To squeeze or not to squeeze

So we use this kind of squeezy fluoride rinse-

There's a little container thing that you squeeze the rinse into to make sure you only use the right amount....and that's always the highlight of the night routine.

To squeeze after you've rinse already for tomorrow, or not to squeeze so that you can squeeze tomorrow....that is the question.

Ends of floss

I have this problem when I reach the end of floss- I'm scared that I'm going to pull out this piece, then there's going to be a tiny little end, so I keep pulling.....and pulling....and pulling...until I have a huge long piece and there's still floss inside the thingie.

Fluoride rinse

Andd.....in some non-bassoon news...

I'm always so scared when pouring fluoride rinse into my mouth that my swallowing reflexes will kick in and I'll just swallow the mouthful.

From the archives of Happy Little Thoughts: Teeth people

Apparently dentists, orthodontists, and other teeth people don't realize that, while they're asking you [random] questions [that don't even have to do with teeth], they have an average of two tools in your mouth and you can't answer because your mouth is full of metal and you can't nod or shake your head because then you'd get poked in several places. #longsentances
