Only With Regular Brushing and Flossing

This week attendees for the Yankee Dental Congress have drilled their way into Boston. Through the snow, and more snow, they have arrived into Back Bay to attend the 30th Yankee Dental Congress at the Hynes Convention Center. Pre-conference events start tomorrow and the conference oficially opens Thursday. This means if you’re visiting the Pru or Copley Mall, riding on the orange or green line or going into a candy store - beware – your dentist is watching you. Getting off at the Back Bay station today Bostonist overheard a heated discussion about patients not flossing. We stopped into the closest CVS and picked up some Glide immediately. There is nothing quite like a hoard of dentists to make you start licking your teeth and wondering how many cavities might be lurking in your molars. To our surprise Mike Barnicle, everyone’s favorite Massachusetts news man, is the keynote to the opening ceremony. Bostonist knows nothing about Barnicle’s teeth or knowledge of dental practice. However, we’re pretty sure that he does have a history of being abrasive. Enjoy the city this weekend, but bring your toothbrush. 26,000 dentists will be watching you.
