Open Wide, Please....

   "I find that most men would rather have their bellies opened for five hundred dollars than have a tooth pulled for five." ~Martin H. Fischer

   When an adult person sits in a dental chair we expect they will try their hardest to accomodate us as much as we accomodate them. Its a relationship, not fast food.

   Unlike an animal, who is without human reasoning and language, we expect you understand our needs when we voice them to you. Case in point: when asked to open your mouth a little wider, we just expect you know what that means and how to perform such a feat. Often its adults who find this request somewhat difficult, while children will readily give your their biggest alligator mouth possible.

Flossing: (verb) To show off something that is of high value.

"Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond." ~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, 1605

   

     Flossing, by the Urban Dictionary definition, describes an act of showing off something of value in hopes of frequently getting laid. I am here to explain that this idea and word originated in the Dental community with a thin piece of twine, commonly referred to as "Floss". When used properly, said Floss can in fact help one to show off something of value. That something being a fantastic set of original, healthy teeth, regarded throughout the world as being quite sexy.
