As a hygienist who has worked for many years I just want to say that this article was very good. Vicki Santillano was right on the mark with her information and advise. With diabetic pts there is a strong correlation betw the amount of carbs they ingest and the whole effect it has on their body. As for any person, compromised or not, there are so many devises out there to clean between your teeth that there should not be any excuse to not floss. If wrapping string around your fingers is not your thing then try some of the other products out there: such as a small proxy brush, soft piks, flossers, or a waterpik. Whatever you prefer just be sure to use it daily. My advise to my patients is: if you eat that day you clean between your teeth that night (or at the least just before sleeping whenever that might be).

I definitely floss daily so I can enjoy all of my sweets;) Dentists scare me so I also do the tongue scraping- anything to avoid having to go to the dentist:) (knock on wood!)
