After flossing my teeth like I do every day week month, it dawned on me that the names of dental practices are all wrong.

In my view, gum care is more important than tooth care. Teeth are the hardest part of the human body. You’ll have teeth years after there’s no other trace of you left. But your gums, however, are much more fragile, and play a huge roll in dental care.

That’s why I think toothbrushes should be called gumbrushes.
