"So as a dental hygienist, I'd like to say to you that of course I would like to see everyone flossing. But as a very practical dental hygienist, I have to tell you that not everyone does. And what we're here to do is, help you find what products, what techniques are right for you. You need to find and you need to experiment with all the wonderful array of products that are out there today. To find the ones that are best suited for your lifestyle, your personality, your needs, your likes, your preferences. And if you find those products, you will find that you will be healthy and you will be very happy in doing this. It can become very easy if you find the right products. What the flossing aspect or gum tissue stimulation does is it going to maintain a state of health. So that you will keep your teeth in your mouth for as long as possible. Hopefully, your lifetime. As well as maintain overall great health. And when we are doing that, you not only are smiling healthy. But you smile beautiful. And I think that's a win win situation. Because remember your smile is always in style. Regardless of what season it is. What clothing is in or out. It's what is right and what is healthy for you. Thank you."
