    Of course!! But the real question is, do you floss? Daily flossing adds nearly 7 years to your life expectancy. Sorry, I am a dental assistatnt.

    Yes ma'am, I'm hoping it will add youthful enjoyable years, and not the years spent drooling in my wheelchair in the rest home.

    That's one of my goals actually LOL.
    I'm in a November challenge, and my one good habit is brushing, flossing, and mouthwashing three times a day.
    That DOES include my tongue! :laugh:
