      I forgot about them until this post. They were a thing dentists sometimes gave (in my experience) to help you tune your brushing technique. They would make areas you missed pink.

        That’s nice, I wish I had those as a kid. Instead my mother would painfully wrench my mouth open and inspect it because she was a drunk asshole.

        That actually is nice.

        Like all bathroom habits, we were taught them before we could really think of them as anything other than ritual.

        For me, reducing them to science when I was 10 or so would really help. Granted I have genetically perfect teeth (through no effort of my own), so they might not have given them to me.
