I floss more since working on the web content for a dental surgery.  It’s the best one in Sussex of course, namely Ferring Dental Practice. Talk about an eye opener – I was suddenly learning about all things dental and let me tell you people, oral hygiene is a must. No more excuses!

I had never considered the fact that a mouth is actually one end of an intestinal tract (well, why would I?). Apparently it's a really useful gauge of your general health, and whatever is going on in there. Your mouth is bound to be an interesting place if you think about it, full of millions of cells being renewed everyday – a hotbed of aerobic and anaerobic bacterial thingumbobs - your dentist sees it all…. knows it all.

It seems I’m not alone in ignoring my gnashers, because there isn’t a single library book on dentistry in Worthing. The nearest thing was a quiz book aimed at trainee dental nurses. If cabin fever sets in over Christmas I recommend that book as it was really good fun, especially as I had been doing my research as part of the job. At one point I correctly diagnosed that the imaginary patient had liver disease and started gathering my virtual instruments on my pretend table. That’s what I love about my business – I get to dip into other people’s worlds and then move on. Taking my floss with me…
