Revolutionary new dental floss will amaze and astound

When I unpacked my groceries, I noticed that the dental floss I bought has the description "High tech." Just what sort of innovation would qualify floss as high tech? Well if you're like me, you imagine the following: The floss contains compounds that, when coming into contact with organic material, release proteins. These proteins enter the areas between your teeth as you are flossing. Inside of the protein is a nano-bot (a really small robot), which contains a nano-laser (not a real thing, but just imagine it is a really small laser). The nano-bot uses its nano-laser to destroy plaque, as well as the germs that cause the gum disease gingivitis. The bacteria that cause bad breath witness this massacre and will rush to exit your mouth in a fit of panic. After the nano-bot wielding proteins have finished ridding your mouth of plaque, bacteria, and germs, they dissolve into a thin coating. This coating eats away at the stains on your teeth, making your teeth brighter and shinier, while providing a barrier protecting them from future attacks.

That is what I figured a "high-tech" dental floss must do. So what actually makes it "high-tech?" It's a little bit wider than regular floss. Posted by mill1991 at February 15, 2005 11:05 AM | TrackBack
