I HATE flossing.

I was also going to mention the plastic toothpicks! I love them, since they can be used with one hand (i.e., while driving or on the phone), ergo, after every meal. I have a little thing of them in my purse.

My dentist also said "whatever you're doing, keep it up!" which surprises me because I'm not really doing much. I'm the daughter of a dentist but am not as anal about toothcare as I should be. I have a Sonicare toothbrush (and I'm never giving it up!) but only use it once a day, and I only use Listerine in the morning for about 10 seconds. Whoever invented those plastic toothpicks is probably the person to thank for my clean teeth!!

The dentist is one doctor who has always been proud of me. I get lots of compliments on my gums, too. They gave me this dental tool a long time ago, and I fiddle with it to keep me from eating at night. It's got the official metal dentist handle, but the end is a pointy rubber thing (like a rubber chocolate chip.) I think it's for massaging gums, and it keeps them pink and healthy.
