31. Not Flossing
And no, we are not talking about the dance move from a few years back. Flossing is one of the most important things you can do to protect your oral health, and most people do not floss regularly. And while most people brush their teeth regularly – the alternative is having atrocious breath that will melt off people’s eyebrows – flossing is not nearly as common as it should be. When you floss, you get out the bits of food that can become stuck between your teeth, which create an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive and cause cavities. Start making flossing a priority before you go to bed each night.
