5 Water Flossers That Will Make Your Dentist Actually Give You a Compliment

How do I use a water flosser without spraying water everywhere? Fill the reservoir with water, lean over the sink (you should be looking down, not straight ahead), and keep your lips mostly closed around the tip so water can drip out instead of spraying. Start on the lowest pressure, turn it on only after the tip is in your mouth, and trace along the gum-line-pausing briefly between teeth-then turn it off (or wait until it automatically turns off) before removing it from your mouth.

Dear Abby: Maybe we shouldn't have stared, but brushing your teeth in a fancy restaurant?

The food was great, and so was the conversation. My husband leaned close to me and whispered, She's brushing her teeth! I glanced to my left. I had thought the gal at the next table was just using a toothpick. No, she was vigorously brushing with a full-sized toothbrush! After about a minute, she placed the toothbrush into a cosmetic bag and pulled out a denture container.

15 "Bad" Health Habits That Are Secretly Ruining Your Health, Straight From Doctors And Nurses

Not taking care of your feet. I have regularly seen older patients come into the hospital with very long toenails and nail fungus that HAS to be a 20-year (at least) case. I know the older folks are often on a fixed income, but Medicare pays for a podiatrist to do nail trims. This is not a luxury. If you can't reach your feet, see a podiatrist regularly. There are treatments that work. As we age, often the blood vessels in our legs aren't optimal, so it's important to address issues early. Ingrown toenails and fungus can present - or indicate - other problems.
