Mum never allowed us to put anything in our mouths but a toothbrush, a spoon, or a fork. No straws and no lollypops. Whenever the dentist gave my sister or me dental floss, she’d throw it out, claiming “tooth twine” was nasty stuff. To this day, I feel guilty using it.
Considering the way I was raised, it’s a wonder I’m not battier than I am.
