4/27    Which one, dental floss or sonic toothbrush, cleans between the teeth
        better if both are used properly?  Thanks.
        \_ Call your dentist.
        \_ i use both. floss is better at this job. sonic toothbrush is
           awsome, but not THAT good.
        \_ Floss' main purpose is to stimulate gums; secondary purpose is to
           clean between teeth.  As poster above said, use both.
           \_ Why do we want to stimulate the gums?
              \_ so they dont rot and turn black and make your teeth fall out.
           \_ If I skip flossing for a couple days then I'll bleed a lot when
              I floss again. It sucks.
        \_ It's all a conspiracy of the flossing Axis. Plenty of other
           countries don't use it.  You don't really need it.  It is like
           toilet-paper. Nobody ever died from not using it.
           Do you realize how many millions of yards of this they sell each yr?
           Same groups produce both. Coincidence? I think not!
           \_ Movin' to Montana soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoon...
        \_ They do totally different things. sonicare isn't going to get a
           piece of chicken or popcorn dislodged from between teeth, but it does
           a good job of removing the stuff that turns into plaque.

2/2     How much does it cost to do a resin-based composite two surf.
        tooth filling? I'm quoted for $142. My insurance pays
        about 40% so I need to shell out the rest. I'm wondering
        if $142/tooth is the standard price?    -poor student
        \_ A friend of mine just sent me the link. Basically
           my quote is a bit high but not overly outrageous:

        Yes!!! Women are getting prettier and prettier due to evolution.
        "In men, by contrast, good looks appear to count for little, with
        handsome men being no more successful than others in terms of numbers
        of children. This means there has been little pressure for men
        appearance to evolve."
