July 14 - Kinds of Healthy

Day 194 of a year of Kindness

I went to the dentist. It is a super kind thing to do. It’s also extremely kind to floss. When I was in high school, I got five cavities at once. I’m sure it was from my sweet tooth. Getting my cavities filled (in the 80s) felt like extreme torture. My dentist told me that I wouldn’t have had so many cavities if I had flossed regularly. 

As a result, I am a super flosser. It is one of the kindest things I do for myself every day.

Science of kindness:An increasing body of evidence suggests that proper dental care - including regular flossing - can prevent serious diseases. Research also reveals that people who floss daily have healthier gums and keep their teeth longer. If you take care of your teeth, you will be more confident about smiling, which means more people will smile. #bekind #kindnessiscontagious #kindnessisfree #kindness #floss
