when he was satisfied that patients would be capable of
caring for their teeth properly would he then make their first cleaning
appointment. Nancy learned the technique, and recently a friend named
her "the Floss Queen." We came across an ad stating that "If you follow
a vegan diet, you may opt for Eco-Dent' s GentleFloss, which uses
beeswax instead of animal products." Who knew?
The irony behind all this is that Medicare doesn' t cover any dental
procedures, even though dentists emphasize how bad teeth can cause
illness in other, internal parts of the body. For example, a research team
from Columbia University' s School of Public Health released the results of
a three-year study of 420 men and women, concluding that the
improvement of gum health can help slow the development of
atherosclerosis, the build-up of cholesterol-rich plaque along artery walls,
which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
I still regret that I would eat candy without flossing afterward.
Especially a Clark Bar, which could cause a cavity and fill it simultaneously.
