Dental floss is dangerous! Leading me to ask the question ‘Who needs Botox?’
A couple of days ago I accidentally nicked the corner of my mouth with a length of dental floss. I finished cleaning my teeth and went to bed. When I awoke the next morning my lips had swollen and puffed out … to say the very least it was uncomfortable and left them feeling sore … So far the ‘Botox’ look has lasted three whole days and I am quite fed-up with plastering them with Vaseline to protect them.
Years ago before dental floss was invented, I used a length of cotton or thread to clean between my teeth.

An experience that is quite unique, but how to dental floss can occur?
SL - It is the first time and hopefully the last time that this has or will occur for me. I had a rather long length of dental floss and wound it around the index fingers of both my hands. I was reaching between my last two bottom molars on the left-hand side, the floss became caught - I pulled at it with my left hand and it gave way cutting the very edge of my lips like a cheese wire. It was only a very little cut and so I didn't think any more about it until I awoke the next morning. There I was with puffed out lips that gradually became sore as the day progressed.
Really, I should have known better. My teeth are very close together and therefore I really should have been using dental tape or dental ribbon which does the job far more effectively when you have no gaps between your teeth.
This is a lesson I hope that I have learnt for good .. if by chance I do accidentally catch the corners of my mouth again .. then I will definitely use antiseptic cream!!
