I was never taught about flossing when I was a kid, so I'm not really practiced with it and don't know much about it. That story about barnacles on your teeth sounds pretty scary though. Is flossing something I should be seriously concerned about? I've never had any issues with my teeth and dentists have never mentioned anything, although I've never mentioned my lack of flossing to them. I've tried flossing before, but I think my teeth might be too close together for it to be an easy thing to do.

The Skeleton King posted:Calculus (the hard, barnacle-like plaque) tends to form differently for everyone. It's hard to predict, simple to prevent. Flossing frequently is the most effective way to prevent it (though you should see a hygienist every year at the very least to make sure that nothing has set up shop). Hopefully my teeth aren't already on the path towards having periodontal disease. My gums don't bleed though, so that seems like a good sign. The range of prices for water picks seem pretty big, do you know if there's a significant difference between the cheaper ones and the more expensive models?
