Do You Floss Enough? (Day 3514 - 7/9/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3513) | Next Vlog (Day 3515)

Stephen and Mallory decided to have raspberries before going to bed. He says that he was talking to Mal about how it feels like the week passes by so quickly. Stephen says that week feels quick because there are so many great things that happen throughout the week. For example, Tuesdays and Thursdays are Breakfast Stream, Wednesdays are Lunch Bunch, Fridays are gaming streams, and Saturdays are game night recordings for Stephen & Friends.

Stephen then talks about how he had a dentist appointment to clean his teeth today. He says that he hasn't had cavities in a while. The dentist said that his teeth look good, but his gums trail off. So, the dentist asked Stephen if he flossed enough to which he replied that he doesn't floss enough. He says that there are times where he will floss regularly and then times where he won't floss at all. The reasons behind not flossing are that he forgets, is too lazy, or is too busy. When he occasionally flosses, his gums will get puffy and bleed. Additionally, his gums become sensitive to any sugary foods. If he eats any sugary foods within a day or so of flossing his gums will hurt. Therefore, he has associated that pain with the fact that he flossed even though he knows it's from eating sugary foods.

Stephen says that his mom flosses about 5 times a day and has incredible dental hygiene. Mal also flosses everyday. Stephen then says "but my teeth are good" while Mal disapprovingly shakes her head and sighs. He then says that they like to end the evening by eating berries. Stephen talks about how if he were to eat chocolate after having his teeth professionally cleaned his gums would hurt so badly that he would cry.
