Question:
How to floss teeth without getting it all over the mirror?
I floss while looking in the mirror, and no matter how I do it, I always get bits of food and gunk all over the mirror. Does this happen to you? Am I doing something wrong? Also, I hate handling the stinky stuff with my fingers. Is that avoidable while using dental floss?

Won't I get bits of food all over the place (ie. on the floor, on the table, on people) regardless of where I stand?
Answers:
Try rinsing with water before flossing. It'll get the bigger stuff out. I floss in front of the mirror also. Yes, sometimes it splatters on the mirror, lol. It's fine. It's the floss taking the gunk out. I like to run my 2 fingers gently down the floss before I start. That way it gets off the excess wax and decreases some the stickiness. But I just rinse my fingers after. Try experimenting with different flosses. I like ones that don't leave any minty taste. I find those sticky. Keep it up! =)
