Because I hear so many stories from my lovely lab ladies, I found today that I had a few of their stories crossed up. The pulling out of the soft palette is still totally true. It was a story to teach us the importance of getting dentures out every day, otherwise the glue does its job a little to well. The part that had to do with flossing was this...
Denise had a patient that didn't like to floss and never did (this you know if you read the previous blog). Well this client developed an abscess... then this abscess got infected... then turned systemic (meaning it spread to the rest of his body)... and in the end it left him paralyzed!
So floss your teeth and add up to seven years to your life! ... Or don't and possibly end up paralyzed... no bueno!
