Just visited the dentist and and she told me that although my teeth are perfect i have gum disease and will be needing to really get into flossing and brushing twice a day. She said that now there is information that it's linked to heart disease, strokes, heart poisoning, forms of cancer and other terrible stuff. Freaky huh?

But as the title says i'm not alone. 8/10 adults ave some form of it!? woah.

So i was wondering, do you all brush twice a day+ floss thoroughly?

I'll be honest,i barely brush ever in the mornings and i've had episodes were I've skipped brushing because i just couldn't be bothered, or didn't make time for it. How about you?
