Right.

And then I myself didn't know I had to do the gums and also at the back.

So I've learned a lot about teeth.

Anyway, so I brushed each side of each tooth, roughly 30 teeth.

So that's 25 teeth, 25 sides, whatever.

So it's about 10 times up and down.

500 times each night while Mary's going, this is taking a long time, isn't it?

500 a night, that's half a thousand.

That's 15,000 a month for six months.

90,000 times have I run dental floss up and down my teeth purely on this mission from God or the universe to see if it gets rid of the plaque.

And the plaque, according to the dentist whom I saw just the other day, was both much reduced –

and also the gums were in the best condition you'd ever seen.

And, you know, they do that thing where they get the little pointy tool and they sort of shove it down the inside of the gum.

Every now and then you get a bit of blood here and there.

And for the first time, there's been no blood.

So brushing the teeth, and so there's three sides for your molars, like the inside, the outside, and the top, two sides for your incisors.

And then the dental floss, I now have the best teeth ever in my whole life.

But now I've got to keep on doing it or can I get lazy?

Yeah.

Well, it has been claimed that the time needed to establish a habit is 21 days.
