Yay! I just had a great hygiene appointment, particularly compared to my last one. The hygienist was surprised and asked if I'd been flossing daily. She said my teeth were really clean. The cleaning was really quick and I had almost no bleeding. Now I just have one spot on my gums that is a bit itchy. The dentist said that should clear up with time and continued flossing. So I really have motivation to continue with the flossing and trying to improve my brushing.
