Dental Floss
Why is it (and I really do think I have a point) that the dental floss your dentist gives you (perhaps forcibly) is the cheapest floss conceivable? It’s hardly waxed. If it’s mint flavoured, it’s flavoured poorly. It shreds during use. It comes in an awkward container straight out of 1950. Is this supposed to make me want to floss? The floss I’ve been buying for a couple years now is still pretty cheap, but it’s been much better than trying to use the crap that my dentist gave me.
Maybe dental offices should give away good quality floss, which might actually encourage use. Or maybe it’s all a scam (more money for the dentists?).

I have recently been to the dentist, and wasn’t even given floss. So when I went back, I found the good stuff in the bathroom, and took it. Oral B Satin floss is amazing.
