Question:

I need an analogy for the reasons to use floss...?

i'm a current dental student and one of our instructors is asking us to look for oral hygiene instructions/explanations in the form of analogies that we could tell our patients. I'm answering the question "why should i floss?" and although I know the importance of flossing, I'm having trouble thinking of how to explain it in laymen's terms so that a patient could understand. I'm wondering if any of you dentists or hygenists out there have something in mind. Thanks!

Its like not weeding in between the cracks of your driveway. If you don't do it eventually it will become a sore sight to others.
