    Being someone who constantly gets things stuck in my gnashers, I make the evaluation of how tricky that food is to get out of there and if there's a good chance I tell them, if not I don't. I wish everyone would make that evaluation.....it's frustrating as hell to be told you have something in your teeth that you can't get out without using some makeshift floss (don't ask).

      I gotta ask. Please expand on the floss comment! I'm born nosey.

        things I have used as makeshift floss/toothpicks: a piece of thread pulled out of my clothes, a paperclip, a pushpin, staples, the end of a mental nail file and worst of all....several strands of my hair....I had no choice and I had a tiny fly stuck in my teeth (no joke - possibly the worst thing I've had stick in my teeth EVER).

          Very creative! Um, your teeth have been through hell :-)
